The #ChugLyfe stops for no-one…
…Unless the next signal is Danger.
Weren’t the Solomon Islanders disarmed the last time “peacekeepers “ went there? How remarkably prescient of someone.
Yep, removed most privately owned firearms plus made a very concerted effort to locate and dispose of WWII era ordnance and any WWII era weapons that might be able to be recommissioned.
Another article in the Age apparently putting pressure on the Victorian government to name a date
“But of particular concern has been the government’s reluctance to reveal the point at which the rules will be relaxed.
On this, in fact, Premier Daniel Andrews has been frustratingly opaque.”
They’ve noticed
Restrictions on unvaccinated should end sooner not later, at The Age
Leunig red pilled? That’s taken a while.
Dan has watched too many Star Wars movies. “I have altered the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
The farce is definitely with him.
Global Warming is so versatile!
Hard on the heels of Sydney’s coldest start to December in 50 years comes news of a mid-Pacific storm warning for Hawaii, one which might deposit snow on the high peak.
If The Age is going to run a story like that, they should include some of the latest facts about the vaccines and their effectiveness.
The comments section indicates that it’s sorely needed.
That’s the problem for a ‘newspaper’ which routinely lies to its readership. When the winds inevitably change (and it appears they have), not only does it need to change the direction of it’s stories, it’s got to drag the massive momentum of it’s brainwashed customers with it. No easy task; much like turning the Titanic.
When even The Age can sense the changing winds, you know change is imminent. The protests have had an effect and have commenced an avalanche that Dan may not survive. The forced vaccinated won’t forget, and the religious vaccine boosters won’t forgive him when he puts the dirty ‘unvaxxed’ next to them in cafes.
A vaguely amusing predicament. After scaring the shit shit out of people, that fear is going to be turned on him, when he’s forced to capitulate.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who’s the tabloidiest of them all?
News dot com dot au takes the prize. One journo mate says “ they are a bunch of kids”. It can be amusing or disturbing to scroll through their headlines.
Global warming that requires we get rid of all non-renewable power sources just in time for a white Christmas in Australia. You know it makes sense.
It was so cold last night I had to switch on the electric blanket.
“News dot com dot au takes the prize. One journo mate says “ they are a bunch of kids”. It can be amusing or disturbing to scroll through their headlines.”
They are indeed a bunch of kids…..but news.com.au is a window into modern journalism or “activism” as it should be called. These kiddy activists have not been trained to research and cough up facts, they’ve been trained to vomit up progressive bile.

Top o’ the mornin’, Cats! Are we going to get summer or what?
Two years ago the whole place was on fire and our PM’s wind vane was set to panic and deflect because the press was mean to him. He lost all vestiges of leadership then and there.
And now, here we are, “safe” and sound, and a marginalised laughing stock for a world that has passed us by.
Japan has officially acknowledged the mRNA clot shots cause myocarditis etc.
The twitter and yahoo feeds have exploded with rage. The people are NOT happy.
My guess is Japan will ban the mRNA clot shot from the massive backlash.
Cruise ship, 3000 passengers, all fully jabbed required … has China Flu outbreak.
Unjabbed blamed … (yes, I made that bit up)

