Pauline Hanson’s StubbyGate!

September 10, 2020

She slammed them as alcoholics and drug addicts, but controversial Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson is this week embroiled in a political scandal that stretches all the way from Melbourne’s most disadvantaged public housing estates to the most senior ranking officials at Australia Post.

It began as just your typical run-of-the-mill toxic race-based attack Pauline Hanson’s renowned for, when she appeared Channel Seven’s Summer of Nazis show ‘Sunrise’ to complain about the “derro’s” and junkies living in two separate estates in Flemington and North Melbourne in the city’s inner north-west.

The perpetually outraged Hanson, claimed that the residents of the towers were “from war-torn countries” and said “probably English is their second language” and that they had not “adhered to the rules of social distancing”.

But this week it’s been reported attempted that Pauline, in a rare moment of introspection, decided to make amends for denigrating these unfortunate souls on national television for her own political purposes by sending a small token of her appreciation via Australia Post.

And what better gift for those you have just slammed as alcoholics and drug addicts than a Pauline Hanson stubbie holder emblazoned with her mugshot and the slogan “I’ve got the guts to say what you’re thinking.”

It was accompanied with a hand-written note that read: “No hard feelings”.

    Meanwhile Dan Andrews proves that he’s even incompetent at being dishonest!!

    Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said police had no input into Melbourne’s 8pm curfew, contradicting Premier Daniel Andrews’ statement on Wednesday that police had requested the night-time rule to make enforcement easier.

    Mr Andrews said this yesterday:

    “It’s all about, the health advice [says] limit movement. Righto, police then say, ‘these are hard rules to enforce, we reckon there’s a bunch of people who are out that shouldn’t be out. Give us the clearest, simplest set of rules you can. And [give us] a curfew that says ‘unless you’ve got a lawful reason to be outside after 8, soon 9pm, until 5am, then you can’t be’.’ It is much easier for Victoria Police

    Surely a Gutter Trash stubby-holder for each of us holdouts is not too much to ask. A subtle, nuanced slogan would be in order. Something like “I don’t give a fuck what you think. Here’s what I think!”

    (Maybe Dan pleads the 5th: on the basis of all of the advices, Premier Andrews decided that a curfew made the best use of finite resources, and their deployments, during an ongoing state of emergency, to combat a clear and present threat to the healths and wellbeings of all Victorians, including overtaxed emergency and policing services personnel; and no amount of second-guessing, nitpicking, or poo-flinging from alt-politicks’ armchair-textspurts really matters a tinker’s damn?)

    “[Police said] ‘give us the clearest, simplest set of rules you can. And [give us] a curfew…’ It is much easier, it is much easier for Victoria Police,” Mr Andrews said on Wednesday.

    ”I was never consulted,” Mr Patton told 3AW radio on Thursday morning. “We had never asked for a curfew.”

    But, he also said all decisions are ‘informed’ (or wtte) by scientific and medical experts. Not that they make them all.

    As your quote said, the police wanted ways to help them enforce their role. Someone said a curfew will help. The police, and medical experts, all agree.

    So, whoevers idea it was, it was a good one, and the scientific and medical experts agree

    Just point out where his outraged media advisor has clarified or corrected or demanded a retraction .

    Business as usual in the Mueller/Weismann Gang:

    “At least 27 cell phones were wiped of data before the DOJ inspector general could review them, some reset to factory settings and some wiped “accidentally” after the wrong password was entered too many times, according to 87 pages of DOJ records regarding the phones issued to members of the special counsel’s office. Including mobile phones that were “reassigned,” the Special Counsel’s office wiped a total of 31 phones.
    A phone belong to assistant special counsel James Quarles “wiped itself without intervention from him,” the DOJ’s records state.

    Andrew Weismann, a top prosecutor on Mueller’s team, “accidentally wiped” his cell phone, causing the data to be lost. Other members of the team also accidentally wiped their phones, the DOJ said.

    Phones issued to at least three other Mueller prosecutors, Kyle Freeny, Rush Atkinson, and senior prosecutor Greg Andres were also wiped of data.”

    FYI – How likely is it that this many people sat down and “accidentally” entered the wrong password on their own phones 10 times in a row, the threshold required to nuke a phone? How many times have any of you entered a wrong password 10 times in a row?

