IAN PLIMER | The first instance of murderous Islamic terrorism occurred in Australia more than 100 years ago. Nothing has changed. The primary cause still exists and has never been firmly addressed. On 11 November 1914, there was a proclamation of a holy war on behalf of the pan-Islamic world against the Allies by Sheikh al-Islam, the spiritual advisor to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V. This occurred less than a month after the Ottoman Empire joined the Axis forces in World War I. News of this international fatwa travelled fast. Terrorism took place in Australia seven weeks later and months before the Allied invasion of Turkey on Anzac Day, 1915. At 10 am on 1 January 1915, two Islamic terrorists attacked a picnic train on the outskirts of Broken Hill. Article |

What do we expect? Self-regulation is inherently weak. When the same institution accused of misconduct is responsible for investigating itself, incentives align toward minimisation, delay and reputational protection; not truth-finding and fact telling 🇦🇺

Iran.

Every oppressive regime eventually dies the same way: it destroys its own currency. When the money collapses, lies are exposed, power evaporates and fear stops working. Iran will be no different. This is not a threat, it’s just pattern recognition. Tyranny can survive protests. It can survive sanctions. It cannot survive currency collapse. Hyperinflation is the final reckoning and history never misses.

The new Province of South Australia prided itself for a freedom of religion principle, but nevertheless a Chaplain was appointed. The Anglican Reverend Charles Howard held his first service #OTD Sunday 1 January 1837 in the sand hills at Holdfast Bay. He had arrived on HMS Buffalo on December 28. Soon after, he borrowed a sail from a sea captain and with the help of a friend lugged it 12 km up to the site of the capital, Adelaide, in a handcart. Under it, he conducted services. The foundation stone for the first church, Holy Trinity on North Terrace, was laid on 26 January 1838. 📸 State Library of South Australia Art Gallery of South Australia Keith Conlon #history #southaustralia #adelaide #ourstories History Trust of South Australia Heritage South Australia State Library of South Australia City of Adelaide History Council of South Australia.

Whoever broke in didn’t take cash, didn’t take valuables, just the paperwork. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. “It wasn’t me” 🤣 🇸🇴

Please don’t lead it fade, the father of communism was bankrolled by a capitalist. No Engels → No Marx. Simple as that.

How about this one for South Australians; The North–South Corridor was originally sold to SA at around $9.9 billion. The latest official figure is $15.4 billion, more than a $5 billion blowout 🤷🏻 This is confirmed through state budget papers, Hansard, and Auditor-General reports. Despite design changes and construction pressures, the government still claims the project is “on budget at $15.4b” and has not released any updated costing since the blowout. Meanwhile, the Auditor-General has warned that major infrastructure projects like this carry a high risk of further cost overruns and delays. South Australians deserve current, transparent costings before the 2026 election, instead of after. South Road was sold to us at $9B — it’s now $15B+. We are told it’s still on budget. If this is “on budget”, what does a blowout look like?

The bond market doesn’t vote but it certainly campaigns.
