Plus can you think what a well trained battalion of papua new guineans could do in a fire fight? Some of those lads can fight like the demons!

Another batch of chicks out of the incubator. Some for selling some for snacks. View Attachment![]() We are pumping out about 2 of these bad boys a day. I've never grown zucchini before but since i have started to eat them this year i decided to plant 4 seeds and got these results in about 2 months. They go from the size of a pickle to a big unit in about 2-3 days. Fried or baked offer the best flavour. View AttachmentTry slicing those zucchini length way and rolling in a bit of olive oil and throwing on the grill with a touch of sea salt. That is my husband's favorite way to eat them. How could i have forgotten that! Yes that is the best way to eat them by far. I haven’t fired up the barbie for a while and this is as good a reason as any. We had a clucky hen deliver another 9 chicks. It was a good effort considering a few days over over 40 degrees recently. |

It's Victoria that keeps the ALP alive. The Liberal party here is an absolute shambles, so the ALP gets a free pass no matter what they do. I just hope all the Mexicans bailing out of Victoria and heading North for greener pastures leave their shit politics behind! Up our way properties are selling hand over fist it's unbelievable! The great southern exodus has begun! Same here. we only bought this place a little over 12 months ago and the realo who sold us the place is asking if we want to sell! To be honest the National stronghold in my area has left us the laughing stock of the state, Labour probably would be better. Ol kev hogan can only replace old wooden bridges in BF nowhere. We have bugger all services but still pay tax and high rates to prop up gumby numpty local governments like Byron and Lismore shires. |

Is it possible to vote for labor anymore? It’s so full of nasty ladies and effeminate cucks that no true blue collar worker would go there would they?
I reckon if we asked the big companies to actually pay some tax we would be back to normal pretty quickly.

Just curious about all those people saying “you first”.......how long do you leave it before you decide to get it? I mean, if the vaccine is a dud and has some very long term affects, then it may take years,or even decades for those problems to arise. Examples like this have come up before in history - big hoola about a wonderful new vaccine/medicine and then a few years down the track we found it it caused deformities or similar. So if you say you will wait - then how long will you wait for? I agree, if you live in a rural area and don’t get about much, then defer it - but having said that, if it is legit and COVID strikes up again, then be prepared in some other way. I’m just really praying that the government won’t “blackmail” folks into having it. Something like you pay extra Medicare levy if you don’t take it etc.It’s already started. no jab no ride on an international qantas flight. We will be blackmailed you can bet on it. There is already talk of a vaccination passport to get you where you want to go. Any non vaccinated people will be considered as lepers. |

Why can’t we just work/trade with countries with similar values to us? They don't have to be the same just similar. Tthat shit is other planet. Cut our losses and move on, it was fun and we have big holes in our landscape but i reckon we are smarter than this and need to give ol’ Gina, twiggy, clive and all the other turncoats the flick.

Is it legal to sell meat in NSW that hasn't been processed through a certified abattoir? I don't think so. There are a few punters who have gone through the hoops to do this legally out of a truck with full certification. It might be cheaper to go to a bigger plant but it might be too far away from Milspec. also you can be assured you are getting your beast and not some wormy inbred cow from shitsville |

I’m with norseman it’s not all peaches and cream, steak and eggs yadda yadda yadda. Take a look at steer prices they are consistently around $6.50 plus at the moment for most classes all the way up to a bloody Ox. That’s a 160-200 kg animal going for $1300 plus each. That’s a Hefty investment for a 4 legged pain in the arse piece of meat walking around your paddock. Lose a couple to disease and dogs and ticks and duffers and any future profit can be gone months before you even sell the buggers. The money is never in primary production at the small scale. How about growing, mobile slaughter then sell at your local market or travel to Brisso with your boutique organic meat and sell to the yuppies at West End? I see plenty of coins doing that if you can market it well. It works i used to buy meat from a dude at a market and we had a good seller customer relationship. His Christmas hams were very good.

Lucky until you factor in our predominantly ancient and starved soil. In stating that our farmers are awesome innovators and i think at one stage led the world in conservation tillage and using heavy cracking clay soil to it’s full potential. Some of the best market gardens i have seen have been in desert environments like broken hill and Charleville, zones 10-11. The arid areas along the Murrumbidgee and Murray are wonderful producers of a wide variety of food. We just need water.

My Daughter came in today saying that so and so was being a karen. I thought WTF she is only 10 and is talking about karens. So i asked her what a karen was and she gave an incomplete answer which was a relief. Mrs and I had a chuckle and talked about karens for a bit. Then we talked about China and their twitter about the photoshop of the Aussie soldier with the kid holding a lamb. Not long after my son watched a bit of the old malcom in the middle.
so i’m looking at Ausprep and she kicks off youtube. The first 5 things that pop up are about conflict with china, a clip about karens going off and the icing on the cake was a clip of an old malcom in the middle episode.....
Just now the lads from Amberly are playing above......friggen creepy.

Don’t count on it Joey. I’m still waiting for the glut of WA crayfish to hit my local fisho, alas no luck yet.☹️ Just heard Au gov is thinking of going to the WTO about barley tarrifs. This could get interesting as we seem to be the tip of the spear and willing to push back. The EU has been sedate but his might ratchet up the stakes a bit and get them off the couch. The glut of sushi grade tuna has finally hit here. We've been eating it twice a week.  That sounds promising, how do the costs compare or is it that it is actually available now? |

Canada has been pretty open about the CCP's hostage taking. Most other countries are too scared to say it. I've already told work that I won't go back there again. Realistically the odds of getting stuck there are small, but the consequences are huge so I'm not taking the chance. I've been twice for extended periods and I'm never going back, especially after all the anti CCP shit stirring I've done on the net! Good idea to stay away. You’d be lined up for some extended experimental reeducation. 😆 |

Cops love their “stuff”. I've got a mate with a coastal mansion, good new cars and he just put in a pool with jets that create a stream of water to swim against for his fitness. There is no way if hell he’ll be giving that up.

It does happen. We think it’s the phone. So what do you do? THis crap is everywhere and by accepting the myriad of privacy agreements to access anything the devil is in the detail.
So is huawei really the enemy? Hell no it’s all the tech companies. Apple just got fined for powering down old iphones in he US to boost new phone sales. They spread huge amounts of false and unverified info. it’s 1984.
