Explain why is restricted to hospitality……… GO!

True, but it’s caused by your incessant narcissistic pubbling and you mentioned the hospitality sector. You posted this in highlight:

(This is 100% of the available facts, as per the hospitality industry delegates to the govt)

Drills, you’re a simple creature, consequently I didn’t read any further as I believed it was going to be another bout of narcissistic pubbling. Forgive me, if it’s not pubbling it could only be those like Croc dundeeing, outbacking etc and you did mention hospitality, so naturally I went for the regular narcissism, (or NP for short).

Let’s start again.. what were you trying to say. I can’t be fucked scrolling back. so just post what you were attempting to convey here?

It affects the lives of all people who may find themselves in Qld.

Sure. Even Whitsundays as we’re thinking of heading that way if the weather clears up? Do you know?

IOC medical director Richard Budgett said, “You don’t need to use testosterone [to decide who can compete] at all.” “We really want to make sure that athletes are not pressured or coerced into making a harmful decision about their bodies,” said IOC head of human rights Magali Martowicz.

Not so JC, the sum total around our Major Hazardous Facility compliance was A$1M.

The site was arbitrarily designated one despite only meeting 50% of the volume threshold.

Then there is the whole bureaucracy monitoring and checking on us.

There is exactly zero point zero percent chance this is “Unintended”.
A lot of serious recreational/professional shooters reload their own because otherwise decent ammo (centrefire) is very expensive.

Next will be an “accidental” tobacco style tax on ammo to ratchet the price to buggery.

As “accidental” as this one.

“A used firearm say worth $500, to advertise that on the Australian market to sell it to get rid of it out of WA, where before it cost you before $40-$100 to transport it east … it now costs you over $300 to transport it,” he said.

When announcing the changes, WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson pledged to review the move in 12 months, but firearms industry figures say action needs to be taken now.

A meeting of minds: Bill Gammage and Bruce Pascoe on Indigenous life
By Mark McKenna

AUSTRALIA: Country: Future Fire, Future Farming, Bill Gammage & Bruce Pascoe, Thames & Hudson, $21.99

In early 2020, after the Black Summer fires had incinerated thousands of hectares of forests in south-east NSW, I drove the back roads inland from Eden. It was hard to comprehend the devastation: biologically diverse, dry sclerophyll forests had become charred wastelands overnight. The fires burned with such ferocity that they consumed everything in their path. Hillsides already scarred from woodchip logging were completely bare – you could see the sea from 10 kilometres inland.

Today, is Black Friday, which is a shopping extravaganza day with origins in the US. My Dad said to me that in the Australian context, days named as Black refer to catastrophic bush fires rather than hyped up shopping mall experiences. However unintentional, trivialising what is some of the most shocking of human experiences is unfortunate.

I think Dad’s right, we should remember what Black means to Australians, despite at the moment that other great Australian catastrophe – major flooding – being to the fore.

(Below is part of a letter I wrote to a very small local paper last year in response to another correspondent attempting to link the 2019-20 bushfires to climate change).

Australia has suffered major bush fires over many decades, the worst of which occurred in the years 1851, 1926, 1939, 1944, 1967, 1974-75, 1983, 1993-94, 2009, 2019-20 with numerous inquiries enacted to examine the causes and find ways to mitigate the risks.

The Victorian Stretton Royal Commission of 1939 reports thus, ‘it appeared the whole State of Victoria was alight on [Black] Friday, 13 January 1939,’ while in NSW (from wikipedia), ‘The fires burned from the South Coast across the ranges inland to Bathurst, while Sydney was ringed by fires which entered the outer suburbs, [and fires] raged towards the new capital at Canberra [and] in the Adelaide Hills…’

The 1939 Royal Commission found that the fires, like in other years, were the result primarily of arson and were due to campfires etc, which were ‘…allowed to burn “under control” as it was falsely and dangerously called.’

Following the 1943-44 Victorian fires the Second Stretton Royal Commission brought about the Country Fire Authority.

As with all the most devastating fires, the 1851 Black Thursday fires must have been horrendous. (Wikipedia),’Twelve human lives were lost, along with one million sheep, thousands of cattle and countless native animals.’

The temperatures, conditions and behaviour of the fires in 1851 mirror the latter disasters. Very dry conditions, extremely high temperatures and an ignition source (whether deliberate, accidental or natural), were the major factors. (From Wikipedia) ‘…the air which blew down from the north resembled the breath of a furnace. A fierce wind arose, gathering strength and velocity…until about noon it blew with the violence of a tornado…wrapp[ing] the whole country in a sheet of flame…By eleven it was about 47 degrees in the shade…The hot north wind was so strong that thick black smoke reached northern Tasmania creating a murky mist…[all] was consumed by the rushing fire leaving a quarter of Victoria in a heap of desolate ruins…The intense heat could be felt 32 klms out to sea where a ship came under burning ember attack…’

These accounts and others are what a Black Day means in Australia.

