Nice interview in the WSJ with former Soviet dissident about Ukraine and what it all means. Mr. Yarim-Agaev, 75, was…

The beanbag rounds come out of a standard 12 gauge pump-action shotty, which is what KD was talking about.
Five rounds in a tubular magazine under the barrel, loaded by pumping the left hand back then forward to eject and load.
As KD said, you can pretty much empty a mag pretty quick if you need to.
The point was, an experienced shooter fires, then pumps the next round in using a quick fluid “back-forward” action. The highly skilled operators at the shrine looked like they weren’t familiar with the weapons.
The “OC rounds” come out of something which looks like a glorified paintball gun.
The Bearcats have been around for some time. They were initially bought with Federal cash, and every State and Territory got some in the interests of interoperability between States during counter-terrorism operations.
So every State etc’s SOG/TRG or similar got them.
A crew from the SOG in VicPol got their first one, which had arrived, fully assembled and ready to drive, off a freight aircraft from the US (they’re left hand drive, allegedly) which landed at Tullamarine in the middle of the night. The SOG crew were there waiting for it.
They fuelled it and decided to ‘test’ it on the Tulla Freeway back to the City at oh-dark-thirty. Shortly afterwards, and before they even got to Essendon it was on its roof about 50 yards off said freeway.
It is said by some that it was one of the last times a trusted flat-top towie was called at home and used. Cash only, naturally.
Not a chance, Gunner!
It looked and sounded to me like the TPE team swallowed a bait in the heat of the moment. Much like most normies would have, overnight.

Voluntary voting versus compulsory voting. The turnout at the Canadian election three days ago was roughly 59 percent with some ridings (electorates) with a turnout as low as 37 percent.
There are advantages with voluntary voting but I can also see the merit of compulsory voting.

Yes, I think he was like the top MBA student, then got a job with a prestigious consulting firm, worked in the US for a time and then came here and took over the jam maker in Tassie.
As an insider to a very tiny degree (hearing from the bigwigs) he came within a whisker of succeeding with the buyout. He was selling the brewery to a British brewer and it almost went through but for the protestations from the CFO of the Brit brewer threatening to resign if they bought the beer arm. The sale failed to go through and the rest if history.

You would not expect them to be any thicker-skinned than that necessary to stop 7.62mm rifle fire and maybe artillery splinters.
51 words. Natch.
They were originally made to be MRAPs (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles) for operations in Iraq.
Their use by police in a country not at war is pure intimidation of the citizenry and promoting a sense of invulnerable power to the cops.
Very good for the tasks they were intended for.
Which is diametrically opposite to what they were used for this week.

Dude, I could have done that trade but for the fact that I moved to NYC at the time. The dude who did the trade ended up with all sorts of charges against him. He got off but, but it made him old. He was the manager in the NZ office who took the order.
Remind me, it was an historical rate roll over or some shit like that, right? I forget.

Thanks for that Gab. I know for a fact that Hungary’s Jewish population is growing and it’s safe….whilst Jews in Western Europe are leaving countries such as France and Belgian. And I wonder why Hungary is safe…….hmm…something to do with strong borders and a virtually non-existent population of adherents of a certain religious ideology.
John Elliott. The Yorta Yorta people put a curse on him, for calling Aborigines “unimportant” and “backward.”
You’d relate to that, Rones.
Thank you gentlemen, and I appreciate your succinct explanations.
It seems that Bearcats are useful in lawless shitholes but have no place in Melb … oh, no … wait.
I’ve finally made it back to Tom ‘toons from this morning – thanks Tom! Leak, Warren, (Knight, I think as well) and all the Yanks – not so much the Pommys.

