Nothing wrong with Billyboy drawing from history, Rabz.

WA panicked by an unvaccinated backpacker!
We are watching the death of Australian culture.

So it seems our country lasted less than a week before the lure of totalitarianism was just too strong for them…

It seems economic understanding and reality is completely foreign to them..

If Intel keep grovelling to the Chinese Communist Party to avoid a boycott there

… How about the Western world boycotting them in return?

Calli:

Poor nannanna, slumming it in quarantine.

So who paid for this?

all of his recent public pronouncements

Reflect the fact that when he was PM he rolled over and wanted collectivists to give him a tummy tickle.

Instead, ol’ bloke, they administered the pineapple.

There will be no historical revisionism here, thanks.

Be that as it may, he was a better PM than the two who preceded him, and the two who followed.

He’s not in The Big Boy’s Club, whoever, whatever they are.

I thought that was the Australian Research and Space Exploration agency?

They got a cool logo, and a mug and everything.

They even got Radio Telescopes, man! Telescopes!

Thank God I’m not alone!

Gentlemen, please!

This is supposed to be a time of Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards all Mankind (and the womenfolk too, otherwise there will be neither Peace nor Goodwill, but a long, dark teatime of the couch…).

As such, can we all please agree that Rabz is a most agreeable and perspicacious sort, but without saying that his taste in music is… Not similar to mine?

Serious question, anyone know why duty free grog would be getting confiscated in a transit of Singapore. Nil issues out of Europe. Apparently an issue in transit. I have seen it years ago when flying in & out of Oz with reaction to the shoe bomber, with all the technology available now this still really in effect?

If I were cynical I’d say the (non) Duty Free outlets you are channelled through before customs in BNE, SYD or MEL would be quite content with this arrangement.

I’m very fond of you Cardi and I like Vikki’s columns….a lot. I think your daughter has her head screwed on the right way but any lingering respect I had for Barnaby evaporated when he capitulated to the net zero nonsense.

Me, too, Cassie – and he knows it.

A link for Cardi

Thank you, Roger – I’ve saved that as a pdf document so that if they delete the article I can still reference it.

Cardi is an honourable man.

Indeed he is. Cardi has probably done more to enlighten the masses than anyone else on this blog.

Dannings Warehouse.

In normal times that promise of 4000 ICU beds would have grabbed the MSM like an octopus.

In normal times.

Every once in a while, an event occurs which restores your faith in human nature. The Tele:

A fight over unpaid rent, a playstation and who owns a cat has left one man dead and his son fighting for life after a wild brawl in Sydney’s western suburbs, police said.

The man, aged 40, died after being stabbed in the neck when more than a dozen people arranged to meet on Wednesday night in a park at Whalan — where two people were going to have a fight.

The traditional one on one, suitably attended, to determine honour and ownership of cats. We’ve all been there.

Instead of a one-on-one contest as was planned, the situation turned into an out of control melee where at least three people were injured after a knife was used.

The man’s 19-year-old son was stabbed in the chest and is in a critical condition while his 25-year-old uncle was also knifed and now in a serious condition.

Family. Extremely important at this time of year, as is motor sports:

A friend of the three stabbed men then jumped into a ute and tried to run over members of the opposing side but lost control of the vehicle which flipped onto its roof.

The driver and two females who were inside the ute at the time were able to get out of the upturned vehicle unharmed.

This is the Australia we know and love. A word from plod:

“It’s trivial and senseless act,” Detective Chief Inspector Paul Tickner said.

Now just hold it right there Detective Chespector. You take that back. Cat ownership is critical. In these trying times, you never know when you’ll need half a dozen dim sims.

Na Rex can’t see that behaviour in Singapore. Definitely at Phnom Penh, some Indo airports or even KL/BKK many years back. Reckon it is an Australian requirement.

I don’t bring much grog back anymore when I am infrequently overseas but do remember in the early 2000’s having no problems internally in Asia including the ME & Africa routes but as soon as an Australian destination was involved it had to be in checked luggage. Thought with all the new scanners airports everywhere are using this would have all gone by the wayside by now.

Mate of mine was an anaesthetist onboard ship in the Falklands War. Went back to pommieland about 20 years ago. The hours he used to work, don’t know how he stayed awake, loved that redbull stuff.

KD, suburb of Blacktown bordering St Marys. I won’t mention any more except if you have ever ridden the Penrith line you see it for real.

Cheers though, I was wondering on the particulars of this one. Was very light on detail last night, especially the upturned Hilux.

Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of bitch has always bored me
Throw out them L.A. papers
That mouldy box of Vanilla Wafers
Adios, to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back streets
I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
Without gettin’ killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain’t bought, bought, bought

*err, do not ask certain personages that hang around here – especially those calling themselves “Mark A”, “Winston Smith” and “Rex Angree” – they’ll wholeheartedly agree with you

Crimes Against Good Taste, which I would remind Rabz are entirely subjective (Being an Anger prone to appreciating the aural assault that is Pipes and Drum music- The shoutier, the better!), are not crimes.

Because an opinion is never objective.

I just have a different taste in preetee blondes…

Evening all.
Has anyone noticed that, when you right click your mouse, a new option has appeared. You now have the choice of “creating a QR Code for this page”. I only noticed it today. Am I late to the party, or has it been there for sometime?

I wonder if it is a direct line to the Pox Bus? 😉

AM glad, duh.

OK – it’s a sensitive subject, but is anyone here aware of who the members of TISM may have alleged to have been?

I recall hearing a rumour that they were all high school teachers.

Rabz, this is the Cat.

As Tailgunner used to put it, bare-knuckle blogging.

So I’ll suffer no Heart of Glass out of you, got it?