    And for the Record:

    On Sunday afternoon police released a statement confirming officers spoke to Ms Bonett “at the checkpoint in relation to her mobile phone obstructing her view due to its position on the windscreen and explained that this was an offence”.

    “The woman refused to remove her phone from the windscreen,” the spokesman said.

    The police spokesman alleged that Ms Bonett refused to supply her details and driver’s licence which are offences under the Road Safety Act.

    “The woman was warned that if she did not provide her details, she would be arrested,” the spoksman said.

    “She still refused and was asked by police to get out of her car. When she refused this request, she was taken from the car by officers and taken into custody.

    “The Wallan woman was later released and is expected to be charged on summons with driving with obscured vision, fail to produce licence, fail to state her name and address, resist arrest, assault police and offensive language.”

    In the footage Ms Bonett shared, she questioned why she was being asked to get out of the car over a phone charger, which she said “is sold everywhere.”

    “That’s not the problem anymore,” a police officer says in the vision.

    “The problem is now that you won’t state your name.”

    Ms Bonett can be heard telling police she would not get out of the car because she didn’t “feel safe”.

    “You’re armed,” she says in the video.

    “You’re safe, don’t you worry about that,” a police officer can be heard saying.

    Unreasonable (and quite frankly ignorant* – in the true sense of the word) behaviour with any police officer doing their job, will cause a reaction …

    and ignorance of the law has never been an excuse … (I smell a set up – again)

    By all those accounts: the man is bipolar (according to his father) and had checked himself out of hospital. He was trying to run away from the cops who arrived in force when a police car ran into him throwing him metres in the air. They then pepper-sprayed him, four or five held him down, then he was kicked and stomped on, the kicker them pressing his knee into the back of his neck.

    Yeah, really doesn’t sound like he was baiting them. BTW, in your world, what kind of behaviour ever justifies police kicking someone to the head, let alone when he’s already been subdued and defenceless?

    If some odd woman won’t leave her car at a check point, just block her in it for an hour. She’ll be glad to leave.

    I think the US election will be a complete mess:

    1. Biden will not concede even if he is thrashed:

    “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out,” Hillary clinton.

    2.. The Democrats seem to think they will lose big on election night but will be able to win the mail-in ballot (for obvious reasons):

    “We are sounding an alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility, that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump,” he said.

    “When every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final day, which will be some days after Election Day, it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that, a mirage,” Mendelsohn said. “It looked like Donald Trump was in the lead and he fundamentally was not when every ballot gets counted.”

    3. Trump is unlikely to concede if he is beaten badly in the mail ballots.

    4. Mayhem will ensue, rioting and violence in the streets.

    5. There will be court case after court case even up to and after the swearing in date. In that case Trump will say he should remain in office until the outcome is decided and Pelosi will no doubt say she should take over until then!

    6. A couple of retired generals have urged the military to get involved if Trump overstays.

    IBAC, along with Victoria’s community legal sector and, in 2018, a joint parliamentary committee, have demanded the Labor Government give the commission the powers and resources to investigate more cases of police misconduct and do so more effectively.

    The commission’s lack of powers means that, too often, police are left policing themselves, perpetuating a culture of self-regulation at the heart of many of the scandals enveloping the force today…Premier Daniel Andrews has for years ignored calls to plug gaping holes in IBAC’s powers, resources and mandate which means it can’t investigate police as extensively and thoroughly as it should…

    Yea, so when people were demonstrating against Nazis, and getting beaten up for it, while pigs were high fiving nazis, that went by your radar

    When pigs were beating people for protesting about saving the planet from AGW, that flew below your radar, and when BLM protesters were getting herded into a corner and sprayed with capsicum spray, that went below the radar.

    But when idiots start baiting the pigs (“I was thinking of the sheila in the car with the phone holder…”), it’s a real issue, and then, when the pigs act like pigs, it’s all Dans fault.

    I was felt sorry for Andrew Gillum as he recently spoke about his public humiliation. He had the misfortune to be exposed in one of his worst moments – something which most of us could not bear:

    “Everyone believes the absolute worst about that day. At this stage, I don’t have anything else to have to conceal,” Gillum said during the interview with Hall, according to CNN. “I literally got broken down to my most bare place, to the place where I wasn’t even sure that I wanted to live.”

