My educated guess would be all of it.

So JS, you did not watch it. So you are my friend a true socialist lefty who only wants to hear from lefties, and I assume you only watch snowflakes, greenies and of course labor speeches. Another person had the same initials as you, JS.. Josef Stalin, any relation. Cant you watch something and maybe see a different point of view.

To the contrary Sport, I am happy to watch and read anything from a credible source, and that interests me.

From past experience, Sky News After Dark fails at the first step.

So your assumption is incorrect.

From past experience, Sky News After Dark fails at the first step.

JS, if you have a problem watching programs after dark, I suggest you watch the replays in daylight. That will make you feel a whole lot more comfortable and informative.

[jackspratt]

Thanks for your suggestion, Sport - albeit a feeble play on words.

However, I am already quite comfortable, and as for informative - well, you read my posts, don't you.

Remus Rudd
No matter what side of the political fence you're on, THIS is FUNNY and VERY telling! It just all depends on how you look at the same things.

Judy Rudd an amateur genealogy researcher in south east Queensland , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that ex-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's great-great uncle, Remus Rudd, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Melbourne in 1889. Both Judy and Kevin Rudd share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows at the Melbourne Jail


On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription:

'Remus Rudd horse thief, sent to Melbourne Jail 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Melbourne-Geelong train six times.

Caught by Victoria Police Force, convicted and hanged in 1889.'


So Judy recently e-mailed ex-Prime Minister Rudd for information about their great-great uncle, Remus Rudd.





Believe it or not, Kevin Rudd's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:

"Remus Rudd was famous in Victoria during the mid to late 1800s. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Melbourne-Geelong Railroad..

Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the Victoria Police Force. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."


NOW That's how it's done, Folks!

That's real POLITICAL SPIN!

Our Canadian cousins will no doubt be fascinated by this story, given that exactly the same thing happened in Canada.

Gosh, do Australians really believe this judicial decision on gender identity and support it? Obviously, many don't, and one can see why women would oppose the idea of biological men being accepted as female in certain, organisations, groups and locations.

Agree, Uncle - it's a bit silly, and defies common sense doesn't it.

But not unique in Australian politics - in this case, the reverse ie making a sow's purse out of a silk ear. Or something like that.

Oz has huge amount's of energy underground that can be mined, sell surplus and keep the price of electricity down. Also give a helping hand for Oz business.

The environment minister, palachook, has knocked back the Regis Resources gold mine in western NSW because of secret Aboriginal business that she will not disclose, fooooken bitch.

And this from Adam Watson, APA Group CEO said today, 'It was likely Australia, one of the worlds largest gas exporters would have to import LNG after years of failing to bolster domestic supplies'.

Great country Oz, labor clowns in charge of the circus.

nonsense.

Plibersek told this masthead on Tuesday: “That’s nonsense. This is a small variation, but the big part of the project is approved.” She said the protected area was 400 out of 2500 hectares, and the company had the opportunity to find a new site.

If that is the case, it is squarely down to derelict state governments of various hues on the East Coast, over many years - not a 2-year-old Federal government.

WA sorted it out in 1979, under Premier Charlie Court, with a requirement that 15% of gas produced must be made available for domestic use in the state of WA.

Why didn't governments on the East Coast do the same as new gas resources came on stream in their respective states?

State government's haven't mandated that there will be no new oil and gas exploration permits. State governments aren't the ones that have ruled that only exploration permit applications that have already been submitted will be allowed to go ahead if approved by a federal agency. This is the federal agency that has dragged its feet for over six years before being revealed as not fit for purpose by the courts in 2023.

Even the exploration, development and investment foresight that has blessed the WA government since 1979 was no match for frivolous, state-supported court actions that threw an 18-month spanner in the works in 2022/23.

I mostly agee that the eastern states are a basket case but I fear their contagion is being allowed to spread.

Oh JS, you are not on top of this decision by plibachook. Regis Co. has said it could take another 2-5 yrs to find another suitable location. Why has the NSW Govt. the Aboriginal Orange land council, local councils, the EPA and Fed. agencies have given the green light to Regis and when it hit plibachooks desk, she single mindedly stopped the project because of secret voices from an unknown city dweller decided against it.

The local Aboriginal councils of the proposed area have publicly stated they had never heard of the whisperer and she was not a member of the local councils. This whisperer has a large group of 18 unknown backers, 19 people have stopped a project with a gold mine worth $1billion to the area. 19 people, what a joke. albosleazy has said he has no problem with the mine but will not tell plibachook to change her mind, bloody labor foooking the country.

[jackspratt]

Plibersek has different responsibilities, under completely different legislation, to the bodies you mention.

As you will see if you read the entire article I have linked below, a previous decision under the same legislation, to block a different development, was made by the former Liberal Minister, Susan Ley. Interestingly, the application was made by the same Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation (WTOCWAC), as in this current case.

What has Tanya Plibersek said?

The environment and water minister has hit back at “misinformation” about her decision. Plibersek has emphasised that the partial section 10 declaration is not a decision to block the mine from proceeding and relates to 400 hectares of the 2,500ha site.

She has also, correctly, stated that the project does not have universal support in the Blayney and Orange communities.

The specific advice Plibersek relied on to make her decision is not publicly available.

But she told a media conference: “There is plenty of information about the reasons for my decision, including the fact that this is an area where young men were brought for initiation. It’s been used for thousands of years. It’s significant because it’s got two creation stories associated with it.”

Plibersek said on Tuesday that Australian governments had done a bad job of protecting Aboriginal cultural heritage and “the Juukan Gorge tragedy was an extreme example of that”.

“Labor, Liberals, Nationals, everyone in the parliament said we can’t allow things like that to happen again,” she said.

“If we truly believe that we can’t allow the destruction of Aboriginal heritage in that way, then occasionally decisions like this have to be taken.”
https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... blua-river

The article also notes that, even before Plibersek's action, Regis had not committed to make a final decision whether to proceed with the gold mine prior to 2026. So they still have time to get their ducks in a row, and look for a new, and acceptable, site for their proposed tailings dam.

jackspratt you certainly know how to twist a story to suit your WA mind.

The east coast up until a few years ago did not export LNG gas. The east coast had a 100% use for domestic gas supply, no need for a mandate for any percentage to be kept onshore. So, our 100% domestic gas supplies from SA and Vic, were trunked around NSW, Qld and VIC by designated gas supply lines. No export so 100% domestic use.

The 15% you talk of had to be mandated by your premier to prevent the greedy Woodside from exporting all of the WA gas to Japan via LNG. It was only sheer luck that a domestic gas plant was provided on the Burrup peninsula about 1983/ 84 prior to the construction and commissioning of the first 2 Australian LNG trains in 1989. The domestic pipeline was to Perth and has since been tapped into by other suppliers down the coast to support the WA domestic scene.
So get off your WA high horse and submit the true facts. You would not have a LNG business unless the interstate construction team came over to build them for you.

Actually NSW, because of a predicted shortfall in Natural gas, will have an LNG regassification receival capacity for incoming LNG shipment very soon, it will be in Port Kembla very close to the latest gas fired power station on the NSW south coast down from Wollongong. I have heard that perhaps the Qld LNG plant may supply this LNG, but all incoming LNG, unless a long-term contract is in place, will be procured at spot prices from anyone.
