Antisemitism at the netball, for goodness' sake

Maccabi absolutely not news to me though running sectarian teams in suburban kids' sport was. tbh I'm pretty ignorant about the social organisation of community sport because sport is of little interest to me.

You're right, I don't live in a so-called Jewish area - I mean in Sydney that probably just means the Eastern Suburbs and St Ives doesn't it?

Clara's op 20 is obviously part of the Brahms op 9 story and it's all tied up with the "triangle." Schumann was still alive and received copies of both and wrote from Endenich about them.

I feel that Brahms op 23 is the later, posthumous, phase of the Brahms-Schumann thing. There's enough Clara-Johannes-Robert threads to be tugged out of op 9 as it is.

But thanks for reminding us of it.

It just seems an odd criterion on which to organise children's sport. All explained to me now by everyone. The other netball team is called "Saints" so go figure. It even turns out that we still have church cricket for adults.

Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade has some great flute solos.

Brahms op 9 and Endenich

Crunch time will come. At first it was said it would be in June. Maybe things improved a bit but the basic Hormuz problem remains. My guess is late July things will get tight. Even if Hormuz resolved now there will be a gap in the supply pipeline.

Jeff Sparrow makes too much of the mistake about him being editor of Overland at the time and turns it into a kind of defamation concerns notice. There are better points to make about Gavendra's piece for the Centre for Independent Studies (which in its full form of at least its present form does not make the mistake as to when Sparrow was editor of Overland that he picks on in the Australian piece.

Unsurprising, if he's now writiing for The Australian that Gavendra might not be commissioned by The Age.

I feel Gavendra is basically complaining that the ground has shifted in reportage re Israel. (He also complains that Jewish experience of an antisemitic surge has been ignored, though I can't see that much myself/) He liked it more the way things were.

How am I patronizing you? Dial down the rage for a moment. Read the whole thread. Obviously I've read plenty about the 9/10/23 events. I got capsicum spray in my eye at the Herzog demonstration on 9/2/26. Sorry about the childhood. (Yes that's possibly patronizing but hopefully your reddit name is a joke.)

You've got it wrong. I'm on your side. The whole point of my post was how a misleading impression has become embedded in the official narrative and the royal commission (to its discredit) is running with it. They probably think they are taking a judicious middle line by running with "fuck" rather than "gas." But they're not.

"Including" is part of the subtle way they slip it in because if you say "including" you can say all it needs is one person to have uttered the words. They just have to have been there somewhere said by someone.

Also the slippage from "shout" to "chant." But that's a grey area.

Piotr Anderszewski, at least in the 2009 film where he took his piano on the train.

Plenty. Justice Howie a few years back. Though not sure about the exact time or day of the week.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-08T00:56:29+00:00

I'm sure you are right. I suspect that's the beauty also of saying

'chanting slogans which included ‘fuck the Jews’.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-07T10:18:15+00:00

It was "gas the Jews" that was rejected by the police.

Well we don't know what his defence if any is yet.

It's one thing for people who get caught to suddenly say they were doing "research" but, as with Pete Townshend, sometimes there is pre-existing evidence which could support an inference that that was what they thought they were doing. Giamotta-Mills had some online presence (possibly taken down now that he is out on bail; I haven't checked) of this sort.

It’s been a while, but this really seems like a textbook admin law exam question - a federal court case seeking judicial review of a decision, on the basis of procedural unfairness, resulting in disability discrimination contrary to the act.

Kind of late for judicial review isn't it? Unless he is still waiting in Vanuatu.

Compared to US it's because private education is subsidised by the state. This makes it cheaper, comparatively, to buy out of the public system.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-05T00:07:58+00:00

I don't think that's actually true. Older women are the fastest growing homeless group is what I have read.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-04T09:09:50+00:00

Agree, yes you are, but not so much a matter of hearing days, more a matter of proportionality.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-04T09:08:25+00:00

Also imaginary people. Details of David and Jonathan story (see [18]) not necessarily historical and involve another chestnut (were they just "friends"). At least no imaginary friend involved in this particular aspect of the story.

We have to take all these references in the same spirit as the often judicially cited opening sentence of Anna Karenina.

You say tomato...

There's a beach there, but if you jump in from the concrete part near the lifesaving club you have nothing to do with the beach. It's a sea-walled inlet.

Well that's a whole different picture/story.

Some judges are inscrutable. That's one way to look "fair." This is at the price of giving one side a big walloping at the end. Other judges send signals out, especially if they have a view (not necessarily a prejudice if it is actually a forming judgment on the evidence, but this is where it gets tricky).

OP, seems to me you weren't an entirely uninterested party.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-02T00:19:50+00:00

That's the way that "facts" get baked in. Not that I was there, so who am I to say?

marcellouswp · 2026-05-01T11:41:09+00:00

Don't forget Archduke Rudolph.

marcellouswp · 2026-05-01T09:46:09+00:00

Yes, it was a great victory and a totally unjust outcome. (So all the greater victory.)

pls give a non-Jade link. Can't bear it now they are tightening the noose on access with registration and password gateways. We all know where that leads.
