QUELLE SURPRISE! EVERYONE AGREES WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON RN BREAKFAST re ISRAEL
This morning’s RN Breakfast’s Friday Political Panel – with Fran (“I’m an activist”) Kelly in the presenter’s chair – spent time discussing the Australia/Israel relationship. In particular, the statement by Prime Minister Scott Morrison that Australia will consider moving its embassy in Israel (currently at Tel Aviv) to Jerusalem. West Jerusalem, in fact. Which is where the government of Israel is based.
Ms Kelly asked the questions of her panel – Malcolm Farr (national political editor, news.com.au), Alice Workman (political editor, Buzzfeed) and Mark Kenny (national affairs editor, Sydney Morning Herald and The Age). Guess what? All three members of the Canberra Parliamentary Press Gallery agreed with each other that this is a dud idea. Quelle surprise!
Mr Farr said that all of the Prime Minister’s announcements on this issue “would have been applauded by the Israeli government”. Not so – since the government of Benjamin Netanyahu would be unlikely to agree with Mr Morrison’s suggestion that East Jerusalem might be the site of the capital of a Palestinian State. In any event, your man Farr said that the Morrison government’s position was not credible.
Then it was over to Ms Workman who suggested that the decision “could come back to bite the prime minister”. Later she declared that Mr Morrison’s announcement was but a “thought bubble”.
Then it was over to Mr Kenny who accused Prime Minister Morrison of “firing from the lip”. Indeed it was a “sad reflection of the way politics has overcome policy in Australia”, he said.
Fran Kelly did not contest any of the above comments. And so it came to pass that Malcolm agreed with Alice who agreed with Mark who agreed with Malcolm who agreed with himself. No other view was heard. That’s debate – brought to you by the taxpayer funded public broadcaster.
[Quite so. I note that Fran Kelly interviewed Dave Sharma, the Liberal Party candidate for Wentworth, on Tuesday. After a tough interview it was over to Paul Bongiorno, RN Breakfast’s regular Tuesday commentator.
The leftist Bonge piled into Dave Sharma. Bonge accused the Liberal Party candidate of using “glib weasel words”. He went on to accuse the Morrison government of “tormenting innocent men and women and children” on Nauru and described this as “appalling”. Bonge added that the Morrison government was into “crass politics”. He also claimed that the Coalition parties are supporting “white supremacists”.
I note that RN Breakfast does not employ one conservative in its commentary team – which consists of Michelle Grattan (Monday), Paul Bongiorno (Tuesday), Peter van Onselen (Wednesday), Phil Coorey (Thursday) and Alice Workman (Friday). Not one is a conservative. PVO presents as a small “l” Liberal – not as a conservative. This is yet another example of a lack of political diversity in the ABC’s Conservative-Free-Zone. – MWD Editor.]
THE IRRELEVANCE OF THE DRUM ON THE TAXPAYER FUNDED CONSERVATIVE-FREE-ZONE
Did anyone watch ABC TV’s The Drum last night? It was billed as a discussion about tomorrow’s Wentworth by-election, which some commentators maintain is the most important such event in Australian history. This is how The Drum advertised last night’s discussion:
How important is it that Wentworth candidates have a plan to deal with climate change? We don’t usually have politicians on #TheDrum but tonight we’ll take a look at four candidates’ policies for the high-profile Wentworth by-election.
Interesting eh? Julia Baird, The Drum’s presenter, and her producers only raised the issue of climate change. Apparently, they do not believe that voters are interested in such matters as energy prices, cost of living, employment and the like. This appears true of The Drum’s viewers. Some 40 tweets were posted on The Drum’s website after last night’s program started – most were on climate change and asylum seekers.
In any event, of the three main candidates only Independent Kerryn Phelps fronted up. The Liberal Party’s Dave Sharma and Labor’s Tim Murray were not available. So The Drum stumped up Kerryn Phelps (Independent) plus Licia Heath (Independent), Dominic WY Kanak (Greens) and Angela Vithoulkas (Independent). The latest example of Independence Day, it seems.
Imagine the Last Supper – which some commentators maintain is the most important dining event in history – with Peter and Judas as no-shows. It was a bit like that on The Drum last night.
What’s the explanation? Well, as avid readers are aware, The Drum is increasingly resembling ABC TV’s Q&A – except for the fact that it does not have a baying Green/Left audience. As presenter Julia Baird has acknowledged, The Drum invariably has a deficit of conservatives on its panels which practise all sorts of diversity except political diversity. Some conservatives will not appear on The Drum’s unbalanced panels – other conservatives are not invited to do so.
It’s not as if Mr Sharma is avoiding his opponents. After all, he debated Dr Phelps (for a medical doctor she is) yesterday morning on Channel 9’s Today program. It’s just that if the Liberal Party candidate had turned up – he would have had to confront at least three opponents plus presenter Dr Baird (who is no conservative). Why would Dave Sharma bother? Especially when The Drum goes to air live at 5.12 pm – Gin & Tonic time in the Henderson Household. It’s a more enjoyable occasion than to be down 4 to 1 on a Drum panel. What ABC management does not understand is that The Drum needs talent like Dave Sharma more than the likes of Mr Sharma need The Drum.
PAUL MURRAY LIVE PANELLIST – ONCE A SOCIALIST FELLOW TRAVELLER
Jackie’s (male) co-owner invariably looks forward to Sky News’ Paul Murray Live on Thursdays – since former Howard government minister Bronwyn Bishop usually makes an appearance. It’s a lively occasion – partly due to the fact that Ms Bishop has taken to labelling her political opponents as “socialists”, and occasionally, “communists”. In short, PML can be a lot of fun on a Thursday.
And so it came to pass last night when Bronwyn Bishop called former Liberal Party prime minister Malcolm Turnbull “a socialist” and said that he used to head the Turnbull Socialist government – or something like that.
As MWD records, Bronwyn Bishop voted for Tony Abbott over Malcolm Turnbull in the Liberal Party’s December 2009 leadership ballot. But MWD believes that in September 2015 the Bishop vote went to Turnbull over Abbott. So it seems that Ms Bishop bears some responsibility for the march of socialists and socialism across the land. MWD is prepared to hear – and publish – submissions on this matter. But, right now, Bronwyn Bishop stands accused of voting for “a socialist” to become prime minister of Australia only three years ago.
LEIGH SALES’ TRIGGER WARNING: 7.30 COMEDIAN MARK HUMPHRIES IS INTO SATIRE
Believe it or not, but Hendo has quite a few contacts among young Australian comedians (who probably vote Greens). What they have in common with Jackie’s (male) co-owner is that few, if any, regard Mark Humphries as funny.
So it’s helpful that, in his new gig as 7.30 stand up/sit down comedian, your man Humphries is introduced by presenter Leigh Sales as proving “a satirical take”. It’s a kind of please-laugh invitation.
