On the shit which are EVs:
Yeah I read this on the other thread (they change so fast here!). The links provided by the bloke were full of shit with such spasms of poop as EVs are carbon neutral and calculations about cost and electricity use only some deranged greenie could produce. To drive an average EV 100 klms requires more electricity then the average house uses in a day. That’s just residential demand which is about 20% of over-all demand. As well there is grid compatibility. The batteries in the stupid fucking things require DC whereas the grid pumps out AC.
I could go on. Anyone who advocates EVs while replacing fossils with wind and solar is a fucking lunatic.
Dover that sounds just like that contemptable little grub. Remember his uni thesis was ‘make the polluter pay’. Obscene when you remember tax payers have been keeping him and daddy in fine style for decades.
Suffer, Mo. You chose this mob…From the Australian.
The batteries in the stupid fucking things require DC whereas the grid pumps out AC.
True but conversion from one to the other isn’t a problem. Easier is AC to Dc but the other way just requires some not fancy power electronics.
Yeah, EV’s are shit except in special circumstances.
Toyota has said there is not enough electrical generating capacity to convert to electric cars.
Anyone who advocates EVs while replacing fossils with wind and solar is a fucking lunatic.

Had a tilt at preselection but unsuccessful so went back the Monaro where she got picked up by Berjiklian for a Senate Seat. Apparently a “businesswoman” of non descript type. Sorry for the sarcasm but aren’t they all in the Liberals these days.

Steph Ryan certainly personifies all that is wrong with modern Australian politics. Labor boyfriend, ‘worked’ for Failyou, National MP. All that’s missing is a Green connection.

Nothing to do with industrial consumption, or commercial transport (trucks, rail, etc), which I agree is bigger.

Conspiracies – would we have a word for them if they didn’t exist?
And are we who are labelled “conspiracy theorists” really your class enemies? Or are we your friends simply telling you the truth before you’re ready to hear it?
Would it be easier to accept that conspiracies happen if we called them “confluences of congruent interests?”
What, other than great wealth, do those who regularly fly into Switzerland in their private jets to meet at Davos have in common beyond congruent interests?
The difference between a conference and a conspiracy lies in intent, with the later involving illegality, wrongfulness, or subversion.
Our Constitution is being disregarded – isn’t that illegal?
We’re being denied the simple, cheap COVID-19 cures being used in over 40 other countries – isn’t that wrong?
The “National Cabinet” that seems to be our ruling junta has no basis in statute or precedent – isn’t that subversion of our system of governance?

The 1958 book ‘The Naked Communist’ by former FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen lists the 45 goals of communism.
While it was written in the Soviet era, the 45 goals seem to have been largely achieved. The Soviet Union may have collapsed but the mission has been completed by the unholy UN-CCP alliance.
In fact, if you read the 45 goals substituting “UN/CCP” for “Russia/Soviet” and “Australia” for “America” it’s clear that the 31 goals that aren’t US-specific have been achieved here, too.
Here’s just ten examples;
“4-Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
“6-Provide (Australian) aid to all nations regardless of communist domination.
“7-Grant Recognition of Red China. Admission of China to the UN.
“15-Capture one or both of the political parties in (Australia).
“17-Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teacher’s associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
“18-Gain control of Student newspapers.
“20-Infultrate the press. Get control of book-reviewing assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
“21-Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures.
“36-Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
“37-Infiltrate and gain control of big business.”
Benito Mussolini said, “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of government and corporate power.”
Now look around at Covid-era Australia and tell me we’ve not morphed into a fascist corporate-technocratic UN/CCP-controlled slave-state, where personal freedoms have been extinguished.

The argument is, the Gay Cake requester was able to enter the freehold premises of the shop and receive a polite and reasonable reception from the baker: in a No Vaxx No Life world, all of those movements and interactions would be stitched up by the Lizard People.
At least, that’s how I see it.
The baker was not offering the product the Gay Cake requester wanted. A plain cake wouldn’t have been a problem, assuming the seller was consistent. Different to offering your product to only select individuals.
Bob Carr is not against nuclear power or gas powered electricity but according to him they are too expensive. Apparently what we need is renewables and battery storage. What twaddle and Paul Murray just ate it up. I think Bob probably has a financial interest in renewables or he is a liar about being pro-nuclear.

