If ‘small-businesses’ agree to act as an arm of the government, as a cats paw for the government to enforce things for the government that the government itself cannot enforce using a vast apparatus created by the government for that very purpose, they’ll necessarily be treated like the political actors that they are.

P, all format buttons working here. The only thing that has changed for me on any device is the comment box has shortened.
yes, Dover the comment box.
as you can see, no auto capitalisation either on new paras. or after a full stop.
just like my old Royal typewriter! just no shift key to exercise the little finger.
might just be a toggle to enable auto caps.
wrong
Yes, TwoDicks.
Every personal anecdote which doesn’t fit your narrative must be a fake.
If you actually listened to people here instead of screaming “BOOMER SOFTCOCKS!” at the sky every two minutes, you would find that quite a number here (and in the broader community) don’t give a shit about masks in the great outdoors but respect a business owner who asks that you not expose him to shit he doesn’t need.
HERE CALLI.
HAVE SOME CAPITAL LETTERS ON ME!

Feel free to do what you like regarding small businesses in your orbit TwoDicks.
And I will exercise my rights too.
For me, if someone tells me to wear a mask outside when I am walking, that is a quick “Get Fucked”.
If a business owner says no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service, I can accept that or go elsewhere.
Yelling at some poor schmuck for doing as their boss asks them is the act of an arsewipe.
And usually they are very good at yelling at shop girls.
Samoan bouncers at the pub? Not so much.
History according to twostix: If only all the Jews in Krakow acted together, the ghetto would never have been…ahem…cleared.
Italics!
I see your point ftb but is any small business dying on any hill right now opposing lockdowns, QR coding, vaccine passports. They need to pushback individually and collectively. One of the things that gauls me right now are business groups like the Caters Association and Hotels Association collaborating with the government on a vaccine passport system. Maybe if their members told them to pull their heads in we’d be in a different spot.

Dover – I think what P is getting at is that the buttons are presently inserting the HTML at the very end of the text in the text box, not at the point where the cursor is or at either end of a block-selected bit of text.
That was the case with the Link button and the Quote button in the two comments I did just now. In both I edited the syntax manually to get the right result.
I ran ‘CCleaner Pro’ then tried again with no luck.

If only all the gun owners stood up to John Howard, they would still have their guns.

And believe me it will come. It’s programmed in. And during that respite you won’t notice how many of the things that three years ago you would never have accepted are now just part of the landscape. But you’ll have adjusted. You won’t feel immediately under threat because the noises coming out of the regime will be about making amends and freeing things up and how some mistakes were made.

Virginia takes down Robert E. Lee statue
By Allison Prang
Dow Jones
2 hours ago September 9, 2021
63 Comments
Virginia took down a prominent statue of General Robert E. Lee in Richmond on Wednesday morning, the latest in a series of Confederate symbols removed across the US following protests against racial injustice last summer.
A crowd, including Gov. Ralph Northam and Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, gathered on Monument Avenue to watch the event, the culmination of a year-long legal battle. As workers finally lifted the 12-ton, 21-foot bronze figure of Lee on a horse from its pedestal, some viewers sang “Nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye!” Afterward, they chanted “Whose streets? Our streets!” Online, hundreds of viewers tuned into the live stream of the event on Mr. Northam’s Twitter feed.
The state’s Supreme Court last week upheld two lower-court rulings that would allow the removal of the statue of the Civil War general that has been in place for more than 130 years.
People living near the statue and a descendant of the couple who had transferred the monument and land it sits on to the commonwealth of Virginia separately sued Gov. Northam after he said in June 2020 that Virginia would remove it. The statute, near Virginia Commonwealth University, became a focus of protests last year following George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer.
not sure that’s true.
The NSW anti-discrimination laws cover infectious diseases, and ‘may catch one in future’ discrimination. These can be overrider with health orders only.
So either the NSW govt has to extend health orders for covid, or they have to argue around the anti-discrimination laws.
Hey, I just got my letter from ScoMo telling be to get vaccinated for the sake of the country!
Yay!
It is as dumb as you might expect, and says absolutely nothing about religious concientious objection to AZ.
I’m going to disable the emojis plugin until I can work this out, ladies and gentlemen. I draw the line at ruining the functionality of the formatting buttons.

