Average blended ticket price in US is around 18 bucks a ticket. $20 adult, $18 senior and $16 child.
That means less than 2300 people have gone to see it.
Question?
Who are they? Name them!
Shhhh! Don’t tell JC. 🙂
What else would you expect from Qantas? But the fact remains that over 10 million people are members and every one of them will get an email from QF with the advert embedded.
Some will simply disregard, others don’t want Australia to open until ‘everyone’ is vaccinated……but there will be several millions of whom this will stir up their longing to travel. Coupled with Scotty’s remarks about 80% vaccination, it creates serious expectation.
I think Morrison and Co are probably toast anyway, but this is another front.
Separately, who was the dimwit that named it the National Cabinet? Why not the States’ Advisory Panel or the National Covid Response Panel or something similar. Even the name evokes delusions of grandeur for the Premiers. Anyway, I think it will be dissolved at 80% (or 75%) because Morrison needs to put some distance between him and the rogue Premiers that insist on continuing lockdowns.

I think your assumption that any of them want this to end and we get our freedoms back is a bit naive…

Nope.

Try again.
I give up.
As I said upthread, Morrison has an election coming. He knows that if he has any hope (repeat: any hope) of re-election, he must somehow be seen as the engineer in the relaxation of the assorted rules. He lost control of the National Cabinet and some of those premiers will/are actively working to undermine the federal government.
At a minimum, he has to neuter the most rabid premiers and make them responsible for lockdowns in their respective states. Deflect blame for the rules/lockdowns etc back to them once we reach a certain vaccination percentage.
The commentary has already started where Morrison is saying that “we must learn to live with covid” and “we cannot live in a cave forever” and “this is unsustainable” etc. Those comments will become more strident as the vaccination rate increases – it is the opening moves to isolate Palacechook, Dan and McGowan.
Wake up and sniff the breeze. Never get between a politician and their re-election.
Raining hard. In Darwin.

once we reach a certain vaccination percentage. It’s all about vaccination % ??
Never get between a politician and their re-election. To which I’d say “never get between a politician and a bag of money”. What are the financial arrangements between Big Pharma and our politicians? I heard Jeanette Young (Qld CHO) saying the other day that everyone over 16 has to get the Pfizer “vaccine” yet I’ve heard her hubby has a financial arrangement (“consultant”) with the same company. How many of the others have similar “arrangements”?

The demorats will never lose another election and in calishitia one of the best black conservative candidates, Larry Elder, already described by the media cockroaches as the black face of white supremacy, will miss out.
What concerns me is not demorat cheating, but dumb people who do vote for them and the impotency of the GOP in stopping this shit.
We will increasingly see the same thing happen here. The conservatives still think there are rules.
William Briggs is a great statistician and sceptic; here is his analysis of the ridiculous, latest IPCC report on climate:
“You can never be fired for being wrong in the right direction. The Experts making statements about how dire the climate is have been wrong for decades, and they are still wrong in their sparkling new IPCC Climate Assessment Report 6 released Monday. Now, as then, they warn that “extremes” are on their way. They haven’t got here yet, but they’re coming. They’re always coming.”

bugmen make an example of pusey
The corporate regulator has banned Porsche driver Richard Pusey, who filmed police officers as they were dying, from the credit and financial services for 10 years after finding he “has no regard for the law”.
…
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said it was satisfied that Pusey provided seven false statements to it in documents lodged with the regulator between 2011 and 2017.
It said that in addition to having no regard for the law Pusey also “lacks the attributes of good character, honesty, and judgement”, could not be relied upon to comply with directions from authorities, was likely to break credit and financial services laws and “is not a fit and proper person to participate in the financial services and credit industries”.
Like so many of us, these days. I’m getting less and less respect for the law, too.
I have succumb to base desires.
Outside the wind is bending the trees back and forth like kelp in the surf, the sky has changed from a pearl to a drab grey, and the rain beats insistently against the window.