Look, I’m a currency trade dummy, but I reckon even I could make money on a March 31st six month forward contract if I get to write it in October.
Pretty much.
Terrorism was the excuse, but given that most species of organised criminal in this country are better organised and gunned-up than any small rabble of guys plannning something nasty in an apartment in Lakemba or Pakenham (and who tend to be the suppliers of the bang-sticks and boom-mix, as the equipping of young Abdul Jabbar in 2015 by an unspecified ‘cousin’ demonstrated), then the BearCat has a very specific intended use- For when cornered gangsters declare ‘fuck it!’ and decide to go out in a blaze of glory.

Oh okay, it wasn’t about historical rate roll overs. It was a series of back dated contracts.

Started trading in the financial arm of Elders IXL, and spent seven years there, before moving to New York?
Indeed.
Sancho
He had a chance of selling the finance arm to an American bank and walked. He had several opportunities to consolidate but didn’t. He wanted it all. The problem all those takeover fucks had is that they didn’t know when to stop. They had cash flow from their first takeovers that carried their interest payments because they were able to sell the under-valued assets. And then they go a big head.
I recall that idiot Alan bond buying Channel 9 off Packer. The business had a profit margin of about 2 1/2% while interest rates were in the teens. It was complete madness. He was miles away from profit or cash fl0w being close to cover the interest.
Yea, while you were oiling rifles and then tending sheep.
Indeed, you fraud.
Please vote if you know who I’m referring (as Rones) and if you really believe that after a decade of calling him Rones he really doesn’t know it is. He’s such a fraud.

He should do more of these. Maybe he doesn’t realize, no one can lay these down like he does. He has real skill.
oh, and Tim Pool and Salty -both well worth watching. And that 6 minute twitter feed of that bloke doing the commentary about cops storming The Shrine and firing plastic bullets and pepper(?) spray – really shocking stuff.
All these citizen journalists out on the streets filming it all as well as the missteps from VikPol makes me think that there’s a big turning coming.
Today Credlin had on a media lawyer, I’ve seen him on Sky before. He explained the win in the Court today on the no media fly stuff and how CASA had essentially subbed out their jurisdiction to VicPol – so a Federal Authority decides it’s ok to allow an
policing servicearm of the regime to misuse its powers. The media were not happy with what it saw as state censorship. Yes, I know, the msm sees it as very much in its purview to decide the censorship stuff, because it’s a bad look when it happens before their narrative has been laid out. Maybe it will want to rub Dan’s nose in it to get back at the overreach.Then Bolt had Gideon Rozer on his show who said he is truly scared about what is to come and went on to say that what is happening is real police state stuff.
Morrison was very strong yesterday when asked about The Shrine footage – he was disgusted by it, he said. But with more and more stuff coming out – the footage of that bloke at Flinders(?) Street Station being slammed to the ground, which is now being investigated, as is the elderly lady on Saturday being pushed down and pepper sprayed and the body armour black shirts firing at defenceless and non-violent people in the centre of the city – it’s not a good look to have the PM give his support real police brutality.
Morrison has always been very slow to change course but then backs down pretty quickly when things start to smell. After he’s watched and been told a bit more about what’s happening in Melbourne, I think it’s a strong bet that he’ll drop Andrews like the proverbial.
Correction: Remember that everyone in the MSM’s been on the ‘sacred’ bandwagon lately.
You fraud, Ronery. You sad, cuckolded fraud.
Watch, he now avoids this by skulking off until tomorrow afternoon.
You were on the Doomlord’s blog with an entirely different version of your financial career, and, indeed, I don’t bet with proven liars.

Ronery, the only thing people would believe about you is when you admitted you’re a cuckold as no stand up dude would get onto a blog and bawl to others he’s was cheated on with the next door farmer. You lied about your net worth and you’ve lied about pretty much everything else. You’re a fraud.

