Blogger’s Note: Aussie guts on show once again. An incredible display of what we call in England of “grace under pressure”. Of course, the same

Australia: Penal Colony Descendent “Digs Himself in Deep Hole” – Korean War Gold Rock Revealed as Worthless Space Debris! (29.11.2025)
A rock the size of a stout Jack Russell (a breed of dog in the UK – small, fierce, brave, loyal, and strong) – but weighing more or less the same as a Great Dane (another – but huge – breed of dog) – was mistaken by an Aussie as a “gold nugget”. Perhaps it’s not the rock that needs testing! Still, all he has been left with is a piece of worthless space debris that landed on Earth during 1951 (in June – the time of the Aussie Winter) – which turns-out to be the same age as the Earth is old – namely “4.6 million” years old!. I am reliably told by a medical colleague that Aussies are only “technically sober” during the first three months of their lives – when the motor-skills have not yet developed to lift the hand to the mouth. Gold is a lightweight and malleable mettle, which is rare, soft, and highly pliable. This meteorite, by way of comparison, is heavy, hard, and requires a Ford Cortina just to move it any significant distance.
Australia: Study Monitors Impact of World’s First Social Media Ban on Teens! (14.10.2025)
In fact, I was taught “key-boarding” (on manual typewriters) from the late 1970s at school in the UK, and started using electric typewriters and word-processors from the early 1980s. Therefore, developed States have been conditioning their young population since the 1970s to be computer literate and to depend physically and psychologically upon computer technology. Since 2010, touch-screen and ipad technology has moved on and caused a much stronger cementing between young minds and the available technology. This is why I thoroughly disagree with any arbitrary form of Statist “banning” of technology that negatively affects the well-being of young people – who possess no political ability to fight such a ban. Such a ban is cruel, and counter-productive. Indeed, I believe such a ban is a form of child abuse – as when a young person is forcibly separated from their devices – very real psychological and physical pain is experienced.
Universal Postal Union [UNU]: 25 Countries Suspend Postal Services to US Over Tariffs! (28.8.2025)
Korea Post said it will halt sending air parcels and some express mail services to the U.S. starting Tuesday, while keeping premium services, operated via private couriers, available subject to customs duties.
Other countries including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Japan, also announced the suspension.
The U.S. media outlet NPR said eliminating de minimis shipments would hurt poorer Americans the most and — presaging the headaches that logistics companies are encountering this week — would be “an administrative nightmare,” citing a report released by the U.S. think tank Cato Institute.
Australia: Wastewater Analysis Reveals Record-High Levels of Illicit Drug-Taking! (15.8.2025)
ACIC Chief Executive Officer Heather Cook said in a statement that the consumed volume of methylamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and MDMA had an estimated street value of 11.5 billion Australian dollars (7.4 billion U.S. dollars), with methylamphetamine accounting for 8.9 billion Australian dollars (5.7 billion U.S. dollars).
“Serious and organized crime groups exploit Australia’s high demand for illicit drugs and are focused on maximising profit at the expense of the community’s security and wellbeing,” she said.
ACIC said its modelling suggests that increasing consumption of methylamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA will continue through to 2027, while the heroin market is not expected to change significantly for the next two years.
Australia: Most Targets to Reduce “Indigenous Disadvantage” Not on Track! (31.7.2025)
It said that progress has gone backwards on another four targets relating to Indigenous imprisonment and suicide rates, childhood development and the number of Indigenous children in out-of-home care.
“It is very concerning that we are still seeing outcomes worsening for incarceration rates, children in out-of-home care and suicide,” Malarndirri McCarthy, the federal minister for Indigenous Australians, said in a statement.
The report found that the age-standardized suicide rate of Indigenous Australians increased from 23.6 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 30.8 per 100,000 people in 2023. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the suicide rate for the entire Australian population in 2023 was 11.8 per 100,000 people.
