The Castle Hill Rebellion, also known as the Second Battle of Vinegar Hill, occurred on March 4th and 5th, 1804, in New South Wales, Australia. It was a pivotal moment in Australia's early colonial history, driven by a mix of political unrest, social inequality, and the desire for freedom among the oppressed convicts and Irish political prisoners.

The catalyst for the rebellion was the oppressive conditions endured by convicts and the lack of rights they faced under British rule. Many convicts were transported to Australia for petty crimes, yet they were subjected to harsh treatment, limited freedoms, and forced labor. Additionally, Irish political prisoners, who were often leaders in rebellion, added fuel to the growing discontent.

Under the leadership of William Johnston, a former Irish rebel, and Philip Cunningham, a convict, a plan to overthrow British authority was devised. The rebels aimed to seize control of key locations, including Parramatta and Sydney, and establish a free settlement.

At the beginning of March, 2024, I join Monty in celebrating Irish month. 

There are many men and women who hail from Ireland and have made lives in other countries over the decades. We are a few days short of St Patrick's Day, but we must start with a bit of a shout out to one of the most intriguing women in Irish and Australian history. 

Today, I celebrate one woman of Irish heritage and the men who made her life notorious.The woman who was Ned Kelly's mother. I can think of no more fitting person to start our journey.

It is a story of a very hard life, probably almost typical for many women of that era but a story worth the telling on its own merits.

Ellen Kelly was born Ellen Quinn in the town of Ballymena on the northern tip of Ireland in County Antrim, not far from The Devil’s Causeway, in 1832. She died in 1923, aged 91.

In the dying days of Julia Gillard’s government, her communications minister, Steve Conroy, brought in two bills to regulate the media, or more succinctly, to nobble the Murdoch press. 

After all, the 2013 election was only months away and the Murdoch stable much more often than not gave Labor a hard time.

Murdoch’s cheeky Daily Telegraph mocked up a picture of Conroy in Stalin’s uniform. Outraged progressives demanded an apology. The Tele apologised, but to Stalin not Conroy:

… we would just like to say: We’re sorry, Joseph.

Yes, it is true that Stalin was a despicable and evil tyrant who was responsible for the death of many millions. However, at least he was upfront in his efforts to control the media instead of pretending he supported free speech and then suggesting that cheeky, satirical or provocative newspaper coverage might be against the law.

We also note that, despite his well-documented crimes against humanity, Stalin at least managed to hold a government together for more than three years. Nonetheless, we pay tribute to our new Commissar Conroy and stand ready to write and publish whatever he instructs us to.

If your purse can survive the price of admission the world of gastronomy is open to all. Given advanced technologies in farming, food processing and kitchen know-how, most of us eat particularly well. Especially when compared to our ancestors, ancient and not quite so.
 
Stone Age Englishmen survived essentially from hunting and fishing. Neolithic remains found at Whitehawk Hill near Brighton, East Sussex, England, suggests that our distant brethren probably ate each other from time to time and washed the meal down with a type of beer. 
 
It wasn't until  3,000 years BC that the concept of farming drifted across the channel from Europe. The breeding of cattle, pigs, and sheep began about the same time.
 
Although the last Roman soldier left Britain in AD 407 they left behind a legacy of new foods, the concepts of some would last to the present day.
Apples, cherries, anchovy sauce, and wine were a few. Join me on a journey down history's byways and enjoy a course in historic dining.

When I received my new kettle a few days ago, it whistled and yelled loudly that it had arrived.    Poor Shaydee was very upset at the noise.   Noise has become something that many people no longer like.   Especially when it is shrill and high pitched.   Like so many young people today.   So many lefties love to screech.   Maybe, like my kettle, they are just letting off steam?    Perhaps they are frustrated because they are told what to think and not how to think. 

