No-one is obliged to prove a negative. If someone says it didn’t happen, they’re entitled to claim that there’s zero evidence. They don’t have to produce “zero evidence”. It’s then up to you to produce evidence. But you never can.

With reference to my original post re twitter, there must be a pipeline of Biden related images that they plan on stopping.

Look at the neck fat in Wally’s post.
First rule of COVID: Don’t be obese.
Second rule of COVID: DON’T BE OBESE.
Yet, strangely, all the ads on TV encouraging us to eat well and not be obese seem to have disappeared, replaced by ads encouraging a vax that doesn’t protect the vaxxed against the illness, and doesn’t prevent the vaxxed from spreading the illness.
It’s almost as if health “experts” are unable to keep more than one thought in their heads at a time.
why would Jill Dempsey ‘s vaccination status be controversial? She obviously had an overlay thingy on her Facebook picture with ‘fully vaccinated ‘ . See the pic at the daily mail link.
“A shame, really- A spate of spontaneous outbreaks of patriotism and civic-mindedness would be a side effect I think everyone might appreciate…”

The article also talks about the necessity for Victoria to have measures in place to be able to interact with other regions, the same old line that seems to work for us needing to go with Net Zero, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…
Can we not just take responsibility for our own location, letting others make stupid decisions as they wish? Those in charge hate that approach, of course.
Fascinating how rapid and on point a fully vaccinated fatty nurse dying from covid is converted to pro jab propaganda.
“Otherwise healthy” was deliberately used to describe her. Then we see the photo and learn why they specially inserted that.
See how quickly the establishment class come on message. When one of them dies of covid everyone of them knows exactly what to say, to lie, and to not say, without even being told.
And that is not a coincidence.

And judging by my daughter’s experience the girls are much worse than the boys, and that was in a top private school. And then there are the teachers…
I have seen the photo borders people have used on Fakebook which read along the lines of “I distrust authority – and I am vaccinated”.
It actually begs a series of q1uestions, the answer to which is overwhelmingly that they have done something contrary to what they like to think about themselves.
Despite the smiling faces I can’t help thinking that their fear overcame their convictions of these self-styled moral colossi.
To be fair I also think their convictions retreat like toddlers at the beach when the water washes up toward them, when something might impact prices of things they like, or allows the great unwashed access to their salubrious suburbs, or treats them with the same with the same disdain they are happy to heap on others.
It is not that they hate authority, but they have in mind a very particular one. The Green tyranny with which they will be in good standing. Then they will be happy for everyone else to submit.
On another site which allows debate on covid as a subsidiary topic to its main focus, I posted one of Tom’s Toons – the “vaccines don’t work” elephant in the room with Fauci.
The mods deleted it as being “not appropriate”.
A small setback but immaterial as they still allow me to quote statistics and argue the case against mandatory vaccines, lockdowns, and government over-reach.
It’s a wonderful site but still is stumbling over adherence to the narrative.
The New Political Variant: Africa Is Nothing More Than A PR Opportunity For the West
Janet Albrechtsen has a article over at the Oz about “wages equality”:
Is the Morrison government brave enough to use its announced review of the Workplace Gender Equality Act to abolish this derailed agency, or at minimum fundamentally rein in its powers and purpose? It’s a big ask from a government that runs shy of reforming government-funded social engineers.
It seems that the advocated of “wage equality” want equality of outcomes. You can see where this will lead.
Logically therefore, in this brave new world, a woman who decides to have six children will get the same money – say, over 20 years – as a woman who has had one.
Speaking of top private schools – what the heck was KK’s son doing going into the police force after graduating from Joeys?
Surely his and her contacts would have placed him in stockbroking, finance, management consulting etc etc.
(emoji-fu fail. Imagine smiley face)
It’s always been like that. But the main driver is the parents attitude. The missus and I are pretty conservative, and the kids seem to be also, at this stage. Even if they go off track at Uni, eventually they come back as they get older. More so now as the left become absolutely nuts and are eating their own.
Breaking news:
Multiple people have escaped from the Howard Springs quarantine facility overnight, Northern Territory police have confirmed.
A large police presence descended around the facility on Wednesday morning to undertake a widespread search in the hopes of tracking down the missing people.
It is unclear how many people have escaped, but it has sparked fears the Omicron variant could spread into the Northern Territory community, after public health officials announced a returning traveller tested positive for the new variant on Monday.
The man in his 30s had arrived on November 25 from Johannesburg and had been transported to the facility for isolation.
Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services told NCA Newswire the operation was ongoing and head checks were underway.
The number of individuals involved in the escape has yet to be confirmed.
The incident is the second time in a week that a returned traveller has escaped from quarantine at Howard Springs. Just last week a 27-year-old male allegedly absconded from the facility and was later found by police on Darwin’s main strip.
In January, a 33-year old woman scaled the fence and walked off but was located by police within 15 minutes.

