I suspect the feather bedded work conditions provided by TaliDan in return for the use of emergency vehicles as Labor billboards last election might have something to do with it.

Wonder why he was treated so well.
To play devils advocate…
Skaf (pigs be upon him) didnt kill anyone, nor set out to kill anyone.
Coutts-trotter may have killed unintentionally through the misuse of a product he supplied. At the least he knew he was supplying a substance with a risk of misuse and death by his customers.

It appears that MPs and their staff are also going to be exempt from today’s PHO. So add them to court workers and Commonwealth employees. Hold the line. The legal validity of these orders is very questionable.

Even without the dubious way he got employed in the first place, a lieboral premier has again appointed and promoted someone with ALP credentials.
But he’s had a turn up today with the Saudi sovereign wealth fund buying his beloved Newcastle FC.
Pity most women can’t ready past a primary school level in Saudi Arabia, but at least those oil dollars can buy another play thing.

As to the education level of women in Saudi Arabia that’s a bit like comparing the cries for money over the never-ending famines in Africa to the never ending troughin’ in Canberra .. end result .. nuttin’ changes!
Today the press were camped outside the family home and reported on a take away food delivery of pizz & garlic bread.
He’ll be getting off on the attention.
Maybe there is something to be said for an Ardern style unpersoning in such cases?

Do you believe in rehabilitation?
A press release just lobbed. ‘Fluffy floaties’ indeed:
World Renown Yogi Shanti Gowans declares “People Must Be More Anal About Their Health!”
Celebrated Yogi, Shanti Gowans, of The Health Institute Australiasia located in Southport QLD wants the world to know a secret that Ayurvedic Medical Practitioners have known for over 5000 years.
That secret is that the gut can be the cause or the solution to so many of today’s health issues.
Shanti Gowans states that “If people only knew that their their bowel movements could Transform their lives in ways that they cannot image” they would be trying to create fluffy floaties every chance they get….”
Attention deprivation?
Do you believe in rehabilitation?
Sure do- maybe starting as a counter clerk and working his way up from there or perhaps an apprentice fitting/machinist. That’s very labor isn’t it? Why straight to the top?
..
Only on the steps of the gallows.
After all, a criminal record can preclude employment in the NSW pubic service.

“Trans sporting guidelines: calls to update or scrap Australian policy
Australia’s controversial transgender sporting guidelines should be scrapped in the wake of a landmark UK sporting review that found men have innate performance advantages over females.
Controversial transgender sporting guidelines should be scrapped, according to pro-female sport advocates, in the wake of a landmark UK sporting review that found trans women have innate performance advantages when competing with other women.
The 18-month review of sporting bodies in the UK found trans women retain strength, stamina and physique advantages when competing in female sports, even when they reduce their testosterone levels.
“This guidance concludes that for many sports, the inclusion of transgender people, fairness and safety cannot coexist in a single competitive model,” the UK Sports Council reported.
It suggested individual sports choose to focus on either “inclusion” or “fairness and safety where relevant”, perhaps creating an “open” division, separate from a women’s division, in an attempt to be fairer to women.
Sport Australia, previously the Australian Sports Commission, has come under fire over its 2019 transgender guidelines, with concerns around fairness and safety. Those guidelines were drafted with the Human Rights Commission, allowing athletes born male to self-identify as women and play against females.
Liberal Senator Claire Chandler said it was “staggering” that the Sport Australia’s guidelines are still in use.
“Sport Australia’s position that entry into women’s sport should be based on self-declared gender identity rather than sex is so nonsensical that it is staggering their discredited guidelines haven’t been withdrawn,” she said.
“Their UK counterparts have shown that when you use common sense and look at the evidence, the only logical conclusion is that single-sex women’s sport is necessary to ensure fairness for female athletes.”
In response, a Sport Australia spokesman said the guidelines would only require updating if the 1984 Federal Sex Discrimination Act was changed.
Calls to ‘rethink’ biological men in women’s sportCricket kids are being asked if they’re ‘gender fluid’
“The guidelines provide clarity to sports regarding existing law, specifically the Federal Sex Discrimination Act (1984) and how it applies to sport,” he said. “The guidelines would only require updating if the Act is changed.”
Senator Chandler said the agency should engage with the questions raised by the UK review and was “out of touch” with public expectations.
I also believe grades 3-6 will be made to wear masks when they return to school.
What next for Victoria ?
Seriously, right when you think it can’t get any worse for those poor people.

