Dr. Duke Pesta sits down with Daniel Lennington, special counsel for Wisconsin Institute For Law & Liberty, to discuss the concept of health equity, which has been birthed from critical race theory. Health equity is the concept that there are different health outcomes for different races and treatment must be denied to some to benefit others.

Russell Brand on Merc’s anti COVID pill:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYG7E0xTgY8
In this morning’s breaking news thousands of Queenslanders who are awake all night worrying about their frail parents in South Australia with no-one to look after them because their selfish children won’t get on a plane if they have to wear a mask continue to pretend they occupy the high moral ground.
Meanwhile in Victoria, population 6.5 million, approximately 2000 people yesterday were ‘diagnosed’ with covid, a few of them will be admitted to hospital and a handful will die, but only ‘with covid’ and only if they are fully vaccinated thus vindicating those who insist, against all the international evidence, that no one ever dies of covid, that the vaccines don’t work and everyone who gets vaccinated, and hasn’t already died with covid, is going to die in a few months at which point the biggest problem will be the smell.
Indolent:
Ask yourself:-
What size is a Covid vaccine dose?
How much metal could be held in solution in that dose?
Could this quantity be detected by an airport scanner?
Or does the metal replicate itself within the human body?

Sounds like you believe in the impossible dream.
Your second paragraph there notafan shows the extent to your delusion. ….and after all that has been exposed about this fraud. ..you’re still hysterical and screaming sbout Italy.
Disgusting.
My parents are being checked by my son who is also down there but the facts are that because people keep complying the border can be easy to cross and in a second require you to imprison yourself at your own cost or just be straight out banned entry.
Are you that deluded that you think interstate travel anywhere in this country is risk free……..?
Since this coup occurred you have been quite hysterical and insane.
Many have told you this.
Many.
Are they all wrong?
Too timely to waste …
The video about Australia and the US is a reminder that just because we all speak a version of English, Anglophone countries are not the same. Canada, for example, has a completely different political and social culture and history to even the adjacent States in the US.
But, we have to work with what we have. While fantasising about ‘what I would change if I were a benign dictator’ has always been a popular pastime here, it’s not very helpful in dealing with political and historical reality.
One concrete thing we can do is figure out how to vote strategically. Not just fatuous universal panaceas like ‘put the sitting member last’ but a proper analysis, seat by seat and also (very importantly) how to vote in the Senate would be an absolute game-changer, IMHO. To a lesser extent, this would be useful at State level, especially in NSW, which has optional preferential voting.
Frankly, if your HoR seat is impregably safe, confirmed by all recent available evidence – no point in wasting time and energy on it. Having information on seats where time, energy and money will make a difference would be very helpful.
If the IPA and other like organisations could stop their largely pointless posturing for a while and instead focus resources on a project like this, the results could be very significant. There must be election/stats analysts of a conservative or neutral bent around who would relish the chance to get paid a decent salary to get stuck into this work. They need to start soon, setting up the framework so that when elections are called they can start feeding in the data straight away.
Oh, and petty feuding between splinter parties needs to be ignored – no favourites or baddies (unless the baddies are demonstrably so).
There is nothing politicians fear as much as losing their jobs. Faced with that, it is amazing how ‘flexible’ they can be. Instead of whining about it, we should be straining every muscle to use it against them.
Here endeth the lesson. 🙂
First time in my life I wish Victoria was a bit more like NSW.
And yes they had no right to take them away in the first place.
(And thankfully after yesterday’s revelations there should be no more hysteria from Queensland about little old ladies in Sydney having the audacity to get a haircut.)

Lol, in order to maintain that high ground the bantam admits he was lying about ‘no-one to look after them’.
Submission sent.
Thanks for making me aware of it, Gab.
Agreed. It will be informal in the lower house, while the senate will require some thought. I’m not wasting that vote.
Remember people, when voting in the senate, if it’s a half senate election, you only need to number six boxes (even if you’re in a territory, which I learned last federal election).
About the only “reform” I can think of that the Waffleroach enacted during his seemingly interminable time pretending to be PM.
With morons like this, what chance does Vic have?
In the dead tree Tele, I read 40,000 fled Melbourne in the last 6 months. I see now what they were fleeing from.
Also, if your primary identification of yourself is vaccination status, sorry, your mental illness is showing.
Don’t vote informal in the Reps. A good minor party showing sends a message.
I am not saying that people shouldn’t vote for minor parties in the Reps. I am saying that this should be the sum total of your time, money and effort if it is an impregnable safe seat.
I’m a bit slow on the uptake. Of course drones are operating fake Twitter accounts to troll on single issues like vaccination.
Although people are so nuts now nothing would surprise me.
Not just voting.
Next state election i’m planning on volunteering to hand out how to not vote cards for the ldp in the Northern region where iirc Fiona patten and Andy meddick are upper house members.
That’s got to be part of the ldp campaign, ending soe powers.

