Except when they don’t.
Compare and contrast Adam Dash Cat’s “personal Covid Journey” with the lattitude given to NRL and Rugby teams.
Yet still many Australians are in favour of this discriminatory treatment. Surely it’s a result of the fear that has been injected into the population, and a “they haven’t come for me – yet” mentality.

Prudence Rees- Withherspoon is on Cornholius at 9 – 1.
Beemer Rose, from the Andrews stable, ridden by Shorty McClure.
Might and Powderpuff, ridden by Kaylee Thompson- Gunn, 13- 1.
Pharken Tradies, Phillipa Crack- Hore, a 100 to 1 long shot.
Proctologist, out of Spring street, ridden by detective Stevo “Jizz” Hunter is a late scratching.

A ratio is simply more replies than retweets.

100% incorrect. If you are going to pretend you are a kool kid on social media you should at least check you have it right before you slam anyone who questions it.

“ According to Urban Dictionary, being ratioed (sometimes spelt “ratio’d”) is when “a reply to a tweet gets more likes than the tweet it was replying to usually indicating the unpopularity or stupidity of the original tweet.” For example, if your tweet got 10 likes but a reply got 10,000 likes, you have sadly been “ratioed”.
It is a mark of Twitter failure. A bit like your mistaken definition.

The sort of comment you’d expect from someone who thinks the Arts is an “industry”.

She’s also lying.

All those Greenie Filth “Arts” Students & Govt Employed “Artists” regularly block traffic with their regular, Govt & Police Backed “Protests”.

Meanwhile, all those she & they hate have been very active in NOT Blocking traffic, calling out to each other to make clearways etc. they also marched onto a mostly CLEARED West Gate and got a LOT of support from those in the cars & trucks, plus that wasn’t as bad as most of my pre & post peak hour drives over the West Gate.

Insects have feelings too.

More people are eating bugs, but is it ethical to farm insects for food? (21 Sep)

What is the life of a cricket worth?

Insect farming is a rapidly growing industry, with hundreds of companies worldwide rearing insects at industrial scales. The global value of insect farming is expected to surpass US$1.18 billion by 2023.

Farmed insects, or “mini-livestock,” refers to insects such as crickets and mealworms raised for the sole purpose of being sold as food or animal feed.

These are not the fried tarantulas on a stick hawked to tourists or scorpion lollipops sold as novelties. High-protein insect powder can be used in foods from breads to buns, pasta and protein bars. Such products are already available in countries including the U.S., Switzerland and Finland.

As an entomologist who has studied the potential and promotion of edible insects in new markets, I have seen how much progress has been made in the past decade in normalizing the idea of eating insects worldwide. Now is the time to evaluate the ethical aspects of insect farming.

Here’s its photo

Police fire tear gas, rubber bullets
David Wu

It appears the tactic of riot police is to charge towards groups of demonstrators.

Half a dozen tactical officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets to separate a group around midday.

Social media footage showed officers advance on the group with bystanders caught in the middle of the chaos.

Victorian Police Commissioner Shane Patton warned authorities will have a different approach to disperse the rally compared to Monday and Tuesday’s protests.

The new police tactic is to not try & diffuse or control things. They now rush & open fire at unsuspecting crowds to scatter them. pic.twitter.com/LqpWmlzTc2

Victoria Police have started moving in on protesters as they stage another day of action in Melbourne’s CBD.

On Wednesday, people arrived at the CFMEU headquarters on Elizabeth Street and were again met by a huge police presence.

Officers started arresting people including one man a block away from the headquarters who was bleeding from the head.

Dozens of uniformed police, riot police and the mounted branch then surrounded the intersection and a large group of protesters started again marching through city streets.

Police started moving in just before midday and the crowd turned around and ran in the other direction and headed towards Flinders Street.

Nobody has heard any rumour of a tradie dying of injuries received? I saw a tweet while watching Avi’s livestream before he took a break, but I do not know if the tweet was related to the Melbourne protests. It might just be a workplace accident elsewhere? But hasn’t someone here commented they saw a protestor with a bloody head?

Might be clutching at straws, but though I’d attempt to clarify.

Rog I was a child and we actually spent those years in Brisbane. Ennogera to be exact. Mum or dad never mention it and I don’t remember it so I’ll take your word.