I worked in the John Spalvins web for a while in the ’80’s.
I kept thinking “I don’t get this. It doesn’t make any sense” whilst hot-shot financial j’isms were writing “People don’t get this. Which is why it is brilliant and he is a mastermind”.
A perfect petrie dish environment to grow a Skase.
Stoush alert!
Call out the Cat Bearcat!
Or the Cat Bobcat!
Or the … fuck I’m confused.
Ronery.. answer this, at least for the benefit of the readerhip. What was the purpose pf posting this comment.
What relevance to Elliot’s death and his life does a throw away comment have like that which would have been made ~30 plus years ago?
For once in your miserable shitty life, explain the importance of that comment and even why you would recall it?
.
Yes. Saw that too. They just can’t help themselves, anything they don’t like they invoke Trump, whether it has any real relevance or not. Journo-kiddies, taught to think auto-leftism at uni.
It takes years to get rid of it. Ask me. I know. I think I had fully shaken it off by about 1995.
You could thus call me an early from ‘left to right’ adopter in a very left-wing faculty.
But even in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s I was pretty skeptical about New-Left feminism and its sisterly aggressions. If like me you were a teenager who enjoyed her feminine teen-years in the 1950’s you couldn’t hack hating men and pretending that biology had nothing to do with being a woman. 🙂

When/if travel starts again we are looking to Japan.
After that, I am thinking more about the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia.
No bullshit people with a very low shit-tolerance for being loaded up by Brussels spivs.
Lol. Repetition. Kinda like putting together and then taking apart a rifle, day in day out for 20 years. You love repetition don’t you Rones. And a ridiculous lie as well. There’s never been a time you haven’t had the living shit kicked out of you.
Tell you what, link the so called win and let people here post comments as to who won and lost.
They were going to go with “Protestor Pulverizing Panzer” but the marketing weenies vetoed that.
Don’t slink away, Ronery. Explain to the readership the importance of that comment about aboriginals and why you still remember it. Take a deep breath and push down as it may help you find an ounce of courage (for the first time ever).
We used to do currency trades with Spalvins… In Adelaide?
Skase… I later worked with a dude that worked at one of the LA based banks. Skase apparently went in looking to borrow money (what else). He described how he was wearing a mink coat with small gold ingots as buttons.
The Memsahib wants to see Italy – she has relatives living there – and the whisky trail – through the Highlands of Scotland, is on my bucket list.
FWIW, Hungary is an eye opener. If you visit Budapest, go and visit the museum of the secret police, see the bullet holes in the walls of the Hungarian Parliament, and thank whatever God you worship that you live in a (relatively) free country.
Adelaide Steamship?
People, don’t be confused. The only reason he’s posting about future vacations and shit is because I mentioned that he slinks away for a day or so whenever he’s clipped over the head. He’s trying to show it’s not true. However the fact that he’s posting nonsense like that proves my point because he never behaves this way.

Scenes of VicPol violence at the protests that require investigation:
. Grandma toppled, head cracked, and facially pepper-sprayed (investigation underway)
. Man slumped against doorway out-of-action, but still being facially pepper-sprayed
. Man at railway station simply standing talking being side-tackled, head cracked as he was floored
. Woman running away with a group of men, chased by VicPol, floored with massive push by VicPol as she was running, so momentum to the ground was extreme; woman was specifically targetted
. Group of protesters being crash-tackled by numerous VicPol thugs, beaten and piled on while down
. Man at car simply talking with VicPol being surprise-ambushed, head cracked as floored, and set upon by goons in some sort of heavy-duty army-type fatigues – who were they, under what authority?
And this is just stuff I have seen without really trying to keep up.
God knows what else went on that is still on record, or that was never recorded.
Witness statements need to taken asap to help these injured people, recorded incidents or not.