Why is covid running rampant in concert with increasing levels of vaccination in a city that is still in lockdown?
There has been no relaxing of restrictions that would explain the spike.
Eyrie, I’ve explained at great length elsewhere why casting a legitimate vote in the federal lower house is simply not on. One way or the other, your vote will end up with either the gliberals, labore or the greenfilth.

Boambee John,
True they end up with the vote but they don’t get the money. A good showing of primary votes for a minor party still sends a message.
(And thankfully after yesterday’s revelations there should be no more hysteria from Queensland about little old ladies in Sydney having the audacity to get a haircut.)
Escuse? Queensland hysteria is for Queenslanders.
Filthy southerners don’t get to order us around on our hysterical arrangements.

Yes but the vote ends up going back to either Labor or the Liberals.
At the next federal election I will probably vote informal in the Reps. I’m not interested in re-electing Sharma who’s busy spruiking zero emissions and all that crap. I will however be very careful with my senate vote….Lib Dems followed by PHON and UAP.
Although, if the Lib Dems run a candidate in Wentworth at the next federal election, I would not be at all surprised if the Liberals deliberately preference the Greens ahead of the Lib Dem candidate. I would put nothing past the Liberals.

Nobody cares about informal votes. They aren’t even tallied and posted on election night.
If you vote informal (I’ve done it lots of times as I couldn’t stomach the Libs or Labor) you still get the Filth or the SFL.

FAKE JAB Caught on Tape: Endless Injections Target Kids & Military While Leaders Opt Out”
https://rumble.com/vnshk3-fake-jab-caught-on-tape-endless-injections-target-kids-and-military-while-l.html
Mrs Mater got talking to a random supermarket worker on Thursday, who told her that it was her last day at work due to the vaccination mandate…she then broke down in tears in the middle of the shop.
After comforting her, the conversation went on. Apparently 50 employees (just from that one shop) are in the same boat, and they’ll struggle to keep the place open.
Apparently (and allegedly) those workers had a meeting with the corporate hierarchy about the situation. The question was raised about workers compensation if there was an adverse vaccine reaction. The answer was that as they would be ‘consenting’ to the vaccination, it would not be a worker’s compensation issue. Nothing in the offing.
Asking around, it seems there are a great many hold outs, and businesses of all varieties are struggling to stay open. Don’t think you are alone if you’re one of them. Even the vaccination locations/centres have lost staff.
As an aside, I am also hearing that nurses at vaccination locations are demanding that recipients mouth the words, ‘I consent’ before giving it to them. When people say, ‘I don’t, but I’m being forced to have it to keep my job’, they are being refused the jab. They MUST say ‘I consent’, to tick the box. Much friction is resulting given that they really don’t.
At best, all most people in a reasonably safe seat can do if they want to cast a legimate vote, is to deny the UniParty per vote AEC funding. Still, it’s a minor satisfaction.
Where can we access this data on traffic volumes & mobile phones?

Those questions were largely rhetorical and they were invitations for you to think about whether “metal fragments in vaccines detectable by airport scanners” was really a thing.

Piers Akerman:
‘Australians wishing to go the whole hog on net-zero emissions aren’t the full quid.
Claiming that the precautionary principle demands we sacrifice our economy in order to prevent global warming and taking the lead from ill-educated schoolchildren is not a sound start.
The precautionary principle should kick in before we embrace pie-in-the-sky notions of green energy with an analysis of the hyperbolic claims being thrown about by activists on the ABC and in the Nine media.
Mining entrepreneur and Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart told The Daily Telegraph – which has been running an informative series on the topic and is committed to airing both sides of the argument – that the rush to curb greenhouse emissions without proper costing could imperil family farmers and cost taxpayers “billions in subsidies”. The precautionary principle demands that we know what the cost of buckling to the climate catastrophists at the UN’s Glasgow COP26 gabfest will be before we make any pledges.
That is if there is sufficient power to run this global virtue-signalling opportunity as the UK is presently reliant on hastily-reopened coal-fired power plants and an extension cord running to the nuclear-powered continent across the Channel.
No wind and no sun has kicked the renewable camp’s reliability claims in the arse – again.’”

