Anyone who can’t pronounce the name of our greatest human treasure (the wonderful Richie Benaud) cannot be believed about anything.

I suspect that noble name was included as a preemptive insanity defence.

So that’s accidents and emergencies- but the hospital beds are choked up by unprecedented walk-ins, proles in pain and distress coming in with tricky things like heart arhythmia and joint pain. IE, jab side-effects.

This is happening in many other countries where vax rates are very high.

BTW, I agree that nothing is accomplished in telling the vaxxed that they are doomed. I make it a practice not to even discuss vaccination with people unless they raise it. I actually faced an awkward situation last week – which forgive me if I have already mentioned it. A couple who won a hobby farm near us called in to see us. He is a “corporate” & she owns (as landlord) 2 medical practices. Eventually, knowing that we are unvaccinated (& a tribute to them not falling for the “avoid the lepers nonsense), she asked me, a tad condescendingly, “You’re afraid of the vaccines, are you?” I took a deep breath, smiled, & said words to effect: “I have done a risk analysis….we have looked at the stats…& , given our precautions, we have decided not to have it.” Undeterred, she pressed on & assured me that they had not had any problems with thousands of “jabs”. Again, I smiled & muttered that “there seems there is often a problem with reporting….”

And changed the subject. It really depends on the people themselves. They are some REALLY sanctimonious people to whom I give a “battering ram” response – particularly if they accuse me of being an anti-vaxer.

But the people I REALLY respect are the ones who were faced with the loss of jobs and income if they do not become vaccinated. For them, it is an intolerable situation & I am deeply, deeply sympathetic. I am angry for them, as I am for the reduced living choices it has caused us dissenters, and again….I will NEVER forget or forgive.

I have a further appointment with Western allopathic medicine today, and very glad I am to keep it, so I am off in a minute. I am not against all alternative forms of treatment, some of it using physical manipulation, nor do I dismiss the value of nutritional supplements that have good biological pathways and some level of testing in vitro as well as in vivo, but when herbal claimants push their concoctions of totally untested ingredients I get suspicious. Why take something where you don’t know the active chemical and its dosage level let alone the cleanliness of its extractive process nor anything of its genuine efficacy?

Australians will be getting booster shots to combat COVID-19 for years to come, with annual injections to become an integral part of the national vaccination program, according to the Pharmacy Guild.

National cabinet met on Friday to discuss the roll-out of the booster shot program to the general population, the vaccination of kids aged 5-11 – with a decision on this expected in the coming weeks – as well as the use of rapid testing and shorter quarantine periods.

Pharmacy Guild president Trent Twomey said there would be a need for booster shots “for the foreseeable future” to protect Australians against the coronavirus.

Marjorie Taylor Greene gets into J6 jail, inmates sing national anthem (5 Nov, via Instapundit)

After months of trying, conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was given access last night to the jail housing up to 120 alleged Jan. 6 rioters and watched as they sang the national anthem, a nightly ritual. … She dubbed it the “Patriot Wing.” In a series of tweets, she showed the pretrial defendants dressed in orange while singing the anthem.

“I just left the Patriot wing of the DC jail where I visited with pretrial J6 defendants in person. I asked questions and heard their stories. We must do everything we can to remain a Free America where justice is colorblind, doesn’t see political lines, and truth prevails,” she tweeted.

These people have spent nearly a year in jail without trial for the alleged crime of parading inside a building which on most days you can tour with a tour guide.

Why bother to wait for the TGA’s ‘deliberations’ when the outcome has already been decided?

Mr Hunt also provided an update on the government’s plans to vaccinate children aged five to 11, saying it was unlikely to happen this year.

The medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, has not yet given the green light to any COVID-19 vaccine for young children.

Having gained approval in the United States, Pfizer has applied for its vaccine to be approved for use in that younger age group in Australia, but Mr Hunt said the regulator was still waiting on the company to submit all its paperwork.

“We haven’t got the full detail yet from Pfizer,” Mr Hunt told Sky News.

“And Moderna will also put in its application. So our plan and expectation has always been to commence as soon as they have completed their deliberations. But those deliberations are going to take the coming weeks.”