    But like all politicians he has difficulty taking responsibility for putting himself in that situation.
    His next sentence seems to blame everyone else:

    “Not because of what I had done but because of everything that was being said about me.”

    Still these words of Andrew’s will resonate for all of us who have screwed up one way or another:

    “I believe we are all entitled to mistakes, and I believe we are entitled to those mistakes without having every other respectable and redeeming part of our lives invalidated,” he said

    There but for the grace of God …..

    “Are you trying to say that the man was never killed by a cop, or that black people are not killed disproportionately by cops?”

    I think BLM started as response to the Trayvon Martin Killing. That is where I first noticed them. Trayvon was sitting astride a Latino man pummeling his head into a concrete footpath. The Latino man managed to shoot Trayvon before he himself was killed or seriously injured. The killing was entirely justified and the real victim was acquitted on the basis of self defence. He should never have been charged.

    BLM really came to prominence when Michael Brown got what was coming to him, having tried to grab the gun of a police officer and then charging at him. Michael Brown was a thick-set and 193cm tall. BLM made up the lie that, at the time he was shot, Brown was kneeling down with his hands in the air saying “hands up don’t shoot”. A lie the BLM mongrels still chant to this day.

    At Ferguson BLM rehearsed their future tactics screaming “Burn the motherfucker down” as local businesses went up in smoke. In that case a grand jury decided not to indict the officer the officer on state charges and Loretta Lynch decided not bring federal charges.

    In both cases there was no justification for rioting or any form of protest. BLM, lied about these killings, gaslit really stupid people and started burning stuff down. Being Marxists, violent revolution is their goal. Police killing young blacks is merely the fuse to them.

    So yes, BLM was born in a lie, or a series of them.

    Also BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors speaking of herself and co-founder Alicia Garza said:

    “We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular, we’re trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on ideological theories.”

    So, yeah, BLM was born in a lie, midwived by “trained Marxists” and designed to fuck up society so that dumb leftists can re-make it in their own misshapen image. Dogfuckers one and all!

    Good point but:

    Wind Turbine

    The design life of a good quality modern wind turbine is 20 years. Depending on how windy and turbulent the site is, the turbine could last for 25 years or even longer, though as with anything mechanical, the maintenance costs will increase as it gets older.

    Cost:

    A wind turbine will cost anywhere from $7,000 – $20,000 installed (depending on turbine capacity, tower type, site grounds works, etc).

    Coal power plant:

    The average lifetime of a coal powered plant is 29 years although its design life is 40 to 50 years.

    Cost:

    A new coal-fired power plant would cost $3 billion, drive up energy prices and take eight years to build.

    And which one has an impact on Climate Change and all that has and is cost/costing us?

    Even more worryingly, proposed s 252 introduces a preventative detention regime which appears to have little protections or oversight, and provides far too much discretion to people who may lack the necessary expertise to determine risk, including police officers. The Bill does not specify what conduct may give rise to a “reasonable belief” that a person “is likely to refuse or fail to comply with” a direction. Again, police officers are not trained public health officials and will not have the expertise to determine the likelihood of a person’s conduct presenting a public health risk.

    Further, the period of detention is not specified in the Bill and there is no oversight regulation built into this power. It is to be determined based on what the designated authorised person, including a police officer, considers and if they reasonably believe the person remains a ‘high risk person’.

    The indefinite nature of these powers is exceptional and unlike other preventative detention regimes which contain fixed detention timeframes and strict oversight requirements. While these people have not committed any offence, they do not appear to have the right to challenge a decision to detain them – unlike people accused of criminal offences. Although they could seek judicial review of a decision, that is a costs jurisdiction which would make it difficult for people to challenge their detention.

    The dishonest, inconsistent, and disproportionate style of police and political leadership in Victoria is an issue that goes beyond the temporary enforcement of COVID-19 rules. Policing is a fundamental pillar of free societies. Law and social order need to be enforced, but this is not a blank cheque to throw proportionality out the window, trump up criminal charges, or choose who the law applies to. These are the characteristics of an unfree society that has rejected the rule of law, and sadly, now describe Australia’s second-largest state.

    Are we going to find out that this is what every other state does, just like with extending the powers they cried about previously?

    Meanwhile, the Feds happily trash what remains of our economy

    So much for evidence-based policy as a foundation for good, responsible government.

    There is no evidence to support the expansion of gas-fired generation in today’s world, where renewables are decidedly cheaper, and with negligible emissions.

