WA opening date leaves some regions facing tougher restrictions, and businesses are worried
While people across the country have welcomed the impending removal of Western Australia’s hard border on February 5, there has been a mixed response from the regional areas of the state that are now facing increased restrictions.
The state government has warned any region that does not reach a double-dose vaccination rate of 80 per cent by the time the state’s border reopens will face tougher rules.
That has left small business owners in low-vaccinated areas such as the Pilbara worried.

The AdBlue problem isn’t major from a mechanical or software or warranty standpoint.
But will the Canbra political and bureacratic class have the foresight or balls to say, “Fuck it. We are just going to legislate to allow trucks to pump a bit of Noxy emissions out for a couple of months to keep the wheels turning.”
As an aside, if such legislation passes here and elsewhere, eyebrows at VW will be raised.
Might save the country if they did, but they are careful students of history. No Ft Sumters will be gifted. Just a lot of oozing into bureaucratic crevices and basements until they control everything, which they nearly do now.

It panned out that 98 Conservatives voted against the COVID passes bill in the House. Of course, the Labour Opposition were behind the COVID bills. Notice how most of the Opposition parties in the Anglosphere never oppose COVID restrictions, whether they are Left or Right.
The AdBlue thing will be sorted.
But what are the odds ScoMo and Beetrooter give up shitloads of net-zeroes for a two-three month relaxation of the rules.
And, unlike Dan Xi-Man’s emergency legislation, any AdBlue concession will be extremely short term, with more net-zeroes on the table every 60-90 days if it has to be rolled over.

Absolutely. rickw – I think most of us realise that this is one of the major challenges of our lifetime. I think our age demographic is such that a great many of us are “boomers” who saw out the Vietnam war, the Islamic terrorism threat, the various financial crises and so on. People like to cast aspersions upon us – that we have had the best of “runs” – but that is not my memory, at least. Most of us have worked hard for what we have.
But what has occurred in the last two years is an attack on all that we thought our society stood for. It has been a psychologically crippling recognition that the soundness of that belief was illusory.

We thought that until we met the hospital system in a moment of crises. Man did that shake us up, we’re so close to the line.

Nope. Not sure what there would be to write about. I spent around 6weeks in hospital and for 3 of them barely had the energy to sit up in bed. NHS did a good job diagnosing it and pumping me full of immunoglobulin. Walked out without seeing a bill thanks to a reciprocal arrangement with Medicare. I was a bit of a celebrity patient, all the doctors came in for a squiz.

Sure, the mandates are appalling and inexcusable, but stop it with the drama queening. No public hospital is going to deny you emergency service. If hospitals are to refuse service, no ambulance will be picking you up either.

The ever-amusing Salim Mehajer continues to provide hours of harmless fun.
Now READ ON from the Daily Tele:
Salim Mehajer’s opulent western Sydney mansion once featured in a rap video is about to hit the market after he lost a desperate legal bid to block it being sold from under him.
The Federal Court on Wednesday denied Mehajer’s application for an injunction to block the National Australia Bank from selling two of his properties after a judge found it was an “abuse of process”.
The former property developer was in 2018 declared bankrupt owing $24 million to creditors.
The court heard that included a $4 million NAB loan, relating to two Lidcombe properties, which he had defaulted on earlier this year.
The bank was now seeking to repossess and sell the two houses, including a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home featuring a Swarovski crystal chandelier, jacuzzi and private sauna.
The 845 square metre mansion was in 2017 advertised for rent at $2950 a week and was featured in a video for US rap artist Bow Wow.
It also boasts a “13 car basement, home theatre complete with massage chairs”.
“Did you know I designed, built and hand picked every single item in the house, from the screws that are (in) the hinges to the light bulb luminosity,” Mehajer wrote in a 2017 Instagram post after he announced he was moving out of the house and putting it up for rent.
The bank is also seeking to repossess another property at nearby Ann Street.
The former Auburn deputy mayor asked Justice Jayne Jagot to grant an injunction so that he could sell the properties himself, despite being in jail.
Mehajer represented himself during the hearing and dialled into the court from Cooma Correctional Centre where he is housed after he was earlier this year jailed for at least two years and three months for lying under oath to further his business interests.
Mehajer told the court that he had been declared bankrupt owing $24 million to creditors, however he disputed that amount saying much of it was “not true and correct”. He told the court his debt included $10 million to the Australian Taxation Office but said $7.5 million of that was in penalties.
He also claimed that the $24 million included “random debts that do not exist” including $6.2 million being claimed by a western Sydney demolition company, which he argued had been paid in full.
He further argued that his $4 million debt to the NAB was being exaggerated because he was being charged an inflated interest rate of seven per cent which had added $400,000 to what he owed.
“The only real debt I have here is the NAB debt, less the interest rate applied,” Mehajer told the court.
“To overcome bankruptcy is not an impossible things to do if one understand that the $24 million isn’t correct.”
He went on to say he should be given six months to sell the properties himself to pay back the NAB and that he had enough equity to have his bankruptcy annulled.
“It remains my intention to pay all my genuine creditors in full,” he said.
He claimed he had previously raised up to $70 million in capital adding: “I do believe I have the network available to ensure NAB is paid in full.”
He also offered a family friend’s property as security.
But after hearing Mehajer’s submissions, Justice Jagot immediately dismissed the application. She said that under the Bankruptcy Act, a secured creditor such as the NAB was permitted to take possession of and sell the two properties.
As well, because Mehajer was in prison on a serious indictable offence, the Felons Act prevented him from bringing civil proceedings unless granted leave.
“I am unable to find that the proceedings does not involve an abuse of process or there is a prima facie ground for the relief sought in the application,” Justice Jagot said.
Mehajer was also ordered to pay $15,000 for the legal costs for the trustee of his bankrupt estate. He will also have to pay the NAB’s legal costs, which will be determined at a later date.
A Leb’s Leb.
I bear Mr Salim Mehajer no particular ill will, but as a NAB shareholder, I hope they bankrupt him…

