Victorian residents are being discriminated against by the application of Victorian laws therefore they can sue in the High Court and the Prime Minister could support the case. Scott Morrison is not that man as he has proved by not supporting Palmer against McGowan. We will have to wait for a different leader and a different party.

Which case though? The border dispute or the mineralogy one? He was arguably discriminated against in both!

“Yeah I was in NY in mid 2001, can’t say too much, nudge nudge wink wink”.

Let’s get this right. There is no Morrison, there is no LNP, there is only Photios.
There is no politics, there is no ideology, there is only The Scam and the Photios cronies.
There is no media, there’s only the ABC and extorted taxpayer bribing of the herd media to demand the scam.
Of course there is no nuclear, cronies can’t scam nuclear.
There is no people, only minimum cost work units who should be forced into the Public Service.
The is no Labor, only union scammers who are in league with Photios scammers.
Photios wants his LNP to disappear. Democracy is time consuming.
The corruption is controlled at such a high level there can never be a revolution, only the little people fighting over scraps. The cronies see this situation as ideal.
Nothing else is relevant.
I hate them, but you have to admire them, East Germany won so easily and so quickly.

I’d take Kabul. No vax mandates there.

Plus I alway wanted a hummer and an M2!

CNN with pommy accents.

Thanks, Calli. Brilliant definition of the BBC.

Of course there is no nuclear, cronies can’t scam nuclear.

This is a significant observation.

The introduction of nuclear energy into Australia would completely dispossess the subsidy farmers and oligarchs feasting on the Australian economy. A dark cloud would instantly fall over the future of renewables and hydrogen and batteries and pumped hydro – as well as gas and exotic infrastructure.

There would be no place at the table for AGL, Origin, Energy Australia, Snowy, FMG, Santos, and all the smaller players – or all the supporting service providers and enablers.

Gone. Relegated to watching through the window. The happy pipeline of Lo-risk hi-return projects squeezed. Easy share price growth banished. Uncertainty back in play.

It might be good for Australia. But the howls and fear mongering and political point scoring would be next level.

Scrotty can’t contemplate that.

THE HEART OF THE GOOD LIFE
by George Cardinal Pell
10 . 26 . 21

“Can the achievements of the modern West survive the eclipse of Christianity? A recent book argues that they cannot.

This book is useful because it wrestles with the consequences of the decline of Christianity outside the Church—the hearts and minds of the recently lapsed and the long-term pagans, atheists, or agnostics. This game is now on, most visibly with the woke activists, cancel culture, and perhaps more dangerously with radical individualism. Claims to personal autonomy, the assertion that ‘I am the source of all valid claims about what I should and should not do,’ damage the common good.

I believe that both democracy and religious freedom are at the heart of the good life. Philosophical discussion is indispensable for their survival, but democracy and religious freedom can only be defended by determined citizens who recognize the issues and have the political will to act. Christians everywhere in the West, with fellow religious believers, should be organizing now to prevent future encroachments on our freedom.”

This game is now on, most visibly with the woke activists, cancel culture, and perhaps more dangerously with radical individualism. Claims to personal autonomy, the assertion that ‘I am the source of all valid claims about what I should and should not do,’ damage the common good.

I would call that solipism. I think individuals should be treated as sovereign – you need to respect the autonomy of others.

Cancel culture, health mandates, etc certainly do not respect the autonomy of all individuals.

Why else is Dan Andrews conceding ground if he’s not concerned about polling?

Could be for a few reasons, including:
1) To distract attention from his power grab (or to soften up the public) with the permanent pandemic laws.
2) To blame unvaxxed on the resulting rise in cases (which I’m sure they can organise if it doesn’t eventuate naturally) and use it as an excuse to push the jabs even harder (phrasing) and to justify pushing them on our kids.

Many reasons

Despite stronger promises, the world is set to overshoot climate targets, UN gap report finds

Obviously.

Particularly when the UN invents entirely new physics:

Global warming is close to linearly proportional to the total net amount of CO2 that has ever been emitted in the atmosphere as a result of human activities.

The Science has evolved and no longer needs to pretend .

Meanwhile in socialist nirvana Melbourne:

Climate activists have glued themselves to a bridge in Melbourne’s CBD, blocking peak hour traffic on a major road as the city emerges from lockdown.

Specialist public order police were working to free the protesters and return traffic and trams to normal.

Maybe Christians could make a difference by attending only the unvaxxed liturgies.