cohenite, Briggs says nothing of significance in that post. He’s also wrong – lying actually – about the “consensus” of global cooling in the 1970’s.
You’re sounding desperate, basically because you know you’ve backed the wrong horse and you don’t know how to save face.
I was thinking earlier today, you know how you can tell that science contrarians have lost an argument? When they convert no one in the profession to their view. Hence we see your continued reliance on the likes of Spencer, Cristy, Lindzen, Kininmonth, Curry: all ageing, with a complete lack of support from the mainstream and essentially no new converts in their field to their cause for, what, 20 or 30 years? If contrarian/minority views are right, they win support from others in their profession. It may take time, but evidence accumulates in their favour, and they eventually win. Is that the trajectory of climate science contrarians? No, it is not.
So we just get to watch the embittered repetition of long debunked proofs that climate change isn’t real, or is real but not due to humans. And you’re particularly good at sounding embittered.
Stevie

You must be young and naive not to be aware of the Coming Ice Age scare campaign of the 1970s. Even the BBC came out with a book The Weather Machine and the Threat of Ice. So perhaps it is just your ignorance which causes you to claim that there was no such campaign.
Go away and read some (non-revisionist) history, instead of relying on the self-interested claims of people with guilty consciences.

Agree strongly. Arguments from an opposing position are one thing. But SfB is just a dishonest, innumerate creep.
Stepford, you one trick pony. The Greenscum , which includes you (don’t even try to pretend you’re anything but a green slimeball) hobbled nuclear energy for ~50 years. You despicable rats destroyed that energy sector, which now if it had been left un-hobbled would have made gerbil warming more of academic debate than anything else because we would be swimming in very cheap and abundantly produced green (nuclear) energy. Now that you’ve hobbled it, you’re peddling propellers on sticks and plastic panels, which you tell us will provide enough energy for an advanced industrial civilization. Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. Here, you laughable clown.
Have you no sense of shame? The greens have nearly destroyed the industrialized economies.
Briggs says nothing of significance in that post. He’s also wrong – lying actually – about the “consensus” of global cooling in the 1970’s.
Sure, one of the best statisticians in the world, declared wrong by a troll.
I don’t rely on experts shithead, I am one, but if you had noticed I provided primary evidence about Relative Humidity, rainfall records, daily and intra-daily, as your little paper demanded, and Clausius Clapeyron. The C-C in fact is a perfect example of how alarmists get it wrong: theoretically it suits their narrative: hot air can hold more moisture so therefore its gonna rain heavier: I explained the physical process of evaporation doesn’t work that way and looked at pan evaporation decreasing, which when combined with declining RH conclusively proves the alarmists wrong no matter how many circular argued models proving the models right dickheads like you can fling around like polished turds.
And your point about the best climate guys in the world not being mainstream proves the point that alarmism is not a science issue: it is a political and ideological one with a lot of money involved. The media drives it with pet academics such as at James Cook uni which censored the best reef expert in the world, Peter Ridd, just they did with his predecessor Bob Carter. Politicians follow the media and the money and alarmism is now a giant ponzi scheme with the commies at the UN and in china laughing all the way to the bank. It’s one of the reasons Trump lost: he was cutting off the funding to this crap (along with the military complex).
The psychology of arseholes like you is basic: you’re a little shit who gains some meaning from saving the world and assuming a mantle of virtuous superiority and being able to scorn your betters like me.
Now FOAD.
Let us hope that Gina continues her generous support for the SAS victims of Campbell/Brereton outrage.
I particularly want to see the egregious Campbell destroyed in a court of law. It would be comforting to declare that his behaviour towards these men is unprecedented, but it is not. Morrisson was equally cavalier. He employed power rather than legal authority against dissenters.
No, I am perfectly aware of it, since I have been a avid reader of popular science all of my life, and was reading up about it in the 1970’s and 80’s.
What I don’t do – unlike you – is believe that, just because in the world of popular science and the press some prominence was given to one view in a field of study, this means that everyone working in the field agreed, and that it was a “consensus” position.
As this very detailed article from 2008 convincingly showed, as well as Stephen Schneider’s autobiographical book, there was never a consensus position in the world of actual climate science research that cooling was going to continue. The papers being written at the time were, by a great majority, about the potential for global warming.
So what that the press gave prominence to the “coming ice age” stories? Aren’t you the ones telling us the press isn’t always right? Not that they were telling lies; just by them emphasising one minority view within a field, they’ve caused people like you to think 50 years later that that was all that this field of science was saying.
That’s just so wrong, Cronkite. Green slimeballs like Stepford are not saving the world. They’re actually destroying it or doing the best they can to ruin the earth. They absolutely fucked up nuclear energy if dishonest, despicable anti-science bullshit and now they’re peddling dishonest , despicable antiscience nonsense like solar and wind. They aren’t just cretins, they’re evil scumbags.
Really, so what happened to nuclear energy in the 70s and 80s, you foul cretin? Don’t you ever, fucking speak about gerbil warming again until you apologize for what you’ve done to this industry. Silence.
Clearly the global warming morons like you Steve have no regard whatsoever for their precious prognostications. Despite 20+ years of panic mongering and billions spent on failed models and forecasts, with the availability of super computing to aid their argument, the climate change nutters still can’t produce a model remotely close to actual. Overshooting real temps by magnitudes every single time. Meanwhile, real temp averages that are essentially flat lining over decades are studiously ignored.
“In the profession”. Climate “science” has been discredited by reality. The only reason the climate “scientists” remain in the profession is for the truckloads of money handed to them from Govt’s. They are nothing more than parasites in that respect. The Australian electorate regularly rejects this hysteria from the left. Despite the panic the media and institutional propaganda tries to sell us. Because it’s crystal clear how much bs goes into the “science”, the climate change nutters are not to be trusted.
Stevie