Merry Christmas, you gloriously mad bastards, One And All…

@ Rabz-

Was the erkos the glasses or the brunette?

Either way, I need to find an extinguisher. Urgently

At 19:45 local time I ubered to the duxton where I had booked for four days. At 20:45 I had ubered back home . They wouldn’t have me without a mask or documentary evidence that I have a rare medical condition which precludes my wearing one. (I do. It’s called ‘sanity’.) So I ubered straight back. They wanted me to pay for one night. I told them no. So I transferred most of the money on the card to another account before they just stole it.

I was asked by the receptionist for documentation on my claimed exemption, and asked her if she could first give me details of the HIV status of the entire staff.

So they fucked up my holiday but saved me a few thousand bucks, so it’s not so bad. Ruined my prospects of picking up omicron, but I’m probably immune to it anyway.

MORTAL FIGHTS – ANACONDA VS CROCOD?LE

Doc,

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. It raises the question of whether entities taking bookings should specify the conditions for the booking. Seems like common sense … oh wait.

To be fair to the Duxton, they had no way of knowing about this condition until yesterday, when the edict came down from Marx McClown. They could have told me about it yesterday and saved me a couple of uber fares.

It’s cost them a lot more than it cost me to implement this insane mandate. I doubt if they’ll have the sense to blame the government for losing my custom. But they should.

Anti Vax? Just this stuff.

Re duty free, just before wuflu appeared here, I took the family to Rarotonga for a week, first and last holiday involving plane travel for us. Anyway time came to leave and come home, got to the airport an hour before the flight. Shortly after we got there the duty free shop opened, I had a look they had a great range and very cheap prices. I took some whisky to the counter and got my card out to pay when the salesman said “I’m not supposed to tell you this but you can’t take this on the plane”, after a bit more discussion it turns out that on flights to Australia leaving the Cook Islands you aren’t allowed to carry on duty free. So the only place you can take duty free is to NZ. Now the only plane leaving that day was ours and we went to Sydney, so nobody could take the stuff with them. I asked the bloke why he was open and he said the boss still manages to sell some and gets it back after the flight leaves.

but at the same time powers that be are letting it rip

There is no better time to do it.
This should be viewed as an opportunity.
Not a crisis.

That came after a similar record just the day before with 186 cases, with state Chief Health Officer John Gerrard earlier in the week saying case numbers would grow exponentially.

“In order for us to go from the pandemic phase to an endemic phase, the virus has to be widespread. We all have to have immunity.”

Gray sounds “truthy” but not a single state premier or chief minister, nor the PM is a Boomer. They are all Gen X-ers.

Gray is a Narrative Promoter, so not to be trusted.
A Generation is 30 years, as I’ve explained a few times.
So, if you’re calling the Generation born between 1941 and 1970 Boomers, then Scotty, Anna and the Tasmanian Gobbledok are Boomers.

And I must apologise to Roger. I haven’t had time to look up Gerrard’s previous statements. Many…many comments were made about him last week, iirc about his brother’s death in particular.

If he is indeed looking at the thing being allowed to burn itself out through the community, then all strength to his arm. My trust in these guys is at an all time low, particularly under political pressure.

In other news, the pork belly disappeared last night as if by magic. Nothing like having a house full of hungry males to make your cooking appreciated!

Serious question, anyone know why duty free grog would be getting confiscated in a transit of Singapore.

Changi Airport Terminal 1 does not have a central security screening checkpoint. Every gate has a body scanner and bag x-ray machine. You can buy alcohol at any of the stores in the terminal and they will deliver it sealed to the gate and you pick it up after you go through security, however if you have duty free grog in your hand luggage and you get off the plane during the transit it will get confiscated when you go to reboard as you have to go back through the gate security checkpoint.

Most Boomers and Silents are vaccinated to the eyeballs. How much more “protection” do they need…or want?

This strayed into the realms of farce long ago. As many here have opined, it has become about control and regulation, not health. In other words, a political response to a health issue.

A Virginia school administrator (uncovered by Matt Taibbi).

On November 6th, 2020, according to a later recall petition, former Board member Debbie Rose contacted the Superintendent and the Board to complain that Barts was using her private Facebook page to conduct school business. In response, Barts posted an update, saying that her page had been “archived and is not coming back,” a move made, she said, for anyone “who is trying to FOIA my old page.” Barts had another fascinating habit of publicly setting down in writing suggestions to constituents for how to work around FOIA. “Please continue to call me if you want to discuss items with discretion,” she’d write. “Emails are subject to FOIA.” All this was like wearing a “Honk if you like violating the Freedom of Information Act” bumper sticker on your forehead.

Sure CRT isn’t being taught in schools.

The Silent Generation was born between 1911 and 1940.
They’re responsible for the problems today because they put their own security above everything else.
The Selfish Generation is more apt.
And yes, Gray Connolly is a grifter.
The State wants Narrative Promoters, he’s stepped up to the plate.

‘Kim Potter…. first degree manslaughter’

Good indeed. This was discussed at length at the time. Cross draw Tasers, normal draw shooters so muscle memory doesn’t get confused.

That said, you cannot train a snail to pole vault. Some people are not suited to certain roles, and tokenism is not only stupid – it’s fatal.

Excluding unvaccinated from family Christmas functions, Scrooge on stilts

It’s also dumb as a bag of hammers. The very same “excluders” are out in the community every day, interacting with randoms and fiddling with their filthy masks with grubby hands, indeed handling all sorts of items as if they had just been sprayed liberally with Glen20.

Then come home, fail to bother washing their hands and stuff their gobs with the food they just purchased. Apparently everything they touch is mysteriously encased in the vaxx force field.

Apparently to these smooth brained types, the clean and tidy unvaxxed present a threat. But it isn’t to their health. It’s a threat to their world view.
