From the Condamine River to the Coral Sea, the LNP will globalise the intifada on freedom of speech.

I am with you. I am trying to encourage you to hone your skills. The paper you cited is a starting point for investigating the role of red meat in lifestyle disease. Alas, it is not evidence. Can you cite others?

Thank you. The summary indicates a correlation between red meat consumption and type2 diabetes, less so with poultry. Sorry to be picky, but correlation is not causation. I am with you on the animal welfare issues, but this study does not appear to correct for other lifestyle factors.

Can you provide references for your claim that the incidence of diabetes is linked to meat consumption?

Shooting the messenger still seems to be in fashion.

Done!

I've questioned my local councillors about their response to invitations to the CAM summit on "preventing antisemitism" September 3 to 5 on the Gold Coast. Most are not attending, citing family commitments rather than recognising the slippery situation it is.

Nicely said.

Jem Bendell has a few thoughts on this in "Breaking Together: A freedom-loving response to collapse"

If only there was some sort of online search engine or encyclopaedic website that she could consult.

Yep. Totally agree. I'm hooked.

The only upside, Flick, and it's our upside, is that we might be able to point to that bonfire, and ask why would you want Spud if that's what he's offering.

Wise words.

If (unthinkably) Peter Dutton is the answer

This is by far the best article I have read about how to resist Trump. It is also useful for those of us outside the US to help us resist our own homegrown oligarchs & their political surrogates newly emboldened by Trumpism. Please read. It’s both great & doable.

To the journos and storytellers out there: there is a fascinating tale in the battle of the independents in the electorate of Groom. #auspol #Ausnews

Potentially, the good news is that such a candidate would only last a term, if elected. The bad news is the potential damage to the "brand", imo.

I dunno Kent. If they are in the mold of Smith and Guy, they don't need any help with sabotage.

Depressingly accurate.

I was trying to articulate this possibility this morning. (I failed!)

Honestly, with this level of dysfunction, we are potentially very f*cked. It seems any legally constituted authority can be ignored. Those in positions of power do not/will not act except if it advantages them.

Thank you, Mr Dunt.