    You do Tom R. Minneapolis, having voted to defund the police, already has reduced policing activity and is suffering what is known in academic circles as the “Minneapolis Effect”:

    A close analysis of the emerging crime patterns suggests that American cities may be witnessing significant declines in some forms of policing, which in turn is producing the homicide spikes. Crime rates are increasing only for a few specific categories—namely homicides and shootings. These crime categories are particularly responsive to reductions in proactive policing.”

    British billionaire Lord Alan Sugar has secured a coveted flight into Australia to film Celebrity Apprentice, even as tens of thousands of Aussies remain stranded overseas due to tough caps on international arrivals.

    The 73-year-old business magnate, who will helm the revived Channel 9 reality show after playing the same role in the UK version, announced his arrival in what many saw as a tone-deaf tweet on Thursday.

    Just another Robber Baron … see how easy its is … m’Lord … sick shit

    Fucking Desperate Dan again!

    Victorian health authorities race to suppress clusters spreading through five households who have broken lockdown rules.

    Premier Daniel Andrews said households visiting eachother was a “real issue” and it was “disappointing” to see families ignoring the rules.

    “The rules are in place for a reason and anyone who undermines this, undermines entire strategy and it means the rules will be on longer,” he said.

    Tale of Two States

    Right beside California is the Mexican state of Baja California. Both states have the same kind of climate and vegetation, so one would expect Baja California to suffer from the same kind of devastating wildfires. But that does not happen, as ecologist Richard Minnich found in a detailed study spanning nine years (1972 to 1980).

    To understand why California burns but Baja California does not, consider the landscape of a forest.
    To understand why California burns but Baja California does not, consider the landscape of a forest. There are tall trees, and in between them, the forest floor is covered with shrubs, grasses, and dead wood, which are all easily combustible because of their low moisture content, whereas trees take longer to catch on fire because they contain more moisture.

    In Baja California, when fires ignite on the forest floor, they are allowed to burn naturally. These low-intensity fires regularly clear out the forest floor and prevent the spread of large conflagrations. In California, on the other hand, there is an over-zealous policy that mandates extinguishing every fire, no matter how small.

    This allows all the shrubs and dead wood to accumulate, facilitating the rapid spread of large fires later. Fires are less frequent in the forests of California, but if a flame manages to go undetected for a little while, the results are disastrous.

    This disease has revealed the character of our leaders and hammered home some uncomfortable truths about us as a people. As a nation we seem comfortable with authoritarianism and too many relish the role of prefect.

    And nowhere in this often-opaque democracy has a less transparent court system, bureaucracy, police force or government than Victoria. The people there have been badly served, even as some revelled in the servitude. Its systems of power have combined to deliver the wanton destruction of its vibrant society. Its government has condemned its people to a poorer future, to higher unemployment, more poverty and less opportunity.

    Rejoice. Dan Andrews has destroyed the village to save it.

    The article was VERY clear about what was being reported. There is only one person to blame if you failed to read it correctly

    For first time, state has cheaper wholesale power than rest of country for consecutive months

    Oh, this is great news. Hopefully, finally, a minister will pay for their decisions.

    A federal court trial set to decide whether robodebt victims are entitled to compensation has been delayed after fresh claims were levelled against government minister Alan Tudge.

    The court heard at a pre-trial hearing on Monday that Gordon Legal plans to argue Tudge, who was human services minister in 2016-17, either knew or was “recklessly indifferent” to the fact the botched program was unlawful.

    Labors FTTP plan would be even more worthless because most people do not need 1Gbps speed and certainly could not afford to pay for it.

    As usual labor does not care for the poor.

    BTW apparently the current upgrade is for people on plans costing $150/month and more. Who wants to pay $150/month just to send emails and surf the net? And i bet you $150/month would not pay for the upgrade. This boondoggle is going to be have to added to Australia’s ever growing govt debt

    Could be NBNCo is getting worried about the 5G rollout.

    Fact is there is nothing wrong with fibre except the cost and the time it takes to build. If the Coalition made no changes half the country would still be on ADSL. Having a govt company build it makes it even worse. People are not even going for the highest speeds you can get with copper because of the cost

The one good thing to cone out of this virus response is people have seen what power state governments have over normal people’s lives if conditions allow.