This was my take on it a few days ago.
The baker didn’t refuse to bake a cake. The baker refused to decorate a cake with a pro-gay “marriage” message.
No-one’s asking employers to include Chicom vaxx-hesitant messages in their corporate mission statement, or values, or whatever.
As I recall some people did support the idea that a business should be able to refuse customers more generally, and if that’s the view someone holds then, yes, logically they’d have to ask why a business can’t also refuse to deal with employees or other suppliers.
But even in that case, it’s not illogical to be opposed to the government compelling businesses to turn away customers or employees, nor is it illogical to choose not to deal with businesses that do turn away people.
It would be illogical only if people were demanding that the government compel businesses to deal with people the business owners wanted to turn away. I haven’t seen a lot of people supporting that around here (though some people have questioned whether existing “anti-discrimination” laws might have that effect).
At best a trivial argument.
I share the belief that a trader should be able to reject a potential customer for any reason he chooses. But an employer has a contract with his workers and cannot simply rewrite it as and when he pleases.

Not at all. The baker wasn’t refusing to deal with the customer. The business was just saying “we don’t supply that product, but you’re welcome to buy anything we do supply”. If there were evidence the baker had supplied pro-gay “marriage” cakes to other people, then they would be discriminating against the customers in question by refusing them. But there wasn’t.
It’s the same as trying to hire a concert pianist and demanding he play Barry Manilow songs. He’s entitled to say “I don’t do that”, even though he could.
When the government creates a compulsory register of all gay vs straight people and makes it available to the general public via an app on everyone’s phone and tells people they can demand to see the persons status and then ban them from entering their shop based on that with the police arresting anyone who doesn’t like it, then you’ll have a similar situation.

1. You defend the right of the cake maker to refuse service.
2. You’d oppose the same cake maker his right from refusing employment to someone.. (even a gay person)?
This is some cognitive dissonance going here and Neilson’s an idiot.
so cakes are more important than deliberately killing people????

Silly argument. The cake maker isn’t deliberately endangering anyone by refusing employee to a non-vaxxer. In fact he’s doing it because he believes it would be endangering his life. He doesn’t have to care squat about the non-vaxxers life.

What a cop out, Doc. You can refuse to hire anyone and you don’t have to and shouldn’t have to offer any reason. We’re already there as no one is compelled to hire an individual. The issue is after you’ve hired them and always has been.

the cakemaker is whatever.

The issue is the government sticking a gun in my back and telling me I have to show the ‘cake maker’ all my private affairs via an app and the dosier it has created about me.
How else would he know who or what I am to refuse me?
How is this even hard?
Stix
The argument is compulsion, you dummy. It’s about selective compulsion that you support. You don’t like gay marriage and therefore don’t want to see the cake maker compelled. You think the vax is a witches brew but want to compel the employer to continue employment of the non-vaxxer.
Did you?
This guy is a smoker though, why shouldn’t ‘smoker’ be on the passport. Let’s see how committed you are to this.
Thanks, team
This is the fewest words I cab get it down to…
“The baker wasn’t invading the gay customer’s privacy, but the pro-vax business is.”
Gawd. Someone left the cake out in the rain, and it took so long to bake it etc etc.
Just dropped in and I’m right back to the swinging sixties, time to drop out again. 😀
Stop changing the subject. Of course I don’t support a smoker’s passport in the same way I don’t support a vaxx passport. I do support the right of an employer to hire and fire at will though.

Fauci has been pushing drugs all his miserable fkn life.

Speak to Hiden, Piggles.
Lol… the baker/cake entanglement is NOT a privacy issue. It’s about compulsion. FMD.
The business not also NOT about privacy and ironically it’s not about compulsion either. The business is merely saying to the employee “I don’t want you to work for me any longer”. That’s not compulsion.
Came up in a world where you could literally light up durries inside the office (and did). Now ok’s a vast medical surveillance state where you can’t even enter the office, or a shop, unless the government has ok’d you with your employer behind your back re your now public medical history.
Do you kind of get why people don’t like boomers? It’s stuff like this.