Loved Leak. Mr 43% indeed. What a little man he is, what a small, mean mind.
I read Credlin’s column in the dead tree Tele yesterday, about the history of the Parliament Christmas tree and its history. Little prankster Albo and his “gifts”.
Robert Graves, in his Clavdivs books, opined that no Caesar would ever pass on the title to a better man lest the newcomer made the incumbent look bad. We’ve watched that happen in both major parties. If Morrison is a lump of mouldable putty, Albo will be a cheap tart capable of any act of bastardy provided the peanut gallery roars in approval.
Hobson’s choice.
Whoops. Should have proof read. I blame the new iPad set up and keyboard.
The mongrel thing wanted my credit card details for “Apple Pay”. Took me a while to work out how to dismiss the stupid thing. It just gets worse and worse.
I think the Age was swayed to produce this editorial less by large protests and more by the cost and inconvenience to thousands of ‘non essential’ businesses and volunteer groups who are incurring additional expense and nuisance doing the government’s policing and annoying many of their customers and members, as they are individually stopped from entering stores to have their status checked.
They are also looking at NSW which has a firm date, the 15th and saying ?.
I think most people now realise the unvaxxed are only a danger to themselves and the vaxxed can spread the virus as easily as the unvaxxed.
Dan will only be influenced by the effect vagueness has on his polling.
Noted that both Andrews and Perrottet have stated omicron will have no impact on their decisions.
On the top comments, translated:
Eh? What’s wrong now?
What do you do with the caution?
What can you do for someone who has myocarditis?
The one who is in trouble is the person who had a hard time after the shot, and it is negative in terms of medical expenses, time, health, so it is not good to just talk and look at the data. you know.
I’ve been silently killed because I was told that it wasn’t a side reaction, but can people who have been silently killed up to now be listed as numbers?
silently killed
Any link for that story about Japan?
Use google translte if needed.
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c737f540fd3ae5a6b170ceb80770c5e1906adb3f
Remember,
Japan is a country that stopped giving Gardasil to the kids because of as handful of side reactions. (I didn’t give it to mine either).
This announcement that they are forcing all doctors to report myocarditis cases is probably going to explode on the world stage as the Japanese will not bullshit the data.
Nearly swerved off the road laughing yesterday when I heard Albo quoted as declaring the blue team as ‘ideological and opportunistic’.
That said, I was infuriated when Hunt came on declaring that the ‘childrens vax’ was ‘safe and effective’ and ‘good for children and the nation’. Lying POS.
The protests are showing the businesses how unpopular the policies they are enforcing, actually are. People are refusing to show passports to either shop, or participate as volunteers. This is all part and parcel of the protests. Businesses know they are damaging their reputations, as well as losing significant business. The cost of physical compliance is minor compared with the cumulative effects of this.
You can stop checking ‘passports’ today, and the minor expense of enforcement stops immediately. Lost reputation is ongoing, and will eventually cost them infinitely more. They know this. The protests have told them.
Well hopefully not before the new year. I’m enjoying my excuse for not being able to go into the office.
The Hunchback’s vax economy is working very well for me. LOL the jokes on him!
And even if that scum bag does open up, I will not use any business that banned us in the first place as punishment for not pushing back. They didnt want my money then, they dont get my money now.
Yep. My mates who have the clot shot simply refuse to go to places that you need to show your ‘papers’.
They got it for protection, not for implementation of fascism. This I support.
“I read Credlin’s column in the dead tree Tele yesterday, about the history of the Parliament Christmas tree and its history. Little prankster Albo and his “gifts”.”
I refused to read Credlin’s piece. I feel quite embittered towards her (and Abbott), to me she represents everything wrong with the Liberal Party. I believe she bears some responsibility for the grotesque imbroglio that this country finds itself in. I suspect her micro management of Abbott led to unrest and dismay within the party and we ended up with the events of September 2015. Perhaps I’m wrong and perhaps I’m too harsh. The other day I caught a a few minutes of her on Sky and she being all virtuous about how Abbott refused to make political capital out of the Shorten allegation back in 2014….stating that Abbott said that it was a police matter. I laughed out loud. Yes Peta…and wasn’t that a mistake. A big fucking mistake. When fighting the left, there’s no room for virtuosity, you have to get down and you have to get dirty.
The top response to that Japanese article was this one with 1580 people rating it helpful.
I’m not convinced that the take way is an ‘explosion of rage’.
“The report of increased myocarditis is the mRNA vaccine of Moderna and Pfizer, not the vector vaccine such as AstraZeneca. Inflammation of the heart muscle causes chest pain, abnormal electrocardiogramUsually, the test value of CPK, which is derived from the heart, goes up. However, most of them are mild and spontaneously relieve. It is common in relatively young men and often occurs about 4 days after the second vaccination, so if you have chest pain in such cases, it is advisable to consult with a doctor. Even if you are diagnosed, taking an anti-inflammatory analgesic that you often use will cure you naturally. Myocarditis sounds scary, but it is more common to cause the virus infection itself, and it also occurs in corona. When caused by a viral infection itself, it is prone to severe myocarditis and is often life-threatening. Vaccines are recommended because the frequency of myocarditis in vaccines is very low, and vaccination clearly outweighs the risk of vaccination, including the sequelae of corona infections, even at a young age. Relative judgment is important.”
The comments are 95% negative to the clot shot. The Japanese will read the article as more reason NOT to get the clot shot.
Trust me, I lived in Japan for many years. This will NOT go down well.
I’m not convinced that the many objections to the intrusive nature of compliance checks were caused by the protests.
Both appear to be different manifestations of people’s fedupness with constant interference by government.
I spoke at some length with one of my fanofdan brothers yesterday, a small business owner heavily affected by lockdowns, and he too thinks the time has passed for passports and mandates.
I wonder about that, Mater.
What happened to VW, Bayer, Siemens, Hugo Boss and even IBM? Still around and going strong.
I’m not convinced that the big corporates will suffer one iota. The smaller, boutique businesses…maybe. But memory is short.
I’m at a loss as to why Japanese people did not already know this.
Not sure if this has been posted the conservative treehouse.
Monologue from Neil Oliver plus few of them many of us. Don’t give up.
Most people see the hand of government behind the passport enforcement.
Potential 100,000 dollar fines for not checking.
Any business that maintains a vaccine passport regime voluntarily when government requirement ceases, is another thing.
Will be interesting to see if, in nsw post 15 December, any businesses maintain a passport regime.
taken awhile but I think I’m starting to understand old age .. LOL!

