Then, he looked like he had the narrative under control as he forthrightly challenged the Opposition on its 45% nett zero emissions policy.
To borrow a phrase from General Douglas Haig, Morrison is like a soft cushion who bears the impression of whoever last sat on him.
Then, it was Abbott.
The question is, who is it now?

What follows is an extract from a recent email to an unvaccinated Qld. Health employee. It is in response to the employee’s request for the results of a risk assessment of the COVID-19 vaccines, as apparently required by WH&S legislation:
Evidence from around the world demonstrates not only the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, but the very high-level efficacy. Peer reviewed studies published in reputable medical journals have vaccination reduces the risk of hospitalisation and death by over 90%, when compared to the unvaccinated. It also means staff are much less likely to transmit the virus to other, including importantly, to our sometimes immunocompromised patients.

The communication extracted above was signed by a Senior Director of Employment Relations, Qld. Health, and was dated 21/10/2021. No part of the letter (sent via email) responds in any manner to the employee’s request for the results of a risk assessment of the available COVID-19 vaccines. No references for the statistic used is provided.

Joh was the last politian to get rid of a tax in Australia. Forget a knighthood he deserves a sainthood. cf John Howard (Neil’s mate)
It was a good Tax.
Chalk resigned over it because it wrecked his 75/76 Budget, which was probably the intention.
What did the old idiot replace it with?
I’ll tell you.
A slew of Bad Taxes. -
Got tutored in a particular RMIT Law subject by a bloke that worked in or around one of those Bulk Law office set-ups they had back then.
I did check it at the time, 1970’s, and legit. Cleaning a gun.
Piggy.
Just to be clear.
You claim knowledge that Ronald Ryan shot his wife?
And claimed it as an accident? -
My 3 ages of motorbike riding is running true.
Today is a splatter.
Opened the foot from Achilles to middle of the foot via the kick starter.
RFDS out.At the same time a chap we sent off for covid jab ( his first) copped anaphalaxis and can’t return to site yet.
Stuck waiting till 600 for rfds pickup.
Busy afternoon -
The Oz is going mental over Twiggy Forrest saying he’s going to save the world with “green hydrogen”.
Sounds like the Yes Minister program where they put “meta” in front of a chemical to make it less dangerous.
The ABC to the rescue: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2021-01-23/green-hydrogen-renewable-energy-climate-emissions-explainer/13081872

That was what your mob was shopping about back when.Not sure who “my mob” is, but there was never any suggestion that Ryan shot his wife, or anybody else before Hodson for that matter.
Ryan was labelled as a “petty criminal” before the escape, with convictions for robbery and other forms of dishonesty.
As Zulu suggests, he was motivated to escape to convince his wife not to divorce him. He was hoping for a reconciliation.
Ryan only ever had one wife. If he shot her, explain the following from the Gruaniard in 2017:-Fifty years ago, Jan, Wendy and Pip Ryan huddled in the lounge room of their Hawthorn home and waited for the state of Victoria to kill their father. Their mother, Dorothy, had turned off the radio and TV. “Mum had everything dead quiet,” Wendy told the Age in 2007. It was an effort to strip away all the scrutiny that had marked the high-profile case of her condemned husband, Ronald Ryan. They held each other and wept.

We need to stop being civil...
No, no, no, no.
We need to keep voting for a bunch of sad apologists and keep spending 90% of our effort attacking anyone on our side who loses their shit and says anything impolite, all while shrugging our shoulders and going “Don’t complain to me, I don’t agree with it”.
Apparently. -
As regards Joh Bjelke Petersen, there can be only one of two conclusions:-
1. He was complicit in rampant police corruption; or
2. He was incredibly inept to have that level of corruption going on under his nose and not know about it.
I would agree with Roger.
He and Andrews are stamped from the same mould. -

I just checked Ryan’s wiki entry and it appears that the Political Law Enforcement, as opposed to the Peoples Law Enforcement, have had a field day on pinning crimes on him.
He was no saint for sure but the Political Courts made one mistake in their revisionism of his criminal history which was to leave in the town of Balranald.
People actually got to know him.
So okay… political decision to execute him… or not???

Hey, please don’t yell at me, in my heart of hearts where it REALLY counts, I don’t agree with the institution of a two tiered society backed up by a technological surveillence state… HEY! Look over there, there’s some guy writing screeds of angry stupid shit on the blog because this stuff has driven him completely nuts. What a douche nozzle huh?
-

Precisely.
At best he was an inept premier who failed to ask the questions of his ministers he should have.
And the only person in SE QLD who didn’t know about the serious problems in QPOL.
At the middling level of malfesance, he didn’t want to know.
At worst, he was complicit.
Overall, not a shining legacy.