I noticed the same thing when the various brands were being submitted for approval originally. It was taken for granted that the applications would be approved, as indeed they were. AFAIK not one was deemed to be unsafe or unsuitable. What an amazing hit rate for a bunch of untested drugs!

What is the point of the TGA?

Sancho, Hairy responds badly to bee stings, needs antibiotics as well as antihistamines.

I had a worse adverse reaction to Nurse Terse than the bee.
Things went downhill when she tut-tutted about my single vax.
I asked politely if that would change the bee treatment.
“No.”
“So why is it relevant?”
“Harumph.”
Then I asked if the vax would have anything to do with the reaction.
“Nooooo!”
A reasonable question.
If the vax is designed to stimulate your immune system, is it not possible it might contribute to a reaction?
Also, the Doc wasn’t particularly fussed about the alcohol plus anti-histamine mix, despite Nurse Terse solemnly informing him of it in her best school ma’am voice.

I appear to have prompted a second sermon today. Mr Ruth Thunberg of 18 To 48 Months:

Personal responsibility extends beyond the immediate family.

No. The two concepts are mutually exclusive, after your offspring are old enough to make an informed decision. It is not your responsibility to demand what hundreds of thousands of people should do. You’re not ‘arguing’. You’re screeching.

By the way, after all that has now come to fruition, will you not at least admit you may have issues in accepting the reality that it is a global socialist coup d’etat?

You forgot to put the word ‘agrarian’ in there somewhere.

Look. It’s either a coup d’état, which is what you’ve argued, or it’s a worldwide conspiracy theory born at the end of WWII by global agrarian socialist Stonecutters who REALLY run the entire world and everything in it, which is also what you’ve argued. It can’t be both.

Because you couldn’t convince your own son not to get the jab (and you brought this up yesterday, so don’t start) doesn’t mean you can yell harder at the rest of us.

Bushkid was bang on earlier. You do not and cannot know everyone’s circumstances. Not telling you what to do, but perhaps you may be better received without the emotive squealing, or the language straight from the A1 manifesto.

They need a better acronym but I like their style.

The military is commissioning its most powerful laser weapon to date. Announced October 25, the Army is asking for a 300 kiloWatt solid state laser and has awarded a contract to General Atomics to deliver it. If successfully developed, it will be powerful enough to destroy a range of objects, from small drones to flying missiles.

Formally called the “Distributed Gain High Energy Laser Weapon System,” or DGHELWS, the weapon is billed as a protective tool, a kind of defense between soldiers in the field and weapons that mean them harm. By focusing a powerful beam of light steadily on an object, the laser can burn through it, given enough time and enough power.

The contract is to deliver a powerful, compact prototype of this laser weapon.

Power consumption is going to be an issue, and heat dissipation, but the benefits of a cheap light-speed version of Iron Dome would be immense.

General Atomics and Boeing will build a giant laser for the US military (4 Nov, via Instapundit)

So Tom’s the second one here who’s admitted to needing 3 tries, after I pointed out the problems I’m having, and that’s cool, good on Tom for persisting.

BTW, I’m up to 8th try after trying all the advice I asked for here and more, and now there’s a new ‘glitch’ of jumping straight to the ‘Captcha’ BEFORE being able to click the ‘tick boxes’ let alone “Sign”, which then sends me back to ‘tick the bloody boxes’ red letter admonishment to start it all again, again.

So yeah, too much traffic can explain some things like slow loads etc., but so many CHANGING sets of presentations & requirements, nah, that doesn’t wash.

Anyway – Total signatures including previously tabled 5199 – it seems to be picking up a little now, so maybe, just maybe, letting the bastards know that the people know the Govt can & likely are playing games with the numbers allowed to sign, is having them let a few slip through, though I’ll still absolutely refuse to accept any final number they release as anywhere near a true reflection of the numbers who wanted to sign.

“the innumerate window licking morons in government and the media are blindingly ignorant of the energy requirements of transportation, which consumes many many multiples of the energy generated by the electricity sector, itself busily being destroyed by the same window licking morons with “renewable energy””

Consider yourself lucky you aren’t in the USA.

Supply chain issues have arisen for the two major container terminals in CA – not enough trucks to move the containers out from the port. This is because CA says any truck older than 10 years can’t be on CA roads, which rules out the majority of owner/drivers that could do the work. Together with a shortage of truck drivers, this means not enough movement OUT of the terminal.

