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?

Reading some macro analysis from one of the big brokerage houses.

These are extraordinary numbers. The real sick puppy in the US is government.

What to do? The rise in oil price is good for the dollar. We turn tactically bullish but just a bear market rally. It is tactically bullish because:
-US is a net petroleum exporter
-US shale production should increase
-US inflation in 22 below 21
-US excess savings more than any other region at 11% of GDP for consumer (& 5% of GDP in the corporate sector)

Real rates are also rising in the US dollar favour.
US real rates have been rising more quickly than those in Europe

That’s some mighty savings rate for both the consumer and corporate America.

Senna is in a much inferior vehicle.
Starts 13th on the grid in pissing rain. Works his way to second after thirty laps on a track which has nowhere to pass.
He is picking up 3 seconds a lap on Proust. Three seconds, when picking up 0.3 would be considered flying.

Yeah, Bear. People. *Spit*
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. It was a trivial non-event in the scheme of things, but my lifelong habit of overthinking everyfreakingthing is a hard one to crush.

I’m pleased you’re still around, Bear. I look for your comments.

I put to the Cat Readers that the 457 Visa Policy is precisely what a Fascist government would bring in.
Prove me wrongโ€ฆ

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?

Donโ€™t worry Roger, everyone in the game still calls them 457 visas.

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”)

I think itโ€™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.

Exactly, that’s why many pilots and cabin crew will be leaving Qantas on November 15.

If Morrison has to bring in 2,000 doctors and nurses to replace those here in Australia, where can he find the replacement pilots?

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.

One problem with the Trusted Digital Identity Bill is the absence of โ€˜no-impediment to serviceโ€™ 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 โ€˜no-impediment to serviceโ€™ 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 donโ€™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?

It can take time and effort to collect your important documents and visit a government shop front or office each time you need to prove who you are.

That makes fraud difficult.

I can’t see any benefit in this new system.

In the future, proposed Digital Identity legislation will allow the Australian Government to expand the Digital Identity system to a whole of economy solution. You will be able to use your Digital Identity to prove who you are online to access state and territory services as well as private sector services. The proposed legislation will also establish permanent governance structures for the Digital Identity system and enshrine in law a range of privacy and consumer protections.

This is insane.

This digital ID thing is probably best beaten in terms of economic analysis. Legal stuff is just putting up red flags. You need to drown these ducks to make Peking duck rolls.

-The PPSR is a white elephant, why won’t this be?
-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.
-Who has asked for this and if it is a business, how do they demand being taxpayer subsidised?

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 donโ€™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 โ€œnoโ€ 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 โ€˜no-impediment to serviceโ€™ 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 โ€˜no-impediment to serviceโ€™ opt-out provision to be explicitly stated in the proposed Bill? If not, why?

Fascism descended on us all quite quickly, did it not? ?

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 hereโ€”we’ve been warned by history on how easily democracies collapse. There were alarm bells then against complacency and fatalismโ€”โ€œthe politics of inevitability,โ€. The alarm bells are going off again.

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.

In the future, proposed Digital Identity legislation will allow the Australian Government to expand the Digital Identity system to a whole of economy solution. You will be able to use your Digital Identity to prove who you are online to access state and territory services as well as private sector services. The proposed legislation will also establish permanent governance structures for the Digital Identity system and enshrine in law a range of privacy and consumer protections.

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.

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.

This is going on too long. Brett Sutton has some serious questions to answer and many people are now openly calling him a liar.