You mean the way that “popular science and the press” give “some prominence” to the alarmist view in the gerbil worming field of study?
Stephen Schneider’s autobiographical book
You spelled “revisionist history” incorrectly.
That’s just so wrong, Cronkite. Green slimeballs like Stepford are not saving the world. They’re actually destroying it or doing the best they can to ruin the earth.
I was being ironic head prefect. My wit is wasted on the world.
We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination…
So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts…
Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
– Prof. Stephen Schneider,
Stanford Professor of Climatology,
lead author of many IPCC reports
That’s called lying.
Every projection regarding climate change will be wrong.
As the global population plateaus 20 years earlier than expected (if not 25 years), and then craters, half the issues that these alleged scientists go away.
You add more efficient methods of generating energy & nuclear to the mix, there literally will not be a problem.
The biggest issue is decreasing bio diversity.
That is a function of poor land management.
Example, due to ideological reasons you have a lack of hazard reduction, then a bushfire rips through & some of these ecosystems take a decade to recover.
the greens are funded by the chicoms
Poor water management is one of the biggest issues facing the world too.
In the west, you manage water resources terribly & then call it climate change.
I no longer have to rely on popular science and the press alone to convey what the position is in the field of climate science. I know now – because I can read directly the position statements of umpteen scientific bodies, and NASA, and (etc etc – too much support I have to bore you with) – that the prominence the press gives the “alarmist” view is in line with what climate scientists have concluded.
But you know that too; you’re just engaging in debating tactics.
I’m awaiting the TGA’s next weekly covid vaccine safety report. They at least seem to be playing with a straight bat.

Tell us, you school marm, have you read Shellenberger’s most recent book? How do you counter the statistical/analytical work by Lomborg has done that clearly shows the amount of resources we are expending towards gerbil warming because of greenslime pressure will NOT produce any material gains? In fact, according to Lomborg the gains will be less that 5%.
If you’re a great reader and gerbil scientist, you should be able to easily dismiss Lomborg.
We’re happy to wait.

Curtis Scott clearly has some issues.

SfB – I see you haven’t yet rebutted the observation that as the snow line hasn’t moved on average in a quarter century that there’s been no actual global warming in that time, despite the large rise in pCO2.
This is how science works: when a finding stands against all attempts to falsify it it becomes accepted as accurate. Maybe now you will accept that the climate propaganda from the Left isn’t true.

