Bombing using Tesla truck inadvertently demonstrates how occupants of EV’s can be tracked
https://dailysceptic.org/2025/01/04/teslas-ability-to-track-the-cybertruck-bomber-points-to-an-orwellian-future-for-motorists/
I dare say this tracking can be extended to many modern cars which rely on computers so much.
160
All modern cars are or can be traced and tracked.
Even without tracing and tracking, accelerometers and speed sensors even in older cars as long as they have ECUs and air bags record the last few seconds or so of data before a crash. That data can be used (or misused) by police and/or insurance companies.
I would like to see a car that doesn’t explicitly trace and track you. If you have not committed a crime, Big Brother has no moral right to trace, track or spy on you.
Of course, everyone is traced and tracked by Big Brother if they carry a phone, even if it’s turned off for certain models if has a UWB (ultra wide band) chip. Power still goes to the chip even if the phone is “off”. If you don’t want it tracked, wrap it in aluminium foil…
I wrote an article about tracking devices and methodologies.

And Australia being one of the countries most aspirational for a PRC Chinese-style dictatorship has a national facial recognition database so even without a phone, you can still be traced and tracked using any camera that can see you.
And traffic and other cameras can record and report your car registration plate which works well until you have a car stolen then police won’t do anything about it.
210
Even Bunnings have facial recognition cameras.

Our Aldi car park has a boom entrance and it records the car registration. It has to recognise your car to raise the boom to exit. It probably times your stay as well to prevent people parking all day.
80
At our Aldi your car is recorded when parking, then you have to enter the car number when you leave the checkout otherwise you firstly get a rude letter and then they may give you a penalty charge if you repeat parking without shopping at the store.
They give you 90 minutes to do your shopping in the store.
I think this has been introduced, as you say, to stop people parking all day as the Aldi store is in easy walking distance of the town centre and offices.
70
That an easy fix.
Either don’t go to those stores that restrict parking to buying customers, or order online and have it delivered.
41
Or remove the barrier?
Don’t you have spanners at home?
AFAF. Obviously.
00
Joe,
Another easy fix is to shop at these stores. Then they won’t charge you for parking in *THEIR* lot.
30
Our Aldi just has a car park. You park, you walk in, you shop. Very low tech.
10
Our local Aldi shares a strip mall (hard to access) parking lot as well as a nearby Maccas. For some reason I do not check out their specials very often. I try to ensure that about a third of my Woolies and Coles are Sale items. Nearly everything will come on sale over a two month cycle.
00
Shopping car parks use companies that drive around with number plate recognition systems, to identify folks that park there all day and use public transport into the CBD.
00
Well, trace this one………LOL

I recall seeing one of the cars used in the movie when it came to Australia. Big lever on the side with small markings that revealed it was connected to an auto transmission.
00
Decades ago when Townsville’s mall was new or refurbished or something a [Brisbane] mall to [Townsville] mall event was organised and that car showed up in town. I don’t recall if anyone asked if it actually drove the distance.
00
Most buses and trains are now fitted with tracking and monitoring systems that record where they are, speed changes over their routes, and any sudden applications of brakes. This data helps the mechanical teams with their vehicle maintenance. The drivers love the security monitoring as it helps to dispel the many false accusations that they have to endure.

…and heavy trucks.

UK failed to diagnose a million cancer cases during covid
https://dailysceptic.org/2025/01/04/one-million-cancer-cases-missed-during-covid-lockdowns/
As Australia locked down harder than the UK I dare say that the number of missed cancer cases is higher in Oz than here
180
Did they?
“Researchers said lockdown restrictions and pressures on healthcare systems saw diagnoses of the disease drop by 23% globally, suggesting it was not identified in around one million people.”
The “global” 23% decline suggested 1m people not identified…. globally or did they apply 23% to the UK figures to get 1m and didn’t see the need to clarify the relationship global/UK centric contained in the single sentence.
Toward the end of the article there are some UK specific figures for 4 cancers and they add up to 62k.
As usual with “official figures” for covid there is plenty of smoke and mirrors so, like weather forecasts, the information really is just best guess stuff. While acceptable for weather this is not acceptable for deaths since they are reporting after the event and the evidence (it’s raining dead people) is physically at hand. But that is the aim of the reports hence why so much has recently come out about diets, cooking oil and life style being the cause of the cancers.
40
Was the outcome better or worse for most of the people?
We like to assume that detection and treatment is positive. Watching people go through the process , I wonder at times.