China gave us Covid and Africa will give us the antidote thanks to a huge population of unvaccinated people who brewed up Omicron.
It’s going to be endlessly entertaining to hear the experts now tell us that we should spread it around to wipe out delta.
To do anything else would merely confirm they are under political control or financial incentive from big pharma.
‘Oh What a Lovely Pandemic’
I know it’s impossible, but if every single person and business refused to comply we would already be 100% free and the Hunchback a distant bad memory.
Tomorrow’s headlines in Japan,
Sudden mysterious early retirement of Japanese Prime Minister.
Health issues cited.
Anti-semitism was not rare in Europe. Frankly, it’s not rare now.
The difference is, for example, that my brother and I are nearly identical. We share DNA. The only difference between he and I is a mandated shot in the arm. He’s expected to treat me differently.
The large German corporations got away with it for two reasons:
1. The driving need to rebuild Germany in the face of the Communist threat, and
2. The discrimination was race based, not family against family.
There are plenty of believers who would have us relegated to inferior status indefinitely, but it’s not 90%, it’s not 80%, it’s not 70%, and I doubt it’s even 60%.
40% is a lot of custom and reputation to rebuild, especially if there turns out to be alternatives in the longer term.
I got turned away from Officeworks for trying to buy IT equipment essential for my employment (from home). They can get fucked moving forward. They could easily categorise themselves as essential, as I think they indeed are. They have chosen to go this way, just as much as the government may have encouraged them.
Plenty of online IT and stationery suppliers.
The Pope and the BBC agree that all those African and ME “migrants” have to be given compassion aka open borders because their own countries are shite, and it’s no surprise they want to migrate.
Given that their cultures made it so, why should the west take in people who then insist on having their own culture and habits implanted here, there, and everywhere?
The left will say our culture is not that good, and will ignore the fact that the left has worked for the best part of a century to degrade it.
Yep, Officeworks ran a good business based off convenience and high contribution margins, but they’re on the get fucked list too.
Righties have screwed themselves. Anyone does anything is an “activist” and they don’t wanna be seen dead being an activist.
Whereas the left gets even casual left NPC voters repeating their bullshit propaganda off of Facebook and Channel 7/9, ABC etc.
Don’t be ashamed for not buying P&G and not buying from Officejerks.
You are literally shaming them. You’re not an activist. You’re simply a citizen making a good choice.

Officeworks is a subsidiary of Kmart & part of Wesfarmers .. Wesfarmers, like Woolworths, worked out where their profits are best served and whole-heartedly support all gummint, state & Federal mandates involving BAT FLU apartheid policies ……

Mr Ed
The message is that The Tudgester is a sleaze and he’s not the only one.
Given that the Liars and the Slime seem to operate a permanent game of musical beds, that statement applies more to them than to the eternally stupid Lieborals.
I wasn’t viewing those companies through the lens of anti-semitism, Mater, but collaboration.
Race/religion has morphed into vaxx status. It was bound to happen, some here have commented on its cult-like qualities. Makes sense because there was a vacuum in our culture that was once filled with religious belief.
There is no wreckage to rebuild from here except the damage to millions of lives through lockdowns and other psychological tactics to enforce dependency. That dependency will remain in the vast majority and slowly but surely as other screws are turned find expression in many of the holdouts. Hatred and resistance take effort and time – it’s so much easier to comply and get on with life albeit a reduced one. I think you’ll find the vaxx rage will follow the stages of grief for most people.
Don’t get me wrong – I want resistance and backlash. I watch Neil Oliver and respond with the same anger and passion. I sit here typing with unkempt and unruly hair because I want to physically identify with those denied the service of hairdressers. A paltry virtue signal, but there it is. But these things are unsustainable for many.
There is something in that – the comment that the media are more influenced by inconvenience to nonessential business than by large rolling protests.
Won’t do to analyse that ‘something’.
Rosie, it’s a losing battle.
The longer it goes, the more the evidence stacks up.
Hasty concoctions that are failing every benchmark.
Good luck when the triple shot are due for booster two and still following zee orders.