Last night, Leigh Sales introduced the segment as follows:
Leigh Sales: This week in the Senate, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson caused headaches for the government after moving a motion declaring “It’s okay to be white”. For a satirical take on those events, here’s Mark Humphries.
7.30’s stand-up/sit-down comedian had just one joke. To wit, that “people are finally coming to understand just how racist Australia is – against white people”. It went on and on and on – for three minutes. [I wonder if Mr Humphries is being paid by the minute. Just a thought – MWD Editor.] By the way, last night Mark Humphries adopted the persona of the very white “Simon Drab – Race Discrimination Commissioner”. It was enough to drive Jackie’s (male) co-owner to drink.
CAN YOU BEAR IT?
PETER FITZSIMONS TACKLES THE EVEREST RACE & THE ROYAL FAMILY – WITHOUT LANDING A BLOW
What a week it’s been for Peter FitzSimons, the Fairfax Media Sydney Morning Herald columnist who is also chair of the Australian Republic Movement.
Fitz recently led the campaign against the eight minute light-show of The Everest Horse Race which was projected on the Sydney Opera House sails. How did this campaign go? Well, the second running of The Everest was as popular as MWD readers would expect the Second Coming to be.
Some 40,000 attended Royal Randwick Racecourse last Saturday in spite of the rain – compared with 22,000 who rocked up for the Caulfield Guineas horse race at Caulfield Race Course in Melbourne. Moreover, The Everest was a huge wagering success partly due to the publicity engendered by Fitz and his fellow protesters. Seldom in recent times has a horse race received such international publicity. Well done Fitz. So what about the Royal Tour? – MWD hears you cry.
On Tuesday, The Sydney Morning Herald published a piece by The Red Bandannaed One titled “Why republicans welcome the royal couple”. It read, in part, as follows – with reference to the current visit to Australia of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (aka Harry and Meghan).
The popularity of rock-star royals and the desire to continue being reigned over by a family of English aristocrats, are distinctly different things. Equally fatuous is the notion that Australia becoming a republic will have any effect whatsoever on the royal goings-on, that we of the ARM want to put a stop to it all. Never! See, for all the people that love the births, betrothals ballyhoo-tally-ho and bon temps of the royals, the good news is that all of that will go on, even when we are a proud independent country beneath the Southern Cross!
Yes, friends, the only connection between the young royals’ popularity and the fate of the Australian republic is that, despite appearances, a royal visit like this actually speeds the pace of our transition, because it encourages debate, and focus. For with both comes an increase in our popularity, particularly in the younger generation, which is savvy enough to know the difference between enjoying a British royal visit and voting for an Australian republic. And, make no mistake, a lot of the young’uns reel from the unseemly gushing.
What a load of absolute tosh – a bon temps of absolute tosh, to be sure. The best attended Royal Visit to Australia occurred in early 1954 when Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh travelled to all States. Contrary to Fitz’s claim, the 1954 Royal Visit did not speed up Australia’s “transition” to a republic.
It seems that The Red Bandannaed One really believes that young Australians will reel away from unseemly gushing at the Monarchy’s Harry and Meghan – and support, instead, the ARM led by a middle-aged, Neutral Bay-residing millionaire bloke who wears a red rag on his head. It’s called delusion. Can You Bear It?
[Er, no. Not really. I’m a republican but the Australian Republic Movement will never succeed if it’s led by such a divisive figure as Fitz. The ARM would be well advised to retire the Red Bandannaed One and replace him with a young sheila who wears a fascinator. – MWD Editor.]
RN DRIVE’S “NOT-PREGNANT” PROPHECY DISCREDITED WITHIN 10 MINUTES
While on the topic of the (latest) Royal Tour, on Monday RN Drive presenter Patricia Karvelas spoke to British Royal-watcher Omid Scobie [Why? MWD Editor] who has a podcast titled “On Heir”. Get it? It seems that Ms Karvelas’ listeners are interested in the visit to Australia of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. So, it was not long before Ms Karvelas asked that question:
Patricia Karvelas: I can’t believe I’m even going to ask this, but I’m going to ask this question.
Omid Scobie: Go on.
Patricia Karvelas: You know, all this speculation that Meghan might be pregnant.
Omid Scobie: [laughs].
Patricia Karvelas: You’re a Royal expert, what do you reckon?
Omid Scobie: Yeah you know, of course ever since the wedding happened in May, I would say the world and certainly the press has been on bump- watch since the very beginning. Anytime she steps out there’s always commentary on Twitter about “oh can I see a bump”. You know, it gets a little hysterical at times. It is worth noting that Meghan is travelling to Fiji and Tonga on this trip – both which have government advisory in the US and the UK about Zika warnings. So, you know, in the UK they recommend that if you’re pregnant or planning to get pregnant you don’t visit either of these places after, or before even planning to conceive. And so, just going with that fact alone, I would say that it’s highly unlikely.
Patricia Karvelas appeared to concur. Around ten minutes after the interview concluded, Kensington Palace announced that the Duchess of Sussex is pregnant. Worth a Walkley, to be sure. Can You Bear It?
THE DRUM’s “RESPECTFUL DISCUSSION” FALLS AT THE CATHERINE McGREGOR HURDLE
As avid readers are aware, Dr Julia Baird (for a doctor she is) – the main presenter of The Drum – boasts that her program encourages and endorses RESPECTFUL DISCUSSION.
So, how did Dr Baird’s respectful discussion go this week? Here’s how – when Hobart-based Catherine McGregor appeared on The Drum last Monday in the capacity as a “cricket writer”.
Julia Baird said nothing when Ms McGregor made the following comments – in a sneering/mocking tone:
Catherine McGregor: [The Morrison Government’s] quixotic attempt to pursue religious freedom has now become ScoMo’s 18c [Racial Discrimination Act] humiliation. He’s now running to say that he’s looked on God’s creation and found it good and he’s now going to take a rest on this kind of Jihad that he was launched on to preserve religious freedom. So, let me know what the [Liberal Party] base have to say about that in the next couple of weeks. I can’t wait to see the provisional wing of the St Pius X Society over at Quadrant next week when they get to digest this news about uh, with Roger Franklin and his Symbionese Liberation Army guys. I’d like to see what they have to say at this back down. You know, two weeks ago he [Prime Minister Scott Morrison] was worried about gender whisperers. Now he can’t fawn over gay kids fast enough and presumably gay teachers are okay too.
Catherine McGregor went on to refer to Lyle Shelton, of the Australian Conservative Party, as a “white sepulchre” and a “pharisee”. How’s all that for a respectful discussion? Can You Bear It?
[Does Julia Baird or Catherine McGregor really expect that most of The Drum viewers know about Pius X or Roger Franklin or the Symbionese Liberation Army or Pharisees? – MWD Editor.]