Quite a bust up between Elon Musk and Nigel Farage
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14251957/Elon-Musk-Nigel-Farage-REMOVED-leader-Reform.html
It was just yesterday that the media was full of their bromance and that Musk was likely to donate $100 million dollars to the Reform party.
80
That’s very sad. But I think Farage has made a huge error in not supporting the political prisoner Tommy Robinson whose only “crime” was exposing crimes against girls that the UK police, Tories and Labour had refused to investigate and covered up for many decades, at least since the 1970’s. These crimes weren’t investigated because it was deemed “racist” to do so but that wouldn’t and didn’t stop them investigating crimes by any other demographic, nor should it.
There is something particularly evil about the failure to prosecute these crimes just because they didn’t want to be accused of being “racist”. It has nothing to do with race or whether the perpetrator thinks its a crime according to their imported religion or culture or not. A crime under UK law is a crime. Even though these crimes have been known and ignored for years, it’s tragic that no one in the UK (with few exceptions including Tommy) was prepared to reveal them and demand prosecution and it took the American Elon Musk to do so.
In Australia, our pro-freedom Senator Babet (UAP for Victoria) has asked the UK Government for permission to visit the political prisoner Tommy Robinson. Sadly all his visitors are being asked to sign gag orders. And why is that? And how is that compatible with democracy and accountability?
Free Tommy!
501
Farage has made a very smart move which demonstrates that he is much more moderate than the far left claim. Do not waste your sympathy on Robinson who has had a violent past for 20 years. The crimes were investigated and people convicted. Arguably-as Reform want-it needs deeper investigation and the reasons for organisations being too frightened of being called racist to call out the gangs brought into the open
Robinson is far far right and no political party could endorse him and retain their credibility.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/tommy-robinson-why-does-elon-193000773.html
Musk is not that popular here either, slandering a British rescue worker a few years ago when a dozen young boys were trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand.
If Farage had supported Musks calls to set Robinson free he would be finished as a political leader and Reforms support would collapse.
1824
I don’t know what you mean by “far far right”.
It is a term so overused by the enemies of freedom as to be meaningless.
He is certainly not a racist if that’s what you are getting at.
All he wanted was justice for the girls that were criminally violated by an identifiable demographic and for whom there was no proper investigation because police and Government were terrified of being accused of being called “racist” by that same demographic. It has nothing to do with any sort of “phobia”.
And I think he has mostly been very unfairly treated by the courts and Lamestream Media.
I strongly recommend people watch Robinson’s documentary.

My take on the sordid episode was that the police did not want to appear anti-Muslim but in doing so failed to protect the victims which in my view is criminal. Those girls were sorely abused by gangs of grown men. I can’t imagine the fear of those poor kids as they were raped. The police seem to have had no sympathy for the victims until the crimes were brought into the light by people like Tommy who were brave enough to speak out. In speaking out they were them vilified as racist rather than praised for highlighting a crime and the wokeness of the police.
260
No, that is not ‘all he wanted’ he has a long history of violence and other unlawful activities. No respectable party could possibly welcome him into their party.
816
Well, that is reassuring to know that if TR stood and got elected his vote would not be courted by the parties.
I guess with these high standards already in place when the sniff of corruption by any member filters through the corridors the member’s party would jump on it straight away. You know the way they are handling the current stench of a King’s Cross flat that was gifted as an “act of gratitude” from a developer and not bought with the proceeds of the parents selling their family home – a story that had been the go-to explanation (until recently) when questions first started to be asked years (365 x ?) ago. Funny the same waft source is the one that failed to declare rental income from a second property for 14 months…
Oh, and when it comes to property who can forget the quick and decisive action taken with that member of parliament who forgot where she lived (apparently with her boyfriend of the time and not the house she owned) meaning that when she sold it as her primary residence tax penalties did not apply.
50
>Robinson is far far right and no political party could endorse him and retain their credibility.
Yet Elon Musk’s father is seriously and enthusiastically promoting the idea of Tommy Robinson as UK PM.

I wouldn’t call TR far right at all, he’s simply anti Islam but pro-immigration, he is no white ethnonationalist at all. The true far right ethno gang loathe TR with a passion, slandering him as a “Zionist shill” like they do Trump (and they’re actually left-wing socialists, in love with the German guy).
But you’re right, he has no place in politics. Though both civic nationalists, Farage and he have had a long-standing feud. Farage is a sensible pragmatist, a more professional politician. He has been accused of being TR since early UKIP days and so he argues against this case, rightfully so. He realises TR’s approach will see you in political minnows’ territory. TR is like an annoying March Fly to him that won’t go away, that he wants nothing to do with.
TR annoys me by not being able to see this, that he is an activist, and he should leave the politics to people with genuine skills. He also looks for trouble does Tommy, I think he has a psychological condition for it. He knows what he is doing on a couple of times he has been sent to prison, knowingly breaking conditions put on him, whether just or not, he is aware and breaks them. Including this latest one.
My opinion is I agree with TR, accepting mass Islam into England has been a massive mistake that my limited ability with words can’t describe adequately, and I understand his outrage and appreciate his courage and sacrifice. But if you want to stop it and change course, it is Farage who has the skills.
Elon is a good guy it seems, but he is also an amateur in politics and should learn to zip the lip a bit more, though I like his overall new direction and activism.

