That's what I thought too. Was he unelected? Reelected? Both? I wasn't aware that NK had elections. Ones with more than 1 name on the ballot, anyway.

Bated. Definitely. As in "abated" (lessened, reduced). You wouldn't want baited breath. That would be fishy. And you might get hooked.

Yeah, but it isn't as bigly gold plated as ant trumpey place.

I cannot think of a location more befitting of a Trump golden grift tower. Highly unlikely though. In spite of the Aussie building federation's dubious reputation, even they are unlikely to fall for a deal with such an untrustworthy developer. In our country we DO have honour among our thieves.

Australia 108 is Melbourne’s tallest building, standing at 316.7 meters (1,039 feet) in architectural height.

Is that headline correct? Kim Jong Unrelected?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest photo was briefly displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris by activists from the anti-billionaire group Everyone Hates Elon on Sunday, February 22, 2026. The framed photograph, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, shows Mountbatten-Windsor slumped in the back seat of a Range Rover after being released from Norfolk police custody following an 11-hour detention on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The image was hung on a wall at the museum alongside the caption “He’s Sweating Now”, a reference to a controversial 2019 interview where Mountbatten-Windsor claimed he couldn’t sweat due to a Falklands War injury, contradicting allegations by Virginia Giuffre. The display lasted only 15 minutes before Louvre staff removed it. The stunt was part of a protest against Mountbatten-Windsor’s alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, including emails suggesting he shared confidential government information while serving as a British trade envoy. The group stated their goal was to show “how the world will remember him” and called for “Justice for all Epstein survivors.”

1.5 Bill $$$'s apparently. Somebody should tell him there's a higher one in Melbourne. Nev

It's hard to see a way back for the Libs in SA for the foreseeable future, particularly with the popularity of the current premier and his mob. Here in Queensland in 2015, the Labor opposition went into the election with just seven seats and won another thirty five to win government, but in that case the sitting premier Can-Do was as popular as a turd floating in a punchbowl. Different in SA, the Libs are trying to compete against a very popular incumbent.

It must be scary for the Libs polling 14% primary vote a month out from the election. One Nation is polling 10% more than the Libs.

Re Trump on teh Gold Coast. One hopes that the local Trades and suppliers remember that Trump doesn't pay his bills. They should refuse to have anything to do with it. At the moment, the only deal that has been signed is with a design company. The Development Application hasn't been submitted. But DAs have never mattered to Trump.

There is talk that after teh South Australian State elections next month, the Libs will not have a seat in the House. A massive Labor win, but with minor Parties and Independents sitting opposite. There will be no constructive Opposition.
