Perrottet’s New Puppeteer

“Once every single person in this state has had the opportunity to be vaccinated then we should open up for everyone… I want to see more unity and not a two-tiered society… It’s not the government’s role to provide freedom.” Dominic Perrottet talking to Joe Hildebrand on 2GB on 24 September 2021.

The Berejiklian date for the unvaccinated to enjoy equality with their vaccinated superiors was 1 December. Surely Perrottet would bring this date forward. After all, as at to today 2 November 87.8% of those 16 years and over in NSW have been fully vaccinated. Time for universal freedom, one would think, from a principled “conservative” Catholic. One would think wrong.

The date has now been extended to 15 December or until 95% are fully vaxxed – an unlikely prior event.

Ms Berejiklian was caught by ICAC as saying Perrottet does what I tell him to do. Just so. Presumably, he wanted keep in sweet with the former premier. Now, presumably, it’s the turn of public health officials to pull his strings. Can’t say I’m surprised. Principles and politicians seldom, if ever, go together. We need Hayek’s model. No one under 50 years of age. Strict ten-year limit. Mind you, human nature being what it is, we’d still get mostly unprincipled tossers.

    It’s not the government’s role to provide freedom.” Dominic Perrottet talking to Joe Hildebrand on 2GB on 24.” And it isn’t their bloody right to take it away from us either and the bastards have done just that whilst enjoying a full salary.

    Demonstrated liar.

    Hope you’re proud of yourself, Dom.

    I think you’re a stinker.

    It is now well past the point where people who are not collectivists and who’ve retained some semblance of principles and dignity must actively campaign against the gliberals (and the nationals) at the next federal and NSW elections.

    I will not settle for anything less than a WA style dose of electoral oblivion.

    Just an appalling decision. As far as I can tell the only place in the world with greater than 90% vaccination is Gibraltar. FFS Dominic. Why do you even exist when you let that prize goof Chant push you around?

    A shit rain of black propaganda ought to be a welcome prelude to this.

    On a brighter if not quite the correct state note, the words ‘bat-eared mong’ have escaped my lips several times today and to various peoples. Once the meaning is explained, laughter ensues.

    I do love a good Cat-icism.

    I find it helpful to maintain low expectations of these people called politicians.

    When they prove true to form you’re not disappointed.

    When they do the right right thing you’re pleasantly suprised.

    But only momentarily.

    Parrotet has been part of the most disgusting NSW government that I can think of- power stations, abortion, keeping qualified men out of jobs. So of course he’s another ‘nobody’s gal’.

    Did any of you actually think the Parrot was actually going to go contrary to whomever is pulling the strings around the world??

    As someone said some time back, we are going to have to shoot our way out of this.

    These arbitrarily set limits of just how many will have to submit to the clot shot in order to supposedly be granted some ‘freedoms’ are nothing but utter BS.

    Remember ‘Two weeks to flatten the curve’? — This is a continuation of same.

    As data from numerous countries that are ahead of Australia in the vaxx push indicates, it is beyond any doubt now that 1) the ‘vaccines’ don’t work and 2) they are not safe.

    Since mass vaccination began in Australia, ‘cases’ are up by 690%.

    Out of 217 nations reporting vaccination statistics in Our World In Data, 183 have seen an increase in per day COVID-19 deaths. (Source.)

    ‘Vaccines’ cannot ‘fix’ Covid and the government knows it.

    Those of the sheeple who have not yet worked out what the end game is clearly cannot be helped.

    And they have legalised the use of foreign troops & police on Australian soil.

    Just like the Nazis, they have to make what they do legal. Evil, immoral & plain bad – but legal.

    If we are ever in a position to hold them to account, this “legality” will hold them in the same stead as it did the Nazis.

    I’m bewildered that people who get to the top of the greasy pole of politics can be so tin eared as to not know what will happen when the civil populace gets pushed too far.
    Is this what they are really after?
    I suppose it would give them an excuse to confiscate weaponry, even if they had to organise the hit themselves.

    “How is it legal for the NSW Premier Dom Perrottet and Minister for Health Brad Hazzard to PREVENT people from accessing employment?

    The right to work is meant to be protected.

    Are these two prepared to force the un-jabbed into homelessness?

    Where are the the human rights lawyers?”

