Bob Carr has called for the unvaccinated to lose all Medicare benefits.

that veneer of fake compassion sure does rub off easily doesn’t it.

Yes, yes it does.

Great. Then I dont have to pay as much Tax. Also, fatties, smokers, motorbike riders, etc etc shouldnt get treatment either. After all, it was their choice if they get sick or injured.

What a fucking unhinged lunatic. However I wouldn’t put it past the fascist assholes running the place.

You can see it can’t you; while you were ramped after being sent to a hospital far away, you’re told to sign over your heart, lungs, liver, kidney, eyes and anything else, as surety before you can get any more treatment, because your last booster stopped covering you as “fully vaccinated”, an hour ago.

And before anyone cries, “unhinged, far fetched”, remember, EVERYTHING that’s ‘normal’ now, “could never happen”, a blink ago.

Hey Tom,
thanks for the toons. They were particularly good today. Even Rowe was acceptable.

This may be a dumb question. If banks are offering zero or near zero rates on deposits why would anyone lend them anything other than enough to cover expenses etc? So I suppose that bank deposits both long and short term wouldn’t come anywhere close to financing the banks lending, even with fractional reserve systems. So where do the banks get the money they lend out?, What am I missing?

I enjoyed Warren #2.

People who had most of their daily exposure to even moderately bright light in the morning had a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) than those who opted for later in the day – according to the study which included 54 people – 26 men and 28 women – with an average age of 30.

Co-lead author Doctor Kathryn Reid, research associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, US, said: ‘The earlier this light exposure occurred during the day, the lower individuals’ body mass index.

Shatterzzz, horrible about your old mate. We’ve all been there and understand.

Joanna’s idea is a good one. Can you see if your vet can do a home visit? If not, and worst comes to the worst and you have to leave him, can you ask your daughter to sit with him as the deed is done? That means the old fellow can have his head patted right up until the end.

To be thrown on the Captain Obvious pile of why dergs are good boys (the Hun):

A Bendigo woman‘s dog has become a hero after stopping a would-be intruder last month.

The woman was home alone with her dog when she saw an unknown man at the back of her McCrae St address about 11.20pm on October 13. The man, who remains on the run, entered her lounge room with a large knife in his hand.

He threatened the woman and made demands for cash before the woman’s dog lunged at the offender and grabbed his arm, before pulling him outside of the home. The victim was able to lock the back door after her dog ran back inside with the man fleeing via the side gate in an unknown direction.

Good dog. Good dog.

Exactly, Cassie, well put.

I’d also ask why he didn’t push on with the 18C deletion. Sure, it looked like it wouldn’t pass, but those who would have voted it down are the ones who’d be left looking wrong to the people Abbot seems to want to stand up now. Very weak political move to abandon that.

We have been standing up, but it’s difficult to get traction when common sense is derided as old-fashioned, far-right and whatever other insulting tags the media and the unthinking like to attach to us.

The LNP just do not seem to understand the very people they think they’re “representing”. Really, they have no idea. Useless grifters. Worse than useless, actually.

Yeah, eight years too late Tony.

Anyway perhaps I’m being too harsh on you…you’re a decent bloke and I’m pleased you’ve seen the light about “quiet Australians” and “cultural warriors”. But I hate to disappoint you, you’re eight years too late and that ship has sailed.

The time of the “quiet cultural warriors” is gone; now is the time for noisy cultural warriors.

Thanks HB, makes sense and sounds ominous at the same time. So where do the super funds etc get these 10%+ returns?

Cassie, excellent, Abbot speaks well and I think he means well but he folded at every opportunity to be strong, he left with massive super and financial security and now tells us what we should be doing. Aside from him being a massive failure his weakness gifted us Turnbull and Morrison and created the conditions that see us where we are today. A pox on him.

Cassie
Well said

Cassie, brilliant!

I always appreciate your comments even more when you go the point-by-point route. It really makes what you say forceful and the message sinks in even harder.

Don’t forget, he locked up Pauline Hanson. Nothing he says now is even remotely believable. Even if he were to sacrifice himself by putting a bullet through Dictator Dans’ head for the greater good, I wouldn’t believe him.

Bruce of Newcastle,

that is indeed sad news about Gene Simmons. I had long admired him as he always spoke out against cancel culture, BLM, Antifa etc, every nasty curse afflicting us today.

WA’s COVID-free status will attract international university students to Perth

Western Australia’s relative safety from COVID-19 will form a key part of its push for international students, but the sector’s recovery still hangs in the balance.

For the first time since borders closed at the start of the pandemic, international students will be allowed into WA when the state reopens early next year.

International students, from countries with large covid case numbers, will almost certainly be allowed more freedom of movement than the pureblood Australians.
….
Ms Ellery is confident many international students will come to WA in time for semester 1 of 2022, which is due to begin in late February.

“If you were a mum or dad sitting in Singapore or anywhere else, thinking about where you might want to send your 18- or 19-year-old to get the best education, Western Australia is one of the safest places in the world to do that,” she told ABC Radio Perth.

However in a remarkable near first the ABccess story also paints a different picture.

Survey finds Australia no longer ‘open and welcoming’
But a survey of more than 1,000 education agents from 70 countries by education provider Navitas paints a different picture.