A BROKEN (BURNSIDE) PROMISE ON SECULARISM
Julian (“I just love flashing my post-nominals”) Burnside AO QC presents as someone with a superior morality to most of us mere mortals. That’s why JB AO QC concludes his email correspondence with the following quotes from H.L. Mencken:
“A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.” – H.L. Mencken
“The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.” – H.L. Mencken
“Don’t overestimate the decency of the human race.” – H.L. Mencken
This suggests that your man Burnside still retains some of the Christian doctrine he was taught at Melbourne Grammar School all those years ago about The Fall, Original Sin, the imperfectability of mankind and all that stuff. Even though these days JB AO QC is a born-again secularist.
As avid readers will be aware, JB AO QC is one of the six ambassadors of the somewhat blokey National Secular Lobby – along with Mr Phillip Adams, Ms Jane Caro, Mr Chris Schacht, Mr Paul Willis and Mr David Zyngier. [Sounds a bit like a Men’s Shed which a lady has visited to pour the tea – don’t you think? – MWD Editor.
The NSL’s inaugural media release, issued on 17 September 2018, commenced as follows:
The National Secular Lobby is voicing the deep concerns of the secular majority and urging Australians to call out the Prime Minister on his misleading and outrageous comments on religious freedom.
So JB AO QC and his (fellow) secular comrades accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of making “misleading and outrageous comments”. Yet JB AO QC signed on to the statement which (falsely) claimed that there is a “secular majority” in Australia.
In fact, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, data from the 2016 Census reveals that 52 per cent of Australians are Christians – and other religious believers amount to 8 per cent. That is, 60 per cent of Australians are religious believers – while some 30 per cent describe themselves are having “no religion”. This was an optional question which was not answered by all.
Now, since 30 per cent is a long way south of a majority – Hendo wrote to JB AO QC on 20 September 2018 suggesting that he might correct the Australian Secular Lobby’s howler – which is misleading.
On 20 September 2018, Julian Burnside emailed that he would “write later” about this matter. He didn’t. Another broken promise. What would H. L. Mencken have said? Can You Bear It?
REPORT FROM SANDALISTA LAND
JACKIE’S [LATEST] TAKE ON THE [BORING] SATURDAY PAPER
Whatever Morry Schwartz’s The Saturday Paper is – it is not a newspaper, in that it contains scant news. More like a weekly leftist house-journal which is read by Green/Left sandal wearers in coffee shops in Fitzroy North and Newtown. The problem is that The Saturday Paper goes to press on Thursday evenings. So when it comes out on Saturday morning its “news” is already 36 hours old. That’s why Hendo reads it on Monday – what’s the hurry?
THE SATURDAY PAPER COMPARES RICHARD ACKLAND TO OSCAR WILDE – REALLY
It is MWD’s contention that you can judge a newspaper by its Letters Page. For example, MWD never publishes supportive correspondence – and prefers critical letters. Unlike The Saturday Paper, editor-in-chief Erik Jensen. This is the letter that The Saturday Paper ran on 8 September 2018 concerning its “Gadfly” columnist – aka Richard Ackland.
In reading The Saturday Paper my first port of call is invariably Gadfly and his Oscar-like Wilderness. Now he has an apprentice Gadfly. Pip, pip, young chap.
-Pam Connor, Mollymook Beach, NSW
So in the coffee shops of fashionable Mollymook Beach, Pam Connor reads Richard Ackland – whose wit she equates with Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). The reference to “an apprentice Gadfly” was a shout-out to Alex McKinnon who stepped up as author of the “Gadfly” column when your man Ackland was on what journalists like to call a well-earned break.
To get an Oscar Wilde hit, Hendo had a glance at Richard Ackland’s “Gadfly” column published last Saturday titled “Lord and hosts”. Laugh? Jackie’s male co-owner could not stop laughing at the Wit of Ackland and his (alleged) Oscar-like Wildeness. There were references to “the Nasty Party” (the Liberal Party), “Skin Curling SloMo” (Prime Minister Scott Morrison), “Fabulous Phil Ruddock” (Philip Ruddock), “Our Father of the Blessed Grecian” (Kevin Andrews) and “The Toadstool-in-Chief” (Donald J. Trump). How funny is that?
The only person to be treated with respect by Gadfly last Saturday was Sydney activist Jessie Street (1889-1970). Richard (“they call me Oscar”) Ackland, failed to advise readers that Comrade Street was a notorious Stalinist who never came across a communist purge or show trial or gulag or execution site that she didn’t embrace.
But MWD digresses. It seems that Ms Connor (of Mollymook) and Mr Jensen (of Fitzroy North, via Collingwood) reckon that your man Ackland’s confected nicknames are as satirical as, say, Lady Windermere’s Fan. Really.
WHAT A BUMMER – ERIK JENSEN GOES FOR A DHARMA/SHARMA “JOKE”
While on the topic of The [Boring] Saturday Paper, can anyone explain the meaning of the sub-heading which appeared at the top of Page 4 on last week’s edition?
This was the continuation of Mike (“The Sneerer”) Seccombe’s Page One lead titled “The race that stopped the nation” on the Wentworth by-election. “Sharma bums” – what could this mean? Could it be an oh-so-clever reference to Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums – since Dharma rhymes with Sharma? Surely not. And would anyone know outside of Fitzroy North? – or even inside Sandalista Central.
DAVID HILL CORRECTS MIKE SECCOMBE RE BOB HAWKE & GERALDINE DOOGUE
While on the topic of Sneering Mike Seccombe, this is what one-time ABC managing director David Hill wrote about The Saturday Paper’s national correspondent in the Letters Page last weekend:
Hawke didn’t want Doogue sacked
I refer to your highly inaccurate story (Mike Seccombe, “Charges stacking up”, October 6-12) suggesting that as managing director of the ABC during the Gulf War I wanted Geraldine Doogue sacked. Your story is a rehash of a story originally published in 2003 and refuted at the time. Had your correspondent bothered to contact me – as basic journalistic standards would have required – I would have happily provided him with the accurate background information.
It is true that in 1991 the then prime minister Bob Hawke was highly critical of aspects of the ABC coverage of the Gulf War. When the ABC chair Bob Somervaille and I went to discuss his concerns in Canberra, Hawke complained our coverage was “biased and disgraceful”. I was a fan – and a supporter – of Doogue, and only the previous year had agreed to her resuming a senior TV presenter role after she had left the ABC to work in commercial TV.
At the time of the Gulf War Hawke did not ask for her to be sacked and I certainly would not have agreed to it anyway. Doogue acknowledged the sole source of the fiction that I wanted her removed was her then boss Peter Manning.
In the almost 10 years I was at the ABC, as board chairman and then MD, I never once considered removing anyone because of complaints from politicians. Incidentally, your article is also wrong in describing me as “Labor’s hand-picked managing director”. The selection of the MD was then, as it is now, a decision for the ABC board.
