a bit of this and a bit of that

 Broken Hill

Broken Hill should not have a problem with electricity Just quietly notice all those types that blamed windmills for the SA blackout are now silent on the very same issue in Broken Hill except renewables are nowhere to be seen!

Double Standards

Steve from Brisbane has an article on the double stands applied to Trump and whom ever he is running against in this case Harris. Think about this Trump said he could eliminate the USA's federal debt by using crypto currency. That is unmitigated garbage but nothing was said or reported. mostly he speaks  rambling incoherence but nothing is said. He is clearly having severe cognitive problems but nothing is said.

Cricket

Holy moly. England thrashed by Pakistan and the Kiwis, the Kiwis mind you, beat India in India for the first time in a very long time. What is happening here? 

The ppms batting could not cope with two spinners I simply do not rate. Neither Root nor Brook who are the best two batsmen against spin did as much as they should have. Stokes was poor both as a captain and a batsman in the last two tests.

In India Santner went bananas yet again I do not rate him at all. I reckon he would struggle in shires. The Indian batting looked very suspect and is Kholi over the hill??

Polling in the USA

People seem to miss two things of polls in the USA

1. Most polls have small sample sizes which means they have large margins of error. We have larger sample sizes here is OZ! 
2. Republicans put out 'clap trap' polls just so they get in the polls that are used to determine who is winning and thus getting big MO. BUT it backfired in 2022.

Queensland election

This was the right result. The LNP won government but has only a small  majority. The Greens went backwards. does this mean the ALP will win federal green seats??  THe LNP lost the campaign to a totally wooden figure in Miles.Hmmm