Zulu – you would have enjoyed my first day in Corporate Banking Victoria. One of the managers had bankrupted a stockbroker (it was the mid 80s) and had a blown up photocopy of a $20m cheque on the wall. Over the coming months it was dwarfed by various losses.
That reminds me…back in the early ’80s I was helping a mate do just that in his first house in Brisbane’s inner southside. We discovered pre-war newspapers in German, which I was able to decipher as extolling the virtues of Hitler. If memory serves they were German newspapers, not German-Australian ones. Perhaps their fate as lino underlay reflected what the original recipient thought of them.

Nineteen of 40 turbines inspected at the Stockyard Hill wind farm, in Victoria’s central highlands, are defective and will take months to fix, according to the Australian Manufacturing Worker’s Union.
Another 109 turbines were yet to be inspected and it was feared they could also be damaged.
Wife went collect a cheque from Dallhold for some consultancy we did. Not much $20k. The ink was still wet after Allan Bond signed it, one of his top guys said to wife “cash it”. Bank clerk rolled eyes when wife cashed it. 3 days later it was all history. We thought we would be asked for the money back, but guessed it was nothing in the grand scheme. Had a few beers with Allan after he got out of gaol. I always liked Allan, he was a likeable bloke. Yeah he cost a lot of people money but they threw it at him. Don’t think I’m defending him. Everyone was throwing money at him. The West was crazy in those days. I used to know a guy who worked for Laurie Connell ( now there was an arsehole), he spent his entire salary looking like he was rolling in it coz that what what he had to do to keep his job. They lived off his wifes pay. Never paid so little tax as a percentage ever. In 87 after the crash we made more money than before. The West was great then but not now. A different time.
I’ve only heard this in recent years and first thought it was a new euphemism, designed for the woke so they could avoid saying Christmas.

ZK2A my point exactly. They thought they were going to do even better. We had banks throwing money at us. No thanks. When you have multinationals asking advice we wondered how most of them got to where they were. We gave the Australian Government advice in the early 90’s with a huge budget at the time. They spent the whole budget on meetings and still hadn’t done anything in 2007.
We need to remove all these experiments to the Moon, which would mean the stupid buggers who don’t follow the rules will kill just themselves.

Any Bell Group shareholders still there after Bondy got the keys to the Treasury were obviously happy to go along for the ride. Ditto NAB even though they thought they had strengthened their security position. Easy to know when to fold ‘em in retrospect.
Don’t invest in anything if you can’t afford to lose the lot. I dropped $287k in the press of a button when I was sick and stressed out. Took a long time to get it back. After that I went day trading. Peanuts but the bucks soon add up but its hard work keeping tabs on trades. Worked Sundance for ages till a plane crash finished that. Cost about $500 and thats all. It sure beat working for someone else.
Why is this the only thing that comes to mind when I see McGowan’s threat that COVID will find the unvaccinated even if they are in the middle of the desert?
Luckily iron ore prices have removed a lot of that stigma attached to being a WA entrepreneur.
The advice we received was that Alan Bond would still only control 40% of the shares, other shareholders would still hold the majority. Also, FWIW, I don’t think even the most speculative of the shareholders bargained on Bondy confusing Bell Group Treasury with his own private bank account to the tune of over a billion dollars.
We were treated very well in the West by Big Liberal people simply for having a go. Even when I made a mistake in a separate business, not hiring a guy and he ended up going to someone else and the angle was gone, made them a motza, Richard Court helped out, don’t worry about it. Problem solved coz I was straight up with him. I miss what the Liberal party and their supporters were like in those days in WA anyway. I think the Eastern States Liberals were all soft cocks. The Liberals were doers, nothing seemed too hard, not like the liars who are only ever takers.
I never thought I’d leave WA but things change and I’m glad I’m not there now.
Anyway, Sliante to all on the Cat – the latest addition to the clan was born at O God Thirty this morning, making me a great uncle, once again!