Right, Rabz. This is the kind of information that needs to be put out there. In NSW, a lot of people don’t know that they don’t have to number every box, or what the implications are.
As I said, these so-called ‘conservative thinktanks’ need to get off their well paddeds and do something constructive instead of writing papers and holding meetings that achieve nothing except burnishing their own self created credentials.

That bad?
Is there even a slight chance that scomo has caved because he’s had it explained bluntly to him what retribution will be inflicted on Australia for its “climate crimes” if we don’t submit?
I’ve no doubt France and other EU members are itching to destroy Australia for “endangering” their planet. Hard to see Britain or the US not taking the same stand as the EU ultimately.
If even the Tories are are ultra green, there’s no hope of the Brits ever snapping out of the insanity. With electoral fraud and demographic war on the US population, hard to see them ever returning to sanity either.
Does scomo think net zero is the lesser of evils that will afflict Australia in any case, so better to take that path?

Problem is Joanna when OPV bites the ALP they just pass laws to make it CPV, as Beattie did in Queensland. I also note Bracks changed the Senate make up in Victoria which something the WA Labor Govt is doing now to rig the pesky Senate their way as well. Now imagine the howling and comparisons to Sir Joes gerrymander if a Coalition Govt did the same.
As I said in my earlier post, I was speculating that that was the reason they were caught. However, no speculation is required to know that there ARE metal bits in the jabs because they can and are being seen under microscope.
Questions for the scientists here, how much metal is there normally in a human body? If, as I suspect, the answer is none, it wouldn’t take much to show up on a scan.
Uh-huh.

Metal that lives, breathes and breeds.
That explains why it multiplies to levels which are detectable by airport scanners.

Fantastic comment by johanna at 8:32 am. She’s dead right but I’m just not sure the IPA actually wants the granular poll info that would undermine the UniParty. On the other hand, the UAP/LDP/ and the like would do well contract an antipodean People’s Pundit that can give them the sort of info that will allow them to direct their limited resources to federal and state electorates that are waivering. They also need polling between elections because much of the issues polls we we see now are push polls and the like that deliberately inflate the UniParty line.

No, you must cross it or deface it so that it cannot be misused then you can fold it and put it in the ballot box.

Nobody cares about informal votes. They aren’t even tallied and posted on election night.
It’s one of those things where if comparatively few people do it it has no effect.
But just imagine if the total breakdown of Australia’s votes, 2PP + informal, was 49%% Liars, 40% Coalition, and 11% uncompleted ballot papers with a message “I’d vote Coalition if they stood for coal, low immigration and freedom of speech”?
The parties do have scrutineers, and it’s conceivable that they’d notice the pattern if one in nine ballot papers was marked like that.
Of course even then the genius strategists might conclude “we’ll have to work harder to peel 6% off the Liars – rudder hard to port!”
But we can only try.
The time honoured informal vote is the cock and balls.
No, you must cross it or deface it so that it cannot be misused then you can fold it and put it in the ballot box.
That is correct. That’s the only reason my 2016 HoR ballot paper was covered with anti-Mick Trumble obscenities.