Quite so.
Joining organised opposition affords the greatest leverage.
But this discussion this morning began around people having a crack at small business owners and employees.
If your revolution involves threatening 17 year old girls in a shop, count me out.
As I said, a good proportion of these bullies won’t be “taking a stand” down at the pub in front of a brick shithouse bouncer.

No, I am under enormous pressure and coercion to take the jab or I have no job. I have no other means of income.
I don’t hold it against any business that is forced to implement measures. Like the rest of us, they are doing their best under crappy conditions. Most hate this shit, and a lot are resisting as best they can.
I’ll be far less forgiving of those businesses who voluntarily implement measures to show support to Dan, or to signal their ‘virtue’. I won’t fight with them, or their employees, I just won’t provide my custom.
We resemble that remark!

A quick straw poll.
Thinking back to March 2020, and your level of concern over contracting Kung Flu, are you:-
1. More concerned now;
2. Less concerned now;
3. About the same?

Isn’t that, you know, theft?

I fully support straws.

Pangolins should be less concerned, because they’re off the hook.
Residents of nations the CCP wants to knobble should be more concerned about the traitors among us.
Sorry, Sancho Pz, I was toying with a plug-in. Imagine you are driving a car, and a mechanic is working on the engine.
Stick a stamp on the hampers and invite the police to charge themselves..?
Or ask if they are familiar with the offence of stealing.
https://www.gotocourt.com.au/criminal-law/nsw/stealing/
What is stealing?
Stealing is the dishonest taking of something that belongs to someone else, without intending to return it. The thing must be something capable of being moved and must have some value. It must belong to someone else and it must be taken (moving it the slightest distance is enough) and that taking must be without the agreement of the owner of the property. Stealing can also include instances where you find something of some value and decide to keep it (larceny by finding).
What is not stealing?
It is not stealing if the item is taken for a temporary purpose. However, if the taker plans to use the items as their own for a while and then return them that is still stealing. It is not stealing if the person who takes the item takes them by mistake or if they believe that they are legally (not just morally) justified in taking the property, even if their belief is wrong.
I was never concerned about it in the first place and that position remains unchanged. So a 3, presumably.
Had no fear of Covid.
Terrified of the potential government response.
Convinced it would see the end of many of our freedoms, and be used opportunistically for other ends.
Nah, everything is going according to my prediction. No real surprises here.
I reckon there should be an outbreak of memes along the lines of:
[Because COVID Vaxx masks infection] Vaxxinated people to enter retail premises will need to provide COVID negative test results no older than 48 hours. [You know – to protect triple vaxxed grandma who unfortunately has some co-morbidites…]
Or (ducks):
Everyone must have a universal vaxxine / social passport that clearly states your vaxx status for chicken pox / measles / covid etc AS WELL as your gender orientation (to allow you to be addressed by your prefered pronouns of course). Retail stores will be open and only straight people will be able to work or shop. Any people identifying as gay to enter will need to provide a certificate that they don’t have HIV/AIDS.
..
You’ve failed to address the concerns of the pangolins.
(2) We are all going to get it at some stage.
So suck it up.
* in best Hyacinth voice *
Richard! Mind the mechanic!
I think we owe them an apology.
I am guessing that most people are 3’s (Low concern and not changed).
But, more importantly, I think a large number of people are 2’s (Less concerned).
It is a worthwhile circuit breaker to ask people. If they were opening door handles with sanitary wipes 18 months ago, and now they don’t care, why is that?
(It might help the conversation not to accuse them of being gullible sheeples).
Most people here are 3’s I meant.
No, it’s those chinese communist bastards that owe the poor li’l scaly beasties an apology.
The former tried to fit the latter up. Thank goodness we have unfunny self fellating knobheads like stewart and colbert to remind us of that factlet.
Without wishing ill upon anyone, I can’t wait for it to cut loose in Perth.
Ok ftb
Who was it other than you who was saying that they complied with qr coding at small businesses when twostix made his faggot conservative comment?
And Axeville (aka Adelaide)
“Less concerned” is a sliding scale.
Obviously I’m concerned about my elderly parents getting it. For myself…meh.