“Oh no, why could kids be convinced they are about to burn for Gaia after we have shoveled climate porn down their necks 24/7 since they were born”?
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/oct/06/eco-anxiety-fear-of-environmental-doom-weighs-on-young-people
The climate crisis is taking a growing toll on the mental health of children and young people, experts have warned.
Increasing levels of “eco-anxiety” – the chronic fear of environmental doom – were likely to be underestimated and damaging to many in the long term, public health experts said.
Writing in the British Medical Journal, Mala Rao and Richard Powell, of Imperial College London’s Department of Primary Care and Public Health, said eco-anxiety “risks exacerbating health and social inequalities between those more or less vulnerable to these psychological impacts”.
Although not yet considered a diagnosable condition, recognition of eco-anxiety and its complex psychological effects was increasing, they said, as was its “disproportionate” impact on children and young people.
In their article, they pointed to a 2020 survey of child psychiatrists in England showing that more than half (57%) are seeing children and young people distressed about the climate crisis and the state of the environment.
..
And the focus workgroup is in.
The key to saving kids is encouraging moar!! climate collectivism, living in the pods, eating the bugs and owning nothing and being happy about it…
“The best chance of increasing optimism and hope in the eco-anxious young and old is to ensure they have access to the best and most reliable information on climate mitigation and adaptation,” they said. “Especially important is information on how they could connect more strongly with nature, contribute to greener choices at an individual level, and join forces with like-minded communities and groups.”
Separately, new research also published in the BMJ suggests changing unhealthy behaviour* could be key to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Theresa Marteau, of the University of Cambridge, said technological innovation alone would be insufficient.
Adopting a largely plant-based diet and taking most journeys using a combination of walking, cycling and public transport would substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health, she said.
* Unhealthy behavior, Ie: Living a normal western lifestyle.
We are fast degenerating back to a neo feudal sumptuary laws based society.

If he does not stay in charge, his “dealings” might be exposed…..
It’ll be interesting how NSW will now fare – if it’s more of what Gladbags was dishing up, then NSW will follow Victoria.
If NSW & Vic have been sold to the CCP, then all Australia has.
Wow!

[Not trying to steal away from BoN] But: Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by land / sea and released / re-radiated as infrared (IR) – I think most can understand this…
The below diagram is the standard representation of how “transparent” the atmospheric gasses are to the electromagnetic EM spectrum. Essentially where they are not transparent (and absorb the EM radiation) there is a shaded / lump.
As you can see CO2 has a solid lump at about the 10-15um range where no other gasses have – and this means that the outgoing EM radiation in the IR range is absorbed by the CO2, and – rather than passing through the atmosphere and out to space. Once the CO2 molecule absorbs the IR energy it gets excited and becomes more kinetic and on collision with other molecules, passes the energy on or it eventually re-radiates the IR energy (in all directions including downward), essentially heating the land / sea again.
Have a look here…
http://www.ces.fau.edu/nasa/module-2/how-greenhouse-effect-works.php
Whilst this explains how the greenhouse works – it does not explain why we are all doomed…! Especially since CO2 is such small % of the atmosphere. And this is where water vapour comes in. The theory being that the additional downwelling IR radiation and warmer atmosphere must heat the oceans and these in turn release more water vapour.
AND THAT is the gas that does the damage as it absorbs IR at a much larger spectrum … and hence heats the atmosphere even faster.
If you want to understand the actual physics … start with Planck’s black body radiation and Stefan / Bolzman emission laws
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

If Kerry Chant has announced a new Double Secret Probation Delta that is entirely within her remit, such as it is. Perrottet can hardly stop her announcing medical stuff.
Whatever you might think, it looks to me like she is trying to raise the stakes. If she can get enough people clamouring for Perrottet to restore her to her previous position as Covsmeller Pursuivant.
Question is what is he going to do with the information. If he edges toward increasing restrictions or postponing opening up then he loses and any momentum he may have gained will be lost.
If he says, “Well, if you get the sniffles get a hot cup of tea and have a lie down” then there will be some hope.
Wally (2)
It is very interesting then to see the applied physics in action. [Which is why I’m belabouring this as this demonstrates another flaw in the Greenhouse GW theory]
If we take a look at a CO2 laser in action … beam at the 15 um range (i.e. CO2 absorption/emission), then it will cut through metal with zero problems. Here is a vid of a 130W laser doing that (at 1.15).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNcapGmzIOg
If we then look at a CO2 laser … again with the beam at the 15um range warming water … then something different occurs. Only the surface layer is warmed / heated by this 200W laser. The laser does not penetrate [see for example 1.30 where the user tests the temp by fully immersing his finger in the cup]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St42DnA_Swo&t=18s
Or same here in a much shorter vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m74ylCraCVE
The argument is that water will not allow IR to pass … it will even stop focused / coordinated laser beams in the hundreds of watts!