Only 20 people allowed for unvaxxed service and you still need to register before attending, I believe.
Plus many Christians are as fearful of WuFlu as the rest of the society. Another problem is “respecting authorities” goes very far without questioning the authorities. I have a feeling that Dietrich Bonhoeffer type character would be universally condemned in today’s church.

Cassie, I’m angry with everyone at different levels of intensity. Top of the pops is our government (all levels, all stripes). And my family, particularly the Beloved who really got stuck in about risk and the like (thinly veiled because he wants to travel).

But, most of all, I’m angry at me.

Gab, I haven’t followed closely, being in NSW.

However, I believe he’s “allowing” non vaxxed to enter all retail by 1 Dec. Previously, he had rumbled about vaxxed and unvaxxed economies, which seemed to me to prohibit the unvaxxed from shopping anywhere but essential stores.

This might be because NSW is relaxing requirements by that date. The ironing for me is that by then I’ll be fully glow-in-the-dark anyway.

Apart from still having the sh*ts at caving and being injected with it.

Caving? Doubt it.
Remember the CalliTip.
You do whatever you find necessary.

I caved. My CalliTip was to do whatever was necessary to protect yourself.

That’s always going to be a balance between different factors, including sanity.

And I’ve mentioned many times that I worked for Pine Gap on these blogs, for years, and although I am not at liberty to tell you what I did there, I can assure you it wasn’t anything 007 like.

However there are different levels of security and it’s just routine to know of everyone’s sexual leanings and all sorts of invasive style questioning because only a moron would think people with something to hide can’t be manipulated and coerced.
What Bosi knows about pedos in high places is probably absolutely correct, but it’s bad politics to come out with that as he’s trying to establish himself. I gave him away when he did that.
However his points made regards the magistrate either being a traitor or an imbecile are spot on.

What Bosi knows about pedos in high places is probably absolutely correct, but it’s bad politics to come out with that as he’s trying to establish himself.

I disagree. If you could prove your political opponents had all abused children and could be prosecuted for it with incontrovertible evidence, you are not only morally obligated to do something, you could be Caesar tomorrow.

He was double-scarey, but he looked rather kindly upon me.

I disagree. If you could prove your political opponents had all abused children and could be prosecuted for it with incontrovertible evidence, you are not only morally obligated to do something, you could be Caesar tomorrow.

And then there is the real world……………………….

Excellent work Dot.

No joke, I truly appreciate that.

The Digital Identity framework fails any reasonable cost-benefit analysis and an understanding of how e-commerce or digital currencies work.

-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 crypto wallets which are more secure.
-If I am buying something online, why do I need to prove who I am? Aren’t there laws already in place?
-It will not prevent fraud 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?
-Who has asked for this and how do they demand being taxpayer subsidised?

Legally, and from a human rights perspective, this proposal is flawed on its own and considering the confluence of increasingly more repressive laws in Australia.

The Bill is flawed. The below being used in good faith is contingent on those with political, bureaucratic and judicial power always acting with unquestionable morals.

Sections 87 and 88 give the Oversight Authority complete control of the implementation of the system. 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 protects the Oversight Authority and delegates against civil legal action for damages caused by the “good faith” implementation of the powers under the Act. No one in the private sector is immune to the consequences of their own incompetence like this.

The phrase “is not subject to direction” may result in an unaccountable parallel government, like the National Cabinet and would only have limited Parliamentary oversight. Possibly, any Australian Public Servant can be made an officer of the Oversight Authority and have immunity to all actions.

This Bill cannot become Australia’s Enabling Act – for a parallel, unelected Government with no control by the citizenry. We cannot assume angelic politicians, public servants or judicial officers will save us.

The confluence of other laws contrary to Australia’s human rights obligations and common law heritage along with the Digital ID proposal is very worrying. The data retention laws have already been misused for trivial matters like dog registrations with local councils. There is currently a cybercrime Bill before Parliament that would allow law enforcement to change the online details of targets. Abuse of this power under the aegis of a Digital ID economy would possibly lead to people being unable to engage in basic retail sales. The cybercrime bill would only require a member of the AAT, not a judicial officer to issue an authorisation.

The Digital ID concept along with the cybercrime bill in the context of absolute liability offences is terrifying. There is essentially no recourse if these powers were abused to contrive a crime existing. There is also a trend to weaken common law rights, such as the imposition of civil penalties, weak defences to being tried multiple times for the same crime, trials not on indictment, ex officio indictment and trials for indictments heard summarily.