Have you ever wondered how and why the Youth of today are  holding rallies ,  their loud voices proclaiming all sorts of alarming predictions for the future.   Using people like Greta Thunberg to speak with fire and brimstone about the end of the world.   Pretending that young kindergarten  children  have important things to say about what they think the future holds.   Even using "old white  men " who should know better to say the end is nigh!      People who are easily conned into believing things that all the Scientists are telling us is untrue. 

Maybe young people today are like my kettle? Screaming and letting off steam because no one will let them have ambition and think for themselves.

Yesterday, Pauline Hanson did something that many might think as being very clever. Others? Not so much. She announced that former Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who had lost membership in the Liberal Party, and had become the leader of Clive Palmer's United Australia Party, had defected from Clive and joined her in order to get traction in the NSW parliament. So where does that leave us? 

How one can summarise what has happened in one sentence is a tough ask. But that is about the best I can do. For now. 

Was it a good move? For Pauline or for Craig? For myself, I genuinely don't know. I do have to ask myself if Clive is the big loser. Or, perhaps, could Craig and Pauline have benefited from Clive's financial input? What a pudding fest this is. The situation is certainly a bit of a quandry.

Should one laugh or cry at the news ABC is dumping its so-called “fact checkers” at RMIT University? ABC news director Justin Stevens emailed staff last week explaining that the national broadcaster’s seven-year partnership with RMIT won’t be renewed. [Cue laughter]. But Stevens also announced that the ABC would set up an in-house “fact-check” unit called ABC News Verify [Cue tears].

ABC News Verify – doubtless modelled on “BBC Verify” which launched a year ago – will maintain the rage against whatever contradicts the ABC’s version of truth-telling. For example, that renewables are cheapest, Trump won in 2016 by colluding with Putin, men can become women and vice versa, and Dark Emu author Bruce Pascoe, Australia’s leading fauxborigine, is of Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian Aboriginal ancestry.[1]

The revelation that Argentina has done something the US government hasn’t done in more than two decades—run a budget surplus—seems like a newsworthy event. So why the silence?

Argentines witnessed something amazing last week: the government’s first budget surplus in nearly a dozen years.

The Economy Ministry announced the figures Friday, and the government was $589 million in the black.

Argentina’s surplus comes on the heels of ambitious cuts in federal spending pushed by newly-elected President Javier Milei that included slashing bureaucracy, eliminating government publicity campaigns, reducing transportation subsidies, pausing all monetary transfers to local governments, and devaluing the peso.

Back in February, 2020 President Trump held a Rally in Colorado. He said  “Can we get movies like ‘Gone with the Wind’ back, please?” when referring to the then recent Academy Awards. 

Now, this famous movie has been deemed offensive and has been pulled from streaming services. So much has changed in the past 4 years, hasn't it? 

It is well worth looking at this masterpiece in light of the current insanity that has turned our world upside down with racial division, rioting and destruction of history. " Gone with the wind " is a stark portrayal of human nature and how we were, are and always will be.

Why wasn't  Breaker Morant’s poetry taught to us oldies in school? Is it fair to say that this talented Bush Poet, Harry Harbord (Breaker) Morant, was thrown under the bus by Lord Kitchener? 

Kitchener sacrificed Breaker ( and Handcock) in order to mollify the Germans over the killing of a German missionary and to shift the blame of all the death and destruction from himself and the British. 

As a result, Breaker's remarkable legacy as a poet was lost because of political scapegoating. His gifted work as a bush poet is largely unknown and therein lies a great tragedy.

Are they all interconnected? Were Canada and Australia set up back in 2015? 

Did the press have a role to play in the destruction of Tony Abbott in Australia and Stephen Harper in Canada? 

Was the overthrow of them part of a global domination takeover? 

The relentless character assassination? 

How could this happen? 

Did the hard left villify and destroy them? Let's face it. If you want to speak out against the " movement " and speak for the " will of the people " you are doomed these days. 

It is all about minority rights, climate change and global government, isn't it?