Solution the first: remove port unloading time restrictions, so it can operate 24/7.
Predictable outcome: nothing changed because there are not enough trucks to remove containers. Back to square 1, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Solution the second: you can pile the containers up on the ground outside, rather than the dock itself.
Predictable outcome: such places fill up quickly due to lack of anyone removing said containers, back to square 1, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Solution the third: fine the container ship owner for containers that are not removed from the area after a week, at $100/day/day (that is $100 first day over 6 days, $200 second day over 6 days etc). Do the math on a 20,000 container ship. Millions in fines, not because you didn’t deliver on time, but because you did and they can’t move the stuff out fast enough. Gee, I wonder if they will just wait in deep water and only dock when they can be sure there are sufficient trucks to avoid the fines? Which should happen some time after hell freezes over at this rate.

I kid you not – fine the people bringing stuff in because your rules don’t allow for enough trucks to remove stuff from the dock (area). Only GovCo could come up with this crap.

When we got our food I noticed that she was getting her things together to leave but didn’t actually go.

A few minutes later a young couple went across to her to help her up. Apparently she had sunk to the floor. They pulled her up but she was incapable of bearing her own weight and sank down again. The owner came and called an ambulance and they managed to raise her onto a chair. It was as if her body was made of rubber without any bones at all and with zero motor control. We left before the ambulance came and she seemed to be getting better and coming back to herself at that point.

You can imagine what my first thought was.

Australians will need Covid vaccine booster shots at least once a year ‘for the foreseeable future’ to keep the deadly disease at bay.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said boosters may be needed to go to the pub or sporting events in his state.

‘A month before your six months is up, then you will get a message and your vaccination certificate, the thing that gets you the green tick, you’ll be prompted to go and book a time to go and have your booster shot,’ he said.

….and if you don’t get the mandated ‘jab’ every six months your ‘green tick’ turns to a red cross and you’re officially an unvaccinated anti-vaxxer just like us.

Who could have predicted this exact thing allll the way back last year?

Welcome to your new life as a forcefully-dependent junky.

It crossed my mind that this is perhaps what will lead people to turn against the vaccines.

If they thought they only had to have it done once then, once they had had theirs, then there was no additional threat to them in insisting other people be so. They have even been gifted the self-congratulatory thoughts that they have done the heavy lifting and all those others are getting the benefit for free.

When their six months are up and their virtue changes in the bat of an eye, and they become unclean where they were the day before pure and they must risk the vaccine, they may begin to suspect there is something wrong here.

A non-Pom resident is required to renew their residence visa every three, and in some cases five years. From memory it costs 5,000 pounds, or more. Permanent resident application fees are enormous.
Interestingly, we have some Pom self funded retiree friends here (retired here from OS). They pay through the nose for every imaginable and imagined service. Residency renewal is eyewateringly expensive and their place on the citizenship application ladder goes backwards as the Govt brings in more immigrants.

I think pushing hard for the 151 seats might be a mistake.
First priority is to get two or three solid senate candidates in each state or territory.
Then target marginals in the lower house, followed by other seats they could push into marginal territory.
If they ran properly vetted candidates in, say, 75 seats, that might be enough to win half a dozen.
Candidate vetting has not been Fat Clive’s strong suit in the past.
Why nominate some fuckwit in an unwinnable seat who is revealed as a “Grampians Grudge Nazi” a week out from the election?

Supply chain issues have arisen for the two major container terminals in CA – not enough trucks to move the containers out from the port. This is because CA says any truck older than 10 years can’t be on CA roads, which rules out the majority of owner/drivers that could do the work. Together with a shortage of truck drivers, this means not enough movement OUT of the terminal.

I thought it was 3 years old trucks, but whatever.

LAWYERS representing young people mistreated in NT youth detention will on Monday ask the Federal Court for more time to connect with former detainees eligible for a slice of the $35m compensation package.

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers want to push the current registration cut-off date of November 16 out to June next year to find more of the 1200 potential class action members.

Maurice Blackburn senior associate Kerry Palmer said more than a third of members had registered so far.

Ms Palmer said what happened to the young people was “horrific”, and those eligible for the payment deserve more time to register.