Is there even a slight chance that scomo has caved because he’s had it explained bluntly to him what retribution will be inflicted on Australia for its “climate crimes” if we don’t submit?
I’ve no doubt France and other EU members are itching to destroy Australia for “endangering” their planet. Hard to see Britain or the US not taking the same stand as the EU ultimately.
Then he should tell them that the deal is that they supply us, at discount prices, sufficient modular nuclear reactors to replace all of our coal fired plants, and preferential access to their markets to replace the trade opportunities lost if we can no longer export coal.
For the good of Gaia!
Or given their current problems, we could offer to export coal to the UK and EU.
If ScoMo had any guts he would have gone for the Commonwealth Bank’s Chair Catherine Livingstone’s throat when she announced that CBA will no longer allow investments in any coal-related businesses. How dare they decide what is a legal business? I thought that was the legislators’ prerogative.
If the CBA annoyed a Labor government you can be sure that they would be pulled into line in no time at all.
The spruikers are less convincing than a third rate carnival’s equivalents promising to show you The Amazing Dogfaced boy.
A long time ago at the Geelong Show there was a big tent which you could pay 50 cents to go into to see “The Man Eating Shark”.
Apparently inside was a bloke eating a bit of flake.
Most people had enough sense of humour to feel that they’d got their money’s worth.
If ScoMo had any guts he would have gone for the Commonwealth Bank’s Chair Catherine Livingstone’s throat when she announced that CBA will no longer allow investments in any coal-related businesses.
But if Livingstone had any guts she’d respond that ScoMo’s clown troupe are doing their best to kick coal to death so why should the bank be left holding the losing ticket?
[Submission on a slightly different tack to the ‘it facilitates an Australia Card’ argument:]
The objects of the Trusted Digital Identity Bill are to promote and regulate a system of online identity verification for commercial and social purposes. This is a complex technical arena, notoriously co-inhabited by persons intent on capturing identity for criminal purposes.
The risk to individuals arising from fraud, or mistaken identity as a result of failure, or misuse of the proposed system is clearly significant.
The proposed system is to be managed by the Oversight Authority. Sections 87 and 88 give the Oversight Authority complete control of the implementation of the system. Furthermore, section 89 provides that the Oversight Authority “is not subject to direction”.
Section 156 allows the Oversight Authority to delegate “all or any of the Oversight Authority’s powers” to members of the Australian Public Service.
Section 153 provides protection to the Oversight Authority and delegates against civil legal action for damages caused by the “good faith” implementation of the powers under the Act.
Good Faith is a weak standard of care in a contested and potentially compromised commercial environment. It allows for the different interests of the participants in the Trusted Digital Identity to be resolved by the Oversight Authority – or an anonymous member of the APS – to the detriment of individuals using the system, without review, and with no civil recourse.
Arguably, it also allows scope for the Oversight Authority and delegates to cause damage by negligence.
As drafted, the Bill appears to be dangerous to the rights and interests of the Australian public.
[Sadly, I doubt this line of argument will interest anyone.]
Stupid SKY. I watch one show a week and the producers can’t even synchronous their ad breaks with my bladder.
A digital ID synchronized with your Foxtel app will help with that.
Fascism in Australia:
Urgently needed 3 bags of rapid set concrete, so went to Bunnings.
Swagger in as I normally do, pretend to QR and then proceed to go on my way, third world security chases me down. Do you have a trade card? No, keep walking to get rapid set.
3rd world security comes back with store manager, in que to check out. We won’t serve you, ok, I will film your staff not serving you. Third world security yabbering on about how I’m been rude to you. Tradies in que: “Mate, he’s not being rude to you”. Third world security in a fit of frustration, yanks trolly out of my hand. I let it go.
Can anyone here buy me three bags of rapid set for $50? One guy is torn as to whether or not to get involved, plasterer says yep I’ll do it. Ok, meet you outside, store manager is proceeding to call cops.
Having seen that I’ve done a deal with plasterer. Store manager hangs up on cops and they then proceed to follow and verbally harass plasterer.
I meet plasterer outside, do the exchange. Ask him if they gave him a hard time. Apologise to him for the trouble, thank him.

If yes, purchase online and make them deliver to you.

good tip. I just applied for a card, since I have a spare pty ltd floating around…
Perhaps if Bunnings was run by a People’s Committee instead of oligarchs, people could be compelled to pay them $100 each, and then Bunnings could deliver a rationed amount of rapid set to everyone.
Especially people who didn’t want or need it.
The point was well made. They don’t want you in their store. Find another way to interact with them.
Regarding what Gab has been saying:
Very rough ideas.
I am going to call this digital identity bill and the cybercrime bill the start of fascism.
No joke.
The confluence of four major High Court Cases and these two not yet laws only rest on Parliament not delegating the power to issue a warrant to a law enforcement official from falling straight into a 1984 or Brave New World.
Pape v Cth – Parliament and ‘democracy’could not be questioned regarding “nationhood” powers.
Spencer v Commonwealth – ignored caselaw from WWII that the States cannot act Federally for a quid pro quo.
Palmer v WA – the States not only have plenary power, they can limit rights to appeal (seemingly overturning Kable No 1 and No 2?)
Kassam v Hazzard and Henry v Hazzard – the States’ plenary power reaffirmed.
Cybercrime Bill – cops can change your online account details and activity.
Digital Identity Bill – facial recognition and a centrally controlled payments system.
Add this in with secretive “national cabinet” meetings and Parliaments just not sitting. Once these two Bills are made Acts, it’s on like Monkey Kong.
THIS IS WORSE THAN A SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM.