– David Hill, Randwick, NSW
Quite so. It seems that The Saturday Paper’s national correspondent tries his hand at fiction every now and then – including when attacking Labor Party leaders from a Green/Left perspective. Note that there is a comprehensive coverage of Mr Hawke’s argument with the ABC over the First Gulf War in Ken Inglis’ This Is The ABC (MUP, 1983)
NEW FEATURE – JACKIE’S RANT OF THE WEEK
IN WHICH JENNA PRICE LOOKS AT SCOTT MORRISON AND SEES ADOLF HITLER
In these times of disruption, the rant is all the rage. We’re used to rants on social media and in the electronic media. But the phenomenon is also found in newspapers – which, traditionally, have been more considered and reflective than other forms of media. MWD will be watching out for rants-in-print and reporting them to avid readers. This week MWD fave Jenna Price helped out – with a stunning piece comparing the early Scott Morrison with the early Adolf Hitler. Really.
On 12 October 2018, the Canberra Times carried Jenna Price’s column titled: “Enough of pollies prying”. It turned on a discussion of the leaked recommendations of the Religious Freedom Review, which was commissioned by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and chaired by Philip Ruddock. The report has neither been released nor considered by government. Even so, Ms Price elected to do a rant about it – seemingly unaware that it appears that the Religious Freedom Review has recommended giving additional rights for LGBTI students than those currently in existence under legislation passed by Julia Gillard’s Labor government in 2013.
In her rant, Ms Price looked at the report of mild-mannered Philip Ruddock and saw Nazism:
This proposal is a nod to Nazism. Not even a nod. It’s a straight lift from the Hitlerian playbook. Mike Godwin, the man who brought us Godwin’s Law, is pretty clear about the comparison between contemporary Australian events and Nazi Germany. “There was a lot of doctrine which was pretty overt about children, church and family and that poisoned anything which didn’t fit the paradigm.”
That is the role of this government, to poison and divide us, instead of nurturing and uniting us.
For those of you who don’t know, those who’ve avoided the internet for decades, Godwin’s Law says that in any protracted debate, someone will eventually resort to pulling out Hitler at which point the argument is over. But as Godwin, a US lawyer, writer and first staff counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation says, “Writ large there is the fact that at some point in the development of Nazism it was decided to purge homosexuals and to persecute them.”
Which is what these devastating amendments would do. It would persecute young gay people who already, in many instances, struggle. Godwin’s giving me a leave pass to break his rule because in this case, it is Nazism.
Confused? No surprise. Jenna Price seems to be saying (i) that the Ruddock recommendation is “straight from the Hitler playbook”, (ii) that Mike Godwin reckons that when someone resorts to mentioning Hitler, the argument is over but (iii) it’s okay to mention Hitler when discussing contemporary Australia since Mike Godwin has given Jenna Price permission to do so. So there you have it – or not.
In fact, there is no evidence that any LGBTI student has been expelled from a private school due to their sexuality – and the Religious Freedom Review recommends that the existing provisions in the legislation be altered to give greater protection to students.
Yet the Price rant states that Prime Minister Scott Morrison is intent on purging and persecuting homosexuals in the tradition of Adolf Hitler. Jenna Price is an academic who teaches media students. [Perhaps this should have been placed in your hugely popular Can You Bear It? segment. Just a thought. – MWD Editor.]
AN ABC UPDATE
MATT BEVAN U.S. SUPREME COURT PROPHECY
Meet Matt Bevan – he is one of the bevy of left-wing journalists at the Conservative Free Zone that is the ABC. Currently Comrade Bevan is a newsreader and commentator on the ABC Radio National Breakfast program – presenter Fran Kelly.
In his daily news commentary, your man Bevan presents as one of a number of ABC journalists who are obsessed with President Donald J. Trump and frequently exhibits manifestations of Trump-phobia.
On Sunday, a comment appeared on the ABC News site by Matt Bevan – titled “Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment may have undermined the US Supreme Court for years to come”. The piece commenced with praise for the Indian Supreme Court and concluded that “it may not be long before the Indian Supreme Court overtakes its US counterpart as a fairer, more trusted institution.”
Well, it may. Or it may not. We don’t know. What we do know is that Bevan is of the view that the United States Supreme Court “has entered an era of unprecedented crisis”. He alleges that over several decades the court has gradually become more polarised. Bevan’s main gripe turns on the appointment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy:
The fight over Kavanaugh was always going to be dirty. Democrats hadn’t forgotten Senate Republicans’ year-long campaign to hold open a Supreme Court seat to prevent President Barack Obama making a final appointment before the 2016 election. Democrats call that the “stolen seat”, and their liberal base demanded they do everything possible to make the process difficult for Trump and Senate leader Mitch McConnell.
This meant when allegations of sexual assault emerged after the regular confirmation hearings had concluded, the Republican party felt confident in declaring that the Democratic party had cooked up a plot to bring down Kavanaugh. After all, Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer had said he would fight the nomination “with everything I’ve got”. In the age of Trump, touting a conspiracy theory that Democratic senators were trying to pin false sexual assault charges on their nominee is par for the course. But Kavanaugh’s decision to join the chorus was the one which pushed the Supreme Court past a point of no return.
So, according to the ABC newsreader, the US Supreme Court has passed “a point of no return” – since, according to Bevan, it now has a clearly partisan judge sitting on the court. Due to this (alleged) fact, every decision the court makes will be questioned for whether it is motivated by party affiliates.
This seems somewhat hyperbolic – even for an ABC Trump-hater. It has been known for eons that there are liberals and conservatives on the Supreme Court and that, on occasions, some judges take unexpected positions in their judgments.
It seems that Matt Bevan holds the view that Brett Kavanaugh was not entitled to defend himself vigorously against the historic sexual abuse allegations of Dr Christine Blasey Ford, which were not supported by evidence. Also, the ABC journalist failed to mention that Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein did nothing until September 2018 about a letter she received from Dr Ford in July 2018 – a period of around six weeks. She did not give it to the Senate or to the FBI until the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee vote – when it was leaked to the media, allegedly by the Senator’s office.
Mr Bevan failed to tell ABC online readers (if readers there were) that the reason why the sexual allegations emerged after the regular confirmation hearings had concluded was due to the fact that Senator Feinstein held on to the material in order to delay the process as long as possible with a view to the appointment being unconfirmed at the time of the November 2018 mid-term elections.
Currently ABC management regards Matt Bevan as some sort of objective expert on the United States.
TRACING AUSTRALIA’S FIRST SELF-DECLARED POLITICAL “OUTSIDER”
Who was Down Under’s first self-proclaimed Outsider? MWD is not certain. Sure, one-time Labor Party leader Mark Latham declared himself an Outsider around the time he left politics. Outsiders was the name of the program which he commenced on Sky News with Ross Cameron and Rowan Dean in 2016. As avid readers are all too well aware, Mr Latham left the program in 2017, which continues with just two blokes – Ross (“I’m a Marcus Aurelius Fan Boy”) Cameron and Rowan Dean.
The word “outsider” has been around for many, many decades. However, its use as a political label in Australia seems to be relatively new. Mark Latham used it in the first decade of the 21st Century while Messrs Cameron and Dean have used it in more recent years. However, MWD is of the view that the term was popularised in Australia by B.A. Santamaria (1915-1998) – who is best remembered as an anti-communist and socially conservative Catholic activist.