Scaly claws typed this.
Gab,
I’m really sorry to hear of your plight.
I wish there was something I could do.
Unfortunately, some are at the cutting edge of this nightmare, and will have to face the moral dilemmas before others do. We are now all on a journey of self discovery, and that is rarely pleasant. Sanity might prevail before everyone faces the issue, but it’ll be too late for some.
Too late. I think they’ve been eaten.
I prefer my poll hornless… and rare on the barbie.
That sky news article was unclear.
It seemed to suggest that there would be no vaccine requirements for places of worship?
I’m with you calli. Concern for a couple of vulnerable family members but never personally.
The point being it is a simple measure of general concern about it.
Or the direction it is trending.
My feeling is that a lot of people who were apprehensive about it at the start are now ambivalent.
This is why we see increasingly shrill hyperbole used by ‘elf perfessionals and the desparate search for victims aged under 50.
no it’s definitely only vaxxed in houses of worship in nsw
I’d suggest you are right.
Most of the screeching at non-conformists is no longer about “You’ll kill Granny”, it’s now predominantly about “You’re going to extend lockdown”. Why would they be concerned about the length of lockdown if they were still concerned about Covid?
It’s like those Karens who claim that Covid is the devil, but when Dan announces another lockdown, they head out on the town to get their last restaurant meal in. It doesn’t seem to occur to them that Covid doesn’t just become more serious at 12 midnight according to Dan’s desires.
Same applies to masks. How many of them wear masks, if Dan doesn’t mandate it?
Nah, it’s mostly theatre now, and we are all players.
🙂
Mater, thank you, and to all others. Really.
All I will be needing is a roof over my head if I lose this job. Nothing flash, just safe and quiet. I’m currently searching through ”work from home jobs”, of course they pay far less but it is what it is.
Gab, did you see duncanm’s link to the HRC. Last para:
Perhaps it’s time that ordinary, non-activist Australians started using this agency which, supposedly, was established for the protection of our rights.
I hope it turns out well for you.
Mater at 2:23.
Another measure is the level of rule-breaking and the level of relative openness about flouting the rules as against 12 months ago.
OK, not shouting it from the rooftops, but sharing their stories among non-Karen friends.
Which means it is more acceptable and the rules and restrictions are losing – to use an SJW term – their “social licence”.
I had a Zoom-stoush with a couple of StandwithDans over the weekend.
Them “He is only doing this stuff (the restrictions) to keep us safe.”
Me “So, if the rules are so critical, why are you breaking them?” (Which they had admitted to).
No answer.
Typical. Not only is she oblivious to Christian conscience but she’s going to cause great angst in churches as less-informed people find out about AZ and as some congregationers attend and others are excluded because of their beliefs. And the poor ministers will be roped over a moral barrel. What a stinking mess. Thanks Gladys. Well I’ll hold off as long as I can. Maybe the horse will learn to sing.
If ministers, priests, rabbi’s don’t thumb their nose at the restrictions, they are agents of the state.
Mrs Bartels off hook because it could have been icing sugar.
Just reading Ticky’s piece in the Oz from yesterday.
Britain’s uncomfortable experience of energy transition, exposed this week, should be a lesson for Australia.
As winter fast approaches, energy prices have spiked to record highs thanks to a perfect storm of unusually calm weather shutting down wind farms, which form the main renewables engine for the country, and a global shortage of natural gas, which typically supplies almost a third of Britain’s electricity.
Retard.
Exposed this week?
This exact scenario has been on the cards for the last 5 years & was expected for the last decade.
So if an unvaxxed person is present hasn’t everyone there breached the Covid rules?
What is an unvaxxed person supposed to do if he’s sitting alone in a park and his vaxxed mates insist on joining him?
At the very least they should be making an enormous fuss right now.
Besides which if people follow social distancing guidelines* it shouldn’t make any difference if you are vaxxed or not.
*we were told these would stop the spread
.
Run
90 percent of Melbourne cases in the same hotspots, twitter link
Nearly everyone is breaking the rules. Even the istandwithdaners. Police, medical professionals, etc.
Nearly everyone I know.
I seriously believe they recite the “he is only doing this stuff (the restrictions) to keep us safe” line because it’s easy, and rehearsed. “Four legs good, two legs bad” type thing.
As for them explaining breaking the rules, I’ve only ever got variations of the same answer:
“But, but…I do it safely. I’m smart enough to take precautions.”
That…or complete silence, accompanied by a snarl.
Vaccines don’t work.
Social distancing doesn’t work.
Masks don’t work.
Confirmed!
Morrison gave the game away today, talking about banning people from entering public, he referred to people’s “health passport”.
Oops.