There is a mountain of employment and contract law that says you cannot do this “at will”. Just ask Peter Ridd.

I made myself clear a few days ago that I disagree with the state apparatus getting involved in this.
I’ve been talking about the right of an employer not continue hiring someone and the baker refusing to bake a cake for a couple of bull dykes.
Yes, I know.
so you don’t know and just personally trust in some concept of “the system”.
Piggles
What am I supposed to know that I don’t know?
I think I’ll charge Fauci for murder in The Bendigo Court.
Here y’are, cake time. And goodnight all.
Not to mention anti-discrimination, disability discrimination etc. This vax mandate stuff would be thrown out of court very quickly. Problem is, who is going to bring and fund the action? Not any government, not any “human rights” bureaucracy, not any Trade Union.. We live in truely fascistic times.
If you want to make the whole thing specific to one facet, compulsion of the…employer(wtf?): then entire reason you’re even speaking about this at all, is because last year the government passed a law compelling every doctor, nurse and pharmacist in Australia to enter every persons covid vaccination status into its list.
Without that compulsion there would be no register, no app, no ‘passport’, no nothing.
Check.mate.
Additionally it then compels me to show it to employers or shopkeepers who ask for it, while simultaneously compelling them with OH&S laws that if they employ or serve me they will be likely to be shutdown and punished by the regulatory state for their disobedience.
Focusing in on one zany theoretical about ‘compulsion’ while ignoring the vast literal state of compulsion that has required to make any of this happen.
I see you.

Bed-time for me, so I’ll check back tomorrow – but before I forget…
JC –
My question wasn’t about continuing employment of current employees – it was about denying customers entry to business premises on the basis of their medical histories.
The baker didn’t offer the product the gay bloke wanted, so the baker didn’t discriminate on the basis of the customer’s sexuality – which the customer chose to reveal, so it wasn’t a privacy issue.
The federal Privacy Act is big on private medical histories being private.
I just skimmed it again and I can’t see that that has changed.
So Bunnings denying me entry because I choose not to share my vaccination history is not the same as a baker refusing to pretend two blokes can marry.
Wait – you don’t still believe that the coof is some sort of highly contagious and very deadly global pandemic that would justify businesses invading customers’ privacy, do you?
Will you just stop. An employer isn’t at the mercy of the state in theoretically demanding an immunization card from an employee.
I will alert Cats to a good (ish) piece from an unlikely source, ie Margaret Simons of all people in the current issue of The Monthly of all places; about how we are marching into a totalitarian state with our eyes wide shut.

Sure, but a lot is hanging on this ‘theoretically demanding’. Up until 2020, no aged care employer thought it necessary to compel its employees to have had a flu vax. Then a CHO issued a PHO. Unless there is some compelling reason, an employee’s vax status is none of the employer’s business, and half of the ground for this is that no employer cared in the past.

The man who shot and nearly killed President Ronald Reagan in 1981 — also gravely wounding Reagan’s press secretary James Brady, and downing Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and Metro Police Officer Thomas Delahanty — has been declared safe for release starting in summer 2022. In 1982, John Hinckley, Jr., was found ‘not guilty by reason of insanity’, and his lawyer says his treatment succeeded. He has recovered from his mental illness. Should a would-be presidential assassin ever walk free? Can such a mental illness actually be ‘cured’?