Nuclear Propulsion Roadmap
Nuclear propulsion for marine vessels, in particular submarines, confers extraordinary performance both in power and in endurance. The adoption of nuclear propulsion for future Australian submarines has been advocated for several years but has been discounted, mostly due to a lack of a nuclear power industry for generation of electrical energy. This lack is due to several factors including legislative bans, which have been reviewed in recent years without producing bipartisan agreement for repeal or revision of these laws.
A more recent argument has been about costs of nuclear power generation as an emissions-free source compared with renewable energy technologies.
This presentation is based on the alternative premise that nuclear propulsion should lead the creation of an Australian nuclear power industry, as it is not expressly prohibited by either federal or state laws.
The process is proposed through a roadmap as follows:
1. Why nuclear propulsion for submarines?
2. History of nuclear propulsion globally
3. Challenges for Australia in adoption of nuclear propulsion
4. Nuclear fuel cycle for nuclear propulsion
5. Infrastructure required for nuclear propulsion
6. Construction of nuclear submarines in Australia
7. Workforce development for Australian nuclear propulsion
8. Regulatory needs for Australian nuclear propulsion
9. Implications of nuclear propulsion for Australian civil nuclear power
10. Timelines for implementation of the Nuclear Propulsion Roadmap

California really is a failed state.
Don’t do adequate hazard reduction => blame wild fires on climate change.
Sell too many water licences => blame water shortages on climate change.
If you thought the Germans were smart, get that idea right out of your head and toss in the toilet.
And what’s the reason? Oh, solar and wind.
It’s laughable that Germany would even contemplate solar due to its northerly location. Germany is de-industrializing due to greenscum policies. Moreover, it’s taking down the last nuclear reactor in 2022.
NSW needs to have a bidding process for a nuclear power plant.
All users within a 100km radius get free power for a decade.
All users within a 200km radius get 50% discount.

I was in the Meteorology/Atmospheric science business in the 1970’s. There most definitely was a worry about us sliding into an Ice Age because of the declining temperatures. I remember when Schneider’s article about same came out. Never get between a “scientist” and a bag of grant money. Dishonest arseholes.
At the time the cooling was allegedly caused by human particulate pollution cutting off solar heating. Solution was more government.

that the prominence the press gives the “alarmist” view is in line with what climate scientists have concluded.
Yet you dismissed the prominence the press gave to the Coming Ice Age scare in the 1970s. Why do I get the impression that the level of credence you give to any source is in line with your pre-conceived outcome?
But, how about you display your knowledge and brilliance by telling us how a modern economy can operate on wind, solar and batteries at their present stage of development.

Look, you are a typical case of why it is wasted effort to spend too much time on providing the evidence behind what I am saying here.
I bet you have not even looked at the 2008 article I linked to from a real meteorological journal. It spends pages explaining how and why the relatively brief period of plenty of publicity given to global cooling did not in fact reflect the vast majority of research opinion, which was publishing warnings from the mid 1970’s that warming from greenhouse gases was likely to be the real concern.
Is this any great problem for science? No. All it means is that one minority opinion got a lot of PR attention for a relatively brief period. Big deal: the science and the media self-corrected.
We know that is not the same thing now (of a minority opinion being undeservedly given promotion) because it is much easier than it was in the 1970’s to find out what the majority/consensus opinion is without relying on the press reports.
This is not hard.
“Is this any great problem for science? ”

Alan Jones is off getting his knee done.

It was all Time Magazine and Newsweek talked about for the good part of the 70s.
And show evidence that only a minority agreed with the cooling hypothesis. Also, a minority that weren’t the elite in climate science then.

Oh Rita on Sky. Got it.
*Look, you are a typical case of why it is wasted effort to spend too much time on providing the evidence behind what I am saying here.*
Yes, who needs evidence when they have broadly correct, hilariously wrong and impossible at the same time predictions to rely on.
Be assured, that severe flooding and dams never filling up again are both, at the same time, broadly correct.