In the preface to his 1987 collection of essays titled Australia at the Crossroads: Reflections of an Outsider, Bob Santamaria quoted Professor Hedley Bull’s comment that he was an “outsider’ due to the fact that he was “too Cartesian and doctrinaire in his manner of argument”. BAS also quoted Mark Thomas, who wrote that Mr Santamaria was “alien” in the sense that “his notions of the life of the mind and the potency of ideas fit into no Australian tradition, party, ideology”.
B.A. Santamaria – like Messrs Latham, Cameron and Dean in contemporary times – was happy to embrace the title Outsider – as the cover of his 1987 book makes clear.
THE ABC & PEDOPHILIA: A TIMELINE (UPDATED)
There was enormous interest in last week’s “Jackie’s Old Bones” segment. Readers remarked how the ABC’s reluctance to accept criticism has flowed through the generations. In 1973, the Four Corners collective [Don’t you mean soviet? MWD Editor] threw the switch to defensive when (then) ABC chairman Richard Downing made a slight criticism of the program. Professor Downing believes that Four Corners had erred in focusing on former Labor leader Arthur Calwell’s Catholicism rather than on his political views on social and economic policy in addition to foreign affairs. Four Corners personnel got angry, alleged a gross misinterpretation had taken place and so on. Shucks.
In any event, the very mention of Professor Richard Downing’s name sparked lotsa avid readers to ask that MWD publish an updated version of The ABC & Pedophilia: A Timeline – focusing only on Professor Downing and two of his successors, namely James Spigelman and Justin Milne. Mr Spigelman was ABC chairman between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2017. Mr Milne was ABC chairman between 1 April 2017 and 27 September 2018.
A POLICY OF DENYING FORMER CHAIRMAN RICHARD DOWNING’S STATEMENT ON PEDERASTY
1970: Richard Neville’s memoir Play Power is released. In his chapter titled “Group Grope”, Neville boasts about having a “hurricane f-ck” with a “moderately attractive, intelligent, cherubic fourteen-year-old girl from a nearby London comprehensive school”. At the time Neville (born in Sydney in 1941) was in his late twenties – i.e. he was about twice the age of his schoolgirl victim. Sex with an under-age girl or boy was a criminal offence in England at the time – and still is.
1975: Despite being a self-confessed pedophile, Richard Neville obtains a presenter’s job on the ABC radio program titled Lateline which runs on the public broadcaster’s second radio network (the equivalent of Radio National today). Lateline comes within the domain of the ABC left-wing producer Allan Ashbolt.
14 July 1975: Richard Neville presents a program titled “Pederasty” on Lateline. Three pederasts are interviewed in the ABC studio in Sydney by Neville, who adopts a non-judgmental attitude to their child sexual abuse. A couple of young male victims are also interviewed for the program. The program is reported in detail in The National Times in its issue dated 21 July 1975 (but which is distributed at an earlier date).
1975: When the “Pederasty” program becomes a matter of controversy, the tapes of the program are destroyed along with any transcripts. Neither Allan Ashbolt nor Richard Neville nor any member of the ABC management report the pederasts to NSW Police or adopt a duty-of-care to the pederasts’ victims who, if alive today, would be in their fifties – i.e. around the same age as some complainants/victims who gave evidence to the Royal Commission Into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in recent years.
19 July 1975: In the wake of the “Pederasty” controversy, the ABC chairman Professor Richard Downing writes a letter to the Sydney Morning Herald defending the “Pederasty” program and calling on Australians to “understand” the urges of pederasts. Professor Downing’s letter is signed in his capacity as ABC chairman.
19 July 1975: The Sydney Morning Herald quotes Professor Downing as saying that “in general, men will sleep with young boys”.
1983: This is the ABC: The Australian Broadcasting Commission: 1932-1983 is published by Melbourne University Press. Its author, Ken Inglis, is given access to ABC records. In a segment titled “Permissiveness and Politics”, Ken Inglis documents the controversy concerning Richard Neville’s “Pederasty” program of eight years earlier but does not mention Neville’s name.
3 September 2015: Following the ABC’s widescale coverage of historical child sexual abuse in religious, secular and government organisations, Gerard Henderson writes to ABC chairman Jim Spigelman AO QC on 3 September 2015. His letter includes the following questions:
Professor Downing – one of your predecessors as ABC chairman – once called for an understanding of pederasty in his official capacity as ABC chairman. Are you prepared – on behalf of the ABC – to renounce the view expressed by Professor Downing in 1975? If not, why not?
On 4 September 2015, the ABC chairman replied as follows:
Dear Mr Henderson
I can think of nothing polite to say about your suggestion. I will content myself with the observation that mine is not an Apostolic Succession.
10 May 2017: Following the appointment of Justin Milne as ABC chairman, Gerard Henderson writes to him as follows:
In July 1975, Richard Downing – acting in his position as ABC chairman – took a public stand on the issue of pederasty. In a letter to the Sydney Morning Herald – published on 19 July 1975 – he called on Australians to “understand” the urges of pederasts. The letter was signed “Prof. R. Downing, Chairman, Australian Broadcasting Commission”. As you know, what was the Australian Broadcasting Commission was renamed the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1983. On the same day, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted the (then) ABC chairman as saying: “In general, men will sleep with young boys…”.
As the ABC’s contemporary chairman, will you disassociate the public broadcaster from comments made by Professor Downing – one of your predecessors – in 1975? If not, why not?
Does the ABC have any intention of ascertaining whether the victims of the three pederasts who appeared on the 1975 “Pederasty” program are alive today? If so, does the public broadcaster regard itself as having a duty of care with respect to these victims? If not, why not?
17 May 2017: Michael Millett, the ABC Director Government Relations, writes to Gerard Henderson on behalf of the ABC as follows:
The ABC feels there is nothing to be gained in revisiting this matter. The program and subsequent debate took place a long time ago and did not indicate nor set any kind of policy.
* * * * *
The ABC & Pedophilia: A Time Line leads to the following conclusions:
Both Jim Spigelman (the ABC’s past chairman) and Justin Milne (the ABC’s past chairman) did not accept any responsibility for the statements and inaction on pedophilia by Professor Richard Downing (when he was ABC chairman). This despite the fact that some ABC presenters and journalists have demanded that Anglican Church and Catholic Church leaders take responsibility for any inaction on pedophilia by their predecessors going back to the 1950s. There is no evidence that any Church leader made sympathetic statements on pedophilia of the kind made by Professor Downing, on behalf of the ABC, in 1975. If this had been the case, it surely would have been reported on the ABC.
Gerard Henderson will take up the statement of former ABC chairman Richard Downing with the new chair of the ABC when he or she is appointed.
* * * * *
Until next time.

