So is the ABC .. specifically about Asians https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-15/need-for-diversity-in-australian-defence-forces/103207560

I'd be happy if the media pitbulls got off his back. He's totally innocent before any guilty verdict is announced, if it does.

Anglo Aussies have to stick up for each other, no one else will. More so since the vast majority of Defense Force personnel are Traditional Anglo Aussies, who are susceptible to the hidden wrath of the ethnic community, for just being "Anglo". We get blamed for everything, even Bondi, according to Albo.

It's the political elite that are not trusted. Ben's trial will likely run concurrent with the Bondi mass murderer's trial. I'm betting Ben's trial will be reported with a fervour that will keep the Bondi murderer almost invisible, as he almost is now.

Nah, I've been observing it for decades. While you guys might be concentrating on economics and the weather, I've been concentrating on the harmony and adhesion of a multicultural society, like we've got. One particular trait I've noticed is that Traditional Anglo Aussies' are not going to be allowed to be perfect, that they must be shown to be as bad as any other ethnic group for the sake of "Ethnic Equality". Ask any ethnic person other than an Anglo Aussie. Ben's arrest was in the news on the same day as a report about the Bondi attacker's case. Ben's arrest was given big headlines (he wasn't even handcuffed), and overshadowed the report about the Bondi mass murderer (will he ever be convicted of anything? His crime was right before our eyes. Why isn't he in jail already, never to be released?) https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/more-time-sought-to-look-at-voluminous-evidence-in-alleged-bondi-terrorist-naveed-akrams-case-court/news-story/d9db319aa5ce51018ed1cf7d2dcf7a7f

It's gonna be a show trial to appease the multiculturalists so Labor can get some badly needed votes from it. The spotlight has now shifted from the Bondi murderer to Ben Roberts-Smith. I'm sure Ben's arrest was deliberately delayed to coincide with the Bondi murderer's long drawn out investigation. Can't blame an ethnic without an Anglo Aussie to blame also. Gotta balance things out a bit. That seems to be the unwritten motto in leftwing politics these days.

Here's Mars with camera movement. I used a 14MP compact digital camera at full 3x zoom. This was when Mars was orbiting closest to Earth in Aug 2018. I've expanded the image for better viewing. I was just fooling about on the night and tried to hold the camera as still as possible for the 1sec exposure. Click on it.

Did I say Cains? - I meant "Cairns"

These moon slides have always been in their own cardboard pack, a sort of fold out thing, and they've been up and down the East coast from Sydney to Cains, but never opened much. I was just keeping them as souvenirs. When I bought an Epson scanner, I decided to scan them. I think this is the famous one, if I remember, published around the world. Click on it.

Here's the Moon in 1969. I have a set of slides given to me by a photo lab for professional photographers in Sydney CBD. I've kept them all this time and only scanned them in Sep 2024. I can post more If you want to see them, there's 19 all up, different scenes.

Vietcong were murdered by some of our troops ... what happened about that? No cameras around apparently. What find nauseating is the underlying viciousness of the media and a female police officer on TV calling out Roberts-Smith for alleged crimes. He hasn't even gone to court yet.

The Greens never knew about the tailings dam at Mary Kathleen Uranium until I told them. That dam was on bare ground and was covered with a yellow foam, leaching into the ground and exposed to the atmosphere. The Qld State govt minister told the Greens it was monitored. Nothing happened after that, that I know of. I felt disappointed the Greens didn't fight to get it cleaned up. I walked in it as part of my job to fetch a pump, had gum boots on of course. The foreman stayed well back on the bank.

He still got his premiums back though. Sounds like a good insurance company to me. Wish they were all like that.

I'll be happy to vote for One Nation to get the roads fixed around here. No one else is doing it.

It'll get sorted out eventually. The CTP insurers have all the say as to how much a greenslip will cost. That will have to change so the motorist has input as well, so they can get a premium consistent with their driving record, their conditions whether city or rural, and an estimate of Ks traveled per year. It's one thing to have a predominately socialistic society, it's quite another if capitalist international insurance companies take your money, invest it, and never give any of it back if you never make a claim. It's robbery sanctioned by socialism, and that's the picture you guys have painted. No wonder everyone is struggling financially, and you can't blame Trump.