One of the more infuriating dollops of nonsense from warmies has always been the assumption that people involved in or in part funded by the fossil fuel industry must be by nature mercenary and by deed lying. They are in it for the money.
No consideration of the possibility that they are doing what they do because they have discovered AGW’s assumptions or predictions are flawed and there is therefore no sin in association with the fossil fuel industry.
But more significantly overlooking other self-serving motivations that humans can be lured by.
Some people just have an appetite for making other people do what they want. They don’t care if they are right. They just have that tyrannical streak.
At the universities there is competition for money. There is also patronage, position, the sudden prominence after years of obscurity, having the naive seek you out and hanging on your every word, right down to good old job security.
Besides, having identified so closely with the cause for, say 10 years, you cannot easily step away. Your last good work was 10 years ago. And in the intervening decade you put about shit. Your prospects would be thin on the ground to say the least.
Warmies are awful people. At one point that had the choice of listening to both sides of the argument and making up their minds, or making up their minds first and only listening to one side of the argument. They opted for the latter. And how did they decide which side? Can’t be by the as yet unheard argument. Some other urge chose one over the other. Whenever they preach warmism it is to satisfy that urge that they will not admit to.
I only have a beam in my eye.

Not much fun treatable.
Bruce, for better service, why don’t you say to them you are live-blogging the treatment as you go?
You should at least get some amusing and interesting reactions.
There are parasites on society who feed on it so greedily and with so little rumination on the consequences of their gluttony that they are killing the host – they just act as if it will be able to feed them forever.
Every regulation that pushes anyone but the best qualified to job (for lack of melanin, of lady parts, or even in these QWERTY soaked days, lack of mental issues, etc) does so at the expense of the additional benefit the best choice would have delivered over the second, the third etc. This might seem not much but through regulation it is repeated everywhere and everywhen. Nationwide. It infiltrates every level where third-rate people administer third-rate people to engage with third-rate people to deliver far worse than third-rate products.
And I am not just being nasty about ‘third rate’. The people being advocated are not the second best choice. Not the ones who got 97% on their final exams nudging a 98% out of the way. These people are being promoted for irrelevancies. And they will be mostly people who are content to play ‘the game’, to trade on their sex (not in the Weinstein way of course) or what nation their parents fled. Think of two woman engineers applying for the same job. The first just pushes her resume. The other pushes her resume but then talks about how the company should employ a woman, about how this will play into certain causes, and the company will be credited for their hiring policies. Which one do you think will win the job? For these third raters doing the job well is of secondary importance.
Then there is the credentialism which freezes in place and elevates a single set of procedures, and replaces performance on a vital task with performance on a standardised test designed so it can be easily tabulated and results published.
Add the sclerotic industrial practices which prevent innovation and efficiency.
And more regulation where mole-blind bureaucrats are alerted to some misconduct, somewhere, by someone, setting new rules binding on everyone, where to avoid a 1% abuse of a practice the 99% judicious use is put out of bounds. So clumsy and unfamiliar with the reality on the ground are they. Risk of throwing the baby out with the bath water? Meh, throw the baby and we don’t have to think about the bathwater tomorrow, or ever again!
All of these are sucking the life out of the economy to the point it cannot replace what it is losing.
But all the parasites see are their own mouthparts and all they feel is the sweet blood. Sure in a bliss that will last forever.

The reinstatement of a senior health manager accused of calling his staff names like “vinegar tits” and playing a game rating women on whether he’d “root or boot” them shows the Palaszczuk Government is paying “lip service” only to victims of sexual harassment, the Opposition says.
Opposition frontbencher Amanda Camm called for the Health Minister to personally sack the man, or go herself following fury from complainants who felt they had not been listened to in reporting allegations of bullying and harassment.

