The discussion on gifting Lizzie a racehorse as a Silver Jubilee gift is a right royal belly laugh.

That the govt discussed at length the need to potentially breed multiple horses so she could have the pick of the crop really shows up our inferiority complex.
Here is the extract from the #palaceletters concerning the gift of a racehorse.....and the YES please response from Buckingham Palace.

Guess that's why racing is referred to as the sport of kings. ImageImageImage
Well was she pleased (photos not from #palaceletters)

THREAD

An FOI thread about nothing.

Starring: PM, PMC, Min for Home Affairs, Dept of Home Affairs.

Cameo: Jillian Segal

Still on the casting couch: Transparency
With much fanfare and a blaze of publicity the appointment of Jillian Segal as the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism (ASECA) was announced on 9 July.

Cameras rolling action! Image
Albo, flanked by then Immi min, Andrew Giles, & Labor MPs Mike Freelander & Josh Burns were there to show how serious the government was in combating antisemitism (which the PM stated)....and appeasing the pro-Israel lobby. Image

Just wanted to provide an update on the F-35 jet fighter, obviously a lot of focus on Australia's involvement in the global supply chain/production of the jet fighter.
I've seen a few diagrams most notably this one from 2018, sourced from the Department of Defence's document: F35: AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION THE JOURNEY TO $1 BILLION Image
The Department of Defence also provide an occasional F-35 Fast Facts update and the most recent one being "September/October 2023" - note timing.

The update contains a new version of the diagram.

WILL THE LAST NON-CONFLICTED NACCSTER TURN OFF THE #ROBODEBT LIGHT

Aside from #NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton, at least one other Senior Commission Staff (very likely a Deputy Commissioner) also had a conflict of interest.
This nugget is contained in a new FOI request which sought access to the conflict of interest material lodged by the Deputy Commissioners (and senior leadership team) in relation to the #Robodebt referral. Image
Unhelpfully, the NACC refers to "Senior Commission Staff" making it difficult to distinguish between Deputy Commissioners and the senior leadership team. Image

I want to belatedly talk about a 14th anniversary which occurred in May.

Cast your minds back to late May 2010.

It was, I believe, the last time an Israeli diplomat was punted from Australia.
The Australian government run by the Labor Political Party (<hi ALP comms team, see what I did there) showed a bit of spine and actually expelled an Israeli diplomat.
Then Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, took that action when our bosom buddies Israel, stole the identities of 4 Australians and forged passports which were then used in the assassination of a Hamas operative. Image

The GG, David Hurley, is going in July.

Historians will deliver verdicts on his tenure soon enough.

They'll get another chance in 95 years - he's left a "legacy" out to 2119.

We'll get to it later, but this photo provides a clue 👇 Image
READER WARNING: Long thread, and we need to cover old ground to get some new stuff.

If want the short-cut, you can read about it here:

michaelwest.com.au/diamond-dagger…
So let's begin.

My take on the GG - he's probably the worst one since SIr John Kerr.

Hurley's list of indiscretions includes: secrecy, conflict of interests, and poor Vice-Regal practices.

A funny thing happened on the way to the anti-doxing forum....

Zionist lobby and WhatsApp groups have sought to silence journalists and artists who hold a pro-Palestinian viewpoint. Image
Albo and Dreyfo's reaction, rather than seeking to rein in the covert influence of these groups, is to rush through anti-doxing laws after the membership lists of said groups were leaked and published. Image
The Australia Israel Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) itself published a list of 2000 One Nation party members and 200 donors back in July 1998 - via their journal the Australia/Israel Review (the Review).

Mark Leibler was running the joint then.

A proper Gotcha! doxing. Image