Western Australia should delay reopening its state borders until children aged between five and 11 are fully-vaccinated, a top doctor has warned.
Australian Medical Association WA president Mark Duncan-Smith said he was happy to hold off reopening the border as planned in late January.
He argued it would be better to wait several more weeks, claiming it would be ‘child abuse’ to reopen before children were fully-vaccinated.
Wow, what a retard.
I know comments that pound the fists in rage and denounce our oppressors will be more “liked” than those that view our situation and a possible future through a different lens.
That’s okay.
Right now I’m trying to envisage what my world will look like when the 5+ enjabbening starts. That will be all my grandchildren bar one. As I don’t have physical custody of those children they will be inoculated, and there isn’t a thing I can do about it.
Wait until next footy season. When fat kids with Pfizer start running around, then we will really know if it is safe.
Hey dover, what prompted you to choose “Massacre of the Innocents” for the banner?
Just some irrational whim?
If Australia’s arts community weren’t a bunch of Fucking Marxists, they would be doing a sequel to The Castle called The Prison.
Australia as it is, not as we imagined it:
Daryl has to put down most of us greyhound’s because there’s no such thing as greyhound racing anymore.
Dale digs a hole in the backyard and cops a worksafe fine because he didn’t lodge a dial before you dig.
Daryl fined for unapproved modifications to a building, installation of faux chimney.
Daryl fined on Lake Bonnie Doone for: No boat license, no fishing license, no life jackets.
Daryl meets the QC outside of the court, quick assessment of case, na, yer fucked, this is Australia.
Older brother does 15 years in the slammer for the Lithgow.22. No firearm license, unregistered firearm, threats with a weapon.
After brother gets out of prison, Kerrigan Towing never gets up because VicRoads and Worksafe have never seen a tilt tray before and can’t work out if it’s safe or not.
Kerrigan’s get brutally evicted at midnight by the SOG at midnight. Remaining greyhounds get shot, somehow. Minimal compensation.
Dale does 5 years in prison for assault and resisting arrest following the SOG eviction.
Riff this! What else would happen to The Kerrigans in Real Australia?

I’ve got 4 grandees in the+5 thru 11 age group .. 2 still under 5 .. the 2 over 12 have both been jabbed and all of my kids (parents) have embraced the full load of gummint instructions/mandates to date with relish .. in fact I have little doubt that if we’d been around for 1930s Nazi Germany my son would have denounced me without a second thought for subversive thoughts ….
Well, remember the discussion about Cats who have never had Coca Cola?
… I have never watched The Castle.
Calli,
Your points are great and not at all wrong. In fact, you may very well be right, but can businesses run that risk? Perception becomes reality, and the perception is being shaped by the protests, and the ever weakening case for mandates and passports.
Businesses were never stopped from putting up a sign above the government supplied ones saying; “We don’t agree with it, but…”
Moving forward (phrasing), I’ll judge people, police and businesses on how much they relished the current situation.
No more rissoles.
They will eat bugs caught sustainably from the fields of Bonnie Doon.
I wonder if it’s time to protest outside the abc offices with the focus being that the media begin to represent and discuss the views of parents and grandparents and doctors who oppose unnecessary jabbing especially of children.

Yep the lemmings just believe everything the government and their media tell them. They bought into the fear campaign without even bothering to check the facts. (Not including those who felt forced to take the vax to keep jobs, see loved ones.)
Wont stop the mass hysteria.
Excellent book review of an excellent book – h/t Spiked:
For young readers, Dunleavy was Australian, a former editor of the Daily Telegraph, and was sent to the US by Murdoch to kick ass in the old fashioned way. He did, and became a legend.

We’ll, they had to put a foot in one camp or another.
I’ll continue to support any that lent towards non-discrimination. I would have thought that was an uncontroversial position, and certainly a defendable one.
Looking back on history, what constantly looks better.
The PR people in these corporations dropped the ball. The truth is, the corporations had the power to sway Dan, they chose not to. These are the same corporations who now see hundreds of thousands of people March past their stores in the Melbourne CBD. So…getting back to the original contention, the protests are (without a doubt) having an effect on Dan’s decision making. Both directly, and indirectly.
Sunday Talks, NBC Proclaims Omicron Has Merged With Common Cold Virus to Create New Mutant Super Spreader Variant, Requiring New Super Duper Booster
December 5, 2021 | Sundance
This morning’s first abomination from the totally objective TheirABC:

It’ll turn out that “Omicron” started elsewhere … Europe probably. Africa is being scapegoated. And watch this … it may even turn out that “Omicron” is nothing new. Same old Delta or whatever. And one more … it’s going to be used as an excuse for the breakthrough infections / reinfections as the vaxxines fail.
[Note that the acknowledge that Omicron is supposedly Vaxx resistant, yet they still want to pump the same old shit into peoples veins. Why? LOL – probably to give them time to re-print the vaxx labels, saying something like “New Improved, two for price of one!” and stick tick them on the billions of bottles now sitting in warehouses]

A defence source said: “It was a solid shot round. It was a chunky, pointed lump of lead designed to rip through a tank’s armour.
Someone needs a new ‘defence source’.
Inconvenient fact – Aboriginal empowerment is highly correlative to percentage of indigenous heritage.
I say this because it is so unsaid that it must be considered racist to consider any difference in aboriginalty despite clear and obvious evidence that whiter aborigines are far more privileged than darker aborigines. Undoubtedly any Aboriginal place in parliament will be dominated by people largely indistinguishable from everyone else in parliament.
On the back of Steve Dunleavy and his book (which I will most definitely obtain) being mentioned upthread- this is the intro to a piece in the NT News this morning:

Reads like the Mills & Boon thread of the gay forum our Heston was outed on.
Er, I’ve heard…
Dunleavy, they don’t make ’em like that anymore, more’s the pity. Here’s an example, one of many, of the smarts to which young newshounds once aspired:
It’s the late Seventies, Rupert has just bought the NY Post from classic Upper West Side liberal Dorothy Schiff and is busy transforming a paper that, as the joke went, would report the end of the world as ‘Jews and Negroes Suffer Most’. Rupert was shifting the focus somewhat: ‘End of the World, Michael Jackson Dead Too’, and to this end he had flown in a bunch of Fleet Streeters, Australians and Kiwis, Dunleavy first of all, as Rupert had launched supermarket tabloid STAR a little earlier and needed reporters who could figure out how to get pics of Elvis in his coffin. Steve did that by buying a bunch of cameras from local hock shops and handing them out to kin and other approved mourners waiting in line. ‘Keep the camera. Just give me the film’. He got the King in his box and that edition sold 16 million copies.
Anyway, Steve gets transferred to the Post just as Son of Sam is scaring the beejus out of New York. Sam’s also writing you-won’t-stop-me-killing letters to Daily News bigshot Jimmy Breslin. One night a girl gets shot in the head by Sam but survives and is in hospital. The press gang swarms the corridors and is laying siege to the IU unit.
Steve sees the mob, goes back downstairs to the basement laundry, where he gets a white coat and rides back up the IU waiting room.
“You are a disgrace!” he tells the hacks as the elevator door opens. “A young woman is fighting for her life, her family are distraught and here you are baying for blood in a house of healing.”
Looking directly at Breslin, Steve tells him he’s the biggest disgrace of all because he’s a revered senior hand and should be setting an example.
Breslin says, “I’m sorry, DOCTOR”. He then leads the pack back to the ground floor lobby, leaving Steve to talk the nurse into letting him interview the parents, who take him in to see their daughter, who is conscious and talking.
Steve gets the scoop and the Post sells a million+ copies.
It doesn’t end there. Jealous of the letters Breslin is getting from Sam, Steve sits down and writes a ‘Sam letter’ to himself. This so infuriates Sam that he drops corresponding with Breslin and writes exclusively to Steve thereafter.
Years later, I encounter Breslin at the Bernie Goetz trial, sidle over and tell him how much I’ve admired his columns (which was true, although not later, when his wits faded). He doesn’t even turn, just says out of the side of his mouth, “Your Australian. F*** off kid and don’t come back.”
Steve could make quite the lasting impression.
Were Steve to be reincarnated in a modern newsroom he’d be fired in 30 seconds. And that’s what is wrong with modern journalism.
Its organisation into regional rather than national offices virtually guarantees the impairment of its functions, although some might aver that’s a feature not a bug.
Let’s pause for a moment of reflection.
Our Australia, that is the “let’s jump over the fence for a game of backyard cricket” Australia, has concentration camps!
Inmate victims delivered to those camps by gestapo thugs without any degree of due process are, when eventually released, required to pay the cost of their incarceration!
Someone must be made to pay for this desecration of history’s most benign of all cultures.
Sadly, freedom’s return will be at least two generations into the future.
What if Omicrom “is a product of the vaccination. Irrespective of the vaccines peculiarities that do not prevent infection transmission or death (and could create new variants ) we should know at the daily roll call of Covid cases and deaths the names and numbers of the vaccines that have not done what a vaccine is supposed to do.
What if Omicrom “is a product of the vaccination”.
This is a distinct possibility.
Pre-COVID the philosophy with any “leaky” vaccine was to utilise very sparingly. Each infection introduced the potential for a mutation which could then in turn be passed on.
Noosa’s tourist strip, Hastings Street, has a resident albino scrub turkey who is now a minor celebratory.
Unfortunately our turkey is displaying disturbing tendencies towards white supremacy.
With an overly developed sense of property rights our boy regularly beats up fellow Hastings Street resident turkeys who are, of course, black.
You know the rest. I kid you not. It has been said. Insanity.
Depleted Uranus shells.
Gold!
#2: Our Australia forces an experimental “vaccine” on it’s population and punishes non-compliers with loss of freedoms and jobs. Then – and this is the part I thought I’d never see in our wonderful country – it invites immigrants to come in and take those same jobs.
A shocking betrayal of Australians by their traitorous governments.
Wesfarmers (and many retail ‘giants’) are trying to go to the Amazon model, they don’t want people going into their expensive low-profit retail stores but to start buying on their low-overhead high profit online stores so they can shut down their brick and mortar stores and go to central distribution centres and delivery drivers. This is their long term plan, woolworths is well underway.
This all works to that benefit and should be viewed through that lense, they have been handed a captive trial market to help that ‘transition’ and don’t doubt that they’re implicitly or explicitly making use and encouraging all this.
Yep, I just checked, he’s complicit in the greatest ever headline.
Miranda Devine is keeping up the great tradition with some ripper stories in the NYP lately. And her new book, oh mama. I hope she high tails it back to Australia before she gets Arkancided.