Here in Victoria, apart from Kennett/Stockdale for about 8 years, that’s been true for almost half a century.
I have the dubious honour of being knocked back for a $50K business loan by “Last Resort” Laurie Connell at some outrageous interest rate, north of 18% from memory.
He said my credit history was a bit suss. Knowing Connell’s shady background, I was seriously insulted.
A couple of years later, he was six feet under and the loan from another source had been repaid in full.
I win.
Speaking of Test openers, another little whoopsie from Michael Slater (Focks):
And:
That’s the way. Not Slater’s fault. A ‘disorder’*. Got it.
Again with the Andrew O’Keeffe defence.
Be keen to see if he lasts the week.
*It’s not a disorder. It’s being a stupid pisswreck.
I have the dubious honour of receiving a prospectus, inviting me to invest in Rothwells…threw it in the bin…
So, starting it after lunch with a gay pink ball isn’t the main problem?
How did your mate fare?
He made a reasonable recovery after a very long time, he lost a lot of muscle mass from his legs and generally and didn’t seem to ever put it back on.
I had some stickers made up from one of your designs.
Just the rifle with A2A – Australian Second Amendment underneath.
Cool! Flick me an email and we’ll work something out!
The problem the Liberal Party had was that Menzies stayed on ten years past his use by date and he handed the job over to one of his cronies.
Some claim he said he voted DLP in 1974, the year they were wiped out.
One of the worst things Laurie Connell did was juice up Rocket Racer to win the Perth Cup, which killed the pony a week later.
Most of the humans who engaged with that piece of shit had a choice.
BTW, apologies for that meme above, Rickw.
For the economists on this blog…

Oh that’s as funny as hell!!!
From the Victorian Leader of the Opposition (sic) today (via email):
He helpfully places a link to https://www.matthewguy.com.au/contact where one can respond. Today’s rocket was to highlight that this is not over while unenjabbened (or undeclarationised) Victorians cannot attend a workplace to earn their crust. In my opinion, he overlooks this at his peril. LDP is the true opposition party in this state at this moment.
Now if those caravans were delivered by train instead of truck? Hehe.

Isn’t that like when you’re a musical performer and Wierd Al does a parody based on your work?
CL, if you’re around, John Cadogan did this on AdBlue today.
rickw I know you’ll be getting all sorts of unwanted advice about yuor future but have you thought about making replica vintage car parts, what with your 3d printing and I think you said you had a foundry. Broken and missing bits if you can scan them even if they are handed you can change that. Those guys spend heaps. My mate in NZ machines bits for those guys, they have trouble finding people to do that sort of stuff.
Um, what the hell?
Shifted the 4 ton Colchester 3000L to the factory door today ready for pick up. There is literally an inch clearance down either side past the office, and I had to remove the spindle drive controller.
My back only hurts a little!
RickW, definitely get into bespoke vintage car part manufacture.

Grey Ranga,
Not bad advice! I have all the machining and 3D printing capability going, I just need to set up the iron foundry.
One of the things I had been thing about was doing top slides for Hercus / Southbend lathes. I know the guy who is making most of the replacement parts for these machines, he even exports to the US. He had a crack at the top slides before but the had a lot of trouble with them (hole line up with cast recess), I know how to fix that.
The top slides normally look terrible because most get run into the Chuck at some stage.

That sounds interesting and a great way to meet Swedish chicks!
(I need to get over my fear of Swedish women, as a young farm boy I was attacked by my cousins Swedish exchange student, sadly she was hideous! Shout out to Seena Beck-Nielsen and her German counterpart Julia Bartel who sadly didn’t attack me!)

No doubt the mix is a fine balance between coherence, heart attack and bowel control.

Thanks for the concern over my medical condition you heartless shower.
Other posters get reams of bandwidth expressing sympathy, concern and advice. I get Sweet Fanny Adams.
Almost makes me not wish to tell you about my prostate, which is akin to that of a much younger man.