Horrific. You know which other businesses to support.
Now, if you had the good fortune to be in Queensland, you could have gone to Bunnings and picked up a $2.50 sausage and a free Covid jab.
That’s the way Wesfarmers rolls…
Exactly.
I am unsure what world you live in. You can’t ‘make’ a store do whatever you want them to do. If you, as the store, act like fuckwits as Bunnings did to rickw, then you don’t interact with them. If they do this with everyone, the market will send them broke because people will interact with other traders instead, regardless of any inconvenience.

In all the third world yabbering of accusations of being rude, he mentioned “white card”. I actually realised that I had one of these in my wallet afterwards.
FYI – Cops rolled up and parked in front of me for a few seconds, I was disinterested because I was typing the previous message, they then moved on to the front of the store, maybe I will get a visit from them later so they can check my thinking!
The worst and best of Australia in one experience. Third world rent a cop and fascist Bunnings manager V typical Aussie tradie who goes “Na, fuck it, I’ll help you and then cops an earful from the former.
This was Bunnings Thomastown if you want to know which one to avoid.
As for delivery or pick up of rapid set, I don’t have 5 days to wait.
five days earlier than predicted
And 72 days later than promised. (Recall the 7 day short sharp lockdown).
But, but the hunchback is very proud of Victorians. He’s my leader.

Andrews has to change the restrictions. The survey tide has turned dramatically and people are ignoring his mandates. We locked down for 12 cases and are reopening for 1800+. It’s all about the science. Unfit for office.
Wish I had that much faith in expert modelling. It would make the world a much simpler place. It helps that the Chairman can just stand up and say, “I was just following the modelling.” which you suspect is the main reason all along.
Livingston is just another token wimmin that’s been around for far far too long.
I listened to a talk the other day about the missiles Australia is getting as deterrents. Why cant we just conduct a preemptive strike and send a barrage of CHOs and CMOs into China. That should f over their economy and community quicker than any military weapons.
So funny, Fair shake. Best comment of the week. It’s “the science”!
You got me Faustus.
I should never have waded into the science of (cough) “aluminium carbon life forms hatched from eggs”.
I guess it makes sense.
Ostensibly, this was used to detect unvaxxed people trying to travel.
I mean, you need ID to travel (passport for international, licence for domestic) right. They could just link the passport/licence database to a vax database I suppose. But why do that when you could implant “aluminum carbon lifeforms” via the vax, and recalibrate every airport scanner worldwide to search for 5 nano-bits of aluminum.
The trouble is, he is now saying that the level of hospitalisation and severity of illness is not as bad as expected.
In other words, the Carol Burnett Institute fucked up the modelling.
I have a white and grey one, but won’t use it.

Muddydote.
Up until perhaps two weeks ago, I felt I was coping with ‘things’ quite effectively. Since then, both the mental and physical state have been slipping, and I find myself obsessing about trivial issues. Yesterday i wrote of what was an irritating but very minor interaction with a member of the public. Despite wanting to ‘Meh’ it, my brain has decided otherwise and become fixated on replaying it and analysing every furking moment (real and fictional).
So much so that I had perhaps three hours sleep only last night. It’s annoying the liquid faecal matter out of me, mostly because I’m aware of how dysfunctional a state of mind it is, but cannot seem to switch it off or set fire to it.
The incident yesterday is just the latest example. Without revealing too much about my sparkling personality and celebrity-like lifestyle, when my mental health begins to slip, it exacerbates chronic physical pain, when then makes it more challenging to focus on managing the former. Around and around we go.
I’m guessing that many of us think we are the only ones who struggle with these issues, so I’m not entirely comfortable writing this, but … Yeah.
It’s easy to become fixated, isn’t it? On the trivial, mundane, or imaginary leaf-litter, I mean. We do it in real life, and sometimes it slips into our online existence as well. I don’t have the capacity to keep up with which Cat is mortal enemies with whom, and I don’t intend to lecture anyone. (I perceive you all as characters in South Park, with or without disturbing giraffe fetishes).
There was going to be a point to this Muddydote, but I’ve forgotten it already. In fact, I’m beginning to get annoyed with the sound the keys on my keyboard are making as I type this. Like four dugongs playing checkers.
If I can remember where my dog parked my car after doing a bottleshop run, I’ll be off to the gym to test my now-brittle sense of patience, tolerance, and attention span.

