” adding it was not representative of any faith or community.”
LOL. As I wrote earlier….the stabbing will just go into the forgettery. Who remembers Maurice and Zoe Antill? Remember how quickly that was filed into the forgettery? An elderly couple who had their throats slashed by a rodent adherent of the scummy religion of pieces.

I’m just a little curious here. On the old blog you mentioned a few times that if caught out with a terminal illness, one of your actions , immediately after hearing such very, very sad news, would be to arm-up, load-up. then head to the bank and take out the bank staff for not lending money.
Here though, you appear to be very agitated over the loon stabbing people in the NZ supermarket.
Can you explain how his action and your promised one are so qualitatively different that they cannot be compared?
I’m confused here. I’m guessing that you have a problem with religious based murders whereas as if it’s to do with money (in this case loans) it’s much different and therefore justified. Am I on the right track here? Thanks. -

It’s a little early in the piece to be counting him out. We’re opening by December people won; be so upset after. It’s how I think it may go.
All the small business operators who have and will go bankrupt are not likely to forget or forgive, nor will their families and friends.
Then think of all the poor people who couldn’t get to see their doctors and now have far worse medical problems than COVID.
Then all those parents who have been driven up the wall by having to work at home and homeschool their kids.
Then all those people who couldn’t go to funerals of loved ones and friends, see then in hospital or provide comfort in their dying days.
Then all those grandparents who were deprived of their grandchildren, missed out on special moments and milestones even if they were only in the next street.
Shall I continue?

I’m struggling with how much it will have cost NZ to have a squad of armed plod following this thing’s every move for the past years.
Three shifts a day, every day, for five years.
And he’s not the only one.
Just last month Ardern’s government rejected a $50 per week benefit increase for families on welfare.
That’s their prerogative, to be sure, but Ardern came to office campaigning that NZ children were starving “in their hundreds of thousands” under John Key.

I think the lieboral party is a lost cause.
The Liberal Party is Craig Kelly.
As said in The Australian today by Henry Ergas, Craig Kelly is a tide marker, that shows how far the modern liberal party has slipped from where it used to be.No wonder Slomo & co loathe Kelly.
For forty years I voted only Liberal and along comes Turnbull and ScoMo and no more.

Why is that any of the Federal Liberal Party’s (direct) fault?
Don’t get me wrong as this is quite possible especially in the fucked in the head state of Victoria.
People could vote in droves against the Feds because of the lockdown while people vote in droves for the Hunchback because of the lockdowns and “keeping us safe”.
Do you think, I’m catching the mood here? 🙂

DrBeauGan:
Too many ppl happy to be looked after.The long march of Civilisation in human affairs is a steady easing of the burden of making a living. Each generation makes it easier for the following generation to exist. So the agricultural revolution resulted in fewer people needing to work to achieve the same or better results in harvest as an example.
If this premise is taken to be true, why then the disapproval of people justly taking advantage of the advance of civilisation to not work and be “looked after”.
Further, the Western “Capitalist” system encourages winner takes all behaviour. This means that some actively seek to disadvantage others. This results in any life failure being a failure for life. Loss of “assets” for the vast majority of people is irreversible.
The “Democratic” governance system is at last seen for what it is. A corrupt winner takes all system where rich persons can buy politicians and politicians have no respect or duty to their electorate.
There is no honour here.
There is no respect here.
There is no security here.There is only endless corruption and lawlessness.

JC – They all say we’re opening up by December.
But on the arc we’re going by December we’ll be having 10,000 positive tests a day and the deaths will be at least double figures, possibly triple figures. All those elderly which the flu hasn’t been carrying off for over a year are still ready to be carried off, vaccination or no vaccination.
The Western Sydney problem is out of control because the locals are ignoring and actually evading the quarantine restrictions. Gladys can’t stop that from happening without bringing in the ADF and basically starting a war.
So I do rather doubt we’ll be opening up any time soon. The pollies’ have dug their hole ‘way too deeply for that. Maybe they’ll try, but the pressure on them to Do Something will become immense, and we all know what they will default to doing in such a circumstance.

“No joke, but isn’t Craig Kelly doing ads for the UAP at the moment. Man, Craigie is not a good looking dude. Ugly schnauzer comes to mind.”
I’ve met Craig numerous times. He a very nice man, ebullient, polite, sense of humour, middle Australia…which is why he made his seat of Hughes (which borders Scummo’s seat of Cook) a safe Liberal seat. Craig represents everything the Liberal party once stood for…Menzies’ values…small business, free speech, liberty, individual responsibility, aspiration. The party no longer represents any of that. What Scumbag Morrison did to Kelly in February of this year was shameful. He sided with Labor against one of his own. Kelly is a backbencher and the Liberal party has a long history of mavericks…but no, that despicable Morrison chose to side with Labor to censure and silence Kelly….the left have loathed Kelly for years because of his stance on “climate change” and now Covid.

great to see Augusto posting here
Definitely.
And now for a piece of, let me see now, what is it? Ah, yes ‘style over substance’.
Our travertine stone tiling on our verandahs and enclosures has been cut, laid, grouted and now sealed with something that smells noxious but works a treat. Shiny now and it brings out the coloration variability in the stone, lending a slightly medieval feel to it. Wonderful. So there is a great sense of style, and given that it’s quite a hefty stone, quite a lot of substance too, truth be told.
We halted work during the period of two neighbours kids’ trial HSC exams done at home.
I am well up on the timetables of this year’s Year 11 and Year 12 subjects and testings.
Poor kids have enough to put up with during lockdown and don’t need added noise as well. -
but the pressure on them to Do Something will become immense, and we all know what they will default to doing in such a circumstance.
They could try protecting the elderly instead. What a novel idea. Extra contactless support services to those elderly people at home who don’t want to go out to places of exposure. Well worth a bit of money spent on those in place of horrendously expensive and draining lockdowns.