    You would think that as a Catholic, as someone who has had to put up with abuse and prejudice, having his Church and all priests maligned, being accused of all manner of crank beliefs by uninformed bigots, being considered a retrograde dinosaur because he believes in things like heterosexual marriage, that abortion is wrong, the importance of the family unit, etc – that a man who has just recently himself seen that merely being Catholic rather than anything he has done has been enough to unleash scorn and opprobrium and deem him unfit for office, might have a little more of a sense of protecting the individual from the mob.

    I don’t know his spiritual state, but I have to wonder why he thought it important that he get the Premier’s job if he was going to be just like all the rest.

    He could have shown courage – and when it was just talk he put on the show – but he has chosen not to. He could have made a stand against the Twatter mobs and the Karen’s, or he could have refused to stand for the Premier’s role saying that he could not in good conscience commit to the policies the rest of the party wanted, but noooooo.

    Big car. Big office. Big Money. Sod youse lot.

    I agree – there won’t be any civil war.

    Most will die from the clot shots & the small remainder will be mopped up by the UN Peacekeepers (CCP). Our “Leaders” have sold Australia with a vacant p[ossession clause in the contract.

    Unlike Struth, I believe the forces aligned against us are too great to have been stopped last ANZAC Day (2020). They would have backed of,f then come down harder & quicker (eg Dan XiMan).

    If we were up against only our police & some military, we would win, but we are up against the Deep State & all its forces.

    We need Hayek’s model. No one under 50 years of age. Strict ten-year limit. Mind you, human nature being what it is, we’d still get mostly unprincipled tossers.

    None of those would help much. Only allowing people to vote if they pay more tax than they get in government largesse would help but history has shown that, eventually, suffrage becomes universal and we’re back to where we started.

    We need an extra step that would guarantee prosperity, liberty and even peace for all time:

    Give the nation’s/state’s/council’s leader the right *but not the obligation* to give people what they say they want.

    This changes everything. If you are a refugee advocate then the PM can grant you the “gift” of twenty undocumented immigrants to share with you in your home rent free. The day after the PM did this, every refugee advocacy program would shut down.

    If you’re a climate change zealot, your electricity from the grid gets shut off and your beachfront house confiscated with a few thousand dollars in compensation (to “protect” you from rising sea levels).

    Remember, there is nothing unjust about this. People are merely being granted what they claim they want. So if they complain they’ll just get laughed at. They’ll be virtue signalling to zero people because nobody else would want to personally face the costs of these demands.

    Imagine what would have happened last year back in March if ScoMo just locked down all the media and forced the leftists and CHOs to stay home (without pay) to “protect” them from the virus while the rest of us could live normally. All of a sudden this virus (along with every other virus) would become a non-issue.

    This ends virtue signalling for all time – which is to say that it ends all systematic evil for all time.

    “We need an extra step that would guarantee prosperity, liberty and even peace for all time:…”

    It’s the extremely complicated nature of both statute law and regulation that is the issue, I believe.
    We need to rescind laws, not create more.
    We need to rescind regulations, not create more.
    But politicians rarely get rid of laws, they simply have a “policy” of not enforcing them any more. Rules and regulations always increase, never decrease.
    And this is for the obvious reason – political power comes from the “No”. If you say “Yes”, you have no power. If you say “No”, then those who want what you deny will court you, showering you with gifts and assistance in order to get what they want. That all stops once they have what they want. So the answer is always “No – with a but”. This is why we have slowly morphed into the era where all politicians are “wheeler-dealers” – nothing gets done without some sort of deal. The obligatory “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”.

    Sorry, don’t know how to fix it without wrecking the whole joint first. Not even sure it is possible to do without destroying everything first. So we may need to endure that to get some semblance of rationality back. If we do nothing, it will all collapse at some point anyway, so perhaps it is better to “guide” the process, rather than simply await the inevitable. Of course, no-one would be elected on a promise to destroy the entire underpinnings of our society in 12 months, but that is what it would likely take. Or a war. Not sure which is worse…

    The truth will come out when the vaccinated start to contract this virus in droves, and what happens then? They are told to go home until they get really sick, no treatment given until they are dying and get put on a ventilator. By the way has anyone noticed how few died of the flu this season?
