You should’ve done your own homework instead of being so frightened of being labelled anything other than a level headed middle of the road guy. Your concern for your social standing may have sent you to an early grave, and other people as well.
Man oh man. Look what you people have done.
You’ve turned St.Ruth into srr.
That sounds like the ‘evidence’ put forward for all of the slavery that was going on in Australia. It’s all ‘so and so’s wife’s father used to own slaves’ and ‘such and such inherited money made from Carribean slave plantations’. And then a bunch of stuff that’s already common knowledge, like Aboriginals and some racial groups were treated badly (hint: they were actually SLAVES! Join the dots, sheeple!!1!).
I knew you would not be able to help yourself, un-man.
The personal is political with you. You are still pretending at victory after one unrelated question from Tel seemed to validate all your screechy name calling and unfounded assertions.

After all, who fled the Cat in a huff for several weeks after screechily proclaiming victory? It wasn’t me.

She’d paid with her Myki at the student concession rate and then Frau Pork decided to check her credentials.
The daughter had left her concession card in her other purse but had her student ID with her and her licence to back it up.
The crazy old bag went full Stasi, yelled at her and said she would write up a report and fine her.
Our daughter was upset and angry as we were. My wife is dearly hoping the fine comes so she can get to work on the cow.

There was a convict who died as a teenager, he was convicted as an infant. He was sentenced to servitude on Norfolk island before he turned 12. He was seven at his conviction and nine when transported.
There are records going back to the 1840s of forced labour of Pacific Islanders in the NSW sheep districts.
QLD annexed East Papua for the Crown.
Blackbirding skirted awfully close to slavery. Mission homes might have saved Aborigines from being wretches but they didn’t have a “right to work”.
The convict system was slavery. Convicts were rented out to free settlers. There is a possibility ancient Aborigines practiced slavery (but we will never know).
Slavery is definitely part of our past and every ethnic group suffered under it.
As for now…we have forced medical experiments.

Always interesting when the real world intrudes on the conceit of the lefty elites. This article is fun in what it doesn’t have in it.
Best of last year: The top Phys.org articles of 2021 (14 Dec)
There are 25 articles in the “best of” list, which I’d guess are the top 25 most read ones.
Not a single climate article.
Not a single bat crud article.
Not one wokeness article.
Since you clearly want to read what makes a popular science article, I’d say from the list the many astronomy ones stand out as the most popular. But science readers do like an occasional biology report too, like this one:
Yup, you guessed it. Men literally think with both their brains and their balls.
What governments should have done:
“We have this experimental treatment for COVID that we can give to old and at-risk people. Unfortunately it wears off pretty quickly, has some nasty side effects, and they’ll have to have jabs 3-4 times a year for the next few years until the virus goes through mutations in society and becomes weaker”.
What they did instead:
“Every man woman and child must take this preventative treatment that we’re going to lying lie and relabel as a vaccine because 54 billion dollars, and ideology and power and you better know who’s boss….and we’re going to destroy entire societies to make all that happen”.
Yet none of it conclusively says we will all be dead in 18 to 48 months.
as others have pointed out, this is because the lemming mongs are rushing to test.
The positive rate is about 1% (800 in 86k): https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/stay-safe/data-and-statistics#toc-nsw-covid-19-datasets