more than 400 Australians identified in a massive data leak of 14 offshore tax advisory firms exposed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in a global media investigation known as the “Pandora Papers”.
Unlike the previous data dumps (Pandora papers & Paradise papers) where the ICIJ uploaded the archive immediately after they broke the story, they haven’t done the same with the Pandora papers.
They are “curating” the release.
Which means that until they do, it’s just another partisan hit piece tarted up as an investigation.
Cool.
I still have the right of consent and informed choice about my own body…but only after I’m dead.
Having already died, I guess taking my job, my freedom and my birthday off me, wouldn’t have the same coercive effect.
From an article from the AusVaxSafety website written by five Doctors:
What do we know about long-term side effects?
Since December, more than 200 million people have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine worldwide — more than the total number of people who have been infected with the virus (112 million).
Given the sheer number of vaccines administered to date, common, uncommon and rare side-effects would have been detected by now. What’s more, we’ve been testing these vaccines in clinical trials since mid-2020, and both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have shown excellent safety results.
This gives us confidence the vaccines that’ll be used around Australia are safe.
Can someone please point out the connection between the question and the answer, because I’ll be damned if I can see it.
Clearly my definition of “long-term” differs from theirs.
I’d suggest they know fuck all about the potential “long-term side effects”.
Mass Hysteria in Australia:

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce says federal politicians should not be forced to be vaccinated, because ensuing arguments would be counter-productive.
His strong statement comes after former Labor leader Bill Shorten called for mandatory vaccines for all federal MPs, but Mr Joyce said while he is fully vaccinated and will get a booster shot, mandating the jabs for federally elected officials would “just lead to fights”.
GET FUCKED BARNABY.
These pricks should be front of the line.
Zero exceptions.
For their partners & kids.
Vaccines are being forced onto the population.
Politicians should be subject to anything they are forcing the population into BEFORE the rest of the population has to.
Stupid time zones.
Comment of the year. Liberty quote. Sidebar quote.
What the FUCK does he think’s been happening for the last eighteen months?
That handful of words just threw the curtain back on that bloated, hypertensive trough-hoover’s position on the freeloading life of the Federal politician versus the actual, daily tightrope between financial and personal ruin, and worse financial and personal ruin the average householder and small businessman is forced to walk as a direct result of shit attitudes by shit people like him.
Beautiful night sky over Port Denison. Not a qr code in sight.
If Joyce had been any good he would have refused to serve as deputy PM under Trumble.
“GET FUCKED BARNABY.
These pricks should be front of the line.
Zero exceptions.”
We also want PROOF of your vaccination. Exactly the same as you demand of us. Show us your Green Card tomato face. Show us the two Green Ticks on your phone. PROVE IT you lying sack of shit!
Breathtaking.
Just when trust in our political masters hits a new low, they go even lower.
Just who are these recalcitrant ministers, and why aren’t they making their voices heard in the gadarene rush to marginalise a significant section of the community? Are they going to be issued with “fake” passes so they can enjoy so called “freedoms” while others, not so well connected, are refused them?
Just when did this stop being about a deadly virus in these people’s minds and start being about political power and control?
If the Lieboral Party and John Howard had been any good they would never had made Trumble a minister let alone leader and then PM. There is nothing good about that abrasive little man.
Inconvenient truths could be exposed.
Barnaby makes it official.
The virus is finished.
We are now in the social reset phase.
May be Vicky can write an article about it.
No one should, but to seek exemptions only for politicians, is rather telling.
Not only is Joyce’s statement breathtaking, it’s also lame.
Vote 1 Fat Bastard

Based on Barnaby’s idiotic statements, I now think Clive Palmer could jag a couple of senate seats.
It bears repeating.
How in god’s name is this Ayn Rand’s fault?
Anyway, cake bake trolling is illegal in Australia (s 28A of the SDA) and so is the vaccine passport as outlined here over the last week (giving the information to the States is an improper use of executive power given section 10 of the AIR Act and until legally mandated, by a 49 P of the Anti Discrimination Act 1977 NSW).
All we need us freedom of association without the heavy hand of government.
The Baker would say “no thank you”. Most businesses wouldn’t demand ludicrous “vaccine passports” that are very likely illegal under the Australian Privacy Principles.
I think that’s why Gladys jumped ship and not because of ICAC. She just didn’t know how to get off the lockdown horse gracefully or to retain her credibility with Karens once she does. Now Perrottet will be stuck with the opprobrium either way, from Karens if he opens up the state and from the rest of us if he doesn’t.
But we’re all in this together. Interesting that I haven’t heard this lately. I think people saw through that one in June 2020.
Well, get to it and stop yapping on about it.
Let us know how it goes.
“GET FUCKED BARNABY.
These pricks should be front of the line.”
Yep…and their wives, partners, children, grandchildren.