Jennifer Marohasy is a big fan of gammage. Gammage’s thesis is that the 3rd nations deliberately eschewed technological development and chose a more natural life so as to minimise their footprint on nature. Gammage ignores the fact that each of the 3 nations tried to exterminate each other, burnt the whole continent changing it from rainforest to arid and semi-arid vegetation and exterminated the Mega Fauna, the biggest man made animal extinction ever. Gammage is a fucking idiot.

Scooting over to Wagga for tomorrows march/rally.

The harvest has been effectively ruined for most of NSW grain growers west of the Newell Hwy and I’m guessing a lot on the eastern side too, given the volume of rain.
Some northern growers were able to get a lot of their cereals off but only some.
Down here, hardly anyone had a chance to do much wheat.

Scooting over to Wagga for tomorrows march/rally.

The harvest has been effectively ruined for most of NSW grain growers west of the Newell Hwy and I’m guessing a lot on the eastern side too, given the volume of rain.
Some northern growers were able to get a lot of their cereals off but only some.
Down here, hardly anyone had a chance to do much wheat.

See you there! Actually, I hope that you are lost in a huge crowd..

135mm here, but the canola has yet to be windrowed and the wheat is still gree enough to not be harmed. These are later-than-average crops about 1/2 way between Wagga and Albury, so I’m still hoping.
The most immediate concern is how to get trucks in and out of the paddocks. Had an earthmoving contractor in yesterday for some estimates, but there is no good gravel close to, that can be accessed with things this wet.

1. This morning I posted a comment which was about Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s piece in Unherd about how the left want to normalise pedophilia and polygamy.

2. My second comment was about seeing anti-News Corporation posters plastered on a bus stop here in Paddington…which I tore off with my fingernails. I suspect that this is the beginning of a GetUp campaign here in Wentworth.

3. This afternoon I posted a comment about how last week it was Meddick’s weirdo sprog claiming to be targeted because of who his father is and how today Martin Foley apparently has received a bomb threat.

So I think that I’ve been more than a one trick poster today……oh I know, apologies everyone, I haven’t posted anything about……..banking conspiracies. Sorry, but I don’t have any.

Yet another anecdotal reason to doubt vaccine adverse event reporting.

Super-fit young woman – she runs up mountains for enjoyment – collapses within 24hrs of her second shot. She’s medically-trained and is in a very good position to state categorically that she had no previous signs of this condition. Has gone from being able to climb 8000m – the equivalent of Everest – in a day, to being hardly able to walk to the mailbox.

Hospital staff cannot identify any other potential cause, but refuse to report this reaction as a potential vaccine reaction.

Whistleblowing nurses report that Drs are extremely reluctant to sign VAE reports… doing so is regarded as evidence that you are “anti-vaxx”.

We cannot trust the statistics.

Interesting comments today, and chimed oddly but not surprisingly with my day. This morning I was advising some of my (more) elderly friends not to rely on the vaccines or boosters completely – they must look after their general health, particularly weight.

We are all going to get it, one way or the other.

I’d be less annoyed if they actually work, but they don’t. Which always makes me feel like I’m encouraging a lie. But I doubt Perrottet has enough science to know why they don’t.

Between Chantal Uren of WAPOL, your example and the Australian nursing whistleblower reddit page somebody linked to a few months back, I’d say that there is an organisational culture that is a far bigger problem than any mere conspiracist could dream up.

The problem being, nobody can overcome it. The system is too big and too many egos and careers are too deeply entrenched in this thing, to allow the truth out.

As unpopular as this will sound (and please Uptick to indicate your utter displeasure at my most unpopular opinion), the only way it can ever be lanced at all is to let it continue to fail. No amount of Struth-speaking or demands that somebody act for us all will achieve anything. We know what is happening. So do they. And we know that they are aware of their system, regardless of how furiously individuals in it may agree with us and desperately desire to do something.

So we keep rolling our eyes at the official Narrative, we keep going out and demonstrating. We keep up our conscionable acts of quiet, personal resistance and keep looking out for each other. The natural ebb and flow of public opinion will do the rest…

Calling Grace Tame. Grace Tame to the podium, please (the NT News):

WHEN an Alice Springs mother was burnt to death by her partner her community was left with a single question: “Where was the national outrage?”.

On Thursday Federal Women’s Safety Minister Senator Anne Ruston described her visit to the Hidden Valley town camp where two weeks earlier a 34-year-old woman was murdered, on November 5.

Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker revealed the woman was seeking shelter from her violent 36-year-old parner when he poured accelerant over the door and set it alight.

The 34-year-old woman suffered significant burns, and passed away in hospital two days later. The alleged offender died as a result of the burns seven days later.