As I said some months ago, Victoria is driven by ideology, but NSW is driven by money. No question who is going to win, especially when NSW is twice as big.
There is low tolerance among the people who matter in NSW for anything that slows down or stops business, especially construction.
Those of us who have lived here for a long time, and/or who have studied the history, know this.

Muddy, I’m with you. Everyone is dealing with it in their own way. I have become glued to my sewing machine or the garden depending on the weather.
I never liked the general public much, now I have an excuse not to interact with any of them. Unhealthy, but there it is. The only problem is not seeing my family. My youngest grandchild doesn’t know me.
No point in scoffing about using the forum as a kind of emotional support platform – for some that’s all they have.
The thing is, in rare moments of candour, even the modellers will concede that at worst their models are crap (and we’ve seen plenty fo that from the beginning) and at best they’re just a guideline. Someone has to weight it all up and make a decision which also takes into account important factors that are not included in the modelling, such as human rights and the economy. That’s the job of each state premier and his/her counsellors, with final accountability resting with the premier.
However, I realise we’re talking about Victoria, where apparently nobody in government, least of all Dan Andrews, is responsible for anything.
Muddy, we are here for you mate. Yes, we all have some rough stuff of own, but, if we share some of each others’, if only by listening, it makes our lot easier. At least it does for me.
If you are still feeling rough after your gym session, come back and we can chat.
Victoria, vaccination is your ticket to everything you miss.
A double dose means you can get back to all the places and the people you love – safely.
Why are Vicpol involved in pushing the jabs?
Since when has that been part of their role, their responsibility?
It’s nor just plod getting in on the act .. I’ve been getting 2 or 3 NO PEPLY texts a week from NSW HOUSING with a similar message .. their game is, supposed to be, rent collecting & repairs (reluctantly!) not spruiking gummint BAT FLU policy …….
They imprisoned and brutalized us in order to get the vaxx rate up as it was languishing mid-year.
If lockdown ends Thurs night, doesn’t the category Permitted Worker also lapse, and doesn’t the vaxx requirement also lapse accordingly? Or have they found a workaround?
Yes, Dover. Pretty obvious now.
Looking back on the “Delta” scare and how that escalated to complete trashing of freedom.
They know they can do it now. It won’t be “fool me twice shame on me” any more. The majority of people believe it and will do anything to resume a semblance of normality.
I wonder if they’ve discovered the state will grind to a halt. A real full stop, not just the twilight world of barely ticking over.
Andrews screwed up demonising astrazeneca early on, because like accepting the assistance of the Australian army, anything that smacks of cooperation with the liberal party is anathema, and as we did during the hotel quarantine fiasco, the people of Victoria must pay for his ideological purity.
Is he also increasing the chocolate ration?
Yeah, Bruce, They are marketed as Laxettes.
I’m getting endless pestering from Services NSW too. They are relentless.

Young Byron, my latest nephew, is eight months old, lives in Preston and I still haven’t been able to see his fat little face in the flesh.
Maximum Leader and Perrottet are both sidling into indirect admission that Rona is endemic, vaccination is not going to deliver herd immunity, and the various lockdown strategies are ineffective and unsustainable.
The political second prize is to claim a victory of harm minimisation.
In Queensland, Our Lady of the Borders and her Druid are pretty much saying the same thing:
The Science isn’t quite saying this yet, but the 80% targets are designed to minimise the call on the health system, and the political impact of numbers of elderly deaths.
The various costs of getting to this point of (near) clarity has been astronomical and will probably never be measured.
And we are very far from finished.
Especially as this is the intended purpose of the whole thing.