So the ABC Party has declared their candidates for the election at the completion of a 12 month political conspiracy abetted by Morrisson.
He allowed his AG to be torn down by a conspiracy so transparently unsustainable and corrupt that even the courts identified ABC malfeasance. Morrisson did nothing. The chief conspirator was the ABC but the knife wielder is now an election candidate. No conspiracy there – no no no.
When honest (well marginally) Senators sought an enquiry into ABC accountability, Morrisson directed his people to vote with the marxist left in order to protect the Bra Ads Editor from scrutiny of her criminally negligent Chairmanship of the Soviet.
When a drunken tart fell asleep in PH, Morrisson permitted the ABC to prosecute the outlandish argument that it was somehow his responsibility. Compounding the stupidity by permitting the HRC resident man hater to conduct a sham enquiry and table an off the shelf report saying that it was all the LNP’s fault.
And finally we have a ‘squad’ of candidates comprising rich bitch ditsesses; recent and serving ABC employees, with recent and serving ABC administrative and publicity personnel as campaign managers; and arts troughers; who have already received more publicity than the Minor Parties have over years. ABC publicity supporting the Squad will be intense because they have no fear of the Government.
“How could bloody Morrisson have allowed this to happen” is a stupid question.
Every one of the ABC Party candidates is Crony in Chief approved. Their election will lead to a bonanza for the Photios/Turnbull cronies without any of the messy constraints associated with having to deal with a democratic party, even one as corrupt and incompetent as the LNP.
Convince me that they won’t hold the balance of power post election.
And currently they are at 93% jabbed. Gee, I wonder would could be the cause of these increasing cases?
One of the things I most despise about the Australian activist left is their utter lack of original thought. They simply rip off whatever leftist activist fad that’s prevalent in the US and artlessly tweak it so it’s superficially relevant in the Australian context.
An example is this attempt to add slavery to the many crimes of the European settlers of the continent is an example. The resuscitation of the long-dormant Aboriginal deaths in custody issue to give Australian BLM poseurs an outrage to rally around is another.
Sometimes they don’t even bother to make any adjustments at all to the latest imported US leftist outrage, such as the claim that there is a rape epidemic on AUSTRALIAN university campuses! Slight problem with this – FAR fewer Australian students live on campus or in university dormitories. So where are all these rapes taking place? In stairwells? In empty lecture halls? During lectures? In quiet parts of the library? Supposedly it’s like a Liberian civil war in terms of the mass rape occurring at Australian universities, yet no one there seems to notice this going on around them.
Embarrassingly bad and stupid.
Pity no one took video of it.
So, Vic Stalin has found a scam even better than Belt and Road and once again Morrisson is doing nothing.
Moderna produces poison batches in Victoria. When Labor wins the election Moderna is the only approved poison and its use will be compulsory.

Yep. The more we vaccinate and the more we test, the more virus appears.
Beats me.
And finally we have a ‘squad’ of candidates comprising rich bitch ditsesses; recent and serving ABC employees, with recent and serving ABC administrative and publicity personnel as campaign managers; and arts troughers; who have already received more publicity than the Minor Parties have over years. ABC publicity supporting the Squad will be intense because they have no fear of the Government.
Funny how these “concerned independents” all lean to their ABCcessess talking points.

You’re not winning anyone over doing this struth. You’re just not achieving anything.
Not speaking for anyone else here, or anywhere. It’s the exact equivalent of claiming that sea levels will rise 100 metres in our lifetime, with an expectation that everyone will be so shocked they’ll get on board. It’s just stupid.

Heres an example from the article of some of the world class “ScIEnCE!!!” behind the restrictions.
Queensland Chief Health Officer John Gerrard warned the venue mandate was here to stay.
‘It’s not fair on the vaccinated to ask them to make sacrifices for the very small number of people who have not become vaccinated,’ he said.
Overall 82.03 per cent of eligible Queenslanders are fully vaccinated and 88.61 per cent have had one dose.
So its just coercion, nil science at all.
No that’s considered racist these days. And also waaaay to hard for teachers.
In permanent coalition with the The Project party.
The idea that the vaccinated are making a noble sacrifice for the unvaccinated is laughable. Unless you are a CHO obviously.
back from a wander around the local shopping centre seeing its been near 6 months since I could go into Big W, Kmart ect …… 90% of shoppers still masked & lotza folks QR-ing …. Unbelievable!
Who’s asking vaccinated to make sacrifices for anyone? Why does anyone have to “make sacrifices”? Who is holding the gun?
Oh yes. This guy is holding the gun.

Fun facts revealed by a close read of the directive:
1/. Not all my (hospitality) staff are required to be vaccinated.
2/. No all (in fact most) of my customers are required to be vaccinated.
Quick hands up among some industry colleagues, few knew this.
Some, upon learning this, declared “bugger it, too hard to sort this out, no vax, no job, no entry! Keep it simple!”
No. We follow the law, & no extra. (I can speak only for myself)
The restrictions have been brutal enough, I’m certainly not going to create any more restrictions off my own bat.
In statements like this we see the sinister hand of behavioural psychology being used to manipulate the population. Why is not being vaccinated unfair to the vaccinated, and how does preventing the unvaccinated from going to restaurants redress this injustice? Also, what sacrifice has one made merely by being vaccinated?