The one word that has always be associated with Australia is egalitarian.
Whenever the left want to guilt us into some communist shit, they use the line they we are losing this characteristic. Australian writers and journalists fawn over the fact that Australians sit in the front seat of taxis, etc.
With what appears to be >50% of the Australian populace wanting to relegate a portion of their fellow citizens to tier two status, I’m thinking that this ‘egalitarian’ myth has been run over by a BearCat.
In fact, Australia better get used to the fact that may of the myths which drew people towards Australians, and Australia, have contracted have been demolished. Tourism, investment basic on low sovereign risk, etc. Our brand has been completely destroyed. Just one of the numerous consequences my grandchildren are going to feel.
As an aside, those SOGGIES (how appropriate) were wearing flight suits. Mainly because the SAS wear flight suits whilst during counter terrorism training. Always the wannabes. Tough men trouncing an unarmed population, who are seeking no more accommodation that the basic right to leave their homes, provide for their children, visit their families, and not be the subject of a medical experiment.
SOG members, you are weak as piss. Go back to getting your jollies bashing iced up criminals who are brandishing butter knifes. Real heroes defend Australians, not get off of telling them what to do…or laying the boot into them. They drive around in open top vehicles in Afghanistan, not armoured vehicles in Flinders St.
Heh.
Sorry, autocorrect has fucked up certain elements of my rant.
Are the soggies the ones who refused to turn out to apprehend gargoulis?
Actually, and on the subject of trouncing unarmed populations:
This week’s festivities started with, and starred the CFMEU throughout.
Construction workers. Who, when they’re not at the pub, work on construction sites. Which means that they have access to virtually unlimited stocks of edged weapons, blunt weapons, percussive weapons and throwing weapons. Otherwise known as tools.
I wonder what would have happened if the CFMEU types, when showing up to these protests, had intended to cause VicPol harm, instead of yelling at them and running them ragged?
The deployment of these coppers in all that light armour and shields, not to mention OC pepperball firearms is a partial attempt to justify their very expensive purchase in any event. If the union blokes had displayed any sort of actual bad intentions, the dressed-up effeminate milquetoasts that make up VicJack Inc in this day and age would have been routed in five minutes.
I miss Infidel Tiger’s comments.
#metoo
No, that would be the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT). Famous for never putting a boot on the ground. Literally one of those ‘all the gear and no idea’ outfits. Their self-designated and deserved sense of elitism led to them refusing to have anything to do with pinching Gargasoulas, despite them being a block away, with an armed Gargasoulas parked nose first in a car park with warrants for his arrest and having got up to blade-related mischief all that day.
There weren’t any divvy vans in that patch at the time. The CIRT were. They said he was low-hanging fruit and beneath them. Nine hours after that – boom.
Also, they are the wannabe SOG, who hate them.
Ohhhh…it would have been EPIC!
I also wonder what John Constantine would have made of this week’s events.
An partially-related homage:
Sigh.
SOG = wannabe SAS
CIRT = wannabe SOG
Etc
So much for egalitarianism. 😉

There were some recent and very cute changes to ASIC and MSIC requirements that basically mean that if you even get arrested you would lose your pass. So no airport or seaport workers. My guys were warned by their copper mates not to go for this very reason.
The cost of fines. The fines are of a scale that most simply could not afford to pay or defend after 18 months of being bled financially.
Assault by police and interactions with police. Most Australians have had very little to do with police. This combined with police joyfully beating the shit out of people has a lot scared to attend.
Who are issued two bricks upon acceptance, so they can put one under each armpit and walk around like the jumped up, mentally deficient gorillas that they are.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
The mob came for Carly after she dared to speak against lockdowns and give a voice to the suffering of many. Her IG video was viewed over 40,000,000 times, and within days the ‘mob’ had mobilised against her and a savage campaign to destroy Carly and push her to breaking point began.
But Carly isn’t so easily destroyed, she’s back with a vengeance and a fire in the belly that the mob won’t be able to put out.
No one can predict where slow chats will go, and this one is likely to be pretty wild! So grab a drink and settle into your favourite spot on the couch.