Tim, you write: AHPRA wrote to every doctor in Australia to discourage them from putting “covid vaccine” as a cause of death on death certificates.
Have a link? I just searched AHPRA’s website without any luck.
I actually saw it somewhere on this site.
I’ll try to recall where and see if I can track it down.
Does this make car manufacturers responsible for chicken truck drivers or anyone else that kills someone in a crash. Personally I don’t give a fat rats bum about druggies dying. I care about their loved ones.

Both set out to do deplorable actions which may kill or derail a persons life, knowingly and with forethought.
One is now in the top public service position in a state.
The other slithered home to its family after 15 or so years in prison.
areff,
I’m sure I did see something on this site about AHPRA warning doctors off including the vaxx on death certificates but I can’t locate anything specific. The attached link is a Qld health publication which is at least literally in somewhat milder terms.
If I do suddenly recall where I saw it I’ll look it up and post it.
Delta Tau Chi? Mandatory togas next.
I also believe grades 3-6 will be made to wear masks when they return to school.

Wasn’t the one Gladys nominated a card carrying communist and incompetent to boot? How could he be worse?
Rorsharchch- thanks heaps for your input. I had forgotten the radiation by spectrum chart, and the splits between atmospheric components.
It does keep me thinking that N2 and O2 do have a little bit of activity, although that is scotched by Bruce in Newcastle’s info for IR photons at least. But, considering that there is about five hundred times as much O2 in the atmosphere as CO2, and a magnitude more again for N2, there would not have to be much of a “greenhouse effect” from either to put CO2 in the shade.
I’ll try to find a link about comlumnar CO2 distribution. CH4 is meant to be very light and, considering it’s largely made of termite farts, high-minded.
Probably don’t know and definitely don’t care. How naive to think this actually has anything to do with health.

Rorschach – Water vapour absorbs about 50% in that range and liquid water 100%. They never show liquid water on those charts for some weird reason. It’s a mystery.
Wiki
And as I said: liquid water is a sink for the energy since it gets locked up as latent heat until the resultant water vapour gets to the troposphere and rains out.

Haven’t checked backthread, but Warren Mundine in the Oz, fabulous article, clearly expressed in ways people can really relate to, criticising lockdowns and the damage they have done and are still doing.
I can copy parts of it if it hasn’t already been mentioned. Featured comments running in the 500 likes and most of them totally in favour of his piece.
For any Cats who may have followed Peter Ridd’s case, a message from him today.

The interesting thing is that water itself cannot be warmed by downwelling IR! IR just can not penetrate past the surface layer.
This is a major flaw in the runaway greenhouse argument… a) if downwelling IR can’t warm the oceans … then how are they warming? [or are they really?] b) if the oceans can’t be warmed, then how are they supposed to expand and drown all the coasts?
https://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-sea-level/global-sea-level/thermal-expansion
This issue has been looked at many times – but no good explanation found.
Here is the Climate Science gang looking at it… They conclude that because they can prove that IR can warm the skin layer of the ocean (itself only micrometer or so thick), then this can warm many kilometres of water column below (hmm… micrometers warm kilometres? And heat sinks rather than rises?)
https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/09/why-greenhouse-gases-heat-the-ocean/

