Under 16’s Social Media Ban Legislation Is WORSE Than You Can Imagine
I wasn’t referring to “your comment yesterday morning”. You made a silly comment about wanting to see pictures etc when…
Several people have commented on the UK’s hardened attitude toward Russia, attributing it to the Brits simply being Brits, regardless…
Once Albo and his rabble are voted out can we simply refuse to bail them out?
I think it’s fairly clear by now that it is at least plausible that pilots have a much greater risk of vax-related blood clotting due to the nature of their work. Given all of the recent flight cancellations, this obviously known in the US, and surely Australian pilots are well aware of this as well. Is there any reason to think that a large chunk of Australian pilots wouldn’t make this same risk/benefit calculation of getting vaxxed, arrive at the same conclusions, and take the same action in similar proportions to their American colleagues?
However, given air travel in Australia is still massively down from pre-pandemic levels, most Australian pilots must still be furloughed. When more planes start taking to the sky and those pilots get back to work, are we going to see large numbers of flights cancelled with weird, inexplicable justifications, as has been the case in the US?
I’m waiting for a vaccine-hesitant group to emerge that cannot be dismissed as ‘anti-vaxxers’, and whose unwillingness to get vaccinated causes major interruptions to core functions of society. Construction workers – not yet. Truckies – not yet. Pilots?
I see Warner’s lifetime ban is likely to be revoked.
Another tidbit from that Q&A is almost no evidence at all of customer-customer/staff( and vice versa) transmission, which suggests that any vaccine passport requirement to get into a store at the very least is unreasonable.

Actually, I’m more annoyed that I allowed myself to get annoyed over such a trivial issue. Normally I’m reasonably restrained, but as with others here (and everywhere), the last few weeks have been more challenging, so the thickness of my patience can barely be measured by the naked eye at the moment. At to that the fact that I had cracked myself in the forehead with a decent stick about one hour prior, and I was feeling edgy.

Winston: Which iteration & which part of (the now defunct) 457 visa subclass?
The legislation, & especially the regulation (& thus effectively the visa) changed so often it’d make yer head spin.
There were at least three streams that each should have been a separate visa subclass, in particular the “IT stream” & the “Regional 457” bore limited resemblance to the regular 457 visa.
Apart from the name (457) the 457 visa in 2010 had little in common with the 457 visa of 2009.
…& it goes on & on & on.
In all my experience with the 457 visa subclass (probably 60 consummated sponsorships) not once was what happened in practice anything like what the brochure (& immi website) said.
Not once.
Surely a fascist government would be expected to have a consistent & clearly defined policy, especially when it came to implementing said policy?
The Beloved is a dyed in the wool F1 fan. Will set the alarm and get up and watch live.

Don’t worry Roger, everyone in the game still calls them 457 visas.
Maybe Grigs Rosie can tell us all the SIV changes too without googling?

Someone here posted the immigration report this week.
The amount of nurses Australia has brought in during the year was the number that jumped out of the report.
Bear – those elusive trousers are not going to find themselves …
Actually, I didn’t use the term ‘457 visas’ at all.
I was referring to an earlier report here that in an audit the Immigration department had detected a rate of fraud of around 50% among Indian migrants of one sort or another.
I’ve never heard anybody in the game refer to another visa subclass as a “457”
Not the visa holder, not a migration agent, not a recruiting agent, not a migration lawyer, not anybody at Immi, calls another visa a “457”.
Not once in the 4 years since the 457 was abolished.
(bogans/unionists with a limited & superficial understanding of visas & migration usually call anything a “457”, it’s become another word for “visa” (sorta like “esky” has become the word for “cooler box”)
It’s a weapon o’ choice … 🙂
The visa one of my staff came in on now no longer exists.
Luckily she got permanent residency before it died otherwise it would have been a nightmare because the visa class didn’t transfer to a new classification.

Islam either sends you insane or attracts the insane. You have to realise that what would be considered insane in the West (or used to before the woke left took over about 5 years ago when Trump was elected) is considered sane and indeed noble by islamic standards. And because of the woke influence the standrads in the West are being shredded to relate to the islamic standards.
The rot in the West has been developing for decades. This for instance in 2002 when this piece of shit who was a muslim sympathiser shot Pim Fortuyn. The grub was subsequently released after 14 years FFS. Look at the prick. When you tolerate this shit society is stuffed.