Mr Chalker said only hours earlier she texted her young daughter: “Today your dad is going to kill me. I love you, please don’t cry for me”.

The lady was hiding in the dunny, or trying to. The house was in the camps, of course.

As for the other blog, stop hallucinating that it was somehow not doing well. It was pulling in at times 30K readers a day. The fact that you didn’t like aspects of how it operated is neither here or there. You didn’t like its libertarian instincts? No one forced you to post there.

Readers of AFL columns, take fright (the Hun):

The AFL’s leading lady Caroline Wilson has caught Covid in Amsterdam.

Wilson and her family have all been struck down in the past week in the Netherlands capital, where a new wave has struck.

Wait, wait. She got better and is ‘resting’:

The Footy Classified co-host revealed she’d never watched so much television and had cried while watching Titanic again.

Salvatore, Understaffed & Overworked Martyr to Border Closure

Okay then maybe I’m wrong,

That is the sound of Mr. “Big Bet” demanding people put up “serious money” as a bet on something, squibbing out of a bet on something he’s long mouthed off about.
When it came time to show the cards, he folded.

No choice, he was .. er.. mistaken… all along.

do it now. Tell us just how shocked you were and how the act was unforgivably terrible.

No. I’ve never commented, or even acknowledged. I’ve no idea if this event ever happened.
Your word is hardly credible enough for any sane person to commit themselves to the belief that something actually happened.
This one posted comment someone may or may not have made, years ago, seems to be an obsession with you.

This is unhealthy. Get over yourself…. or seek professional therapy.

And more importantly Shit Dribbler, what is the common thread you, in your brilliantly internet-derived ‘original thinking,’ wish to draw through all three institutions?

It does not happen to involve a certain Rocky Feller, or someone whose name starts with ‘Roth’ and ends in ‘Child,’ perchance?

If so, you can take your Protocols and jam them up your arse. And your tinfoil hat, too.

Honest question and this really isn’t like one of those reverse, reverse and reverse insults I now have to do in order to pretend I’m nice to you so that it doesn’t upset snowflakes.

Tell me honestly, are you reading up at some blog about the Rothschilds. If you are, I beg you, literally beg you to stop as it always ends up at “Jew watch” and become just like Bird.

This blog started out really well, then as Bird trashed the other one, a few of the usual suspects dribbled in, slumped into the settees and decided that “New Catallaxy” had to have all the same stupid crap as old Catallaxy, and they continued on as if the old one had not been abandoned by it’s owner as events globally prove his libertarian fantasies to be the deluded crap they always were.

What are you arguing squire?

To fight to retain our liberties, the default position should be; liberty is bad? That will truly give us liberty?

To Newspeakian for me. You’re meant to learn from modern Chinese history, not imitate it.

Can you us how “recent events” (???) at all show us that Nozick, Rand, Mill, Freidman were all wrong?

In other news, the tap water in Port Mac is so highly chlorinated I can smell it.

Seems to be a Perth thing at the moment, too.

Got any empty demineralised water or cordial bottles? If you fill them up from your sink and let them sit for a couple of hours with the lid off, the chloride ions seem to settle sufficently to make it drinkable. Also gives the tapwater time enough to cool down as well… 🙂

I take it the Furniture Store had neither time nor patience for your Faulty-esque rantings, and you felt you had to try for a different audience then?

You are a libertarian.
As such you have certain priorities and beliefs that I don’t share.
In other words, the world we want to arrive at is different.
That’s fine.
Accept it. If you want to know what I want and what I believe, I reckon in the many comments and posts I have made over the years it’s all there.

Don’t buy into this crap and save yourself.

Banks are particualrly unique entities because they are highly leveraged and as Dot once eloquently described it, they are uniquely vulnerable to sudden changes in inflation expectations.

Industrial companies may have perhaps 25% of their working capital as debt. Tech companies almost zero. Banks are perhaps around 12 to 1 leveraged. That is 12 dollars of debt to one of equity. They can go broke very easily relatively speaking.

Telling people to “research it yourself” is not discussion tactic that achieves a helluva lot.

For a stark example of how effective this lazy tactic is, try using it in a formal team-debate.
Pro-tip: For the least damage to your case, use this trick only when you’re the third speaker on the rebuttal team.

The US government does have the controlling interesting by far. The government owns nearly all the stock and dictates everything about the place. The government controls the board by approving all board members including the chair.

We’re All In This Together News (the Hun):

Disgraced MP Tim Smith has left Melbourne and gone overseas, as the Liberal Party prepares for a potentially damaging by-election in his Kew electorate.

The Saturday Herald Sun has confirmed Mr Smith, who hasn’t been seen publicly since a trainwreck press conference this month, has quietly slipped out of town.

Senior Liberals confirmed Mr Smith was overseas and say he is in Britain, where he has a large professional and social network.