“Australia has now lost whatever limited reputational advantages it enjoyed during COVID-19.”

Well done All levels of Australian governance, you have demonstrated you are pricks to the extent people would rather go to Resident Bainworms or UKlowntowns country than ours.

There is only one true way to make money and that is to create something of value to someone else. Not what I think it is worth, that’s what governments and councils charge for services. The hardest part is not in the creation but in keeping others from appropriating the funds from your effort for themselves. Paying a minimum of tax 20-25% is fine to keep the the hordes at bay and infrastructure to support the nation. Anymore is in the realms of usury.

Oh Shatterzzz that is great news!!!

I am sad you are losing your best mate, but you need to be there for him and for yourself.

Amnesty International

…was formed by Communists who had fought in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War, for the sole purpose of lawfaring their fellow travellers out of Spanish jails.

They were ‘convinced’ to widen their remit a little by hard-leftists in the British Labour Party after WW2, if they wished to attract any form of Comintern support. As such, while theybpretend to be on the side of all political prisoners to attract the goodwill and donations of useful idiots and normies, their only interest is in fellow Leftwits.

Just pathetic.

Sorry, Gab. Just checked the link and you’re right. It is listed as private. Having done further checks, I’m dubious about the story. It’s refuted by Newsweek fact checkers, for what that and they are worth, but the zoo has also denied the giraffes were vaccinated in any way.

What to believe these days? It’s enough to0 make your head ache.

The curious origins of Amnesty International

Terry McCrann, Paywallian:

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Your economic and financial future is in the hands of an incestuous combine of the most spineless and most incompetent people on the planet on the one hand and the greediest on the other.
The first group are the people at the Fed – the Federal Reserve Board and its Federal Reserve Bank members – who have spent the year literally and utterly incompetently not seeing the rising inflation all around them in the US, and then pretending the inflation wasn’t real.
The second group is of course those ‘masters of the universe’ that infest – and that word is used very deliberately – lower Manhattan, mid-town, indeed anywhere there are $US10m, and higher, condos, and Long Island and in particular its eastern end.
A competent Fed that was actually prepared to do its job and discharge its responsibilities would have long since abandoned its QE money-printing and already raised its policy interest rate by at least two full percentage points.

It hasn’t done so because it is thoroughly incompetent and has long since disgracefully sold out to Wall St.
To have done so would have sent Wall St plunging (and, I might add, our market as well), slashing trillions of dollars from the values of US equities – and US bonds – and contemporaneously upended the multi-million dollar salaries of all the Wall St ‘mates’. To repeat what I wrote last week after the Fed’s latest exercise in spineless incompetence at its policy meeting, all you really need to know about the Fed, was captured in Wall St’s response overnight Wednesday to that stunning 0.9 per cent monthly inflation.
Annualised, that’s inflation of more than 10 per cent! For the whole 2021 year it will top 7 per cent.
The longer the bubble lasts the bigger the ultimate bust.
In late September, the Fed was ‘forecasting’ 2021 inflation would ‘only’ be 4.2 per cent. Utter incompetence; it makes our Treasury’s budget forecasts look good. So traders looked at the number and yawned. The Dow eased just 240 points – all-but a rounding error for a Dow at 36,000.
Those traders know that the Fed will continue to sell out the vast bulk of the American people – from those earning $US15 an hour and are struggling to survive with soaring prices of life-necessities like food and heating, up to an including the rapidly vanishing ranks of ‘middle America’ that might be earning between $US40 to $US100 an hour.
The Fed will continue to sell them out to the aforesaid Wall St vermin, who earn anywhere from $US1000 to $US100,000-an-hour, riding the Fed-created and sustained biggest bubble in world history.
Faced with the very real and rising inflation, last week the Fed only committed to the gentlest of QE-tapering – it will still keep printing $US100bn of new money a month, further pumping the market, and left its interest rate at zero.

A competent Fed, a responsible Fed, would have responded to the inflation number with a 180-degree U-turn: immediately abandoning all QE and raising its policy rate by 50 points. That would have sent the Dow down – 5000 points? 10,000 points?
No, that would not have been catastrophic; it would have been a return not to, but only towards, sanity.
Don’t worry, short-term. There’s not the slightest prospect of the Fed doing anything even the tiniest bit responsible. It will bend over backwards to keep the bubble bubbling.
But worry, really worry, long–term. The longer the bubble lasts the bigger the ultimate bust.
And that’s before, thinking about China – the China that has saved both the global economy and help boost Wall St and other markets.
That China is clearly disintegrating. What exactly is replacing it, nobody knows, but it is not going to be good.
Anybody who claims to tell you is a charlatan.

parts of the paddock go two tonnes to the hectare

Two tonnes? FMD!!
Oh…
Not per acre.
My Dad died 26 years ago, and no-one has boasted yield to me since. His best ever was fresh green peas harvesting 125 tonnes on 100 acres, and I am talking freezer peas not stock feed. It was really great when they produced a wheat variety we could grow below the edge of the wheat belt, as the pea companies went out of business just after that.
My condolences to those harvesting frosted wheat. Hope your revenue evens out enough to get by or better.