‘The Slug Was Planted; Sutton Lied’

Oct 16, 2021
Discernable
This is going on too long. Brett Sutton has some serious questions to answer and many people are now openly calling him a liar.
Of the evidence I’ve been briefed with behind the scenes, I find it impossible to accept any other conclusion. It’s no longer a question of IF Brett Sutton lied, but HOW MUCH he lied in #SlugGate, and whether he makes lying a habit in other areas of practice.
Thankfully, the instances of lying as alleged by Ian Cook and Dr Matthew Bach (and a raft of professional investigators behind the scenes) occurred under oath and will be impossible to run away from…as long as Victoria is not so casually corrupt, that is.
And I’m not so sure of that either.

Retarded Ethics – Inability to Determine Right from Wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAnflZz6Vqs
Premiered Sep 4, 2021
Discernable
How do you determine right from wrong? It’s a question of normative ethics. This is a critical conversation that nobody is having and yet it is critical as we approach a world full of vaccine passports, government mandates, segregation and a ‘new normal’.
Background:
After an Instagram scandal over whether the word ‘Retard’ can EVER be used, it raised an interesting point. Why are people arguing so fervently over the right thing to do?
Is it possible that we have different ways of measuring morality?
In this special on ethics, we look at the two main perspectives of answering this question: deontological ethics vs teleological ethics.
It gives rise to utilitarianism which explains exactly why and how authoritarian governments around the world are crushing populations in the quest to save them.
It also led to considerations around language, offence, Hollywood, The Trolley Problem, and autonomous driving.
Watch this special if you want a framework on which to hang all of those arguments you keep hearing about and how to find a way through the fray.

Phase 1 and 2 of the Digital Identity Bill have already been passed by the Government.
So it is really really important you out in a submission, otherwise if no one disagrees with this horrendous Bill, it will be seen as consent. As in, the public is happy to comply.
COles and Woolies are already pushing to have you pay your purchases using the QR code. So you can see where all this is headed.

The most disgusting piece of propaganda.
One problem with the Trusted Digital Identity Bill is the absence of ‘no-impediment to service’ opt-out provision. If a routine government service could not be accessed without access to personal biometric data, this would preclude the exercise of free and informed consent about the use and sharing of such data.
Do you support a ‘no-impediment to service’ opt-out provision to be explicitly stated in the proposed Bill? If not, why?
Another problem with the Trusted Digital Identity Bill is the lack of clarity regarding ownership rights over the unique personal information contained in our bodies. Biometric information could plausibly be used to covertly modify, control or counterfeit our conscious agency, be used to access personal accounts, and be commercially exploited.
Do you agree that we must have clarity regarding legal ownership of the unique personal information contained or extractable from our unique biological characteristics? If not, why?
How will this Bill affect those who don’t have access to technology devices that support digital identity, such as the elderly? Will they effectively be cut off from society?
How does this Bill relate to the Privacy Act? What happens to those who choose not to consent to digital identity? Will they also be cut off from society?
?As a member of parliament, do you support the Trusted Digital Identity Bill that takes us one step closer to the social credit system of communist China?

-Service providers have engaged in e-commerce for over two decades.
-Why can’t banks and shops collaborate to use QR codes?
-How is one document or key less vulnerable than many?
-We already have consumer protections.
-This system is not compatible with cryptocurrencies or cryptowallets which are arguably more secure.
-If I am buying something online, why do I need to prove who I am? Aren’t there laws already in place?
-If the idea is to prevent fraud, it won’t prevent fraud. Not unless we make simple transactions more complex. Having one “key” or document is secure until that key is no longer secure.
-Would we ban people overseas gifting Australians with goods from Australian shops? If we’re not, then we’re not going to stop Australians trying to get around this.

Do not ever lose sight of that Glittering Prize …
Former batsman, Test captain and sook Kim Hughes on another batsman, former Test captain and sook. The Hun:
Damn straight.
McCabe and the use of a private email server are the putative cause of the insane RussiaGate deflection and collateral damage done to Carter Page.
Holy cow.
How did I miss this insanity?
Thankfully, the instances of lying as alleged by Ian Cook and Dr Matthew Bach (and a raft of professional investigators behind the scenes) occurred under oath and will be impossible to run away from…as long as Victoria is not so casually corrupt, that is.
Step 1, identify who’s the front runner to succeed Shane Patton as Chief Commissioner.
Step 2, put him or her in charge of deciding whether to lay charges.
Unless throwing Sutton under the bus will protect more votes in marginal Labor seats.
It’s the Victorian way.
For two possible reasons – you were languishing in a jungle in Kampuchea, or you were lusting after a young woman.
So which is it, Squire?
If you get “vaxxed”, we’ll stop bashing, pepper spraying and shooting you!