Whenever they want to trivialise the procedure, it’s a jab.
Notice whenever they want to dial up the pressure on the non-compliant, they don’t talk about jabs. zOMG so so so many sacrifices being made by the vaccinated – how they suffer due to the selfish and dangerous unvaccinated population!
As in advertising, education, traffic control, and all manner of attempts to control the population. It’s not new, it has been done for decades.

Yes, but it has never been used in such a brazen and weaponised fashion. The UK is probably the worst – behavioural psychologists are deeply embedded in government policymaking and implementation. Their disregard for basic human needs is so casual that it verges on psychopathic. Goebbels would have loved to have been able to draw upon such demonic expertise.
They both have connotations of sodomy.
As to why people QR code.
Doing so authenticates existence at several levels. For instance, one is both an ontological event in the coding as well as deserving of being considered responsible, worthwhile, good and noble.
I am reminded of ordinary people reporting to the Stasi on a weekly basis. Dobbing made people feel important, worthwhile, real, because someone would actually listen to them for an hour or so as they betrayed their neighbours. There was no need for the stasi to threaten or bribe. Seems people always kept their appointments to dob.
So without denigrating those who QR code, there may be something missing which coding satisfies. Which might say a lot about us as a society.
A “sacrifice” implies a cost, usually a personal one. The inoculations are free, they don’t particularly hurt at the time of enstabbening, they are supposedly “safe and effective” and take a few minutes to deliber.
Where exactly is the “cost”? What exactly is the “sacrifice”?
Using the word embeds and nurtures something already in the subconscious – this thing might actually harm me. I do not trust the government. There is something deeply wrong here.
So they dress it up in the tawdry rags of “sacrifice” and the “public good” to paper over those little cracks in confidence. And meanwhile another seed is sown and watered – resentment against those who have refused.
This is all a deep and dark wickedness that cries out to heaven. It was tried 80-odd years ago and they’re flirting with it again.

In less than 24 hours Dr Gerrard goes from “I give purely medical advice” to opining on the political issue of what is “fair” in the current context.
I didn’t think a penal colony using convict labour to build some still standing bridges, public buildings and monuments was a form of slavery; was controversial at all.
White slaves, all manner of Christians, one Jew, many men, some women and even children, one under the age of ten.
Furthermore I didn’t think blackbirding as a historical fact was controversial at all either. Taken against your will to become an unfree labourer.
Doesn’t sound like non-slavery to me.
The correct terminology is “stabbed”.
‘This’ doesn’t begin to describe the majestic this-ness of this.
I agree.
How about “shot”?

WMA DECLARATION OF HELSINKI – ETHICAL PRINCIPLES FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS

Shops this morning, about half of the punters weren’t wearing masks, maybe one in ten was QRing. No papers pleases at any of the shops. I was proud of Lake Mac bogans! On the other hand the queue of cars to get to the crud testing station was 3 km long, with another 2 km tail back on the main road leading to it. O omicron! Where for art thou omicron?
That and more DOT. Recently a friend told me how she was doing some consultancy work for a start up group and paid several thousand dollars each for two reports that are mostly data sets arising from various surveys, marketing etc. The amount of information available on how people are thinking is very surprising to me. It’s out there somewhere but until I spoke to my friend I didn’t realise how valuable that information is. The group is forking out nearly 20,000 dollars just for 2 reports, though keep in mind those reports represent the collation of hundreds of investigations. Knowing what people will respond too is the first step in controlling behavior. Skinner and Co helped but not that much because rats and pigeons are not us, I suspect Bernays and was more valuable back then but now it is a whole new ballgame.