The Courier-Mail revealed last week the Metro North senior manager had been reinstated in a senior role at the state’s biggest public hospital district.
It followed a year-long investigation, sparked when 11 women complained of a toxic culture in which people were allegedly berated in meetings, had things thrown at them, were forced to eat lunch with him, were asked to rate the “hotness” of others and were chastised for “conspiring” just for speaking to colleagues.

The Morrison Government has finally tabled the sitting calendar for parliament in 2022. Between now and August 9 next year there are a total of 10 sitting days.
This is the laziest, most secretive, most untrustworthy and incompetent government in Australian history. #auspol
He’s right you know.
Usually, I would say “Good”, because when the Parliament is not sitting, it is dot doing damage. However, our current rulers have shown that they will oppress us without the bother of actually debating laws to do so.
The DNA lab that couldn’t:
A pioneer of Australian DNA testing has revealed the serious and systemic failures she saw at Queensland’s government-run laboratory, and called for an independent inquiry involving international experts.
Speaking from the US on Tuesday, Professor Angela van Daal told of her significant concerns about the lab’s handling of cases spanning almost two decades.
Dr van Daal said she raised the concerns with the lab’s then-director, offering her expertise to fix the problems, and was stunned when nothing appeared to be done.
In one instance in 2004, the lab found no DNA in a vaginal sample taken in a rape case, she said. At a minimum, it should have contained the alleged victim’s DNA.
“I’ve reviewed a fairly significant number of cases around Australia and here in the US, and I can’t recall another case where I’ve come across that problem,” she said.
“There needs to be a significant review of the practices of the laboratory, the training, the quality of the work that’s being produced.
“It needs to be done by probably people outside of the Australian forensic environment – it’s quite an incestuous environment.”
She was speaking for an upcoming episode of Shandee’s Story, the investigative podcast series trying to establish why the vicious stabbing murder of 23-year-old Shandee Blackburn in Queensland in February 2013 remains unsolved.
Dr van Daal said the major problems in the lab had continued when she was reviewing cases around 2013 when Blackburn was attacked just 100m from her home in Mackay.
Forensic scientist Kirsty Wright has discovered during investigations for the podcast with The Australian’s Hedley Thomas a litany of serious errors and problems in the lab may have allowed Blackburn’s killer to evade justice.
These include the lab being unable to detect DNA in a fresh pool of blood, or trace DNA of the main suspect in his own car, or any DNA from a sample from Blackburn’s forearm that should have contained many hundreds of her own skin cells.

When we have reason to present to emergency, the first question is public or private? For some things the public option has no option but to get cracking immediately so can be okay, but for others it may be worth going private, even if they want to swipe your credit card first.
The bigger picture is that as little as possible should be ceded to government in all things. We’ve ignored that for perhaps some 150 years and our is now coming to bite us.
Were any vampires or extraterrestrials involved?

All the best, and keep the faith.
Quite the assumption there, deadhead.
Morrison has given his premier capo’s the green light to do as they wish from now until next May.
Federal parliament – the people’s parliament, won’t sit he’s promised them – no more uncomfortable media moments of Hanson, etc making a fuss and trying to make him do his job.
Fine. Alone then.

Usually, I would say “Good”, because when the Parliament is not sitting, it is dot doing damage.
We all share your exasperation, but lashing out at individual Cat posters so unconnected would seem counter productive.