That occured to me too.
Let’s say it is a crew of two watching him.
Hours required 365 x 24 x 2 heads = 17,520 hours.
Given a standard working year of 1650 hours per person after leave, training, yada yada, that requires 11 FTEs. -
So I do rather doubt we’ll be opening up any time soon.
Mss. Palaszczuk & Young agree with you, Bruce.
On the other side of the ledger, it seems to me that Andrews is taking a rather sadistic delight in threatening the unvaxxed with loss of freedoms.
Politics attracts the weirdest of people.
That’ll be our downfall.

Horseface:
What happened today was despicable, it was hateful it was wrong,” Ms Ardern said in a news conference. “It was carried out by an individual, not a faith.”
She added that she was “absolutely gutted” to hear about the attack.
There is no ISIS, Al-qaeda or any other terrorist group, there is only islam. Ardern is a traitor and/or a fool, typical of our ‘leaders’; what a pity she wasn’t literally gutted like the 6 other poor bastards who will be comfited by horseface’s assertion that is was just a nut and not a faith who rearranged their intestines.

Last week, it emerged that the Federal Department of Health had rewritten a guide to COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant women by deleting the word “women” and replacing it with “people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy”.
This was another clear example of how this woke, anti-women ideology has infiltrated Australia’s public service.
Today, success! The guide has been re-issued and once again refers to women and mothers, as it should.
I wish they left the guide as it was. I could seek vaccine exemption as a “person planning pregnancy.”
The fact that I’m (a) Old, and (b) a bloke wouldn’t matter, I can identify as anything I want.

If this premise is taken to be true, why then the disapproval of people justly taking advantage of the advance of civilisation to not work and be “looked after”.
I grant your premise; we are the heirs to the hard work of our ancestors and it has made us wealthy beyond comprehension. But that has nothing to do with wanting to be looked after. It might have led to a flourishing of arts and science as people revelled in their affluence, to a free and independent spirit. We’ve got the opposite.
Capitalism isn’t a theory of economics. It’s nothing more than government letting people trade with minimal restrictions. Moralising about it is the infallible mark of the undeveloped mind.

What a smug woman.
So she intentionally brings up the dumbest arguments against vaccination and then expects other educated people who don’t agree with her to just shut up?
Despicable.
How does she explain away any of the insane nonsense Fauci has spouted such as wearing multiple face masks or booster shots every five months after shots 1 & 2; let alone degrading crap like anal swabbing in China?
It is perfectly reasonable to demand a traditional attenuated virus vaccine.
-
Andrews openly talked about mandatory vaccinations for people who won’t voluntarily get the jab.
This precious toddler is throwing a tantrum because his lockdown has failed and he didn’t get to boast it in front of ScoMo and Gladys, so now he’s taking his anger out on citizens.
No football
No Pub
No Clubs
No restaurant
A psychological assessment to be made of TaliDan. -

Australia is now only 2 million first doses away from achieving the 70% first dose vaccination coverage. Every vaccination brings us closer to the freedoms we enjoy.So let’s get this done by getting your jab today!
Dr Zelenko in his interview with Craig Kelly got Morrison exactly right when he called him a prostitute who had sold out the country he had been elected to protect.

Also have a bookmark in the first vol of the account of the AIF fighting against the Japanese, but that is a bit too real and painful for me to want to get back into just yet.
Yes, there are no doubt good reasons why my grandfather would never talk about that.
I’ve since pieced together some of the history from his service record.
The greatest generation.

“I’m not comfortable with any deaths that are preventable. So that’s why I want every single Queenslander who can be vaccinated to get vaccinated because that is the best protection, and that’s why I’ve spent the last 19 months doing everything I can.”
This is a massive lie. If she were really interested in saving lives she would be advocating every cure, not simply advocating experimental vaccines with serious side effects.
-
*Every vaccination brings us closer to the freedoms we enjoy.*
Stage managed crap designed to make it look like you had a plan all along, didn’t make it up as you went along and didn’t panic on the most inaccurate and incompetent of forecasts.
It’s actually much worse than that because, if they get their way, we will never be free again. It will always be just as much as they permit at the time. That is not freedom.
A vaccine passport system means that we will forever be bound to do what we’re told simply to retain access to the most basic things in life.

Check if the War Diaries of his unit are on-line at the AWM website. They cover (in varying detail) the day to day activities of each unit. They have been digitising them for some years now, starting with combat arms units. I’m not cure how far they have got, but you might be lucky.