And NYP is also keeping up the tradition too:
Headless body falls out of cannibal’s car after crash (NYP, 28 Nov)
Another marvelous headline! Woke newspapers have become so boring.
Our politicians may be venal and traitorous but spare a thought for the people of Barbados, who’ve just had their country stolen from them by what amounts to a political coup – they’ve been declared a republic without even a referendum!
KD writes: “‘30 new cadets … will rotate through the NT News and get formal on the job training.’”
Thirty kids for ALL the News Corp comics! Almost half that number used to be hired by just one News masthead. The Herald and Sun-Pic intake for 1973.
Thing is, they were cheap to hire and run and could be sent to do shitty but essential jobs, like covering late night council meetings and 8pm to 4am police rounds shifts.
These days? The new hires do churnalism and spend their days rewriting press releases.
Gone. All gone.
Is there a vaccine for mediocrity at ten-pin bowling?
Bruce,
that is an excellent clip. It should also be played via MSM, ad nauseum every time some shmuck starts screaming “why didn’t the Police shoot him in the leg, instead of his chest???? waaaaaaaaaa”.
The pins were static targets, the guys were obviously experienced and had a decent amount of time to aim and shoot. They still missed heaps. A poor copper with a deranged and armed lunatic roaring towards him has NO TIME to line up, aim and shoot.
Chuckle. Which one are you areff? I’m hazarding a guess..the one with the head tilt and cheeky grin.
Oh…that’s all of them.
Herald Sun carrying a poll showing 40% of voters support a minor party or undecided. Anyone that is surprised by this is an idiot. It also confirms that the protests have broad community support.
Family are trying to buy me a copy of Rowan Dean’s latest book, ‘The Canberry Tales’. Completely sold out. Come on Rowan, get those presses printing again; I want a copy for Christmas.
Calli, nope. The head-tilter is Bruce Guthrie. Second from the right in the back row is a far more handsome specimen (and so remains)
Yep. Every single vax’d person I know is filthy with massive gov overreach.
Bruce of Newcastle,
Miranda can stay exactly where she is. No amount of arse licking is going to make up for her betrayal of we ordinary Ozzies by her carrying water for Trumble. She abused the rank and file and named us al neocons, amongst other names, because we couldn’t see what she saw in her saintly Master.
Stay where you are bitch.
Pogria, you’re only as good as your last story — and Miranda’s latest brings quite a bit of redemption.
redemption is unavailable for journos.
this is Kanly she can go find another planet.
It’s a fool or dickhead, see also Baka
Quite right. I like a serious man who doesn’t give anything away.
Easier to plot the destruction of one’s enemies. And rehearse excellent pick up lines.
This is why we have preferential voting…to even out the impact of such anomalies.
I caught a snippet of arvo 3AW on Saturday that has these blokey twats that talk tough but are weak as piss, morally and intellectually. They were opining about the protests and saying enough was enough, talk of dictators was nonsense as families weren’t being rounded up and shot as would occur in NK (I kid you not), and that we just should settle down and get on with things. Hard to believe how disconnected these people are from the general population.
Polls are one thing, sadly election time will be another.
In South Australia, before the last state election the polls showed Nick Xenophon and his party would get as much as 30% of the vote. Xenophon might even be state premier!
They got a microscopic number of votes, no seats and the party ceased to exist.
We’d had 16 years of Labor (they won only a single election, gerrymander and “independent” rural candidates gifted Labor the rest)
People were sick of Labor and when the time came they reverted to familiar habits and went for either Lib or Lab.
I sincerely hope that Vics get rid of Andrews and his fascist scum, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
So, here’s the TGA boss Dr Skerrit, on why kids 5-11 should be vaccinated.
#1 reason is not their health, not even someone else’s health, its government regulations.
Twostix – that is strange. We went into Officeworks in Bathurst a week ago & were not stopped – just did QR.
Can someone explain what’s wrong with Officeworks? I went there on Sunday to buy some crap and there was no issue. I didn’t QR and because I saw everyone wearing a stupid mask I asked if it was necessary to wear one. The dude said it was strongly advised and offered me a free one. No biggie. I wasn’t asked anything about the jab.
Just a quick glance through the results of council elections – lots of independents prevailing plus Labor doing well, Greens not so much.
My shire is neck and neck Ind and Lab for mayor, Ind looks like carrying council positions. This ward voted overwhelmingly Lib, being elderly and frightened and grateful to Scomo for keeping them “safe”. Blech.
That was from the ABC to date, counting still underway from what I could gather.
There is nothing for federal LNP to be pleased about.
That was Grubby and and ex-HS gossip columnist Luke Dennehy. I heard the same thing … ‘time to move on’ … ‘they’ve made their point etc’. Which was better tha four weeks ago, when Dennehy, a brewed-in-the-wood dill, was all brimstone about the protests being tinfoil-hatted extremist white supremacists Nazi ratbags.
