Oh dear, it looks like Andrews problems are not going to go away - in fact they're getting worse. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/19/police-former-prince-andrew-mountbatten-windsor-sandringham

No idea if it is real or not.. But I would argue only those that want to keep the incumbents in (hint... an Iranian works for me and is not from a minority)

Well, back to topic.. Albo proomised us he would lead a government of integrity. Once of his henchwomen promised to end jobs for the boyz... How far did that one go? Ahh.. not very.. Easy to talk the talk while in opposition

Personally I would wait for the official stuff than speculation at the moment. There wil be all osrts of rumours in the mill at the moment. Whilst Mountbatten (he is actually no longer officially a royal anymore) was a few cents short of a dollar whom Epstien and let's not forget Maxwell could exploit, many people he dealt with had a few more grey cells between their ears, so building a fake, or at least embelished dossier for extortion purposes would not be too big a leap. Of course, there will be those who are entirely involved, regardless of extortion or not, and there are those whom may have had a somewhat fake or embellished set of files established to see how far messrs Epstein and Maxwell could get,.

Albert Park would have required modification as longer runoff areas are needed for bikes. There are some corners at AP where there is no room for longer runoffs. Wayne Gardiner had quite a spew about the loss. He said the place had been badly run down since Aust GP Corp took over and the government wouldn't put up cash to restore the place, Asked if he would remove his statue, he said he would "stick it up their arxe".

When I did UK law, only the monarch him or herself was above the law, held by a case way back in the 15th or 16th century (IO think - have to look it up). Be interesting to see if that actually holds. Of course, just because someone wrote something happened donb't mean it did, or in the context it was written. But, I wonder if any pedo cases are coming his way (and I don't know if he is implicated in indulging in sex with an underage person), because another quirk of UK law is that it applies everywhere in the world. So, as a UK citizen, if you commit an offence under UK law in another country where whatever you did is not an offience, then you can still be liable for that offence in the UK. It was intorduced to stop mutiny I believe.

Planes don't steer with the rudder. They do it by banking and directing the Lift forces in the Intended direction of turn. I suggest birds are not much different, Nev

It is a quirk of the Hate Speech laws that, as I understand the law, saying that to noone in particular is not an offence, since it is not directly an incitement to violence. In NSW, this is the wording of the offence: 93Z Offence of publicly threatening or inciting violence on grounds of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex or HIV/AIDS status (1) A person who, by a public act, intentionally or recklessly threatens or incites violence towards another person or a group of persons on any of the following grounds is guilty of an offence-- Of course, my opinion is that the current worldwide increase in overt racism is the product of what we are told is the World's greatest democracy, and you know which one I mean.

The Pope and Trump are on stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans toward Trump and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day, they will rejoice!" Trump says, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me!" So the Pope slaps him.

Pretty good innings.