I don’t see masks anywhere, only the occasional person doing the check in thing. Qld is presently like that. Soon to change. With the border opening and all those nasty southerners spreading the bug arriving this morning I trundled off to the doctor for a vax and just to let them know I am still alive(haven’t seen him in 12 months). Waiting list into next year for the vax, same with the adjacent chemist. Didn’t bother. I am very surprised by the waiting list because vax rates are already above 80% in my region so I thought it would be a walk in, get vaxxed, and walk out event.

On the chemistry, I’ve not looked at Adblue but I assume it is primarily used to remove NOx from the exhaust stream:
4 NH2CONH2 + 6 NO2 ? 8 H2O + 4 CO2 + 7 N2
I accidentally did this once with nitrous acid, it ate ammonium ions quantitatively. Which was bad since we didn’t want that to happen. Oh well, another idea into the bin.

Where are the big societal customs that signal a person is now a man / woman and not a child any longer?
In Australia there are very few. Where they exist it’s closely guarded inside the wealthy classes and private schools who still do stuff like that. Many people stumble from childish highly regulated school yard to childish highly regulated school-yard-like workplace. “Schoolies” becomes a social ‘custom’ ending childhood and starting adulthood for many – a degenerate state sanctioned drug fueled but somehow daycare like highly regulated orgy.

A board game manufacturer has been left ‘mortified’ after a spelling error was spotted on the newly released Monopoly Hobart edition.
Local resident Peter Dragolic spotted the blunder after recently purchasing the game while on a family trip to Bruny Island, taking to Twitter to express his dismay.
“I have just purchased a #monopoly #Hobart edition for my kids (and me) and was shocked how #HasbroGaming could afford this spelling mistake of Mount Wellington #kunanyi not kunyani” he said.
Disappointed with the purchase Mr Dragolic told the Mercury he expected more from a manufacturer with such a global reputation.
“When you decide to make a game where you come across of such an interesting and unique names, Aboriginal names, I would make sure I get it right,” he said.
“Our family has a huge respect to Aboriginal history and culture and to be honest, this incorrect spelling of kunanyi doesn’t sit well with me. The mountain has a great significance among Aboriginal people and the misspelling should be corrected as soon as possible.”

“We have very recently been made aware of a spelling error on the 2nd brown square of some of the boards in the game, due to human error,” Mr Dragicevic told the Mercury.
“We have a team of fact checkers, and we do everything we can to ensure this does not happen. We apologise profusely and are swiftly working with our production factory to print new boards of the correct version,”
“If anyone finds this error on their board and wishes to replace it, please contact [email protected] and we will arrange for a new board to be sent out to replace the piece within their game.”