Bit too apple pieish for me. This is an Italian actress:
Ornella Muti
Muti is not of the lush style of many Italian beauties but that then youthful beauty definitely has no apple pie in her.
I see the troll is pushing the lie that while the cooling scare of the 1970s was widespread amongst the media it had no scientific support:
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/173/3992/138.abstract
Full Metal Jacket.
Then Criminal Intent.
A long time between drinks.
Around 60 credits in between.
And sorry, Calli, if I got your name wrong.
Can someone remind us, didn’t the then influential Club of Rome come out in the 70s and proclaim globular cooling was coming and by 1990 most of the world would be on starvation diet due to the cold climate and resource depletion?
Club of Rome was kind of like the forerunner to World Economic Forum
This Italian lass is not bad either:
Monica Bellucci
I think that was an asteroid, a small one. Consensus is that hypothesis is wrong, but at the same time there’s some interesting data supporting it, like the crater they recently found in Greenland. The evidence isn’t clear though.
We don’t have to fear another asteroid. The NEO program has pretty much picked up any object large enough to cause serious damage, and none are on a collision course. And even if they were we now, courtesy of Elon, have sufficient launch capacity to do something about it quickly enough. I forgive him a lot for that.
Question
Has the Rones pawed his way here as I haven’t seen any of the cretin’s posts? One of the most screwed up twisted characters on oz blogs.
Isn’t it fantastic that China can pollute anything and everything, build as many nuclear and coal fired power stations as they want, build dams wherever.
reminds me of thylane blondeau
The next Yonger Dryas style event
There won’t be one, because this entire asteroid concept is ahistorical non-consensus-based nonsense.
I am aware of this because I watched a YouTube clip about it. It was professionally produced and edited, and had plenty of colours.
jeebus … clearly it is for you.
gawd I hope yr not the pinnacle of the intelligentsia
Blockquote fail.

Sure; and notable fuckwits like Ehrlich.
He’s a total left-wing Democrat (BIRM).
He ought to be doing cartwheels then that his mentally retarded but physically gorgeous daughter of 29 years of age married the communist scumbag and wife beater, Sean Penn 61.
Consensus is that hypothesis is wrong
Too much money supporting other view points.
Like the food pyramid.
Surprising it’s coming from the UK, but there is a real push from parts of the UK health establishment to recommend the keto diet for anyone either pre diabetic or with type two diabetes.
The next Yonger Dryas style event will make it a moot point.

The YD was a Heinrich event; the world was emerging from the ice age and temps were rapidly increasing causing the vast amounts of land ice to melt; that fresh water did not mix with the ocean salt water and created massive water dams in the oceans preventing the distribution of heat via ocean currents. In the space of less then 50 years world temps had dropped by over 10C sending the world back into ice age conditions.
The asteroid theory has dropped out of favour.
You know, I can well understand how kids are getting carried away and caught with the gerbil warming bullshit. They were doing the same shit to us in the 70s with globular cooling and resource depletion. Most young people then honestly thought we were doomed – if not because of a nuclear war but as a consequence of starvation due to cooling and running out of resources. Kids are impressionable.
lol. In lockdown boredom I’ve been watching YouTube videos of periods in history, and while some present a general overview that is acceptable, many are historically inaccurate and superficial. I conclude that going back to reading serious articles and books is a much better use of my time, except I like the scenery of the vids. Good to blob out on with wine in hand and dreams in mind.
As for Italian actresses, I quite like Mrs Richard Roxburgh — Sylvia Colloca
Mind you, “Little” Tina Arena doesn’t shape up too badly either …
Emily Blunt is best on ground.
Then sometimes I think I’d like the crazy of Amber Heard.
Bern
I’ve seen, but not met Emily Blunt in person. She was in movie filmed in our friend’s house here in Melbourne. My car was in the forgettable movie as they begged me to leave it there for a day while they were filming.
Not a bad choice by you.
Oh I’d give Ms Heard a bit of a treat from time to time, but she is far too Radio Rental to know what your real name is or where you live.
Fake identity.
Credible backstory.
Away games only. White shorts.
Otherwise, you’ll have her laying a cable in your bed the first time she’s mildly annoyed with something.
I’ve been feeding a parade of very wet and miserable currawongs.
Currawongs are total emotion-pits with feathers.
They really hate ECLs.

super spreader events always start like this….
There is ample evidence (other than nanodiamonds) that the Younger Dryas was from asteroid(s). It even syncs up to asteroid field cycles.
“Oh no, couldn’t have been that. I didn’t learn that 40 years ago as an undergraduate”
Rex,
You bastard 🙂 That’s the real reason Sneakers us keeping the borders shut. I shall have to console myself with the Mary Valley Rattler.

