Month: September 2021

  • The New World Order is taking shape

    This is beyond cynical. The real issue is what do they know they are not telling the rest of us: Members of Congress, their staffs will be exempt from Biden’s federal vaccine mandate. While President Joe Biden is using a legally questionable statute to enforce what is essentially a vaccine mandate on the American workforce,…

  • Mater’s Musings #23: I like the Shirt

    I like the T-Shirt. It strikes a chord with me. I think I might buy one.

  • A Response to Vikki: A Symbol of Servitude

    I posted this on ANZAC Day 2020, less than a month into lockdowns in Victoria. Having read Vikki’s contribution last night, and being 17 months further into it, with even tighter restrictions on some individuals and families, with even more ‘exempt’ people and occupations coming out of the woodwork, I am posting it again. From…

  • This is what doctors are not permitted to say or permitted to do

    So much for free speech and open debate. First there’s this from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, Registered health practitioners and students: What you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and this is what they state (amongst other things). ‘There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any…

  • Guest Post: Vikki Campion – Let our PM be human

    Attacking ScoMo for visiting his kids sets a new low for Labor Are we talking out of our backside when we talk about mental health or are we fair dinkum? When a father — in this case the Prime Minister of Australia — follows the state-prescribed health orders to return home to see his kids,…

  • Mater’s Musings #22: What Risk?

    I’m going to keep this short and sweet and to the point. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has this on its website: It says: “We only register a vaccine if its benefits are much greater than its risks”

  • Who’s in charge of the asylum? A bunch of tyrannical fools, that’s who

    Surely this time they have gone too far: Now they’re confiscating alcohol delivered to locked-down Australian apartments if booze volume exceeds state-sanctioned limits.

  • Open Thread – Weekend 11 Sept 2021

  • Roadmap to a brave new enlightenment

    Under the Gladys Berejiklian’s lauded dispensations, “Only fully vaccinated people and those with medical exemptions will have access to the freedoms allowed under the Reopening NSW roadmap.” For example, the Monday after the 70% target is reached, retail will be opened. Drool in envy Melbournians. If only Dan was so enlightened. If you doubt that tune…

  • Mater’s Musings #21: A Metaphor

    I was sent this earlier by a long time Cat. He thought it was a bit of a metaphor for the new ‘Australia’. I agreed, except for the fact that three points of the Federation Star still appear to be united as one…tenuously. I wonder which three States they represent? I think we can rule…