But as angwy as our very own discount Derp Newton gets when we remind him just who he thinks runs Batertown…
Why would I be upset? Even eminent “scientists” posting here frequently quote Zero Cred as being next to the Bible. Eminent and soon to be Nobel Prize winners.
Schiff is a one hit wonder imbecile who ought to remain silent. He claims to have predicted the GFC but on closer reflection he’s a Austrian economics devotee. Some of these people see a recession every couple of minutes. Schiff has been predicting recessions every day since he picked up and read Human Action. Austrian economics is terrific but it’s very weak in understanding monetary economics.
Here’s the big problem for Schiff and why he’s a doofus. Let’s take at his word that inflation as measured by previous measures used for the CPI is currently running at 15%. The latest headline CPI was ~6.8%. Schiff is therefore saying inflation is being “understated” by 15-6.8% = 8.2%. Really?
How does Schiff explain the bond market’s response that in say the past 20 years bond yields in the 10 year duration has been consistently below the Schiff calculated inflation rate for the same couple of decade? In other words , he’s not only wrong but he’s a fucking moron.
What we have is some inflation, and a very tight labor market in the US causing wages to rise. The wage increases are not the result of this so-called inflation, but is a problem standing on it’s own as labor is short.
Higher prices are due to a supply shock and therefore can be categorized as a change in relative prices.
Higher prices for both wages and goods & services is an indicator signaling they need to producer more and attract more workers into the labor market as demand has bunched up.
Did I say Schiff is a fucking moron?
You will go broke listening to those imbeciles at Zero Cred. Stop reading stupid shit on the web.
So you would know that someone, without a written language, would probably have several spellings for the same feature?
Me. I do. I’m not accepting your word that legislation will be required. Either way, the trucks will be running in February.
I don’t refer to it as the “GFC” JC. I call it, more accurately, the Trans-pacific global crisis.
Erm…aren’t we making a mountain out of a mole hill here?
Lysander, it was actually the North Atlantic shit show and that’s how it ought to be referred.
Ah yes, I stand corrected 🙂
HoFart?
The disclaimers have to be signed and witnessed, and a mandatory “observe the patient post-stabenning” to make sure they aren’t dead already, record the batch numbers for the legals . Print off the certificates for the client.
All up it is going to take a while, if you want to keep the insurance premiums down.
SARS-CoV-2 protein interacts with Parkinson’s protein, promotes amyloid formation
This will need follow up. If it turns out to be true in humans that is a serious concern because Parkinson’s disease already has increasing prevalence, the reasons for which remain mysterious. It looks like Alzheimer’s is declining and there is no obvious explanation for that either.
As God is my witness, I read the beginning of that as having “huge respect for the Aboriginal industry…”
Still, now I know there is a market for Smelling Salts – Hobart Edition.
How pure does the urea in the AdBlue need to be? I’ve got visions of guys being invited to take a leak directly into the tank filler.
Mos Burger Teriyaki burger – ought to be the holotype of its species. Every other teriyaki burger could be defined by starting at Mos’ and then listing its imperfections.
You watch, they’ll introduce a permit (which will cost) so a truck can be modified to run without it.
Another “pay, to break the law” government rip off.
Putting any ammonia nitrate in water is a chilly affair.
We used to mix it in a spray tank to be used as a foliar fertiliser. The more put in the colder the brew got and you could freeze the pump and pipes.
Better known as racketeering.
We need anti-racketeering laws so we can put these pollies in gaol.
Moment of frustration courtesy of the CCP. Programming the lathe to cut a thread, all the dimensions look good but no matter what the nut wouldn’t go on. CCP had shipped me some LH thread nuts….
Without legislation, truck owners will be unlikely to void the warranty on their truck & possibly breach their loan conditions, by disabling Adblue.
Unless the tricky part about manufacturer’s warranty is unambiguously cleared up, there’ll be problems.
Denial is a mountain in the USA (lame geography joke). I like to think “kunyani” means “it’s yer finger, dickhead” in dialect after some whitey pointed to the mountain and asked “what do you call this?”
I want that fact checked with a primary source.
Anyone got a paperbark dictionary? Anyone?
And why, exactly are we using Greco/Roman letters for indigenous names anyway?
I call that gross cultural appropriation.
You Road Warriors need to learn to do what we dirty Communist Koala railway types do, and leave your powerplants running unless you have to do major maintenance work on them.
It’s not like the fuel station will explode when you fuel up with motor running…
I’ve been trying to ween myself off doing this and completely understand the criticism, but when you’re constantly referring to injections in post, first, second, third, what have you, the shorthand makes it easier. I will endeavor to stop it.
Oh god.

That has been mentioned.
Fortunately us steely thewed salt of the earth renegades in the mining industry don’t generally have the adblue in the mining trucks.
Unless it’s road/ licensed plant in which case we capitulate quicker than 1940 s France.
We need baseline data on this.

Just listening to the Nine US correspondent on 3AW. It’s obviously a pre-recorded interview as Tom Elliott referred to him today under another female correspondent’s name. The news item today was the possibility of Trump being arrested re Jan 6. This is following Mark Meadows refusal to comply with the Senate Committee’s request. Apparently, people on the afternoon of Jan 6 were imploring Trump to tell the protestors to go home. Have the forgotten the tweet of Trump doing precisely this which was pulled, and Trump’s twitter account being suspended on that afternoon? Are the media gold fish? Do they think we are?
Was that a book just flung across dot’s study?