Here’s something you can use –
More government intrusion into our lives is not welcome in our society.
The proposals outlined in this Bill are another means for that to occur, only at a much more significant level.
The ramifications of introducing a system like this are clear for the public and open up opportunities for greater control, discrimination, abuse, and tyranny by an already out of control, authoritarian government.
Our democracy is clearly eroded to the point where the government is acting against the will of the people. How can we, the people have any faith in entrusting a powerful and privacy stripping system to the very same people who have so happily betrayed us already?
I do not agree with any plans to introduce this system, or anything like it, into Australia now or ever. I don’t agree to the use of technology already in use such as QR codes. To suggest that we utilise more advanced, invasive tech such as surveillance systems for greater scrutiny, control and loss of privacy, is completely abhorrent to me and my family and many others in the community.
It seems the infrastructure has already been placed here in Victoria. Is that because the government intends to forge ahead with this Bill regardless of the will of we, the people?
I do not agree to having my privacy completely removed and my freedoms trampled any further.
So I say “no” to this Bill.
In 2015, the Australian Government took the first steps to develop a digital identity system after a financial inquiry highlighted the benefits of digital identity for the economy.
On 1 October 2021, Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business Stuart Robert released the exposure draft of the Trusted Digital Identity Bill and related legislative instruments for public consultation. The exposure draft stage is the third opportunity to provide feedback on the legislation.
One problem with the Trusted Digital Identity Bill is the absence of ‘no-impediment to service’ opt-out provision. If a routine government service could not be accessed without access to personal biometric data, this would preclude the exercise of free and informed consent about the use and sharing of such data.
Do you support a ‘no-impediment to service’ opt-out provision to be explicitly stated in the proposed Bill? If not, why?
Another problem with the Trusted Digital Identity Bill is the lack of clarity regarding ownership rights over the unique personal information contained in our bodies. Biometric information could plausibly be used to covertly modify, control or counterfeit our conscious agency, be used to access personal accounts, and be commercially exploited.
Do you agree that we must have clarity regarding legal ownership of the unique personal information contained or extractable from our unique biological characteristics? If not, why?
How will this Bill affect those who don’t have access to technology devices that support digital identity, such as the elderly? Will they effectively be cut off from society?
How does this Bill relate to the Privacy Act? What happens to those who choose not to consent to digital identity? Will they also be cut off from society?
As a member of parliament, do you support the Trusted Digital Identity Bill that takes us one step closer to the social credit system of communist China?
Are we all personages of straw? 😕
But really if you go to https://www.digitalidentity.gov.au/have-your-say/phase-3/submission-form you can fill in the form there and state your opposition there.
It will only take 5 minutes!
Here’s another example:
Centralised systems are more vulnerable to security attacks and failures.
I do not trust my identity to exist digitally without oversight or in the hands of some other entity, government or private enterprise.
Here’s another example:
Re: Digital Identity – Have Your Say
DO NOT PASS THIS LEGISLATION!
I believe it is unnecessary and fraught with too many potential problems.
Our personal identity is precious, and the process of proving it by occasionally presenting multiple documents is one of the ways it is protected. The inconvenience of preparing said documents is a small price to pay for our identity to remain safe.
I also see privacy risks associated with the constant use and accessing of personal information by third parties such as retailers.
————————————-
It doesn’t have to be long but if we say nothing it means we are already consenting!
Gabz – seriously? Your efforts are steadfast, but they will never back down. Get yourself into the Limbrick’s ear.
He will hear you.
One more:
I DO NOT AGREE with the Digital Identity Bill or any associated Bills/laws
For reasons that it is not essential
It is not necessary
It has the potential to discriminate
It is a major breach of privacy
Does not allow a person who does not have a mobile phone to access essential services not even to make purchases
This Bill must be scrapped.
For our beloved quisling politicians, those (wrong about everything) health bureaucrats and their trained skinsuit wearing functionaries in the braindead lamestream meeja …
Gaol.
It will become worse. You will languish there until HOP Time.
Back for a quick guest appearance. (Cannot sleep).
I wonder if it might be effective to take a ‘this disadvantages the marginalised’ viewpoint regarding the digital ‘transformation’ (*shudders*) process feedback?
Think of the numerous special victims groups (both legit and not as much): How could they theoretically be affected by this? How might we advocate for them, in this sense? (Do I have to state the obvious about how this approach might work for us too?).
Deadline for this intrusive, communistic Act is 27 Oct.
Say something to oppose this Bill either directly, taking about 5 mins: https://www.digitalidentity.gov.au/have-your-say/phase-3
or
via Concerned Lawyers Network (CLN):
”Please if there are any volunteers able to help with contributing to the document to add to CLN’s submission email me to: [email protected] We have until 27TH October to lodge it and intend to do it under the umbrella of CLN so it will be published. Your contributions can be copied and pasted in but signed off under CLN, if relevant and useful, and protecting your identity. Or you can make your own submission directly to them allowing to be published. If we don’t put any submission in it’s like saying we don’t care if this digital identity social credit slavery system goes ahead. CLN can lodge it but need help with contributors. ”
Muddy, I think that is good.
In case you missed it