Furthermore, recent constitutional law cases have strengthened the position of the States and Commonwealth against the individual where abuses of the above laws effectively destroy the rule of law.

Specifically, the Pape case had the High Court surrender the legitimacy of any controversial decisions of the executive (as a “nationhood” power) to Parliament. This diminishes the claim at all that Westminster democracies operate as “crowned republics”. The nationhood power is loosely defined and politicians are want to find a sufficient villain or cause whenever necessary.

The recent Palmer cases potentially: 1. Limit the right of appeal (civil or criminal) against any government, contrary to the Kable cases. 2. Following the case of Wootton v Queensland (2012), delegated legislation in Australia is “untouchable” if the enabling legislation is found valid; which gives delegated legislation the potential to be abused. “States of emergency” have been demonstrated to be enough to lose the concept of proportionality. The concept of the delegated legislation not being validly made from the enabling legislation is almost an anachronism. Keep in mind the new “emergency powers” sought by the Victorian Government. These cases possibly allow the powers of the Oversight Authority to become absurd and near impossible to challenge.

The cases regarding Peter Spencer implicitly overturned precedent from the WWII era that prevented the States acting for the Commonwealth to derogate rights on behalf of the Commonwealth for a quid pro quo.

These cases and the overwhelming potential for abuse of the Digital ID outlined above are alarming. Australians should keep in mind the secretive nature of the “National Cabinet”, the new emergency powers desired by the Victorian government and that our State Parliaments did not sit for months this year whilst the executives were making delegated legislation at pace.

Finally, reference to Hart v Commissioner of Taxation is noted, where rules of evidence and reasoning used successfully by the ATO would amount to fraud in normal commerce; were used to make common law. Under such a circumstance and the prior arguments laid above, the Digital ID Bill should not be countenanced. Reiterating the point regarding absolute liability and the derogation of our rights in a criminal trial diminishing in recent decades, this Digital Identity Bill can only be described as dystopian.

The Bill is an anathema to our human and common law rights. The potential for abuse on its own, and with the combination of other laws is simply too large to be acceptable.

This Bill therefore potentially creates a “social credit” system like used in the oppressive People’s Republic of China.

It is un-Australian and it should be killed before it goes any further. It should never be raised in Parliament again.

Looks like the submission got through.

Oh shit, what’s that blackhawk helicopter doing here now!?

I had a great address to the court prepared.
It was about The People.

I didn’t realise you were at uni, Sancho. Is Demagoguery still a three-year undergrad degree or are you doing a PhD?

Common good includes the freedom of conscience of the individual. Otherwise there is no freedom and therefore no ”common good”.

Change my mind.

St. Ruth, apropos of the four-day countdown:

How would I know, ya bloody frooooot loooop?
Maybe something is, who knows.

You will hear rumours. Some will be true, others not.

But he’s right about the magistrate.
And you know it.

Which bits? The secret oaths bit, the six days to repent bit or the bit about how the magistrate will submit to him along with the millions of Australians?

Brilliant.

And I’ve mentioned many times that I worked for Pine Gap on these blogs, for years, and although I am not at liberty to tell you what I did there

St. Ruth. All sorts of local Alice Springs muppets ‘worked at Pine Gap’. They still do.

This is not striking, nor impressive – except, of course, if you were one of the alien wranglers doing the run to Wycliffe Well and back. Those blokes are well hard.

‘You’re Here Under Oath, Are You Going To Answer The Questions?’ Cruz Grills TikTok Executive

Climate activists have glued themselves to a bridge in Melbourne’s CBD, blocking peak hour traffic on a major road as the city emerges from lockdown.

At least five Extinction Rebellion ‘rebels’ glued themselves to Princes Bridge near Flinders Street train station on Wednesday morning.

Dozens of protesters were also in attendance about 7.30am holding signs, chanting and showing support to the activists glued to the road.

Your Taxes at Work Stopping Other People Working

They gave their time by wasting everybody else’s. Very generous of them.

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/blogs/tim-blair/your-taxes-at-work-stopping-other-people-working/news-story/023430aefb044f6b6151ae7e9112999d

Blaming the death of a 99 year old on the vaccine several months after he was vaccinated?
Seriously?
And let’s just ignore the tens of thousands of frail aged who died of or ‘with’ covid.
Ninety five year olds are allowed to die.