After a swift backlash, newly appointed East Baton Rouge Parish schools Superintendent Sito Narcisse pulled back Thursday from an immediate shakeup of the district office, asking the School Board to approve just four new job descriptions instead of 24.
"I hear your voices and I hear your concerns," Narcisse told the School Board.
The four positions Narcisse settled for as a "starting point" are chief academic officer, chief of schools, chief operations officer and chief of staff.
"We must begin the work of making the district into one that focuses on students first," Narcisse said.
The vote on the four positions was 7-1, with only board member Dawn Collins voting "no." Board member Connie Bernard left the board shortly before the vote, saying she wasn't feeling well.
Narcisse said he is still interested in the other 20 job changes, but first wants to see a "transition report" examining the whole school district before he settles on a final list.
Thursday's night's request-turned-retreat was the first test of Narcisse's relationship with the board, which narrowly voted to appoint him last week.
The Washington, D.C. educator is trying to move quickly to start hiring people for his team, including people he knows from the many school districts he’s worked in outside Louisiana.
Meanwhile, district administrators in existing jobs subject to revision would have to reapply for their old jobs or seek other positions in the school district.
Sito Narcisse, chief of secondary schools in Washington, D.C., was chosen as East Baton Rouge Parish superintendent Thursday night, edging out…
Narcisse won the job only a week ago in a 5-4 vote, edging out Adam Smith, a 24-year veteran of the parish school system.
The proposed job changes were added Wednesday to the School Board agenda. Normally they would go through the board’s Committee of the Whole before having a final vote two weeks later. The next Committee of the Whole is not scheduled until Feb. 4.
Alarm spread quickly through parts of the local education community in advance of Thursday's meeting.
Board member Dadrius Lanus decried what he described as misinformation being spread about what was really being proposed. But Tia Mills, president of the Louisiana Association of Educators, blamed Narcisse for any misinformation.
“The rhetoric and mania was out there because there was no transparency,” Mills said.
Angela Reams-Brown, president of the East Baton Rouge Federation of Educators, said Narcisse's original proposal was a non-starter.
“I could not agree to 24 positions added to the Central Office while our teachers and support workers haven’t seen a raise in years,” Reams-Brown said.
Narcisse’s employment contract was signed Monday by outgoing board President Mike Gaudet. In years past, the board approved the negotiated contract. In this case, the board gave board leadership permission to strike a contract with Narcisse without requiring a vote on the final contract.
Narcisse, a 45-year-old native of Long Island, N.Y., started Monday, the date the contract was signed — an earlier version of the contract posted online showed a Feb. 1 start date. The contract expires on June 30, 2024. That's a span of 40 months.
Narcisse’s base salary is $255,000 a year. That’s the same salary that Leslie Brown was paid before she resigned the superintendent’s position in October for undisclosed medical reasons, just two months after starting. It’s also slightly less than the $257,000 a year that Brown’s predecessor, Warren Drake, was making when he retired in July.
A divided East Baton Rouge Parish School Board on Wednesday approved a three-year contract for new superintendent Leslie Brown that will pay h…
Brown’s contract and Narcisse’s are almost identical. In an interview Thursday, Narcisse said that he's fine with Brown’s contract.
“I understand that the district just negotiated a contract and I just want to make it as easy as possible,” he said.
Narcisse, who has spent the past 18 months as chief of secondary schools for Washington, D.C. Public Schools, said he is continuing to do that job as well through Jan. 29 to help transition those who will take over his duties. He said his new job pays represents a small pay raise over his D.C. job.
The contract covers moving expenses for Narcisse — Brown already had a family home in Baton Rouge. He said he’s in the process of looking for a house here for his family to live.
As for the proposed job description changes, Narcisse said he wants to have people in place to allow schools to focus on their core work.
“I’m putting positions in place that can help support schools so we can move the needle for kids,” Narcisse said.
Narcisse defended the job changes, saying they won’t cost any additional money overall, though he did not lay out the underlying math.
“It’s all budget neutral,” he said.
Besides the uncertain cost, another sticking point has been Narcisse's unwillingness thus far to release an organizational chart. He had said earlier Thursday that he would make a new chart available at Thursday's meeting, but changed his mind, saying it's still a work in progress.
Narcisse said he has some hires he's likely to make from outside the district, but said some insiders will be promoted, producing a healthy "mix" of both.
Board member Mike Gaudet said East Baton Rouge has moved too slowly since he joined the board in 2017 in making needed changes and urged fellow board members to give Narcisse a chance to do that. Gaudet also said the proposed job positions changes have been mischaracterized.
“This is not a 'bust the budget,' this is not bringing in a horde of people from the outside," Gaudet said.
Collins, however, said the board had too little time to review prior to Thursday's meeting to digest the proposed changes. Collins said Narcisse has the duty of figuring out how best to communicate effectively with the board that just hired him. But she said she's willing to let it pass and try again.
"This is a case of people learning how to communicate more effectively with each other, because this is a new relationship," she said.
A native of Long Island, N.Y, and the son of Haitian immigrants with no evident ties to Louisiana or work experience here has vaulted into the…
Finding a chief academic officer is a top priority.
Narcisse, who has just three years of classroom experience, lacks the minimum five years in the classroom needed to automatically receive certification as superintendent under Louisiana law. A workaround is to hire a chief academic officer who has the credentials Narcisse lacks, which Narcisse said he’s going to do. Narcisse, however, also plans to seek a waiver from the state from the teaching requirement, but is not sure when that will be heard.
Both Tatman and Collins voted last week for Smith to be superintendent over Narcisse. Tatman has already served twice as board president for a total of four years, while this is Collins' first time in board leadership since she joined the board in 2016.
Gaudet, who has held the top board post for the past two years, has decided not to seek the job again. So has Tramelle Howard, who has held the vice presidency since May 2019.

Replica of King Tut’s tomb to be re-erected
Published on October 10th, 2013 | by Admin0
Director and Chief Engineer of Factum Arte Michael Ward said that Tutankhamun’s replica tomb took three years to complete and involved the invention of a new technology to record every inch of the tomb and perfectly replicate it.
The ministry has long supported the idea of building replicas of the royal tombs that are currently closed, or need to be closed to the public for their protection, at Theban Necropolis, according to president of the Factum Foundation James Macmillan-Scott.

THE inspirational chairman of a college for young adults with learning difficulties has been named on the Queen’s New Year Honours list.
Peter Hickson, 61, of Middlewich, who has steered the Petty Pool Trust for 30 years will be made a MBE for services to young people.
The award recognises his dogged determination and strong leadership which has changed the lives of hundreds of youngsters.
The trust, which was run out of a mobile office on Winsford Industrial Estate when Peter took charge, is now based in a 40-acre forest site in Sandiway near Northwich.
The further education college offers specially designed vocational training and entry-level qualifications in art and media, hospitality and catering, retail, ICT, horticulture, animal care and independent living skills.
It is also one of only a handful of Cheshire businesses to hold the Investor in People Gold Standard award.