Mrs Nong, I’m wondering if you’ve told your “Jewish grandchildren” about the anti-Semites you follow on social media? Such as the racist Steve Johnson at StopFundingisrael. Mr Johnson likes to “Expose Zionist Crimes” and mocks the six million murdered.
But is it that you don’t mind such putrid racism all because the likes of Mr Johnson are anti-vaxxers? Hmm?

What a day!
I need to debrief and process a LOT from today. There’s some GREAT news today that I’ll talk about, and then there’s the issue of today’s protest which was VERY up and down, and there’s also the matter of violence… or the theory of violence, which we really need to start talking about.
Yesterday we walked down to Watson’s Bay Doyle’s to pick up lunch and eat it on the local tables there. It’s a very fave spot for many people with the vista from the park and beach down the harbour to the city, so it was fairly busy, but not what you’d call packed. I did the purchasing at the counter open to the air, and completely forgot to put on a mask. I was still served politely. Hairy laughed at me being the only one in the queue who was maskless, and the queue was the only place where people were wearing masks at all. In retaliation I said you wait for the order and I’ll go search for a table, for most seemed full. He pointed me to some little round tables set over a metre apart on the edge of the pub, so I walked towards one obviously intending to sit at it. Grumpy man with mask around his neck said that’s not 1.5 metres away, so I backed off to look at a spare table of the same sort a bit further up, past two young blokes chatting. It was the same distance from them as the one I first chose was from grumpy. You can sit there, that’s fine by us say this maskless pair. We start chatting and Hairy arrives with the food, complaining that a Karen had appeared from the citizenry and was trying to boss those waiting for the food pick up to put masks on for that too. People seem to have told her to get lost, as she wasn’t official, just officious.
So the Grumps and Karens are still around. Always will be I expect. We had a great chat with the young blokes about the prospects of overseas travel and the horrors of hotel quarantine.
The YouTube link’s for those not on Facebook.
But back to Facebook (because most people stay where they first grow),

Where’s the lie?
If Australia’s brutal response to lockdown protests was happening elsewhere, hypocritical Canberra would be demanding sanctions
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/535427-australia-police-lockdown-protestors/
Protestors may be saying that it is mandatory vaccination they are protesting about however a metaphor in the sense of a sign or symbol of their lives since March 2020 . Life in turmoil , stress and fed a litany of lies to keep them in order and this seen as the final straw . Would the majority of tradies be able to articulate what they are really and truly feeling . I have sat opposite many men who could identify anger but not able to express others like loss and grief and their perceived failure as a man.
I was with friends in the park this week discussing Hugh Mackay’s latest book on kindness and asked a male friend to name 5 of his strengths and he could not do do it . Are retired professional in allied health well read in pop psychology so how do you reckon a tradie would go . The point being be kind to yourself first.

Go hard youse magnificent Melbourne mob, I’ll even forgive you for waiting 250 days.
Desecrate Grand Final Day “public” holiday. Go oooon, the AFL have already trussed up the greatest game on earth in rainbow ribbon, and have had the shame campaign pissing all over it for a decade now. There’s meant to be a million Tigers fans, they’ve got nothing in particular to do- get ye to a nunnery, wimple up a disguise you wimps, can’t be too hard with thousands in yellow and black to be anonymous. Pretend it’s a protest to free Dusty’s dad or something worthy, the Left will be right on board with bringing violent ethnic crims in because compassion.
No-one cares about the footy in Perth. If the sun’s out, they’ll be down the beach. C’mon Daddy McClown, cancel the crowd at the footy! You did it for the derby, what’s the big difference?
Ditto for NSW Working with Children Cards get arrested & charged – card revoked. Even if charges are dropped or you are found not guilty in a court, the Children’s Commissioner can take their sweet time restoring it after doing their own investigation.
A chap at a neighbouring school got in trouble with NSWPlod whilst drunk when he was at Uni, but was never convicted. 2o or so years later he lost the card when it showed up after the rule change & he was suspended without pay for 2 years while the CC did its thing. This happened half way through an academic year & his year 12 students suffered biggly. But “won’t somebody think of the children?’
A young woman in my office attended the Sydney protest at the end of July. She foolishly uploaded pictures of herself at the protest on social media…..Instragram. Someone dobbed her into the the police, she got a knock on the door and she’s been fined $1,000. She says she’s going to fight it. Good luck to her. I told her I support the protests but you never upload stuff like that onto social media. It comes back to my thread of last week about “privacy”……people, especially young people, don’t understand the importance of privacy and that it isn’t necessary to gloat about everything they do on social media. Maybe, since we’re now a police state, people will be more mindful of privacy and secrecy.
according to a certain website this is a photo of John Setka and Dan Andrews. Grecian 2000 affected by the supply chain?