Rabz, I just cannot be complacent about this.
If we Australians say nothing about this at all, it will pass.
If we say nothing, it will be seen as consent – otherwise why would they ask for submissions?
They have kept this quiet deliberately.
If we do nothing, we have no chance.
If we do write a few sentences opposing this Bill, we have a chance it may not pass.
FFS, it takes 5 minutes to put a few thoughts together to say NO.
And you can do it anonymously if you so desire, via the govt. submission form or even if you decide to use COncerned Lawyers Network
It has been going on for too long, Squirette. Get into the Limbrick’s ear – no one else will be willing to listen to you.
Melbourne has been at the epicentre of the resistance. There are no equivalents in Sydney (the Cossack excepted). I wasn’t such a gutless fraud, I would have been out there leading them (into oblivion).
These are tough times, Gabz – seek out pollies who will hear you. You have them in Victoria.
The gubmint have already trialed the identity cashless card via centrelink.
Larry Anderson, stalwart freedom loving National Party member, was granted a franchise to operate and trial the cashless identity card.
The gubmint made sure the locations were dispersed around the country and only among unemployable types and here we are…
bow to the state you peasants.
Fascism descended on us all quite quickly, did it not? 🙁
We’re hitched to a burning wheel, it seems …
Tomorrow never knows
It is Xining …
Go Gab.
I stand with you.
The Resistance begins, slowly.
Carry cash, pay in cash.
“Contact phone number?”
“Here’s my landline. I don’t carry a mobile phone, for religious reasons.”
“Got any identification?”
“Sure, mate. My Gold Card good enough?”
If it happened in Germany, it could happen here—we’ve been warned by history on how easily democracies collapse. There were alarm bells then against complacency and fatalism—“the politics of inevitability,”. The alarm bells are going off again.

There is a 2 minute video.
I saw some fantasy going on up thread or maybe the OOT about gubmint in Australia and every notion included some form of taxation and whether the states or commonwealth should have that POWER.
FFS… there should be ZERO power of taxation.
‘They’ cannot be trusted.
The Premiers of the State Governments have proven that the Commonwealth Constitution is just a Fabian joke.
And we thought, that the B Hawke ID card, the Australia card was a dangerous invasion in privacy.
Naive, primitive fools we were, with that in place the government had no reason to introduce this system. /sarc
Of course, they would find a reason.
we have been gulled Gabor.
and pissed upon from a great height.
I want to become an Australian policeperson.
Where do I go to have my brain removed and eat donuts?
No one has ‘the right’ to levy taxation on another.
Federation of Australia was decided by a then population not much bigger than current day 3 federal electorates.
Including then Aboriginal population.
It is time that every Federal electorate as currently delineated became a State in its own right.
We can get away from the mad bastards we currently have in Capital Cities who want to control everything.
Cities produce nothing while consuming everything.
I wonder how many Northern Hemisphere folk will die with covid in the coming fuel impoverished winter imposed by their enlightened leaders?
srr/Discernable:
I just watched the iCook interview.
Jaw dropping in terms of the apparent corruption leading all the way to the top.
What will be interesting is competitions front office expenses…