You won’t find “sympathy” on this blog, you’ll need to consult a good dictionary. You’ll find “sympathy” between the words “shit” and “syphilis.”
I like my 25-y-o white Swedish model because no-one even glances sideways at her, which is worth considering when there’s audio gear and instruments in her to the insured value of $10K, and it’s parked behind someone’s shed in Quindanning.
We had a Swedish exchange… she tried to snog me. She was alright, good fun and smart as a whip, couldn’t put anything on her. BMWs are ubiquitous in Sverige, Saabs for the youngsters. There was an odd tax rule which meant that two doors were better than four, so many big Lutheran families crammed into a 142 or stockbroker’s beemer coupe. I don’t actually know if they’ve upsized to the SUV standard as we in Oz have over the last few decades, I’ll ask.
Some of those Swedish backpackers you come across do vary considerably from the mental picture you have of the archetypal Swedish backpacker.

Not sure about that, I could be wrong, but his financial advisory service wasn’t a stellar performer, that was of course way back.
I intend to have a sulk worthy of Achilles.
BTW Zulu that is what my mother said to me. Possibly on my being kicked out of home at 11.
Thanks delta.
A little girl’s missing her appendix and all is well tonight.
I threatened to “run away” at 14. My father rolled me a swag, offered to drive me up to the nearest road, where I should be able to get a lift, and advised me to “try and write home, every three months or so.”
Teh Gunidara on NZ zoning changes to free up the housing sector.Asking “could it work in Australia?” shows that they believe that it will in aotearoa, but won’t here. Also, note the complete radio silence on St Jacinda’s founding myth of 100 000 state commission houses.
Google tells staff to get Alphabet Jab- Google staff google advice, get no results.

All the best to the young lady, for a full recovery.

Miss Anthropist,
aren’t you the bloke who told us your wife is thirty years younger than you? Don’t feign surprise then when no one cares about your health. LOL!!!
Love your work.

rickw – next time, get someone to help lift it.
4 tons is too much for a single person lift.
I was exiled to a boarding school. The more a School’s name, the more appalling the conditions for the poor boarders. And the rich ones.
Two sticks,
I am genuinely pleased the little one is ok.
But pointless posting on here.
The other posters have hearts of stone.
Pogria,
Indeed. And in the 8 years we have been together I have been almost completely monogamous.
Loyalty is what keeps us together.
New Vik diktats make no sense.
Workers in hair and beauty need to be jabbed. Those places are swimming in room perfume, peroxide, acetone and spray tan, I doubt you could get ebola with an open wound there.
Events in places of worship are open fare, but if it’s at a hospitality venue, then you need the clot shot and you need to prove it. But you can enter a hospitality venue, ad lib, with no more vaxx papers.
Masks in retail venues…. er why? Well, we all know why, because women and children are constantly in retail, so it keeps masking up current, forever ever.
All in all.. nothing like a return to normal. The proles are allowed to roam in a fresh pen, and the Lizard People keep their fingers on the trigger.
I’ve got a friend of mine, who was a product of the English public school system. He claimed that there were two lifestyles compulsory at English public schools – one was Rugby football.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer Board of Directors.
I love the Game and the Universe, but hate what they are dloig to the players.
Still, it’s got me looking at Battletech and thinking of having a go. That, and the presentations made by Tex of the Black Pants Legion…
#ReddeCreditori,Fucko!
Wool sales are in- the Merino stuff was damn near 1100c, and even the Border Leicester jumped clear of the valuation reserve to 260. The market for that stuff will be scuttled from now on, because 30-micron carpet white is what the Chinese stock is replacing… as long as it pays enough to keep the shearers supplied in Ruby Drum, I can’t complain.
#MeToo was exiled to a distant boarding school, with only the odd bus trip home to engage with manual labour and Scandinavian exchange students softening the blow.
Let’s be clear.
The full prediction.
Deaths will start 18 months from 25th October 2021.
Which, somewhat poetically, is Anzac Day 2023.
And will continue until all the vaxxed are dead by 25th October 2025.
And it will all be blamed on the Marburg virus (at St Ruth’s link on the original post).
This virus was discovered in 1967 and only transmits via very poor infection control (eg sucking open wounds).
So the full prediction is … all vaxxed dead by 25th October 2025 and Marburg virus takes the rap.
For bank shareholders.
Westpac have extended their buyback and dropped the max discount from the customary 14% to 10%.
This suits me bigtime, but why are they doing it?
Guilty conscience over launching a buyback when they had shareprice killing news in the pipeline?
Samcho,
I will be sorry to see you all go.
What size are your suits btw?
gawd I get sick of this shit … youre like a fucking child
I thought calling out bullshit was the main game here.