Any chance you could link to the video Carly mentioned? The one with 44 million views, please?
Given the lack of sleep over the past 30 years due to other reasons – over the last couple of years it’s even worse when it should be getting better thank heavens for some comic relief- love Johannes Leak’s bespectacled, jug-eared, pink-arsed King Kong depiction of Dictator Dan –
Palaszczuk hints that she’s going to do a McGowan:
“Opening the borders at 80% would mean going backwards.”
Well-written article on Ozcatraz by James Morrow linked to by Rosie above. What a sad excuse for a nation we have become. In a new magazine in the UK called The Critic. Looks interesting.
She says she’s going to fight it.
Just don’t pay. That how most got off last year, government gave up with only about 30% collected.
Farewell my three Queenslander grandchildren, aged 6,5 and 1. Growing up without my hugs.
This rotten political female cares more for her own skin than anything else.
Hmmm
Hopefully tens of thousands of Queenslanders will travel outside the state then Roger and overwhelm her quarantine options on their return.
Funny how the most ‘macho’ states seem most afeared of the bug.
Sneakers has tied himself to the mast. Will it work for an ex Navy lawyer? Let’s see what Little Kerry has to say in six months once the goalposts are moved.

Maybe the protesters should change gears and go for a drive?
Although we would miss the joy and chafing of the fat Vikpol turtles waddling around the CBD.
Our lawyer son says that’s what he intends to do if nabbed, citing that 30% figure and clogged Courts.
Don’t get in harm’s way, Hairy advises, or you could lose your Practicing Certification.
Son says he is beginning not to care. Sick of lockdowns and their social effects. He’ll take whatever they throw at him in order to make his voice heard. Young hothead, Hairy says to me, forgetting how hotheaded he was when we first met. Very ‘Cat Stevens’ old to young between those two. 🙂
Not on Facebook. Any other link?
Link please.
Reminds me of a long and hot walking site tour with senior management in PNG.
My safety guy about halfway through:
“Rick, I can’t go on!”
“What?!”
“Chafing!”
“Oh, ok!”
Hobbles back to the site office! 🙂
Prediction: She’ll just tell them they were warned.
She’s getting very tetchy.
There’s underpants for that. Recommended by 9 out 10 Samoan men. Apparently.
Interesting that the Working with Children card comes up on the same day that many here have commented on the deterioration of trust in the police.
A couple of months ago I did my WWC for a pastoral position. Passed with flying colours, except for one question. If I thought a child was at immediate risk, what would I do? There was no option called “hop in your car, go to the house in question and remove the child”, so I said contact my immediate superior.
Apparently the correct answer was “contact the police”. I found that very telling about my own, quite recent, mindset.
Sorry, that was on Instagram & I don’t Instagram.
I don’t know yet if it went elsewhere.
I’m listening to her Talk with Topher between doing other things and if I come across it somewhere else it’s posted, I’ll get it up here.
My Queensland relatives might as well be in another country.
Hell, my Sydney grandchildren are too.
Hard not to hate our jailers.

Everyone got a container of talcum powder the next day.
The real problem was that after a constant diet of greasy Chinese stir fry and rice for site lunches each day (at their insistence). Some of their uniforms were starting to look pretty tight!
Spare a moment to consider how it must be for munty when he plays golf….