That’s a very big “OOOOPs from me, and apologies to Dot. It should have been “not doing”.
Typical response from rabid leftard Labor voting fuckwit.
The Vic Greens are moving today for inquiry to identify the threat posed by neo-Nazis, white supremacists, far-right elements and anti-vaxxers.
Labor will back it, of course. What of Matthew Guy’s Liberals?
By my book, it’s even-money bet the Liberals will back it too, rather than be accused of encouraging garage Nazism.
This will be fun!
UK competition watchdog orders Facebook to sell off Giphy (30 Nov)
Okaaay, the Pommy bureaucracy has decided they want to block a US company from acquiring another US company because they’ve insufficiently kowtowed to faceless Pommy bureaucrats.
Yep, sure to work.
Much as I dislike the Chook, in this case I hope they’ll reply to the UK regulators with a single fingered salute GIF.
We desperately need an inquiry into poltergeists, apparitions and UFOs. If the US can assign a whole department to look for UFOs we should too. And squirrels. Chasing squirrels is really important also, they harbour all sorts of diseases.
Pandemic bill goes back to the lower house in Vic. Greens crowing about getting lower fines for concession holders and disadvantaged. Sure 10% is a discount, but on 20K that means fuck all.
About the only good thing I can see amended was getting rid of the aggravated offence and the 90K fine/jail time. Authorized officers can still enter your property without a warrant, there’s still next to no accountability, and the government repeatedly admitted they don’t know what they’re doing in administering the bloody thing.
Oh, I suppose there was the tacit admission that any member of Labor swears an oath to always vote the party line.
It still remains a “Emperor Dan” piece of legislation. So heartily hacked off right now.
Still on tiny gurney in isolation waiting to be admitted. It’s now 10 hrs 30 minutes since I presented last night.
Do you have pants on? They normally try to add to the frustration and indignity as much as possible!
Yes – and just one more reason I will not be voting Lib/Nats, Labor or Greenslime at the next State Election, IF we actually have one.
Authorized officers can still enter your property without a warrant
They can try to….
Parliaments abolished, ultra secret “National Cabinet” running the country from behind closed doors via dictator leaders with individual supreme power and clearly never intending to go back to the way things were.
Nothing to see here, no geopolitical angle, no historic angle, no nothing. Just get your jabby wabby and watch the fwooty.
Sco Mo destroys the federal Parliament as the new government is the communist central committee known as the national cabinet.
The Vic Greens are moving today for inquiry to identify the threat posed by neo-Nazis, white supremacists, far-right elements and anti-vaxxers.
Isn’t the level of threat self evident if government has spent two years completely fucking people and nothing has happened?
And while I’m here I’ll confirm a hypothesis much discussed this morning, concerning whales.
Allergic conditions linked to lower COVID-19 infection risk (MedXpress, 30 Nov)
Yup, whales are indeed prone to bad Covid.
Interesting that allergies tend to be protective. That’s plausible. If you’ve seen electron micrographs of pollen some look very like Covid-19 virus particles. Spikey balls. So perhaps there’s a cross-protection due to the immune system hyped to find and kill spikey pollen which also catches and kills spikey Chinese bioweapons.
Poor underpaid, overworked wharfies…….

Greens Leader Samantha Ratnam wants the Legal and Social Issues Committee to investigate far-right extremists and their links to anti-vaccination groups.
It’s beyond time that Nazi Avi Yemini was subjected to some real scrutiny.”
And that far-right white supremacist Rushkan.
From the can’t believe my luck .. file! .. 2nd puncture in 3 weeks .. following the 12 kms walk home from Yennora Railway Station 3 weeks ago in a storm .. Today, just past Miller TAFE on Hoxton Park Road and duuuuh! … Sooooo, this time about 20kms home, thankfully, NO rain just overcast & muggy ..
The only good thing to come out of this, getting to regular, strolling habit is that at 73, and just 4 weeks short of 74, I can still trundle fair-ish distances without too much effort .. must be all that practice … pedalling … LOL!
Which allows me to introduce what is fast becoming my personal anthem …….

Just riffing:
For the last twenty years the entire political class – particularly the ‘faceless men’ that run the parties, have lived the high life gorging on Chinese provided largess and perks, from small: free lunches and holidays, to large: property and money all the way up to their positions in society, and more.
All they had to do was let Chinese influence into Australia via opening up the investment markets and universities. Nothing major.
Now the Chinese are calling in the favours from everyone.
How much of last century was the west’s foreign policy dedicated to preventing shitty low population countries from becoming de facto soviet satellite puppet states via their corrupt governing classes.
Sex discrimination commissioner finds gender inequality key driver of toxic culture in federal parliament
She’s probably quite right in this instance – but, then, a sex discrimination commissioner could be relied on to find gender inequality to be the fault in a car crash.
But lost in the small print:
Parliament would be about the last Australian workplace to provide bar service during working hours – and apparently zero restrictions on people being on site, influencing the Nation under the influence of piss.
WH&S Rules for Us not Them:
• No grog on site.
• If you have a drink off-site for ‘social reasons’, you go home – absence noted.
• Random drug and alcohol testing at the door: one fail = counselling; second fail = up the road.
No doubt Britnee would agree with this…
take some spare tubes and tyre levers.. flats are inevitable with wet weather.
Rand Paul responds to Anthony Fauci’s ‘I represent science’ declaration
And among those who had atopic disease and asthma, the risk was even lower: 38%.
I get bad hay fever and used to have extremely bad asthma as a kid.
Gosh, criticising Marxist-Leninist MUA wukkas, who make snails look fast and public servants look poorly paid, is divisive? I am speechless. How terrible! They must strike in immediate outrage!! When was Christmas again? Next month? Wow, is that a coincidence or what?
Of course.
Watching a Danish series called The Rain. Scary that this was made well pre covid but the premise, language and actions totally mirror the lies and scaremongering that’s going on with covid.
It’s just anxiety.