Couple of links about this case.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/04/grooming-gangs-scandal-cover-up-oldham-telford-rotherham/
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-rotherham-cover-up/
Not sure that all the perpetrators have been convicted. Looks as if some people in the police, local authorities – and possibly Parliament – were ‘in the know’, but reacted against investigation, seemingly to ‘keep the peace’ – whilst 12-year-olds were being gang-raped. We have looked askance at India – but the same has occurred in many UK cities.
Mr. Robinson is, I agree, not a very lovely individual, even if he has indeed tried to raise these crimes in a way that the perpetrators and coverers-up are pursued.
It certainly seems a very considerable – and indelible – stain on the UK, that [some] people in power covered up some pretty foul abuse of vulnerable children seemingly to avoid ‘race riots’.
An ugly business.

Tonyb, I read the comments on the article and most would agree with you.

“The crimes were investigated and people convicted.”
What crimes are you referring to Tony? If you are referring to the grooming gangs, then information continually coming out suggests the exact opposite. There were some convicted but it would appear those convictions was just scratching the surface of the issue.
111
Not a bust-up and quite expected. One is a politician and one isn’t, and as long as we have this crappy system called democracy there will always be a gulf between those who actually make things for a living, and those who lie for a living.
There are no morals, ethics or honesty in politics, anyone with those will never get elected.
120
Political nihilism maybe, but the anarchists offer little in return. Is there a party platform or visionary manifesto?
01
“Is there a party platform or visionary manifesto?”
Well, if you insist on keeping a Govt, just appoint people to Govt by raffle. That will dilute the would-be dictators to a powerless amount and fill parliament with real people. Hopefully nothing would get achieved and we could all get on with building the country.
00
Elon is smart, very smart. He is up there with the 1% of the elites that have enormous power, the power of money and mass information dissemination, control of the narrative in his hands. He like his fellow “elites” want to be the top “controller” over all others and vie with each other for that unholy grail. Anybody who is an asset in this quest will be cajoled, have their ego stroked with financial support. If a genuine outsider enters the game with popular support from the plebs he will be used for as long as he is of use, enjoying the glow of the publicity boosting his ego. However, should that person of the people look like they may gain a position of political office and not toe the line of the master they shall be crushed, at first by a subtle shift and if this is not successful then more explicit means will be used. Elon’s goal is to be on top of the pyramid, and to achieve this he will use anybody he perceives may help and when no longer useful throw them away, even Trump. Mark my words.

Australia has its worst governments, federal and state, in the history of Australia. Mostly Labor.
They are passing some of Australia’s worst laws and taxes, ever.
If the fake conservative Liberals win Government do you think they’ll reverse these things?
I have no confidence that they will.
They’ll just pile new laws and taxes higher and deeper, although at a slightly slower rate than Labor does.

The price for removing Scott Morrison was Anthony Albanese. It had to be done, but the real problem is that the political scene is now so toxic (thank you, America) that decent people tend not to go into politics and those who do don’t get to the top. We need politicians who work for the people but we get politicians who just want power for themselves.
250
“we get politicians who just want power for themselves.”
…That’s the complete definition of a politician. Why would anyone bother with the slimy swamp in Parliament if they weren’t driven by a lust for personal power over others.

Living costs pain lingers for longer
New analysis reveals Australia’s decade of lost living standards won’t be recovered until at least 2030, as one of the country’s leading economists warns: ‘We won’t get our living standards back until we get our courage back.’
SIMON BENSON
Fresh analysis of the government’s mid-year economic and fiscal outlook released in late December shows that per-capita living standards won’t recover from pre 2021-22 levels until at least the 2029-30 financial year.
The revelations comes as leading economist Chris Richardson blamed a lack of bipartisanship over productivity reform, warning: “We won’t get our living standards back until we get our courage back.”
The Coalition projections are based on Treasury’s forecasts to 2026-27 and highlight that the damage inflicted by inflation and interest rates on per-capita living standards, based on household disposable income and population growth, would be long-lasting despite a turnaround in conditions.
The Coalition’s economic analysis of Treasury forecasts, based on the trajectory of MYEFO assumptions, shows the cumulative impact on households of the current cost-of-living crisis would have spanned almost a decade. The assumptions are based on Treasury’s future real household disposable income growth and its own population forecasts.
With both the Coalition and Labor pitted in a pre-election contest over economic management, Jim Chalmers last week called for optimism that the worst of the crisis was behind the nation.