Virginia Trioli was providing more of the same this morning on 774: Even though every second store in the CBD is empty after Dan’s lockdowns put them out of business and only 7% of office desks are occupied, Trioli’s producers had lined up a mob of surviving traders who were blaming the protests for ruining their businesses by scaring off strolling shoppers.
More of the same let-me-blow-Dan-again bullshit from the ABC
Daily Tele – once upon a time we used to lock these people BEFORE they killed others:
An elderly woman with a walking frame has been stabbed to death on her way home from the shops in what police allege was a frenzied, random attack in Sydney’s south.
Police allege the 67-year-old woman was walking along Roosevelt Ave, Riverwood at about 7.20pm on Sunday, when she was set upon by a man with a knife.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and found the woman with multiple stab wounds to her torso and back. Despite paramedics’ best efforts, she died at the scene.
A short time later, a 24-year-old man was arrested at a nearby home on Kentucky Rd, Riverwood, where a crime scene has been established.
The man’s sister has spoken of her heartache, saying he wasn’t taking his medication for schitzophrenia at the time.
“He’s a sweet kid, we don’t know what to do without him,” she said.
“I don’t believe he would do this”
Spotlight required a vaxx passport. Dead to me.
All clubs require them. Some restaurants ask.
I had someone huffily tell me that a restaurant they went to didn’t ask, so she went all Karen on them and demanded that they ask. My response was, why didn’t you just leave and go to a place where you felt safe?
Blank look.
“No jab? No gigs” being wheeled out in QLD to target the hitherto reluctant youngsters.
It appears my Japanese needs work.
There are some very entertaining books by ex journo Hugh Lunn.Hugh had a mate who was incredibly strong and afraid of nothing till he met Dunleavy.I cant recall exactly what the book said but teh gist was that Hugh’s mate decided Dunleavy was dangerous and not to be trifled with.
Daily Tele – once upon a time we used to lock these people BEFORE they killed others
That’s because they don’t want to impact their freedom and liberty, whilst they destroy everyone else’s freedom and liberty.
The ruling class are completely out of their minds.
“No jab? No gigs” being wheeled out in QLD to target the hitherto reluctant youngsters.
Policy driven not by science but fucking you at every opportunity.
Pure spite.
Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.
TheirABC:
Where’s that fucking asteroid?
Shaun is XY.
It may be a trite example, but cutting people off from ordinary life in this manner and using that as a threat to coerce people to receive the jab likely contravenes international law. That will have to be tested, of course, and when the hysteria settles I hope it is. We’ve already seen politicians and health bureaucrats overseas apologising for lockdowns. Given that these types are mainly motivated by saving their own skins I think they’ve sniffed the wind and gotten a sense of what may be coming. Their especially dim Australian counterparts will be the last ones to experience such “pangs of conscience.”
Sweet kid with mental illness. Where have I heard that one before? Oh, that would be here:
Syrian Muslim Who Killed 10 Americans in Supermarket Gets Off Due to “Mental Illness” (Daniel Greenfield, 5 Dec)
Mustn’t’ve been taking his medication.
“… claiming it would be ‘child abuse’ to reopen before children were fully-vaccinated. “
Adverse event for kids getting vaxxed: 1 per 1,000
Adverse events for COVID for kids: 1 per 174,000
Florida: no vax mandate, no mask mandate for schools, schools open whole time. No more CV19 cases for kids than any other state, no higher incidence of CV-19 in schoolteachers than rest of adult population.
Clearly, it’s only 174 times more dangerous for kids to get jabbed than catch COVID, so yeah, sure it’s child abuse to NOT vax ’em. Clearly. </sarc>
Omicron.
We can safely assume the saving variant of the Spanish Flu was mild but highly infectious as it all but wiped out the killer strain within months around a world that was very insular compared to now.
Any kiddies that get it will be shielded for life, not a just months as with the jab.
Amazing that the current crop of epidemiologists don’t know history or choose to ignore it.
There was nothing “dangerous” about Steve, who weighed about 9 stone wringing wet and stood 5’6″ if you didn’t count the bodgie pompadour and stacked heels. He didn’t talk tough and he didn’t act tough — it was just that he had this unique ability to meet people and have them love him straight away. In part this was because he was trustworthy; his word was his bond.
As to being tough, my ex beat the crap out of him one morning when we came home at 5am full as boots and I decided it would be a good idea to introduce him to my newborn son. Ex woke up, saw a stranger holding her baby and went berserk. Ended up chasing him down the hallway and into the elevator.
He sent her flowers later that day, apologised and suggested she take up prize fighting
Given that these types are mainly motivated by saving their own skins I think they’ve sniffed the wind and gotten a sense of what may be coming.
I hope the Australian Mongs keep pushing. That way we get to do a proper clean out, something much more than them quitting politics “to spend time with family”.
Speaking of pangs of conscience, the ‘Kill the Bill’ peititon with 125 000 + signatures has been delivered to VIC Governor Linda Dessau. Is she going to rubber stamp the Bill or stand on her sworn duty to preserve the Constitution & rule of law in the state?
Is this what is called a rhetorical question?