How the HELL are “they” going to know who is in my home and who isn’t?
Sorry about the shouty, but this stuff is coming straight from Satan’s butthole.
Will “they” require all households to QR code? Will “they” do “compliance” visits. Warrantless?
So you have to grill visitors as to their vaccination status?
Do we all need a QR Codes on our front doors?
Have these people stepped back and taken stock of how ridiculous they look?
How the HELL are “they” going to know who is in my home and who isn’t?

Cornelius really is an ugly little man.
Don’t worry. They won’t jail you for non-compliance, well not for long, anyway. They’ll just debit your social credit license, known in Oz as a health passport, and you won’t be allowed in buses or taxis and will be allowed to buy only bread and water.
And you will be grateful for their forebearance.

& what the Anzacs fought for
The Clive is strong in this one.
I posted over on the other cat that if you want to know how all of a sudden, all over the world, all at once every government implemented the exact same ‘response’ to this and now continue pushing a strange new ‘normal’ – mass PCR testing, contact tracing, etc, etc. It’s a WHO mandated ‘plan’ that every signatory country agreed to implement. Ours agreed in Dec 2018, this is the action plan:
This makes interesting reading.
Signed by none other than the Brendon Murphy (CMO) and also…the Chief Veterinary Officer. Bearing out my loose theory that ‘public health’ and animal ‘biosecurity’ are merging into a single apparatus.
E.g:
Memories .. ! birds of a feather .. GLADYS, DARRYL & a mate .. LOL!
https://ibb.co/9rcC6Bq
That document mentions contact tracing, rolling out mass PCR testing.
If covid didn’t exist, they’d be doing all of this starting in 2019 anyway.
Would everyone have accepted lockdowns and QR codes for a bad flu season? I wonder.
Maybe.
Gab – I’d contact the Anti discrimination people in your state.
Your employer cannot do that unless there’s a valid reason – frontline health worker etc.
Good luck.
Is this a thing?
GFC 2 Batvulva drift, the second coming.
Shares in the embattled Chinese property giant Evergrande have slumped again after two credit downgrades in two days amid concerns that it will default on parts of its massive $300bn debt pile.
Evergrande, which is one of the world’s most indebted companies, has seen its shares tumble 75% this year. They fell by almost 10% on Thursday morning to HK$3.35, which is below the listing price when the company floated on the Hong Kong market in 2009.
Trading in one of the company’s bonds was suspended by the Shenzhen stock exchange on Thursday morning after the price plunged 20%.
The online market trading platform IG said Evergrande posed “a risk of contagion” after Bloomberg reported that Credit Suisse and Citibank were no longer accepting the bonds of another highly indebted Chinese property developer, Fantasia, as collateral.
.. Gab, or maybe the fair work ombudsman in your state.

I’m not sure what sort of employer you have, but they may be genuinely confused by the regulations. They have an obligation to provide a safe workplace, which they may have interpreted to mean everyone needs to be vaxxed.
The law is a confusing ass.
This FB page has just jumped nearly 6,000 in the last three hours.
Now at 113,500 members.
Obviously not everyone is seeing this as the government does.