Reform-era gains being lost will be hard to recover
Sleepwalking into a less prosperous future that doesn’t have to be.
The Australian EDITORIAL
Until the pandemic hit, Australia was held up internationally as an exemplar of what good policy and macro-economic reform could deliver.
A decades-long run of economic growth produced a generation that did not know the tough times that came with economic recession. The reform push started with the floating of the dollar under Bob Hawke and continued through hard-won changes to the waterfront and workplace under John Howard. The changes allowed today’s big revenue drivers, including iron ore, natural gas and coal, to harness the historic boom that accompanied the rise of China as it brought millions of people out of poverty.
Now things have changed. We may have seen the peak in our resources-led terms of trade, and economic and workplace flexibility are back in decline.
Even if the national economy has not been in recession technically, at a household level the difficulties being experienced are more challenging than at any other time in the past half century. Analysis of official government statistics, revealed by The Australian in 2024, shows the current cost-of-living crisis has hit households twice as hard as the 1990-91 and 1982-83 recessions, and significantly more sharply than in any period dating back to 1959.
It also reveals living standards in Australia during the current inflation crisis have fallen more dramatically than in any other OECD country, with the hit to Australian households worse than in almost all comparable developed nations.
40
And opposition Treasury spokesman Angus Taylor gets the analysis right when he says the Albanese government is taking the wrong approach.
Put crudely, Mr Taylor says for Labor governments, rent-seeking lobbyists and Canberra bureaucrats, an economic downturn is an excuse to spend taxpayers’ money on pet projects to boost demand.
Most economists, including at the International Monetary Fund and Reserve Bank, have pointed to increases in government spending as making Australia’s inflation and interest rate challenge worse.
Labor’s profligacy is draining our sources of prosperity and talent
ANGUS TAYLOR
It is a new year but it is clear Australia is still headed in the wrong direction.
In just 2½ years, our economy has hit the wall. This is remarkable speed on any reckoning.
No amount of spin or unfounded optimism from Jim Chalmers will restore our prosperity without a change in direction. But the good news is there is a better way. We know that because we’ve seen it before.
Households and small businesses are under unprecedented stress. Rising prices and interest rates and income tax payment have outpaced incomes, shattering our standard of living. Small businesses are in a financial crush with a deadly combination of reluctant customers and rising costs.
The collapse in Australian household disposable incomes is unprecedented and unparalleled by any peer countries. For the first time we have seen seven consecutive quarters of household recession. The Albanese Labor government has no pathway to dig us out of this hole. Indeed, on its own failed economic plan, the lost disposable income won’t be restored until the end of the decade.
Worse, the International Monetary Fund has warned there is real risk of inflation and interest rates staying higher for longer without genuine fiscal discipline.

Government departments spend $452,953 over two years on Welcome to Country ceremonies
Australian taxpayers have spent close to $500,000 on Welcome to Country ceremonies at official government events over the past two years in a bid to “demonstrate respect” to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Oscar Godsell Political Reporter
The government has spent close to half a million dollars on Welcome to Country ceremonies over the last two years according to newly released data.
The documents revealed that government agencies splashed $452,953 in taxpayer money over the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 financial years.
The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone spent $41,801 on 33 Welcome to Country ceremonies.
At an average of approximately $1,266 per ceremony, and with each ceremony lasting about five to 15 minutes, the cost amounts to about $100 per minute for an Aboriginal representative to welcome visitors to the land.
70
My memory of “welcome to country” was a creation by Ernie Dingo to mirror the terrifying village challenge of the Maoris who were settled peoples and had a warning ritual for approaching strangers or a welcome. To the village. As such Ernie’s routine was fake but entertaining. But it has been perverted from a welcome or a recognition of history past to even a welcome to a new integrated Australia but it is inflicted routinely on Australian citizens? Especially when aborigines have had nothing to do with the event.
It certainly makes no sense to welcome 100,000 Australians to a game of cricket at the MCG to their own country. Including the aborigines in the crowd. A welcome certainly or a recognition of aboriginal past.
But as a ‘welcome to country’ it’s entirely fake and worse, utterly inappropriate and becoming quite insulting to the people attending. Even so it is taken as a bit of fun, except that it is now part of a push for recognition of the part of aborigines in building Australia to where it is today. Except that’s not true either. Given the new militarism which is seeing many parts of Australia being placed off limits to Australians, it is very divisive.
As for lauding aboriginal elders past, present and future? How do you praise people who are not born. And what actually have aborigines done to build the place? This is past a simple and entertaining idea. It is now an extortion ritual for merit not earned and and a demand to split Australians into racial groups, which was never the idea in the first place. Why not a welcome to Cornwall, or a Scottish pipe band or a Welsh choir or Irish Jig? Or perhaps a bit of Bollywood if we are hosting the Indian team?
100
I live in the country and we welcome visitors sincerely without having to conduct a fake ritual about it all the time, or even any time, (except for official occasions, and only public servant types like attending those).
I go to the city once a week but I’ve never yet witnessed a Welcome To City Ceremony. If I attend a function in the city, they don’t have their own ceremony so they have to fall back on the Welcome to Country. What’s wrong with you city folk? Do we have to write to Ernie Dingo and get him to invent a fake Welcome to City Ceremony for you?