Was that his White Russian mate?

Roger, this is Australia! You know how it works! No one does their duty!
I could explain that further, but I want to be invited to the Aldi bag raffle.
I’m certainly not holding out any great hopes – if she couldn’t be trusted to do the right thing by Labor they wouldn’t have insatlled her – but that’s a luxury I have by virtue of not living in Victoria.
I imagine the 125 000 + who signed it and many more like minded souls down there feel differently.
“Heroine fights off baby snatcher!”
Funny farm story:
Talking to Dad this morning, what are you doing? Just hooked up the harvester (drag along Horwood Bagshaw). You’re not going to get the contract bloke? Na, you’re sister wants to, reckons I’m to old, but I’m going to do it!
Oh, shit, bugger, hell, crap, oh no?!!!
What’s wrong?!
You know how I take the V belt off the knife drive? Yep?! Well the tow bars threaded through the bloody thing! Now I have to unhook the whole thing and get it off the tow bar!! Maybe I am to old for this?!
Laughing emoji!
Was that his White Russian mate?
The mad Ruski — forget his name — who worked for the Tele and would vanish for days on end into the fleshy bowels of the Cross?
If it’s the same bloke, he was famous for getting on the wrong side of a small, very small, but pugnacious Tele reporter (no real name, he’s still alive) known in the newsroom as the Angry Ant. When their feud spilled over into the office, the Russian picked up the Ant and hung by his leather jacket from a coat hook.
Couple of days later, the Ant is stuck in traffic on the Cross main drag, sees the Russian on a stool inside a bar. So he leaves his car idling in the middle of the street, runs into the bar and king hits the Russian, who falls off the stool, bangs his head and ends up concussed in the ER at St Vincent’s.
Alas, they don’t teach that stuff in J-schools.
I hope not!
Who’ll man the barricades?
(That’s rhetorical, ASIO, OK?)
I gave the Little Bloke a go on a Mini Lathe yesterday, faced off the end of a bit of Rod and turned down the diameter in 5 thou increments.
High concentration and very careful counting of the cross slide dial increments to ensure that he hit 5 for each pass.
Also immediate appreciation that leaving the Chuck key in would be really bad!
This morning was rewarded with an illustrated story of what we did. He said he was going to give it to his teacher.
Worksafe visit imminent!
He’s a gem.
My Dad took his similar rig up to the local mechanic to get it checked out before harvest. While standing behind the tractor, he reached over the seat to turn on the power takeoff. The spinning uni joint caught his trousers and munched the back of his knee.
As he lay on the ambulance trolley about to be loaded and taken away, my Mum there, he pulled out a scratchie from his pocket and gave it to Mum. He had won $1000. “Do you reckon this will help with the hospital bill?”
My heart breaks, I wish he were still here to tell these stories in front of, and embarrass.
Something different for me. But a tractor PTO at 1500rpm it doesn’t matter.
I escaped without a mark.
One of the many things that have strengthened my belief in God.
Wow. God be thanked.
Some are doing it not because they want to but because they’re afraid of the fine. One coffee shop I go to stopped asking for the vaccine certificate and we went there several times and then the last time the owner said that someone had recognised me and knew that I wasn’t vaxxed and threatened to to report him for a fine of $5,000. Much as I resent it, I fully understand that a cup of coffee is not worth that. It’s the malice of someone behaving like that that really gets my goat.
Welcome to the normalisation phase.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Cabinet members openly push for former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian to run in Warringah
I read this earlier this morning on Business Insider. Shirley not I thought.
“Let’s just accept the new normal and get on with things”.
“What’s the new normal?”
“A compliance license to leave your house and participate in society, exile and ruin if you don’t have one, total surveillance of your movement fed into vast big data systems that cross check your compliance behaviour and locations, and being permantently under the government’s thumb and at its direct command whenever it chooses to imprison, jab, prod or poke you and your family”

Escaping a PTO shaft is absolutely a miracle.