CHO Dr Kerry Chant recommends face masks indoors and outdoor gatherings to ‘preserve Christmas’ as COVID cases soar (15 Dec)
She’s got to know that a paper face mask with 10 micron pore size isn’t going to stop a virus that is a hundred times smaller. May as well wear a magic amulet, at least you could breathe freer.
The mask was a crime.
Salvatore:
The disease is the vaccine. You must experience the insanity of Wokeism before you can generate the antibodies to it.
Often, a mild case is enough.
Unfortunately, sometimes a nearly fatal dose is needed before a society is able to throw it off.*
*See Eastern Europe for a successful case study.
For the jab/stab thing, envenomated has a ring to it too.
Nice Christmas you got there. Shame if anything should happen to it.
“Preserve Christmas” – what does that even mean? Is it like something in aspic? Formaldehyde?
Oh no. It’s a threat. No masks, no Christmas for you!
Here’s a tip you insolent, ignorant harpie – you wear a mask if you’re so frightened and leave the rest of us alone.
Very self-serving of her. But I wouldn’t mind if she wears the mask all year round.
The best option though is to never see her again.
“Stung” – it has implications of being royally ripped off too.
Are you paying? My neighbour has a very large paperbark just over my side fence. It decorates my lawn with lots of excellent natural writing substrate.
A few years back when this “new” name came to light, I was reliably informed by someone who had some contacts with the local aboriginal community that when they were asked about the name they used for Mt Wellington, no one knew so they made something up. Explains why references to the use of this name are only a few years old.

Anybody who has had Guillane Barre syndrome (like me – my other potentially fatal medical episode) can attest.
A new vaccine that alters senescent cells in a way that pushes the immune system into removing them
That could be one of the most important developments for preventing illness, delaying chronic disease progression, and prolonging lifespan. If it passes the trials, if I live long enough, I will be first in line to be vaxxed.
That’s a reference to the kangaroo story, isn’t it?
Don’t know if it is true, but the version I heard was that the explorer pointed to the kangaroo but the aborigine was not sure if he was asking the name of the saltatory marsupial, the tree behind it, the produce of the tree, or the faded beer can in the grass which is so prevalent that it must have predated European settlement.
Likely an apocryphal story, but irresistible.
Would that the explorer had instead asked how to avoid drop bears.
Ammonium nitrate – fertiliser, bush beer cooler and explosive in one package.
Versatile stuff.
Why bother? That’s the whole idea.
“Jab” is only cutesy to those who haven’t worked at jobs where getting jabbed by all manner of unclean, jagged & sharp things is both common & painful.
The main reason for referring to these bloody, unholy Jabs is to make the point that they are NOT vaccines.
Watched a parking inspector doing the rounds today, she took photos on her mobile of the car and then put a sticker on the tyre and photographed that as well, they used to chalk the tyres previously. Presumably she comes back in the allowed time and issues a ticket if the car is still there and the sticker serves as some sort of proof. Would it be wrong to follow them up the street at a safe distance and peel said stickers off as you went?
The bullshit and propaganda around Omicron, Delta and the whole shitshow is reaching new heights.
Initial R0 values for Delta of just over 5
And don’t we all remember the breathless reporting of this and higher numbers?
One of many reports of the Omicron R0 being in the 3-3.5 range
All media screaming “It’s three times more transmissible than delta”.
The pricks are again lying by omission. Delta is now mostly at R0 because it has become endemic.
HOWEVER, it’s initial R0 was in the 5+ range, with some sources putting it nearer to 10.
Initial Omicron R0 is in the 3-3.5, so in an apples for apples comparison it is less infectious.
Fear not; I’ve just learned the government has appointed a “task force” to address the situation.
No doubt they put top men onto it. TOP. MEN.
It’s been ages since I’ve listened to Tom Elliott. He’s talking to a caller about boosters and ‘fully vaxxed’ and mandates/ passports. He, Tom, says that if you’ve already been vaxxed you’ve crossed the Rubicon so sees no reason why you’d refuse the booster (which I increasingly hear simply referred to as the third dose now). Divulges that his vaxxes were AZ but understands that’s no longer available, must be either Pfizer or Moderna. Has no idea why he can’t use AZ again as the booster. No one has told him viral vector vaxxes will be attacked by their own immune system by the time of the booster. We have people consenting to these injections who have no idea what they are taking, how they are different to previous inoculations, what the possible adverse effects with these new techniques, that we still in the clinical trial stage, and so on. It’s despairing how pig ignorant and uninterested these people are re vaxxes. Just amazing.
Something else I noticed today. Virtually no one is using hand sanitiser any more. The dispensers at Colesworths were very poorly patronised, one of them broken and has been that way for a while. KMart ditto.
Covid has magically transmogrified into something no longer spread by dirty hands and poor hygiene. Perhaps it’s a mutation.
I wipe stuff down because I shudder to think where people’s hands have been and remained unwashed. Haven’t had a cold for years. And all those hands continually touching and adjusting filthy masks….brrrrrrrrr.