‘They’ve lost hope’: One in three young Australians believe they will rent for life as national housing crisis deepens
A new survey has revealed that more than one in three young people believe they will be renters for life as millions of Australians have been priced out of the property market.
Oscar Godsell – Political Reporter
The findings were revealed on Sunday according to the latest Big Youth Survey by Australian EdTech organisation Year13.
The survey, which polled 18-24-year-olds, painted a grim picture of the housing crisis, with 36 per cent of respondents believing homeownership was out of reach.
The growing belief that renting will be a permanent option has reflected the soaring costs of housing across major Australian cities.
The median dwelling value in Sydney has stood at $1,190,000 while Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra have sat in the $800,000-$900,000 range.
Tough economic conditions, marked by high interest rates and price pressures, have limited Aussies’ buying power and left many without hope of ever owning their home.

AUSTRALIA IN TROUBLE: Panic as Aussie dollar crashes to five-year low
Experts have warned that the Australian dollar could continue to plummet even further after falling sharply to a near-five-year low.
The AUD hit 61.84 US cents during Thursday morning’s trading – a dip not seen since April 7, 2020, when it hit 61.85 US cents – but has since risen slightly to 61.89 cents.
At the same time, the AUD has also fallen against the pound, buying just 0.49 British pence.
More and more experts are now predicting the Aussie dollar will soon sink to 60 US cents and below, with Macquarie Bank Ltd Singapore foreign exchange and rates strategist Gareth Berry telling Bloomberg that “A slide all the way to 60 cents is conceivable in the risk case where US equities take fright at an unfolding global trade war, China’s fiscal counter-stimulus is inadequate, and the RBA is forced to cut quickly to lend support”.
Meanwhile, Westpac’s head of foreign exchange strategy Richard Franulovich told the publication there were signs the RBA could potentially cut interest rates at its February meeting, claiming the minutes from the RBA’s December meeting hinted it could soon be “relaxing the degree of monetary policy tightness”.

Not even unexpected.. We have all the helicopter money since the 2008 crash where the can was kicked down the road to now, the helicopter money from covid when everyone was given cash for not working, and the usual Govt splash the cash system that ensures their mates or possible voters get rich…
All that was never wealth, it was fiat paper with no value that ruined the true value of the currency. That all has to be worked through and the devalued dollar at the end of it is what we get to work with.
You could try stopping all Govt from borrowing money… That would focus people’s concentration on what their living standard really is!

Australia has its worst governments, federal and state, in the history of Australia. Mostly Labor.
The NSW economic figure at its worst level since 1991
NSW is stuck in the two slowest years of economic growth for the state in more than three decades as cost-of-living pressures continue to sap consumer spending in 2025.
The NSW government says the economy will expand by just 0.75 per cent in the year to June 2025 – a major downgrade compared with the 2 per cent growth predicted only six months ago.
That forecast, in the latest half-yearly budget review, means NSW economic growth this financial year will be the worst since 1991, outside the unique disruptions of the COVID-19 crisis.
It follows a sluggish 1.2 per cent expansion in 2023-24. The last time NSW had consecutive years of lower growth was in the early 1990s as Australia recovered from the deep recession at the beginning of that decade.
“Economic growth is expected to be positive, but weak, in the near term,” said the budget review released late last month.
The hit to household budgets caused by elevated inflation and higher interest rates has been a key factor in the slowdown. Indicators of consumption in NSW have barely grown over the past year even though population growth has been strong.
Westpac warns NSW’s “economic engine” is running low on fuel.

Kia: Electric-car sales slowdown ‘a struggle’ amid looming emissions rules
Kia Australia has acknowledged selling electric cars to the general public – not just early adopters – is a “slow burn”, as EV demand cools months before the government begins tracking the CO2 emissions of new vehicles sold.
Car makers have hit the ‘limit’ of early-adopter customers to buy their electric vehicles (EVs), the boss of Kia Australia has acknowledged, amid cooling demand for battery-powered cars.
Kia Australia CEO Damien Meredith told local media the slowdown is “a struggle”, given emissions standards due next year will push car makers to sell more hybrid and electric cars to offset sales of high-emissions vehicles and avoid government fines.
Sales of electric cars are still up 3.1 per cent so far in 2024, but since the middle of the year they are down 12 per cent, and last month recorded a 24 per cent decline.
Market leader Tesla last month recorded a 36 per cent sales slump, while Kia electric-car sales are up 24 per cent – though the EV6 and Niro, its only EVs on sale for the entirety of 2023, are down 5 per cent in 2024.
“It’s a tough situation,” Meredith told media in regards to the EV slowdown.
“But there’s variables in play where we’ve got to sell more EVs, that’s a fact of life with NVES [New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, the government’s CO2 emissions rules].
“So maybe other manufacturers are trying to talk up that portion of the market, but the fact of the matter is, we look at it that we’ve got to basically sell, in percentage terms, double what we’re doing at the moment to meet our requirement for NVES.
21
Wonder what actual percentage of cars are now EVs. Last I heard was only 8.7%.
20
One issue EV manufacturers have but don’t talk about is the a high percentage of ICE cars that have reached traditional replacement age but are still very good cars. My 14 yr old Toyota is still nearly perfect. It has the safety features I consider mandatory but it isn’t in constant contact with Toyota.
Most days my car sits in the garage but it has still done 36,000 miles. The reason I converted back to the old money is because a grey motor Holden would most definitely have had a valve grind by then [abt 25k miles] and it would be getting smokey. The body would be rusted out anyway so it would be junked.
I would replace my Hybrid battery if it were to fail rather than buy a new car, especially an EV, today.