Thank you for this. It’s like a breath of fresh air. I have long admired Warren Mundine.
I think Perrottet understands this. Let’s hope he has the courage to lead the state out of this wilderness, not follow the bureaucrats deeper into the mire.
He hasn’t! …….. period! .. that’s why he didn’t alter GLADYS time frame(s) by much frightened of party room & Photios reaction ……. against passports/lockdowns before .. not a peep out of him now he’s BOSS!
Timothy: Thanks for that link. It’s an eye-opener.
The SMH this morning ran the story of China having to use Australian coal again – tucked away at the bottom of page 31.
Warren Mundine mentions What are they doing about other public health priorities? What are they doing about the health problems created by their own lockdowns (Thanks Lizzie)
Lo and behold The Australian backs up his concerns with this article:
Lockdowns have resulted in delays to surgery for life-threatening cancers, with one in seven patients having to wait on average an extra five months.
A study published in the Lancet, involving 20,000 patients from 61 countries, found that high-income countries, including Australia, had experienced severe delays because of the pandemic. Surgeons reported that lockdowns had had collateral impacts on cancer patients, with life-threatening bowel cancers, breast cancer and gynaecological cancers including ovarian and uterine cancers commonly delayed.
Bastards.
Clip from a 1995 speech
I don’t know if this is exactly what has transpired, but there have been several mentions of something called Lucerferin which apparently enables external physical contact with vaccinated people. I know this sounds incredible but so much of what is happening is. One doctor mentioned in a speech that a friend tried using a fake vax certificate to travel overseas and when she went through the security scan they picked up that she was not vaccinated. Perhaps that’s why all those metal bits which people keep finding in the vaccines under microscopes were put there.
Dover, thank you for the artwork which accompanies many of the posts here, it’s worthwhile coming here just to appreciate the art.
The theory being that the additional downwelling IR radiation and warmer atmosphere must heat the oceans and these in turn release more water vapour.
IR cannot penetrate the ocean surface. CO2 radiation doesn’t heat water.
Isotropy, the mechanism you were describing in respect of the absorption and emission by CO2 of IR radiation, as an explanation for the greenhouse is confounded by at least 2 processes. Firstly saturation, where by the CO2 in the atmosphere cannot absorb any more radiation; see Hammer. This is a little less complicated. And this shows the saturation effect graphically. And this that the effect on temperature of increases in CO2 decreases.
The second contradiction is the window, or that part of the spectrum of outgoing radiation where CO2 has no effect. Kiehl and Trenberth in their infamous 1997 paper calculated this at 40w-m^2. This now appears to be far too low with some estimates now putting it at twice that. That’s a 40w-m^2 underestimation and since the greenhouse effect is supposed to create a warming effect of 3.7w-m^2 you can see how a 40w-m^2 error dwarves the so-called greenhouse warming effect.
Oh dear! .. BRADBURY‘s gotten all upset cos Tomato has gotten all upset! .. Blaming social media for all the nasty, negative stuff he & Tomato don’t like ..

roundly … stuff absorbs EM radiation in broad spectra and then re-emits in narrow spectra.

Believe it or not
True or false, what is absolutely clear, and you don’t need to be a genius to work it out, is that everything that is happening supposed for our benefit and health is nothing but cover for evil intentions against us. From the (manufactured) virus itself, to the dubious “vaccines” to the lockdowns, to the forced masking, which is KNOWN to be of no benefit, to the withholding of effective therapeutics, NONE of this is actually for our good.
Perhaps Cory Bernardi said it best.

Sure do- maybe starting as a counter clerk and working his way up from there or perhaps an apprentice fitting/machinist. That’s very labor isn’t it?
That’s just sooooo 20th Century. The Labor way these days is to “do” Arts/Law at uni, become a union “research officer”, then take either the “union secretary” course (in a line of actual work they wouldn’t touch with a barge pole), and end up with a safe spot on the Senate ticket, or become a staffer in a pollie’s office, then work up to a couple of tries at a marginal Reps seat, then get the prized safe seat.

Look, I have nothing to go on other that what the dude said. He’s a really decent doc and the reason I trust him is that he spent about 5 years learning the cardio trade under another Australian doc at Lennox Hill in NYC. The senior ran the cardio dept there. Really, I only trust American docs or docs taught at Melbourne or Sydney Universities. Everyone else are just nursing staff as far as I’m concerned. Anyways, I’m digressing.
My cardio dude said his practice is very busy with (almost all) young people suffering side effects from the Pfizer drug. They appear to be suffering very mild vascular related issues – typically heart related inflammation. A large number suffer some heart region pain and then panic because they’re young and have never really experienced pains of that nature before. More likely , mum and dad are panicking. All of it is eminently treatable, he said.
He said likes the AZ shot more because the foundation of the shot is based on the flu vaccine calling it a re-purposed drug. It’s not like the other two that are mRNA based and much newer. He also said that that the worry time is really about two months after the vax and past that the risk is infinitesimal.
REMARKS TO THE YUSHAN FORUM – TAIPEI, TAIWAN
TONY ABBOTT OCTOBER 8, 2021
But, but what happens to the global warming and with hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in the closing months of summer? And the Paris accords?
Old bloke we’ve discussed this.
It’s almost certainly a prescription for someone with a severe case of crusted scabies based on the prescription information (refer to the TGA website for details).
The person who put the picture on the internet actually says they don’t have covid plus the dosages for covid seems to always be 3 or 5 days continuous.
Coal is King.
Looks like the King is returning from exile and will resume the throne.
Naaa. It’s here for a time, but eventually much cheaper and much more abundant energy will come from fission and longer term, fusion. That’s where the world is headed.
The irony is only surpassed by the hypocrisy. Really is amazing how clueless these people are. Mortgaging their whole electricity grid to Putin for Russian gas and expecting something other than to be ripped off?
And the Chinese zeroing Australian coal imports in a fit of pique only to cause widespread blackouts and factory closures? Is that schadenfreude or what?
This century is insane, it really is. So much self-harm for absolutely no reason at all.
I saw “Vaxed” caps for sale at a Druggist, what a dumb society we live in. The upside is I haven’t seen any chump wearing one – yet.