Bosi is now fringe of the fringe and the telephone talk is just the latest in a series of are you serious podcasts, not to mention Australia One’s party policy of bringing back the death penalty for treason which seems to possibly include anyone who ever spoken positively about the vaxx.
Still it’s very important that we use the open forum to exclusively rant and rave about whatever is on a particular person’s crusade de jour is, that’s what it’s here for. -

He and Andrews are stamped from the same mould.Perhaps, but TaliDan has gone far beyond anything that J B-P ever actually did. Note that the media hated J B-P, and called him out on everything. The media luurrrrrve TaliDan, and excuse everything he does.
The media must be destroyed or reformed, preferably the former.

They’re still more afraid of the virus than the response. That may change.
Correct, people at work are horrified that I’m not vaccinated, they can’t understand it, also can’t understand my concern over everything else that has been done by Dan.
The only glimmer of hope recently is that the missus has agreed to get the kids Thai passports so they can get the hell out of here when necessary.

October 26, 2021 at 5:23 pmI can’t believe some are making excuses for Bosi’s embarrassing tirade at the magistrate. I doubt anyone would make excuses if a progressive, far-left, Extinction Rebellion, Antifa type mouthed similar histrionic gunk to a magistrate.
I’m trying to find out what heinous crime Bosi is accused of. According to the ABC, he called a magistrate in Adelaide an imbecile and a traitor.
As I don’t know this magistrate, it’s quite possible that he is both an imbecile and a traitor, or maybe Bosi is wrong on both counts and the magistrate is a very intelligent chap who knows both verses of the National Anthem. Storm in a teacup, there are bucketfuls amounts of angst out there so a little righteous anger is to be expected.

The missus has booked her jab.
All I can do is print out the instructions for aspiration, ensure she is happy she has chosen the least worst version of the vaxx for her age and sex, and monitor her afterwards for any effects.
The constant blabbering about the vaxxes by colleagues has battered her into submission.
Despite working from home and 100% support from me, it’s going to happen. -

It was Petersen’s hubris that brought him down in the end -as always.
His absence from a cabinet meeting while campaigning down south for ‘Joh for PM’ enabled deputy leader Mike Ahern to persuade cabinet to approve an investigation into police corruption.
By the time he returned from his southern jaunt, his own cabinet had lost confidence in him.

So my moral from 40 years ago is to never believe a Political legal person, whether politician, public servant, court worker whether be a judge/magistrate or police, whatsoever.
The fact is a court dirtbag was slagging as tutor at RMIT and stated that and proved it to me.
Political murder happens when fuckhead immigrants from savage societies are cosseted in peaceful Australian communities by criminal government.

Twiggy Forrest saying he’s going to save the world with “green hydrogen”.
His nickel brainfarts sort of worked, eventually, after two owners of them went bankrupt (and all their poor discombobulated shareholders). His green hydrogen ideas, though, are so off with the fairies, even the fairies are fleeing for their sanity.
There’s still nothing much happening climatewise. I wonder if Twiggy has ever been told this? Or if he even cares?
-
The constant blabbering about the vaxxes by colleagues has battered her into submission.
The badgering is constant for adults.
Kids are being bullied at school for not being vaxxed (High School).
Verbal fights are breaking out in primary school classrooms about vaccination (clearly a proxy for parents views).Well done, Dan.

Yes milton UAP would probably have been the best fit for him.
As for Victoria I’m hoping that the likes of Gideon Haigh and Tina Arena represents a significant cohort of disillusioned Andrews’ voters, and they hang on to their slow burns til the end of 2022.
Andrews is going to have to hike up taxes to pay for this mess too, never hit the hip pocket nerve. -
His absence from a cabinet meeting while campaigning down south for ‘Joh for PM’ enabled deputy leader Mike Ahern to persuade cabinet to approve an investigation into police corruption.
The Deputy Premier’s name was Bill Gunn.
Ahern did succeed Joh, but was so hopeles he was axed without facing the voters.
Also the tallest person to ever sit in the Queensland Parliament at 6’10”. -

We losing right up until the moment the fucking idiot population of Melbourne wakes up.
Always there are many more silent ones standing behind those who actually do the demonstrating, particularly when it’s a mainstream idea/dispute. And the numbers of Victorians who have been turning up at the demonstrations over many weeks has been in very large numbers. What we’re seeing is the widespread idea that away from Twitter Dan’s NOT the Man.

His absence from a cabinet meeting while campaigning down south for ‘Joh for PM’ enabled deputy leader Mike Ahern (huh?) to persuade cabinet to approve an investigation into police corruption.
By the time he returned from his southern jaunt, his own cabinet had lost confidence in him.It ran deeper than that.
The Deputy PM didn’t have the balls to do anything on his own.Sir Joh forced the rank & file membership to choose between him & (party President) Sir Robert Sparkes.
Unwise, as the people were always going to have more confidence in Sir Robert Sparkes.That was the unofficial no-confidence motion that began the slide.
It was all downhill from there on in. -

Agree- very courageous people too