The True Rate of Inflation
There have been many comments recently about the true inflation rate in Australia (not the one claimed by Canberra).
As a retired couple we have kept a budget and records of our spending under many categories over many years.
Reviewing the last three years (since Labor came to government) we have now evaluated the year by year increases in expense in over 20 budget categories including:
• Groceries
• Petrol
• Medical/optical/dental
• Car service and insurance
• Dining out
• Electricity
• Home and contents insurance
The increases in total expense over those three years shows an average rate of increase of 14% per annum.
This is the true rate of inflation we are all experiencing. Thanks a lot Labor Government.
So much for the ‘official’ rate of inflation of 3.5% quoted by the politicians in Canberra!
The highest rates of increase have been in groceries, insurance, petrol, medical and dining out.

Can the US escape from the wind drought trap?
The US is only one Democrat administration away from taking the plunge that has happened in Germany and Britain. They are in the jaws of the wind drought trap and it is up to the Trump administration to get them out.
The power crisis in Texas in February 2021 was a taste of things to come when a bitter cold spell and low winds overnight caused a partial blackout of the state. The inadequately winterised gas supply underperformed and a complete blackout was only narrowly averted, possibly due to some coal and nuclear capacity. Hundreds died and a complete blackout could have killed many thousands.
That is the way things are going in all the grids in the US and every other system in the world where net zero policies are in place.
The root of the problem is the failure of the meteorologists to issue wind drought warnings. It was left to unofficial observers in Australia to find them over a decade ago. This was reported on this blog but the news didn’t travel.
Subsidised and mandated wind and solar power displace but can’t replace it.
The trap takes some years to set and there is a “frog in the saucepan” effect because conventional power retires in small steps and that does not cause problems in the early years while there is spare capacity. The trap only causes public alarm when it is too late, as we see in Britain and Germany.
The trap closes when the conventional power capacity (traditionally dominated by coal) declines to a critical point, a “tipping point” where there is not enough to meet the base load overnight. Then the grid is in a “red zone” where windless nights are potentially lethal because there is no wind or solar generation, regardless of the amount of installed capacity.
https://newcatallaxy.blog/2023/07/11/approaching-the-tipping-point/

“The root of the problem is the failure of the meteorologists to issue wind drought warnings.”. Agreed. If the meteorogists cannot warn us in time for us to build a new coal fired power station then they aren’t doing their job properly.

There is a back-story from discussions in logic that begins with “All swans are white.”

For some time I have updated the monthly “pause” in the style of Viscount Monckton for UAH anomaly temperatures over Australia.
During 2024, there was a prominent high, positive temperature peak whose cause is still being researched. In some ways it has features unlike previous peak features.
A dominant peak like this ends any earlier pause, with the pause being defined in this monthly time series as the duration from the present, back to the month when the longest linear best fit always has a negative value, that it, it has been cooling since then, during the pause.
Because the present new pause that has now started lasts for only 5 months and will not grow faster than one month at a time for the time being, there is little point in continuing this calculation. I might revive it in 2 years if a pause seems to be developing.