Great end-line by Abbott: “I won’t end urging you to stay safe. Rather something nobler and higher; stay free.”
What the hell went wrong when he was PM? I know he was handicapped by having a Coalition party room comprising as gutless a clown troupe of half-witted self-seeking incompetent repellent treacherous slapstick nonentities as has ever been assembled in one place in the history of (purportedly) sentient life, but it really looked like six months in he just gave up.
Agreed JC. I don’t know how the fusion stuff will turn out, but there’re some interesting byways that people are researching. Stuff like lithium and boron as fusion elements, rather than deuterium and tritium (which is a pain in the bum, as the Japs are finding right now).
Vlad Delux:
Correct.
I realised my mistake later.
Yesterday, I witnessed why this “cuntry” is inundated with “dobbers”. Couldn’t find a park so I slotted into a loading zone and went to get my coffee and cig. There’s a park across the road with seats facing the street. I got back into the car with the goodies and noticed a bald idiot sitting on a park seat by himself nodding towards me. I took down the car window and I asked him if he was nodding at me. He said he was because I was parked in a loading zone. I nicely told him to mind his own fucking business and if he had nothing to do, he needed to get busy trying to figure out how he can grow some hair on his stupid bald head. I let my cig and drove off.

WA Health Minister Roger Cook says hospitals already under pressure due to COVID-19
The narrative on their ABCcess this afternon was “1200 exra patients (Australiawide) has broken the hospitals.
All the excess deaths coming down the track (from RESTRICTIONS!!) are because of covid…”
Its almost like they are all singing from the same rehearsed hymn sheet.
Morriswine showing a rare display of spinal matter.
Might last the weekend before he caves in.
Western Australia’s Health Minister Roger Cook has lashed out at the federal government, saying WA hospitals have experienced increased demand due to COVID-19 — despite the state not having had a major outbreak — and more funding is required.
“Delta is coming and I’m tired of the Commonwealth continuing to fail in its national leadership obligations to assist the country [to] come out of the [COVID-19] pandemic,” Mr Cook said.
“It’s time for the Prime Minister to be a Prime Minister of Australia, not just New South Wales.”
On Thursday, Mr Morrison said states had been able to prepare for COVID-19 surges in their health systems for the past 18 months, and the federal government had provided enough money to fund hospitals.

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/oct/08/cuts-uk-meat-consumption-doubled-health-researchers-food
Britons have cut their meat consumption by 17% over the past decade but will need to double these efforts if they are to meet targets for healthy diets and sustainable food production set out in the national food strategy earlier this year.
Meat production is a major contributor to global heating and land degradation, while eating lots of red and processed meat has been linked to a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer.
For these reasons, the government-commissioned national food strategy for England recently recommended that people try to cut their meat consumption by about 30% within the next decade.

To understand how much meat people in the UK are currently eating, Cristina Stewart, a health behaviours researcher at the University of Oxford, and colleagues turned to dietary data recorded in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey. This annual exercise involves asking a nationally representative sample of the population to keep a food diary for four consecutive days.
The analysis, published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health, found that between 2008-9 and 2018-19 participants’ average meat consumption decreased from about 103g per person a day to 86g, a reduction of about 17g or 17%. This is equivalent to eating roughly two and a half fewer pork sausages each week.
Not much different to your scenario, remember? I fucking do.
Nurse Betty, how about Chinese soldiers being flown into Tullamarine that you “scenarialized” some while ago on the old Cat? How that scenario going, you complete idiot. You turtle head.
You were told on the old Cat to stay away, after you laughingly threatened legal action either against Sinclair or myself for being mocked. Being mocked with you existing under an alias. Stay away and don’t try to run with posses like you did a couple of days ago with Faulty 2.
Also, don’t grovel. I have zero interest in anything you have to say and less than zero interacting with you because I don’t respect any opinion you post. Nothing. However, I will retaliate at my leisure when you try to pull a posse stunt like that. Just stop trying to interact with me and fuck right off, you ridiculous clown.
Don’t think for a second your attempts to join posses here won’t be met with a harsher reaction, you pathetic wimp.

It’s not often that a surf club asks to see your health status. And log it into their computer records. (NB the email system was hacked very recently). And gives other club members the right to check your health status. And bars entry depending on your vaccination status.
It is pure discrimination. At least Rosa Parks was allowed on the bus.