I hope so……I want a senate full of Lib Dems, PHON and UAP.
The Nationals are, by and large, useless.

I don’t trust Fat Bastard. Do people forget how he behaved from 2013 to 2016? I trust Pauline and Malcolm Roberts more than Fat Bastard. They’re certainly more consistent.
At the risk of repeating myself, by revealing their attitudes to Trump (hate, fear) and Trumble (love), the LNP fully outed themselves as globalist traitors. All subsequent actions confirm this. It’s been very instructive the review their actions over the last 45 years with this knowledge.
I wonder what tricks they will pull in next year’s election. Too dangerous for polling booths with paper ballots?
On This Day:

Predictable. It’s pure unashamed, unadulterated Marxism. The elites get special privileges whilst the rest will do as their told.
They’re all in this together, Libs, Nats, Labor, Greens, all SCUM.

As soon as they realised that it was not particularly deadly.
I shouldn’t laugh, really I shouldn’t.
Facebook Is Having a Very, VERY Bad Day (Cue World’s Tiniest Violin) (4 Oct)
Everyone here knows about this DNS outage by now, but the headline is the best I’ve seen about it.
The issue here is government coercion and interference in private enterprise.
Case 1 –
A business supplies a product. That is their living. Who is there then to tell them what product they must provide and to whom? Obviously, most businesses want the widest possible customer base to remain viable. However, they are entitled for whatever reason to refuse service. For instance, how often have you heard – I’m too busy, I can’t do that, I don’t have the stock, the experience, the resources? Would you then go and sue them or would you, like any normal person, go find another provider and give them your business instead?
Case 2 –
Someone comes into your shop and asks for your basic product that is right there on the shelf. And you say, sorry, but I need to see your medical history first. The government won’t let me sell to you without it. Quite apart from the effect on the customer, just look at the effect on the business. In effect, it’s a perfect example of power without responsibility. The business puts in all the capital and the labour but is not allowed to make it’s down decisions. The government is chocking the lifeblood out of it. How long can any business survive on this basis? Why would it even try to?
Case 3 –
A business takes the line of least resistance and bows to government pressure to mandate vaccination for staff. Leaving aside that this is nothing but a bluff by government to get business to do voluntarily something it can’t itself do directly, how is this any different to an individual choosing to use the vaccine passport to gain favour? Business is put under the pump and makes it’s decisions based on what they see as the best option or the line of least resistance. Not to mention customers driven made by the endless propaganda.
I believe vax mandates are illegal under discrimination laws and hope that this will soon be proven in court but the real issue here is that private enterprise and decision making is being buried under the dead hand of government.
“their told”
they’re told. Apologies…am half asleep.
Did anyone suggest that Bananaby is just in this for the private school fees for Joyce Family 2.0?
I don’t trust Palmer when I consider his past actions but I will vote UAP in the HoR and UAP/PHON in the senate. Assuming it is possible to vote our way out of this. Unfortunately PHON is still a problem with the Asian communities and I do socialise and work with them.
Waiter!
There’s a split hair in my cake!
Oh, it’s predictable alright.
What amazes me is the blatancy. He obviously feels secure enough to say it. Which tells me we’ve gone as far down the trust rabbit hole as we can go.
I can’t see things getting any better from here, only worse. As mentioned up thread, I can only wonder about next year’s election. Defection to minor parties may not matter.

quite possibly
“I can’t see things getting any better from here, only worse. As mentioned up thread, I can only wonder about next year’s election. Defection to minor parties may not matter.”
I think the defection does matter to the Liberals…look at what happened in 2016.

Cassie, I genuinely blame my bad spelling on my second shot.
If Barnaby was just in it for the money, he would have already left politics and be warming the seat in a cozy sinecure in a crony business or qango. Plenty of money for not much work on boards and such.
It was those pesky nanna wrigglers, bern. Early inset dementia.