I exchanged quite a few emails with Christopher Monckton. I pointed out that pushing a pause was bound to reach a dead end because the trend is up. This is particularly so in the Northern Hemisphere but Australia also has a warming trend on average.
The only region of the globe with a cooling trend is the Southern Ocean and maybe Antarctica. This is due to the precession cycle shifting the peak solar intensity northward and the Southern Ocean not being influenced much by what happens in the NH.
The most significant trend globally is increasing atmospheric water. That means the atmosphere contains more heat and provides greater thermal inertia. This also applies to Australia. So if you look at Australio, you find that the temperature anomalies are trending up due to the minimums going up rather than maximums going up.
So what does “warming” mean. Should we consider higher minimums as hot or just a bit more pleasant?.
How many new maximum temperature records were set across Australia in 2024? You would expect hundreds given that it was the warmest year on record.
Mildura is one of the hottest places in Victoria. January is the hottest month with a daily record of 46.9C. In 2024 the hottest January day was 39.9C. Cobar is a warm spot in NSW. Hottest evah 47C but was 41.6C in 2024. Marble Bar is known as the hottest spot in Australia holding a record of 49.2C. In 2024 is reached 47.9C.
Anomolies are something promoted by climate alarmists to make something out of nothing. Is it really a bad outcome to have higher July minimum in Australia?
Most people are probably more aware of the increasing humidity rather than any higher temperature. The humidity narrows the temperature range,. The felt experience for many is more oppressive despite the temperature not being higher. It also means evaporative coolers are less effective.

Tracking? Already here.
Integrated “attitude adjustment”? Probably already in place.
Ayn Rand had a bit to say in “Atlas Shrugged”.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

This is a letter I had published in the Herald Sun 25th July, 2017.
There are moves to institute fixed four year terms for Federal Parliament. This might sound reasonable in principle but we have to consider the current crop of mostly useless, incompetent and anti-Australian idiots we have. The strategy must be that of harm reduction. How can we minimise the harm done to Australia and Australians by politicians? The answer comes from politicians themselves on the few occasions they aren’t lying. They say that longer fixed terms will enable them to achieve their “objectives”. Since their objectives are mostly harmful, let’s keep the current arrangement.
333
A common mistake, the population generally holds a common objective. This objective is represented by the Constitution. Occasionally the electors may require their representative to advocate for a change in that objective. This is rare and can easily be achieved in a two year term.
I continue to advocate that our Politicians should only sit a 2 year term and should be compensated for the time they actually spend in Parliament, not paid as if they have a career.
Professional Politicians are the death of Democracy!
110
If the pressure to extend out to four years continues, then we, as a quid pro quo, they give us citizens-initiated referendums, and right of recall on all or individual politicians. Then let us see them change their minds.
70
The problem is that these “objectives” are hidden from us until they are elected.

Willis Eschenbach has an interesting post at WUWT about the last 4 years of the results of the Covid challenge and the vaccines.
He’s used the Perplexity AI tool and he was very impressed, so I thought I’d try it out and asked about deaths from extreme weather events since 1900 to 2023.
I had 3 attempts and I’m fairly satisfied with the results. The answer at the last attempt also included the fact that deaths from extreme weather today only resulted in 0.07% of total global deaths and many more billions of people at risk today.
Deaths from drought today have dropped by 99.9% since the 1920s and also a large drop in flood deaths etc. And less than 2 billion people in 1920 and only 2.5 billion by 1950 and 3 billion by 1960.
IOW we are living in the safest period in Human history. So when will our pollies and so called scientists wake up?

China copies Australia’s “Metal Storm”
What could be the most powerful machine gun in human history is being developed by Chinese scientists and engineers.
This weapon consists of five or more barrels, with each barrel capable of firing bullets at a rate of 450,000 rounds per minute. The resulting barrage has an unprecedented density, capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles travelling at speeds exceeding Mach 7.
In comparison, the maximum firing rate of the US military’s most powerful Phalanx system is only 4,500 rounds per minute.
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3293109/chinas-metal-storm-weapon-can-fire-millions-rounds-minute-project-scientists
Of course Metal Storm was a Qld based arms manufacturer, famous for its 1 million round a minute fire rate, that went into administration back in 2012.
Ammo ain’t cheap, even on Albo’s exhorbitant salary.😉
61
How will they handle the heat of combustion?
And the barrels must be short to allow each bullet to exit before the next one ignites.
30
I believe that Metal Storm tried to interest both Australia and the US in this system and were rebuffed.
It works not only as a machine gun but with other systems as well. The multiple grenade launcher was my favourite.
30
Didn’t Metalstorm sell out to the Yanks? I’ve seen videos of the US Mil developing the same machine guns as talked about here.

A problem with Metal Storm was that the pre-loaded barrels had to be returned to the factory for reloading. Not an ideal logistical situation for the military.
21
” The resulting barrage has an unprecedented density, capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles travelling at speeds exceeding Mach 7.”
They may well “intercept” but at close range meaning probably an imperceptible change in outcomes.
Anyone who has handled crates of ammunition can tell you what a meaningless number 460,000 rounds pm is in practical terms.

My son queried the WA gas exports, saying that a group, “affordable energy alliance.org” has been publishing articles on its website about so-called “dodgy deals” with the WA state govt.