A friend pointed out today that after 24hours of debate, they were at equivalent to a BAC of 0.1%, twice the legal limit. They’re basically legislating drunk even without alcohol.
Claire Lehmann is losing it in real time. She never departed from the principal positions of ‘the Cathedral’ and the current brouhaha over the response to COVID manifested that perfectly.
“Labor will back it, of course. What of Matthew Guy’s Liberals?
By my book, it’s even-money bet the Liberals will back it too, rather than be accused of encouraging garage Nazism.”
You know, if the Victorian Liberals and their leader, Groundhog Guy, had any balls….which of course they don’t….they would call Ratnam’s bluff and agree on the condition that any proposed investigation and inquiry also looks into far-left and Islamist groups…such as Socialist Unity, Antifa and Hizbut Tahrir.
But we know that won’t happen.
I fear that the government and 80% of the sheep can remain psychotic longer than I can remain solvent.
I think I’ll wait till the election before making the final decision to leave the country for good.
Walked past the protesters on the steps of the Victoriastan parliament about two hours ago. About 40 or so scattered about. A loud siren going continuously to remind the traitors inside of their guilt. Gave them thanks and encouragement. Well done them. Will now check for updates on the progress of this crap Bill. Now checked in to the hotel room while Mrs M S undergoes eye surgery this arvo. Beer o’clock!
take some spare tubes and tyre levers.. flats are inevitable with wet weather.
Carrying all the paraphanalia, spanners, levers, spare, pump, ect … just adds weight & I ride, almost, everyday.. realistically, I expect it too happen, maybe, once a year NOT twice in three weeks .. duuuuh!
Debate has finished. The bill goes back to the lower house for a vote and then back up to the upper house tomorrow.
Shatterzzz – Paper staples and bindies aren’t your friends. Don’t ride near schools since the roads get bits of paper staples on them from the endless use of the things, which are shed by the garbage trucks when the skip bins get collected. I worked this out after many many punctures.
And Chinese tubes are so thin these days that bindi-eyes can go right through tyres and tubes. So I use a one size up tube and avoid riding on grass.
Bugger! Garage machine shop capacity down 50%, snapped a belt on one of the mini lathes!
Materials orders inbound to address shortages. Bunnings search engine clearly designed by Pfizer. It doesn’t work….
I’m sure its nothing
No doubt Britnee would agree with this…
Considering Britnee should never have been admitted into the building at that time of night regardless of her condition or intent there seems to be a lot of taxpayer money being spent on enquiries that do nothing to lock staff who shouldn’t be there out ..
There should be NO alcohol in Parliament House anyway! .. It’s a place o, supposed, WORK not leisure .. contrary to, majority, opinion .. LOL!
For those who luv choo choos .. bit of nostalgia .. LOL!

The Greens are concerned as they are loosing some of their constituents to the UAP. Craig Kelly said that some former Greens have joined the UAP, probably due to its anti-mandatory vaccine policy. The anti-vaxxers, the “true” anti-vaccine people (not just those opposed to the non-vaxxs presently on offer), were typically associated with the Greens.
Use the old trick.
The thing is, us freedom fighters, cannot be pigeon holed into a single group. We are from all walks of life.
Anecdote from QLD (this is real). A whole doctors surgery has closed down until further notice as 12 staff refused the clot shot.
Don’t you vaxers understand? We must ALL band together and REFUSE all mandates and coercion. We must take back the country! You might agree at the moment, but just wait till they bring out something you DONT agree with. What will you do then?
Try tyre liners.
Cycling the Brisbane river loop on the shittest of road surfaces I was getting a flat about once a month. None for the past 12 months since installing cheapy polyurethane liners – about $20 for 2.
(Still carry gas+tube+levers. Total weight ~200gms)
FMD Bruce, you are doing it tough. Don’t flop around feeling sorry for yourself, get well soon!