Literally the exact opposite of what you were saying last year when you were smugly virtue signalling and blackmailing everyone crying out about being locked up, about not caring if your ‘mum’ lived or died.

Are you even real? Or are you a sockpuppet troll? Honestly, what difference is there between you and m0nty? More slippery than an eel.

S.T.E.A.L.

Social work, teaching, english, anthropology, liberal arts.

If only you were as hard on the globalist traitors as you are on Bosi.

Frank, are you aware that in a communist country, reporting the criminal elites as pedos to other criminal elites might not get you anywhere?
Are you aware that most Australian people still think this is about a virus?
So as I stated, in the real world scenario, you need a little bit of power before exposing them would do any good.
He could prove Scomo fucks goats and whaddaya think would happen.
Think you’d hear about it?
We might here, but no one else will and he kills off any chance of attracting votes from the morons like yourself, so he then can win an election and actually do something about the pedo stuff.
He’s relegated himself to nut job in the eyes of the denialists, which seems to be a majority of this dumb , naive, nation.
As a war tactic, I’d have hoped an SAS officer would be more switched on.

“It’s a crime not to report it”………………..a denialist’s mind of delusion.
Who are you going to report it to?
Whaddaya think would happen?
But he is right about this.
The Magistrate is either a traitor or an imbecile.
That can’t be argued.

So quite simply, he lost me.

Only Chinese spectators will be present/Why are the more strict measures than the Tokyo Olympics?
From February 4th to 20th, 2022, Beijing will host the 24th Winter Olympic Games. It will be the first city to have held both the Summer and Winter Olympics. On October 20th, the Olympic Torch arrived in Beijing, starting the countdown to the Winter Games.
China has announced more strict hygiene standards than those of the 2021 Summer Games in Tokyo – why? We will explain later in the episode.

Extinction Rebellion gluebacks

Further from Tim Blair:

The founder of radical climate activist group Extinction Rebellion has admitted that she drives a diesel car.

As long as Gail got her kids to their games, what’s the problem?

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/blogs/tim-blair/nothing-green-ever-works-petrol-is-just-too-good-edition/news-story/8d827838d7a3ca34368e88e9d0ef88ac%3famp

Dr Gail Bradbrook, 49, who helped to set up the protest group in 2018, made the revelation in an angry interview with TalkRadio presenter Cristo Foufas on Monday.

After revealing that she drives a car, she admitted that she does not own an electric vehicle because she cannot afford one.

When pressed further by Foufas about what type of car it was, she admitted it is powered by diesel, which is considered by experts to be even more harmful to the environment than petrol.

She said that she needs the car to take her children to football and rugby fixtures because her home is not served by ‘buses that run on a Sunday.’

You know what else doesn’t run in the UK? The road system, when it’s clogged up with Extinction Rebellion garbage babies:

Ahahahaha!

…and these commie deadshits say nothing about China/Chinese:

Building nuke,
Cadmium poisoning making solar UV panels,
Building coal plants faster than we can decommission them; and,
Using coking coal, not ridiculous hydrogen.

For example, the community enacts laws against polygamy, believing that it does not serve the common good. There is nothing to prevent an individual holding the belief that polygamy is right in his conscience, but his duty to respect the rights of others in the community trumps his personal belief.

Laws againt coercion im fine with but if they are aduilts it’s there life. If it turns out shit then that is the eample to the rest of us. We have gone to far protecting the dumb from them selves.

There was a paragraph about building STEAM talent.

Maybe they mean Steam talent.

Using game technology to help adolescents on the autism spectrum (Phys.org, 26 Oct)

Action video games make players better learners of visual and memory tasks (Phys.org, 26 Oct)

I suspect if you surveyed e-Sports millionaires you’d find a lot of them are on the autism spectrum. (Steam, for those who don’t know, is the computer gaming equivalent of Amazon.)

Just reading this blog, I would guess that maybe 10% – 20% of the people posting here have had high level security checks.
I had one.
The very highest.

So far, so goo-

The one you are not supposed to even confirm or deny that you have.

Sancho, you fool! You’re not supposed to talk about Omega Delta Four Highway! The one that gets you high-side intel from the hi-vis industry! Dammit man, what have you done?

Ah, shit.

politicians are want to find a sufficient villain or cause whenever necessary.

You don’t mean want. You mean wont.

KD, sarcasm get you deleted.

Yeah. Sure it does.