A similar bias is directed at mining.
Basically, this goes, mining is just digging a hole in the ground – which any fool with a shovel can do.
Against my experienced judgement, I agreed to an interview once with a young journo from a large regional newspaper. The ostensible topic was the use of satellite phones in the mining industry.
Her lack of understanding showed up when she said: “Why haven’t you formed your own drilling company ?” The implication was that geologists were too chicken to take such a risk.
She went completely silent when I quietly pointed out that there are many drilling companies around, but they don’t know where to drill. That issue had just never occurred to her.
40
A highly regarded CEO of a mid size mining company in Australia pointed out to me that the prime R&D in the mining industry should focus on methods to find prospective ground.
One of the ore bodies his company developed in the 1980’s was originally identified as a magnetic anomaly. I think the first to ever be found that way.
00
Thing is you can mine all you like (and fully recognise the effort and skils needed to get to a working mine) but at the end of the day your country is just a quarry unless you know what to do with what you extract.
A current example is the US stressing about sources of enriched Uranium. Gee I wonder what friendly country might be well placed to enrich Uranium? Will we? What do you reckon?

My first job was on a sugar plantation in the time of manual cane cutting. This company had 5,000 acres of cane iirc when an individual farmer could make a living on 50 acres. Having their own mill they could experiment with mechanisation and mill poor quality product without penalty.
They first started replicating hand cutting methods but eventually developed the technique of cutting into billets and blowing them into a bin. The harvesters and bins have improved but the technique developed in Bundaberg [This company also made a famous rum] remains. That is why Toft Harvesters were made in Bundaberg. Did the Jabiru Aircraft mob choose Bundaberg because of the skilled workforce?
“Anyone” would have brought in more Italians to cut by hand. “Farmers” changed the world.
Note: The Italians worked hard and bought the farms. Their culture is still rich in cane towns.

NB Heard 2nd/3rd hand which supposedly originally came from a source associated with the industry so time only will tell. Suggestion is bird flu vaccinations will be required to visit nursing/rest homes by end of January in Australia. Do not know if national rollout or state based but if accurate will know soon enough.

Gosh I’m starting to enjoy the Perplexity AI answers and it seems to have little trouble finding the facts or the truth in just a few seconds.
“Based on the search results, we can provide the following information about Africa’s population for the years requested:”
“1900: The exact population for 1900 is not provided in the search results. However, we can estimate it was between 100-150 million based on the data showing 74.2 million in 1820 and 124.7 million in 1913”.
“1950: The population of Africa in 1950 was approximately 228.3 million”.
“2000: The population of Africa in 2000 was about 810 million”.
“2023: The population of Africa in 2023 was 1,460,481 million”.
“This data shows a significant increase in Africa’s population over the past century, with particularly rapid growth in recent decades. The population has nearly doubled since 2000 and increased more than six-fold since 1950”.
BTW the P tool also tells the truth about Africa’s rapid increase in life expectancy since 1950, since 2000 and today in 2023.
So a six fold increase in population since 1950 and just 36 years life expectancy then and yet today 64.1 years in 2023.
This takes just a few seconds to tell us the truth and yet we’re also told that the poorest continent will soon suffer the most from their CC BS and FRA-D.
So how long before we wake up to the liars and con merchants?

I asked it to “write a 200 word article about eggs but leave the “e” out of every word – just for fun. Interestingly enough it made a number of spelling mistakes:
“From scrmbl to poachs, fri to boild, ggs can b prpard in countlss ways. Thy ar a stapl in baking, providing structur and richns to caks, pastris, and brads.”
Note “poachs, fri to boild,” whereas “poached (not poaches), fried (not frie) to boiled” would have been original wording so “s” substituted for “d” which dropped completely from “fried”.
“Th yolk is particularly rich in lutiin and zaxanthin, which support y hlth.”
Lutein is found in the yolk – dropped the e but added an “i” while rest of sentence is a bad miss if “support your health” is what it tried to convey.
Obviously AI can’t handle whacky/out of the ordinary so maybe explains why this one at least doesn’t appear to be woke……. yet

On weather forcasting, I gave up on the BOM for my bike rides. Often completely wrong.
A Norwegian site gives a far better picture. I assume they use the same data.
However next Sunday, the BOM predicts 1mm.
The Norwegian site predicts 13mm!
Update. BOM has just jumped to 6mm.
I have cancelled rides with 90% BOM predictions of large rainfall in Melbourne to find zero rainfall anywhere in Melbourne, which is a very large city. Sunday will be interesting. I can only assume the BOM will keep changing the forecast every day as we get closer. So much for supercomputers.
This is not about Climate. This is about getting the weather right in six days. Which seems very difficult for the BOM. So it’s back to auspices for me or trust the Norwegians.
80
Here is how you forecast the weather.
Wake up in the morning and look outside.
If it is raining, forecast rain, else forecast fine. The end.
p.s. 80% of the time tomorrow will be the same as today.

Not in Melbourne. As Mark Twain observed, if you don’t like the weather, wait ten minutes.
