China might have banned our Barley, our Wine, our Seafood, our Coal and other Australian exports.

But they are paying through their nose for our Iron Ore, currently at an eye watering $230 per tonne.

China is Risky Business at the moment.

They probably have no money left to buy the other exports. Our economy just got saved in a big way.

Latest Rankings for Australian Towns.

*** warning - use of both the s word and c word ***

https://vintageelectric.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/sht-towns-may-2021.jpg

#9 I have worked in Kalgoorlie-Boulder and I know from previous experience that some indigenous members of the Boulder community actually break back into jail because they get a warm bed and food. As a result of breaking back into jail with weed, the judge sentenced him back into society in Boulder and would not let him stay in jail.

In the sleepy town of Casino, once a year they have "Beef Week". It has it's own website, so it must be legit.

Australian Dash Cam

April 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdieBantCE

You can learn a lot about a country watching their dashcam videos.

In this case, you can learn how to say the 'F' word with an Australian accent.

Woman dies inside charity bin in Queensland:

https://7news.com.au/news/qld/woman-found-dead-in-gold-coast-charity-bin-was-not-homeless-police-believe-c-2518117

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-05/woman-found-dead-in-charity-bin-at-gold-coast-shopping-centre/100048692

It looks like she climbed into the bin to steal clothes and got trapped.

She died as a result of being stuck half way in and upside down in the clothes chute.

Stealing from charity bins is rife at the moment after the post COVID-stimulus ends forcing people to move house and dump clothes en-masse.

It has happened again, this time in Western Australia.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-06/body-believed-found-in-baldivis-bin-wa-police-investigating/100270080

https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/body-found-in-charity-bin-south-of-perth-20210706-p5877n.html

These charity clothing bins are designed so that people cannot steal from them. But woman are getting stuck in them whilst stealing clothes.

The risk of getting stuck and dying is obviously real.

Well this is simply catastrophic.

"Five children have died and four others remain in hospital after wind picked up a jumping castle and threw it into the air at an end-of-year activity day at a Tasmanian primary school."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-16/jumping-castle-hillcrest-primary-school-children-die/100704754

R.I.P. to the children and condolences to the families.

Mark McGowan announces that Western Australia will depart from the Commonwealth of Australia and become it's own country.

Westralia

https://youtu.be/kkSPlmaSC1A

"“My message to other states of Australia is very clear. To be honest with you I don’t like you,”

“And to be frank with you I’m tired of listening to their whinging. They never stop whinging.”


"We will be the biggest superpower in the world. Every family and every household and every person across WA will be required to respect my government.

"We will put a police officer on every single person in the state. People engaging in non-compliance will face consequences as harsh as humanly possible."

Australian political candidate buys Hitler's 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770 Grosser Offener Tourenwagen.



Drive.com.au

https://www.drive.com.au/news/clive-palmer-buys-adolf-hitlers-mercedes-benz-from-russian-billionaire-report/

Jerusalem Post

https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-699011

“I can’t get my head around this perversity. This is morally wrong and crosses many red lines that I stopped counting." He continued, calling on Palmer to "look into his heart and to think about" all those murdered by the Nazis.

Abramovich, adds that "the vehicle of this monster, the world’s biggest murderer of Jews, should not form part of any vintage car collection or a car museum. If it belongs anywhere, it should be housed in an educational institution that educates about the Holocaust"


DMarge

https://www.dmarge.com/2022/02/clive-palmer-hitler-car.html

"Some other dictators who either drove or were driven in the 770 include Italy’s Benito Mussolini, Portugal’s António Salazar, Romania’s Ion Antonescu and Spain’s Francisco Franco. Other high-ranking Nazis such as Hermann Göring, Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler also used the 770."

Strange purchase for Australian Senate candidate, Clive Palmer, who is suffering from COVID-19 in hospital.

Clive acquired the car this week from a Russian billionaire (who was short a few rubles).

The only explanation that makes sense to me is they didn't vet their graphic designers who then came up with this... and then somehow not a single bureaucrat or the responsible minister noticed? Must've been nothing but elderly white men in the chain of command... oh wait.

I don't see how you can't notice it, so that's why I think this is a "conspiracy." Maybe it wasn't noticed by some olds though. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

NSW is flooded. This is the second flooding this year, to my knowledge, and I don't see these not happening more and more. I don't know how Australia is going to, essentially, forcibly relocate all the buildings and infrastructure further inland, but the very thought sounds like a logistical nightmare for everyone involved. Which of course would be the entire country. Does Australia have any useful barriers?

Moving further inland wouldn't be the goal, moving river towns like Lismore out of the flood plains and up on the hills would be. I've got family up in the Northern Rivers and some of the scenes have been horrendous, something's definitely got to be done about Lismore, Coraki and Woodburn.

4 South Korean female backpackers in their 20's on a working holiday in QLD have pulled out in front of a semi-trailer near my friends farm in Stanthorpe.

They were T-boned at 110 km/hr from the side.

https://www.9news.com.au/national/new-england-highway-crash-fears-four-dead-near-stanthorpe-queensland/eec33835-e9c8-499e-b6ff-268b79867312

One of our family friends died near here in 1978 when his truck drove into a train with no level crossing at night. His son survived the accident magically.

R.I.P. young South Korean souls.