Peter said: “I’m delighted and honoured to receive this award and will continue to work with the trust to take it forward.”
Trust chief executive Peter Evans MBE paid tribute.
He said: “The success of the trust would not have been possible without Peter and his wife Sandra.
“76% of our students go on to meaningful work after attending the college compared with a national average of around just 6%.
“On behalf of the board, the staff and the students, I’d like to congratulate Peter on this deserved award and thank him for putting the trust where it is today.
“He has steered the ship excellently.”

So I got almost all of the lemons (left some to use fresh) and cut them in half. Got my juicer and ignoring the burning sensation from the cuts in my hands I made more than 1 liter of juice that I then strained. Being a clumbsy person I thought it would be dificult to poor the juice into those ice cube bags without spiling but actually I did quite well! Yeah!!!!! Off they went to the frezzer and I now have enough lemon juice for ice-teas, granitas, sorbets, etc, for a while. Plus divided like that into convinient cubes/doses it's much easier to use. I guess I was having my "2 minutes smart time" I'm awarded each month...
- LEMON ICE TEA
- 1 frozen lemon juice cube (the juice of 1/2 lemon I'm guessing)
- 1 bag black tea
- 1 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
- Ice cubes
Make the tea and dissolve the sugar while it's still hot. Add the lemon juice and adjust the sugar if you think it needs. Poor over ice cubes and serve or store it in the fridge for later.

The relationship of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott has been akin to a modern day fairytale.
I can’t explain it, but I am fascinated by their relationship. Mesmerised. When Kylie released her pregnancy video following the birth of their daughter, Stormi, I watched it 10 times consecutively and still wanted more. It’s their quietly intimate moments in the video which had me captivated the most; the hand holding, wrapped up in each other on a couch as Kylie plays with Travis’ hair and him rubbing her leg as she got an ultrasound. Even now, months and hundreds of repeat viewings later: put it up in a cinema and I would be the first to buy a ticket.
So when I saw that they had graced the cover of GQ in a shoot that mimicked the iconic photos taken of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, you can bet I read the article twice and watched the ‘How Well Does Travis Know Kylie’ video thrice. They reveal a lot about their lives together: from how they met and quickly fell in love, to their nicknames for Stormi and favourite midnight snack.
Talking about how they met, the couple reveal they didn’t go on dates, instead preferring to just literally go all in after meeting at Coachella. Kylie said, “Coachella was one of the stops on his tour. So he said, ‘I'm going back on tour—what do we want to do about this?’ Because we obviously liked each other. And I was like, 'I guess I'm going with you.' So I just went on tour." And the rest, it seems, is history.
I am told by people who are far more familiar with the human gestation period than I am that Kylie and Travis would have been together for a week before she got pregnant with Stormi. To be honest with you, I’m still processing this news as even to me, an aggressive Kylie and Travis stan, that seems quite fast. I’m choosing to believe ‘when you know, you know’ but also this could just be a recipe for disaster.
In line with the ‘they will go the distance’ belief, is the fact that they’re clearly willing to do what they need to in order to make it work. They’re not immune from disagreements, and Kylie also revealed that as they were conducting interviews for the cover story, they had a fight while Travis was in Houston and she in Calabasas, “Me and Travis got in a little fight. Which is normal...It wasn't even about anything really specific. I was just overwhelmed. And then we made up an hour later. I just flew to Houston to see him for a few hours.
“I was like, I just need to go. I didn't tell anyone where or why. Just because we're a family now. When we fight, it's usually just because we've been away from each other for too long and we didn't see each other for like two weeks. And we have Stormi now, and I can't travel with her. She's too young. So it's harder to see each other, but I was like, I just need to go and fix this and go back.”
They also spoke about the Kardashian Curse: the belief that any man who dates one of the sisters inevitably gets burnt by the experience. Kylie agrees that she thinks it’s a real phenomenon, but only because people can’t handle the level of fame the sisters have. It’s why she and Travis go to such lengths to keep their relationship as private as possible.
“I don't think he's really cool with it, but he deals with it,” she explained, “because we love each other and we have a family. For sure, I know he doesn't like the attention. That's why we just go the extra mile to keep our relationship super private, or like, if he has events or something, I won't come. Because I want him to do his own thing. I want him to be him. I don't want it to be Kylie and Trav. If people don't ever see us together, that's okay with me, because we just do our thing.”
And my God, do they do it well.

Maserati aims to increase sales fivefold by 2018.
As part of their new strategy to sell 75,000 cars per year in 2018, and open the brand to more customers, Maserati will open about 100 dealerships worldwide next year, including 20 more in the U.S. By the end of 2015, it will have 450 dealers worldwide, up from the current 355.
Speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Maserati Chief Harald Wester said that the Italian brand is looking to open 20 more dealerships in the United States at certain parts where the Maserati brand is not available. At the moment, Maserati has 79 dealerships in the U.S. which are mostly located in places like Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Florida and the East Coast, Chicago, Dallas and Houston.
With plans to open new dealerships and a new lineup that includes the new Quattroporte, Ghibli, and the upcoming Levante SUV and Alfieri sports car launching in a few years, the Italian manufacturer seems to have a plan set in motion to increase sales nearly fivefold by 2018.

We now welcome many groups with younger retirees in their 50s but groups that first came with two decades ago are still booking with us today and they haven’t gotten any younger! So it’s increasingly important to give you the clearest idea possible of how much walking is involved with each trip. There’s no such thing as a day out with no walking at all. We have measured pretty much every step you’ll take including getting on and off the coach to go into pubs for coffee and lunch as well as any walking that forms part of the guided tour and visits. Please remember that you don’t do all the walking in one go, it is spread throughout the day with opportunities to sit down wherever possible. If there is a walking tour it is always taken at a relaxing pace and we will generally do the bulk of any walking in the morning when the legs are fresh and then balance the day with a coach tour or cruise in the afternoon.
To help visualise the distances we are using the Olympic running track. One complete circuit is 400 metres (nigh on 400 yards). So the track symbol with three inside means thrice around the track or 1200 metres. You might have some folk who choose to walk more during a day, at lunchtime for example, but the most you’d have to walk as a minimum on the day is 1200 metres. This isn’t all that far when you think about it as just popping to the corner shop for a paper might score a one on our walking chart! Four times round the track is 1600 metres/yards or approximately one mile and some trips rate a five or even a six because they are designed to be walking tours spending much of the day off the coach but remember the walking isn’t done all in one go, it is spread out through the day and there are always opportunities to sit down or rest.
The Forgotten Essex Explorer rates a 5 on our walking scale which means the equivalent of five times around the track. But don’t be put off by the higher rating -
If you have folk with profound walking difficulties we’d always recommend bringing a wheelchair in the back of the coach. An individual who can get on and off a standard coach with help can tackle any of our itineraries using a wheelchair and they can take part in a group day out in comfort.
Always tell us if you are bringing a wheelchair user so that we can make any notifications that are necessary.