Never forget what they have taken from us.

Seems apt.
Luckily he dresses for comfort.
Megan here was noticing sleep disturbance too, Tinta, and so am I. Others too I suspect.
Going to bed tired but angry doesn’t help. I fade straight off in exhaustion but then find myself awake five or six hours later still mulling over my various outrages, and so I get up rather than anguish away. Then mid-afternoon I need a nap, which I hate taking, because I like my days to be days and my nights to be nights. Eight hours straight sleep happens for me now only about half the time.
Hairy says it must be hormones (wot men always say) so go back on oestrogen. I think maybe this time he’s right. I went off it for the big operation and AZ jabs but will now resume transdermal dose.
I also think once sleep deprived with children (and adult children and grandchildren) a woman gets into a pattern of expecting sleep deprivation. We have to start being kinder to ourselves and doing less, imho. Germaine Greer once said that post-menopausal women across the ages have always been ‘up betimes’, tending to the morning fires and stirring the porridge for the extended family. We still are doing that tending, metaphorical porridge though it may be now.
Thank you, Roger.
“Sorry, that was on Instagram & I don’t Instagram.”
No…but you do read and link to anti-Semitic sites.
“Never forget what they have taken from us.”
I won’t Bern…looking forward to getting of Sharma too.

Small in comparison to their 4WD, small in comparison to the construction worker, and apparently shorter than the woman who was filming their idiocy.
Reminds me of an old saying.
“Big man, big prick, little man, all prick.”
And yet this boastfully politically active character, daily, publicly abuses me for not “PROVING” who I, my children & grandchildren are, then tops it off with calling me a liar for protecting the identity of me & mine?
No worries.
“Hard not to hate our jailers.”
I loathe them all. My sister is in an LGA, I have not seen her since June…she may as well be on the moon.
We have a family zoom call every Friday afternoon.
A fine figure of a man. 🙂
I have a bit of time for M0nty as we have fashioned him more in our Catallaxy image, resist though he might and still does; he even wanted to keep the Cat going, and not as a troll but a genuine contributor.
“And yet this boastfully politically active character, daily, publicly abuses me for not “PROVING” who I, my children & grandchildren are, then tops it off with calling me a liar for protecting the identity of me & mine?”
Oh dear…if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen Mrs Nong. Oh and have you told your “Jewish grandchildren” that you read and link to anti-Semitic websites?
Now I get it….Mrs Nong thinks that being an anti-vaxxer discounts any anti-Semitism.
Sancho – the bobcats were needed to help dispose of the ginormous mounds of rubbish and excrement left at the Shrine by the extreme right wing anti-vaxx rioters after they’d been peacefully apprehended or moved on by VikPol.
And from WA – McClown is now demanding 90% jabs before opening up the state border (?) – heard some idiot yabbering on about it, not sure if it was McClown or the chief medico. Take out quote: “The more you comply, the freer you’ll be”.
We are governed by staggeringly stupid tinpot li’l hitlers.
Where is the leader of the federation to defend the concept of Australia and Australians?
The elected leader of the thing we created literally and specifically to allow people and goods to move anywhere on this continent without the permission of all-powerful, corrupt, colonial governers. This is 100% his fault and his failing.
ssr, I haven’t seen anyone here asking you to ‘out’ yourself and your IRL identity.
You may have been asked to stand up for what you say, but so are we all asked that.

Are Sydneysiders still confined to lgas even if totally jabbed?
I can’t keep up with the rules.
Even with the new improved 10km limit i can’t accidentally into certain family members at a cross over location, need a 15 km limit to do that.
“Are Sydneysiders still confined to lgas even if totally jabbed?”
Yep.
Now if we could do something about that reverse pivot …
Morrison is going to have to address this the minute Gladys declares NSW open.
Which she had bloody well better do as promised.