Thanks, Duncanm.
Yes I guess I’ll contact that agency but don’t hold out much hope even though I’m not a frontline worker.
The company’s stance is to uphold the law wrt health and safety as they – and all other organisations – are obliged by law to ensure the reasonable h&s of all employees. They consider risks and also believe they are legally liable if an unvaxed employee is allowed in the workplace and another employee is ”infected and dies”, however unlikely that may be.
Gab – if you’re in NSW, definitely contact fair work.
It does sound like your eomployer does not understand their liabilities very well. If possible, get your HR (or whomever) to talk to fairwork themselves and get clarity on the situation.
At least have them read all of that page

Duncanm, I’m in Victoristan and report directly to to the HR BigWig even though I don’t work in HR.
I’m pretty much snookered.
ok – I just realised those links are federal, anyway. So they apply.
The Vic fairwork info leads straight to the page I linked above.
Spiky has told me she does thirty burpees a day, four days a week. Came as a bit of a shock.
.. your HR bigwig is a numpty.
Sounds like your ‘tier3’,office worker with limited public exposure.
They can’t insist on anything.
Mater, I just looked at that page and saw a couple of my FB contacts there.
One I did not expect.
Just a quick glance through tje overwhelmingly supportive comments, I am not seeing much StandWivDan trolling.
Gab,
Safe Work Australia doesn’t see it that way.
Please read this carefully. Lots of good stuff to talk to your employer about…really good stuff.

Gab.
I think the magic words are “Have you checked legal department about that”?
Or refer him to the above linked pages.
If hes a bell end and you want to go out in a blaze of glory say “well you didnt care about my terminal tuberculosis why different with covid” before coughing into a blood stained handkerchif.
Extra points if you can smuggle in a clot or 2 from the thawed out lamb leg to drop on the desk at the same time.
Just snuck into colesworth the loud speaker reminding me that qr coding was mandatory in Victoria.
It was a bit of a Big Brother moment.
Oh dear forgot my phone.
That’s iniquitous, Gab. Were I in your situation, I’d be looking for someone to kill.
The implied contract between us and them has been shattered. By them. OK, anything goes. The bastards have no rights whatever.
I am not seeing much StandWivDan trolling.
When I look at any social media comments recently, the I Stand With Dan crew are way outnumbered.
And other posters rip into them commenting on how recently their twitter account has been set up, with only a couple of followers, but tweeting furiously, ie, fake.

It’s a very clever approach, using their tactics against them.
It’s an anti-discrimination social media site. How could you justify removing it?
People are feeling as though they have no legal means to protest, and no recourse. This is the way to do it. Not only is it legal, it’s righteous.
I hope it REALLY takes off.
It just added another thousand odd.
Apart from all that, I was employed with the full knowledge that my job entails interstate visits and to NZ, amounting to about 3 or 4 interstate flights per year and one to NZ. It’s in the contract.
No jab, no travel. Although it could be argued that I can do audits via zoom as is currently being done, but not sure if that is something they will consider.

Agree- directed by the UN most likely. Their plan pretty much seems to be to shut down the economy and turn Australia into a playground for the international rich and fatuous. Maybe with chicom owned and staffed mines and farms.
Yes.
One thing HRs hate is the idea they might become a central player in a discrimination case.
So far I imagine it has all been one way traffic.
Willing participants in the vax program, lots of lovely charts at weekly meetings showing progress and elephant stamps for the urgers.
The suggestion that there could be push-back and even litigation might just cause them to back off.
I don’t know the structure of the place but one thing I know about large corporates. Litigation is a standard item in board reports and nothing draws the attention of board members more than litigation by a current or ex-employee.
CEOs do anything to keep employee/management argy-bargy out of board reports.
Did you need a passport to do interstate travel when you signed said contract?
Frollicking Mole!
ahahahahahahahahahaha! Best advice all day!
And if a vaxxed employee infects another workplace colleague who dies? What then?
Which can’t escape.
It’s as if the Iron Curtain had been 1000km thick.