“The young people who’ve registered with us are universally supportive of the settlement,” she said.

“They see it as an important recognition of the wrong that was done to them while they were in youth detention.

“Their greatest hope in this class action and settlement is that children in the Northern Territory never have to go through what they did.”

In July, the NT government agreed to compensate detainees held in the infamous Don Dale and Alice Springs youth detention centres between August 2006, and November 2017.

At $35m in compensation, it is thought to be the largest ever class action settlement the NT government has faced.

The amount paid to each person will vary depending on how long they were in detention, what happened to them, and how many people register for compensation.

Solution the first: remove port unloading time restrictions, so it can operate 24/7.

This is this first issue they are trying to overcome by running trailers to the border using approved trucks, and unclean trucks take them the rest of the way.

How much of this port is owned by the Chinese government? The economic vandalism they have caused is grounds for a takeover of the port and throwing all the owners in gaol would be a good move.

This is the big scandal that started before the truck mandate. The ports were already congested before the new rules were adopted.

That was AC’s strategy (almost – they had even more concentrated – the Senate). And for this they were roundly criticised by conservatives, including on the old Cat.

Even if UAP don’t take many seats, at least they can do some financial damage to the uniparty.

I wish I knew where, but a while ago I read that we are risking babies’ hearts to protect adults, for the first time in human history they are our shields, not us standing in front of them shouting over my dead body. The family argument ended carefully. I pray that’s always the case.

It will be tougher than ever for the Minors this time around with a panicked LNP using every corrupted resource to tear them down or block them out.
MSM and ABC will leap onto every accusation made by the LNP regardless of truth.
They need to focus on local. Door knock early and tirelessly, turn up to all public events, circulate, fight your way onto the marxist local rags.
Local preselection is essential to dodge idiots.
It is tough, but this election will feature a lot of alarmed, angry or disbelieving people who could be turned with well managed face to face, and a sympathetic candidate who is not a footballer or good time gal.
Married with kids is going to be a powerful plus this time around. People will be looking at candidates the way Virginians did. “Can he/she be trusted or are they woke”.
Clive’s money won’t help nationally when the MSM close ranks but local expenditure always has a disproportionate impact.

Lesbians forced to pay for IVF claim they are victims of ‘gay fertility tax’
Kieran Gair
Monday November 08 2021, 12.01am GMT, The Times
Save

A married lesbian couple have launched a discrimination case against a branch of the NHS fertility sector in England in what could become a significant test of the NHS’s treatment of LGBT+ families.

Megan Bacon-Evans, 34, and her wife Whitney, 33, from Windsor, Berkshire, have accused their clinical commissioning group (CCG), Frimley, of penalising them financially and subjecting LGBT+ families who are trying to have children to a “gay tax”, it was reported last night.

The couple, who have a social media following of more than 220,000, appeared on the reality bridal show Say Yes to the Dress.

The Guardian reported that the legal firm Leigh Day, supported by Stonewall UK and the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, will today apply for a judicial review on their behalf.

The women have accused the CCG of discrimination under the Equality Act and Articles 8 and 14 of the European convention on human rights.

Before receiving NHS help by Frimley CCG, same-sex female couples, and single women, must pay for 12 intrauterine insemination or IVF treatments to “prove” medical infertility. Most heterosexual couples are required only to have tried to conceive for two years.

Megan Bacon-Evans said: “We’re doing this for every LGBT+ couple who had to give up on their dreams of creating a family. It’s time for discrimination to end and for there to be equal treatment with heterosexual couples.”

Anna Dews, of Leigh Day, said that if the review was successful it could set a “powerful” precedent to challenge similar “unlawful” policies. The case could be heard in January in the High Court’s administrative division if permission is granted.

The couple have been married for four years and have spent £8,000 on donor sperm and mandatory pre- insemination tests. They started a petition for equal treatment last November.

From Craig Kelly:
we are working on pre-selections for all 151 lower house seats across the nation and full Senate tickets in each state and Territory

I think pushing hard for the 151 seats might be a mistake.
First priority is to get two or three solid senate candidates in each state or territory.
Then target marginals in the lower house, followed by other seats they could push into marginal territory.