Rog is referring to the Qld govt requirement that protests not get in the way of normal people’s workday.

So protest in the park, or something.

Nope, protestors insisted that they get to halt the commerce of the people of Qld.
So it would turn nasty.

rosie only chose to read it that way.
rosie often chooses to read things with herself in the centre, as if there isn’t a whole world of professional propagandists & their methods to alert people to.

I mentioned that people were being sent to Setka’s Twitter to give him clicks=the same as the, ‘we’re with Dan’, pumping up of Daniel Andrews Twitter.

This was relevant because people aren’t buying the, ‘we’re with Dan.’, bullshit anymore but they still have to try to sell themselves as ‘the majority’ and Setka’s name was supposed to do that. You know, the old, “The protestors aren’t real union members, they’re just Nazi infiltrators.”, Bull Shit.

Story circulating that things arced up at Casa Setka the other day after there was mention of someone having a gun.
Dunno if this is fact or fiction, but saw on Social Media that the talk of weapons came from inside the building, from Setka’s knuckleheads, intended to intimidate those outside.
When it was reported, it was clearly implied that the alleged weapon was in the hands of protesters.
“Police moved in after fears were held for the safety of those inside the building when there were reports of someone with a weapon at the rear of the building”.

A quick thought, for what it’s worth: Looking at the brief clip of a Vikpol officer with a longarm aggressively approach a bloke in hi-vix standing calmly on a nature strip, while it’s difficult to judge distance from where the camera was positioned, Vikpol seemed as bit reckless about proximity. A less calm tradie might have taken a half-step forward, grabbed the weapon, and hey ho, you have a struggle. More become involved on both sides, weapon gets discharged in someone’s face. How long till this happens?

These new independent journalists Like Rukshan and Avi are making their bones on these events.
In two or three years the mouldy old media “personalities” will be moaning about their lack of jobs and wondering where these guys came from.
The answer is that the old media rejected the basics of good journalism in order to stay inside the tent and be given belly rubs: tickets to the Birdcage at Melbourne Cups, access and interviews and invitations.
Rukshan and Avi will be superstars, and well deserving too.

The man who was hit by the pepper ball was on the footpath surrounded by five police. He was saying that he couldn’t breathe – there was a strong whiff of tear gas about, according to Avi. He was able to get on an elbow and that showed his facial injuries. There were two women waiting there with him along with the police – were told to move on but nothing doing, they were staying.

Avi then went on to talk to the young Israeli women (astonishing, I know):).

If this was the man they are talking about, and in close proximity to Avi, he must have had a turn for the worse. Or…it’s all a bit of embroidery.

The argument of convenience over principle. Someone else’s convenience.

I wonder of that would console them if something they were told to do of which it would be inconvenient to oppose turned out to have a deleterious effect.

For my part I have seen over the past year and a half how our governments have stumbled from one blunder to another, still using the solutions now that did not work last year, and stuck with the fact that infection rates are unaffected by vaccine rates.

Now that they have the vaccine they are making that the issue. Our emergence from these idiotic lockdowns is now vaccination numbers and the persistent case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths are being mentioned only as they work to the goal of vaccinations.

They finally realised ‘zero cases’ was not doable, and that there was no strain on the health system to be relieved.

Is there no Lech Walesa in all of Melbourne?

Haven’t seen one emerge, yet, but Thank God for Topher Field & Rea Rukshan!

The Shrine is not a place to protest and that it is a sacred place that commemorates those who fought and died for our freedom

If “those who fought and died for our freedom” could be here today I’m sure they’d be pleased to find that their descendants are not squandering that freedom.

Point taken, Dover.

There’s evidently some doctored FB imagery depicting the lady as a 30 something bloke with a wig, produced to make the protesters look like knobs.

I verify it was a wig, and it came off when the person rolled over after being pepper sprayed.

That much is verifiable fact – in numerous videos & still photographs (some by msm)

Watching Rukshan a little while ago at the Shrine and these 2 extreme right-wing Aryan Nazi Middle Eastern Islamic guys walked over to one side to pray.
Have they no sense of decency……

I you search Kyle Mitchell in twattle, you’ll see video of man with blood spewing out of his head.

Graphic but not sure if lethal?