Reminded me of a sorta funny story from pre D Day preparations..
Commando raid on one of the French beaches to make sure they were up to date on German mine technology…
Polish engineer is having trouble undoing a fastening on one of the mines. Slaps his head and remembers German threads go the other way.
Hears quiet grumbles and curses coming from next party over doing the same thing.
Does the whisper thing and grumbles get louder as the British engineers realise their mistake.
You mean, hookers?
Hasn’t ‘deep cleaning’ been abandoned? What a clown show.
I suspect very few Aborigines could have given a rat’s clacker about the name on some maps they don’t read or in some government files they don’t see. I doubt they were stumbling around confused because some people said Mt Wellington. If they called it kinokuniya or whatever they will have learned Mt Wellington as another name. Just like everyone is being expected to do now.
I swear, in the culture wars Aborigines must find themselves again and again being ushered bewildered in front of crowds of people they have never seen before, hear impenetrable verbiage about travails they don’t recognise, perhaps pick out a syllable or two that hints that they should be separated from things they like such as iPhones, KFC, and football, and then just as inexplicably ushered out again, not sure what just happened or how to respond to all these new slobbering testaments to elders and ancients and spirits as they relate to George St.
I actually think it is a kind of abuse.
And Greens party policy.
ML – No, I shamelessly stole it from Terry Pratchett. Can’t remember which one of his, may be the first or second. Now I have to read the The Last Continent again!
Salvatore:
It’s like the fuel reserve being held in another country. The issue isn’t the enemy submarines, it’s the tanker owners who will refuse to set sail with their cargoes if the insurers refuse to cover the risk.
There is probably something on the books leftover from the war to allow the government to issue coverage, but will need updating.
So we’ll just wait for the National Cabinet to meet next time?

Albos teeth surely?
Dover – That would make a decent starter question: “do you know why the AZ vaccine was withdrawn?”
If they answer correctly their argument could be worth discussing.
Cats know this stuff, but I doubt 0.1% of the general population would. We live in an age of obscurantism.
No so fast. Here comes the deadly, really deadly threat.
I’m from Moderna, trust me.
This is worth a read over on Quadrant.
If this is correct then our leaders are genuinely insane and unhinged.

Following the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s approval, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) completed the monstrous approval process. It’s worth reading its recommendations. Every word counts and I’ve picked out some. Be disoriented.
? “This approval is based on the results of a recent clinical trial…” One recent trial. One!
? On the risk of myocarditis, we are told that, “the clinical trial was insufficiently powered to assess.”
? “The risk of myocarditis or pericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 5-11 years is not yet known…”
? “Vaccine effectiveness data from real world experience are not yet available for children 5-11 years but are expected in coming months.”
?“Clinical trials were conducted prior to the emergence of the Omicron variant and the results reflect efficacy against older strains of SARS-COV-2.”
And a useful viral vector has been wasted on a cold virus. It can’t be used again for a generation, till immunity falls out of the population.
Viral vectors are great for genetic treatments for nasty things that will actually kill you like genetic abnormalities or rare cancers. There are also not many different ones around, so to waste this one will see many die who could have benefited in the future.
More unanticipated consequences from extraordinarily poor political decisions.
“Deep cleaning” was just cleaning at a higher margin.
Used properly in a sentence, it would be “Your bank account has been scheduled for Deep Cleaning – please stand still and enjoy the experience”.
Didn’t take angwy wex long to get angwy.