She goes all right, but I do not think all that highly of Federation-era steam railroading. All the twirly bits and their innumerable oil holes, orifices and reservoirs are completely stuck beneath the boiler and perilously close to the firebox.
And my arms aren’t long (or skinny) enough to easily reach in… 🙁
So the only way we’re getting out of this pandemic is Carousel.
Anyone not lining up to be exploded in a flash of 1970s smoke and pyrotechnics is a selfish c**t.
I still don’t understand how the onlookers at Carousel weren’t showered in smoking chunks of burnt persons. I guess those 1970s lasers were really powerful.
The asteroid v ice melt theories for the Younger Dryas are discussed here.
But I’m old enough to remember it and I can’t remember no big explosions.
@Rex Anger
you blokes could have at least had someone taking a knee to steam.
Logan’s Run, Carousel:

Our entire modern world started with the ‘capture’ of steam that the Green Luddites are still trying to stop.
If you are a true believer (Greens, Labor, Progressives) how can you support the Capitalist created and now Progressively imposed compulsorily Covid Vaccine without exposing yourself as a jellyfish just floating in the current?
Anyone that worries about AGW is a Luddite.
Anyone that stops nuclear power is a Green Luddite.
egg_
that is a great point.
The same Greens Luddite scum who have opposed every single modern Genetic Modification improvement in human food production now oppose folk who don’t want to be inoculated with a Genetically Modified vaccine that supposedly counteracts a Genetically Modified virus???
when do our Masters ban, for all of time, the concept of Sharia?
Oh!… no democracy ever.

What if public policy was controlled by people who are afraid of being put in the naughty corner by Google and Youtube?

Thanks, Tom. But the Ben Garrison link died.
Herschel Walker has completed the paperwork.
He’s running in Georgia for Senate.
GOP wins tag football forever.
Unless the game is interrupted by a registered Democrat, like the baseball was.
Interesting stat that hopefully gets more coverage.
Hospitalisations in the US from COVID isn’t about vaccinated or non-vaccinated.
It’s about those who are obese.
If doctors walk off the job and refuse to treat the obese, public healthcare costs will drop off a cliff.
Someone posted yesterday that an old Cat, obese chap was cheering on antifa putting Andy Ngo in hospital.
Will he cheer on the antifa doing the same thing to Maranie Rae as per what Glenn Greenwald tweeted overnight?
We are relying on an election to remove the most dangerous and totalitarian politicians out side China . What hope do we have when we know from past elections that any brilliant Liberal National politician will be removed from his seat. Campbell N ewman, Griener ,John Howard. Never Labor .Paul Keating the most hated politician until Dan Andrews never lost his seat.
The ACLU is currently suing states that are banning mask mandates.
But not doing anything about states that have mask mandates.
And not doing anything about the NY law banning the un vaxxed from a range of venues that overwhelmingly impacts African Americans.
Looks like the ACLU really isn’t about civil liberties these days.
It’s quite depressing, ftb, I was going to write a post about it, but I’m taking a day off.
The long and the short of it is; these fair weather activists are taking the line that a person’s right to live trump all other rights. Ipso facto, if your mere existence means that you COULD be carrying the virus, which MIGHT endanger our their life, your rights are secondary (and therefore moot).
I mean, seriously. These so called humanitarians are twisting and turning so hard they’re about to disappear up their own fundamental.
Can you imagine what they could rationalise under this shit?
It been the over riding theme of this entire nightmare, from politicians thru the judiciary, right down to the police and the othe minions:
The one lesson I’ve taken from this about our institutions is that they are measures of opportunity only, to be disregarded when inconvenient. Things that were absolutely essential two years ago, are no longer necessary. The question that needs to be asked is; if it isn’t necessary during a ‘pandemic’, why was it ever necessary? The reverse is also true (especially when regarding peoples rights and the law), if it was important during easy times, surely it’s critical during stressful and panic ridden events.
Rant off.