The coach mileage logo on each day trip shows the amount of mileage the coach will do once you have met the guide and the tour commences. You can use this as an indicator when speaking with your local coach company for a quote for one of our trips.

For this week in our series on current trends in horror movies we take a look at “A Quiet Place” (2018), John Krasinski’s directorial debut. The film got a lot of attention on its release in theaters a couple years ago. Since then it has gained even more popularity with online viewers, and rightly so. Although fairly mild in terms of violence and gore, this film makes you care deeply about its small group of characters while thrusting them into incredibly suspenseful situations. It’s one of those rare movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Remarkably, Krasinski achieves all this with what is essentially a silent film.
Set several months into a dystopian future where the world has become infested with strange predators that strike and kill at the slightest sound, the movie focuses on a family of five who struggle to survive by remaining as quiet as possible in order to avoid detection by the monsters. Krasinski plays the nameless father character, and his real-life wife Emily Blunt plays the nameless mother.
Both adult actors do excellent work in their roles as caring but terrified parents; however, the real standout star of this film – the one who makes this film truly something special – is the young actress Millicent Simmonds who plays the family’s oldest daughter. Her character is hearing impaired, as is Simmonds.
This brilliant juxtaposition of a deaf girl with an alien species that has superhuman hearing pushes the movie into new and compelling territory. What might ordinarily be seen as a disability suddenly emerges as an unexpectedly powerful tool for survival in this post-apocalypse. The family can already communicate using sign language, so they’ve readily learned how to make their home a quiet place that will escape notice.
Once the movie establishes the need for absolute quiet to avoid quick death, every creaking floorboard and carelessly dropped item elevates the tension. Not only that, but even ordinary items capable of producing loud noises become objects of dread in this film. Indeed, one of the most incredible things about this movie is its ability to make normal domestic activities fraught with danger. Even siblings playing an innocent board game can summon mortal danger.
I don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to give anything away, but as with last week’s film, I’d ask you to be attentive to the soundtrack of this film, paying special attention to how diegetic and non-diegetic sounds and music are used in this movie. Remember that “diegetic” film elements are things that we understand as existing as part of the fictional world inhabited by the characters. For example, sounds that the characters can hear. By contrast, “non-diegetic” film elements are aspects of the movie that are part of the viewer’s experience but are understood as not existing to the characters. An example of a non-diegetic element would be the score, or “mood music,” in a film like the creepy soundtrack of “Hereditary.”
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you’re in for a real treat. I can’t wait to hear what you think. Don’t forget to read through my discussion questions before you watch it. Then, sit back and enjoy this incredible thrill ride.

The mother of Hana Kimura, a former cast member of the popular reality TV show “Terrace House,” said Thursday she will file a lawsuit next year against the show’s Japanese broadcaster and a production company seeking compensation for the suicide of her daughter.
Speaking at a news conference in Tokyo with her lawyer, Kyoko Kimura said she wanted Fuji Television Network Inc. and the production company to “sincerely” investigate the reason for her daughter’s suicide, adding that a week or so before her death, Hana had said the producers “don’t treat the cast like human beings.”
Hana Kimura, 22, was among the six cast members of the 2019-2020 season of “Terrace House Tokyo.” The professional wrestler was found dead at her apartment in Tokyo in May 2020 after becoming the target of a barrage of hateful messages on social media. The show has since been canceled.
As a preliminary step to the suit, her 44-year-old mother has filed a motion with the Tokyo District Court to preserve evidence including unreleased footage from the show, which was also aired on U.S. streaming service Netflix with English subtitles.
The court last Friday ordered the production company to present material such as unedited tapes and scripts. According to the lawyer, it is unusual for the court to issue such an order.
The company, which plans to contest the order, has declined from commenting while the case is pending.
Kyoko Kimura has been continuing her efforts to identify and seek damages from those who posted hateful comments about her daughter, with two men indicted and fined so far.
In May, the Tokyo District Court also awarded her about ¥1.29 million ($11,300) in damages from a man who posted hateful messages about her daughter after her death.
Kimura also filed a complaint in July 2020 to the Broadcasting Ethics & Program Improvement Organization claiming the reality show violated her daughter’s personal and human rights.
In March, the organization concluded the show was ethically problematic.

You have driven to a dozen destinations on your quest to discover new places. You have gone by air to new countries and different continents. Through trains and trams, on foot or even astride an animal, new worlds and cultures have revealed themselves to you in your vast travels. Now, it is definitely time for a watery adventure, and the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has just the right transport for you.
Evrima is the name of the first 623-foot cruise liner in the collection that is set to sail this August with paid passengers over the Mediterranean. Two bigger superyachts, Ilma and Luminara, are scheduled to join the collection in 2024 and 2025 respectively.
Should you be considering a different kind of experience aboard the Evrima, here’s what to expect
1. Large, airy rooms with lavish interiors.
There are a total of 149 rooms that can take up to 298 guests. Each of them has been outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and private balconies making the big rooms appear even larger. Several loft suites offering two stories of space are also available, but if you’re a family or a large group, you can choose to have neighbouring suites combined for a bigger accommodation.
Don’t be afraid to create your own kind of fun in the safety of your room. RItz-Carlton says the walls of the rooms on the Evrima are soundproof, so 100% privacy is assured.
3. Luxurious lodgings.
It’s the Ritz-Carlton after all, so expecting anything less is nothing short of scandalous.
Regulars will find that the brand’s signature king-size beds, double-vanity bathrooms and high-thread-count linens, among other comforts, are all present on the Evrima.
4. Intimate onshore excursions and tours.
You did not think you would just be sailing all over the world, drinking rich wines out of exquisitely-crafted glasses at all-night parties now, did you?
Most voyages will range from 7 to 10 days and, depending on the season, Evrima will visit the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central America and South America. Destinations along the way will vary from Spain’s Balearic Islands to the French Riviera, the Costa Rican coastlines, Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, St. Barts and more.
At each destination, you’ll be able to partake in intimate group tours from the hotel’s elevated Shore Collection. Experiences include truffle hunting in Croatia, exclusive tours of the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, and exploring the glamour of the French Riviera in a vintage car.
Of course, if you’d rather explore independently, the “Concierge Ashore” team can assist with lining up private experiences or bespoke events by working with local guides to create a more immersive, personalized journey.
5. Exclusive onboard experiences.
Ritz-Carlton has worked hard to ensure that there will be no dull moment on your trip. You would be able to indulge in deliciously decadent dishes on the yacht’s signature restaurant, S.E.A, led by acclaimed chef Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, a three-star Michelin restaurant at the Ritz Carlton, Wolfsburg.
Looking to relax and rejuvenate on your journey? Try the carefully curated ESPA spa treatments available.
In terms of pricing, rates for a room may vary depending on your destination. A seven-day Caribbean voyage aboard Evrima starts from $5,100 per person in a double-occupancy suite. Evrima, as well as the yet-to-debut Ilma and Luminara, will all be available for private charters.