Their plan is to tip out all sitting members of the House of Representatives, be they Labor or Liberal, by preferencing the sitting member last. They may take a few seats themselves, but the message is that all members who have sat silent on the treatment dished out to all Australians that their time is now up.

There’s a lot of anger out there in the electorates, whether that translates into winning votes for the UAP is probably doubtful, time will tell, but they can expect strong support, probably sufficient to come in at least 3rd place in most electorates, and their preferences will sack the sitting members.

No more model trains then:

The National Railway Museum and universities across Yorkshire and the north of England will investigate the possible links between railways and the global slave trade as part of a £9,000 research project.

The project – backed by York, Leeds and Sheffield Universities – will ‘examine the economic, social and infrastructural legacy of steam and slavery across the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries’.

It will consider whether steam power aided imperial expansion and also assess trains for their role in facilitating expansion.

and

Staff at the museum have also previously raised concerns about the train that carried Winston Churchill’s coffin in 1965, which they said could become the focus of protest due to his links to ‘colonialism and empire’.

Concerns were also raised about George and Robert Stephenson’s Rocket steam engine which staff said could attract protests because the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, Robert’s benefactor, had links to profits made through the slave trade.

Bons, there are so many different groups who I think are p1ssed off with the government but don’t like the liars. Normally, governments put off-side one or two groups, but now it’s across the board. Will that be enough to unseat all these parasites?; let’s hope so! And especially so because the right-of-centre minor parties do provide some alternative this time ’round. With Kelly at the front on UAP, and with some quality candidates, hopefully it’s going to be worth it. The fact that the Lib Dems have attracted some well known candidates will help in the mix, as will One Nation.

As an example of the way the electorate is waking up to the major parties manipulation of the electoral system, over the last month I’ve had a couple of discussions with some youngish tradesmen. They’re now “switched on.” In amongst discussions on quotes etc, I’ve had a number of calls from one of them asking me about voting and how the electoral system works. He’s said himself that he was never interested in this stuff and wasn’t even on the electoral role. Now, the vaccination mandate crap has made him aware as has the SFLs decision on nett zero, that there’s a lot at stake in an election. The other one knows all about Russiagate, Durham, Fusion-GPS and the General Flynn stuff.

If these blokes are the tip of the iceberg that will really enthuse me. It’s the first time in a long time I’m heartened about where we’re all going to end up.

(*Notwithstanding the fact that all the most modern multi-billion pound DE and electro-diesel bimode railcars entering servicd repeatedly prove to be mechanically unreliable, shoddily made and woefully unsuitable for purpose, the new battery electrics the same manufacturers are milking incredible subsidies for are unproven and based on the same flawed vehicles, and there are even hydrogen prototypes being trumpeted…)

Earlier there were some complaints about my post on the release of 28 names of prominent Australians who were accused of child abuse from the Royal Commission as “defamatory”.
The names were already on the list – they were going to be released, but we’re not due to a suppression order.
(One rule for them, but not for us)
Now they are public.
I have no idea whether any of them are actually guilty of anything, and I think Cardinal Pell was persecuted and wrongly charged.
However, if you don’t think any of the names on that list are abusers I think you have zero understanding about who runs the world. There are so many high profile abusers in elite positions it can be deeply depressing to think about it (unless you know God will be their judge).
So before you get your knickers into a knot, know first that you are dealing with very wicked people at the top of society and that the last two years should be enough of a wake up call that they don’t care about you or your children, which they would gladly sacrifice to Moloch for their gain.
You do know they are trying to manage an experimental injection into every child in Australia for a disease that has zero affect on children? Is that not also child abuse?

Look, I’m not saying you – indeed all of us – shouldn’t hold out as long as we can. But everyone has a different level of resources that they can spend resisting, and we all have some limits that we simply cannot cross. Perhaps your significant other needs special care and your company, but can’t get one or the other unless you both get vaxxed. Perhaps you will not be able to see your kids/grandkids without getting vaxxed. Perhaps you can’t afford to lose your home.
I’d certainly agree that those promoting the vaxxes and forcing them on everyone are bad people, but those who, like me, didn’t want them but caved in and had it because we had reached one limit or another are no worse than those who manage, through their own circumstances, to hold out longer, but ultimate cave.
