Jane Kerosene on Twitter blames the fake COVID crisis we’re in on libertarians – you know, small government types like Swan, Morrison and Frydenberg, accumulating over 850 bn of debt.
Small government. At 1/3 of GDP, clearly this is way, way too small.
That generational welfare and poverty – Ah, small government.
Expensive housing – clearly not taxed enough!
Those refugees the left care about clearly need more government.
Banning celebrities for clout – small government.
Micallef is still good value.
Celebrity chef Adam Liaw being a condescending, hysterical weakling, calling vaccine hesitant babies whose lives could be spared.
I misread ‘county’ as ‘country.’
Now there’s an awful thought- What if the Irish voted against being Ireland, and the British voted against being Britain?
That would be kinda complicated…
Not a good sign Jupes. Let’s hope it is a delay with the aircraft elsewhere, even if it is a long one I have been on flights where the pilots don’t hold back the horses to make up time.
If it keeps delaying I’d be asking to be routed through another city not on the pox list, in fact I’d be making tentative inquiries about the flight and discussing options now. Plenty of times it has save my behind because the lady behind the counter has remembered me and kept me updated.
Carosene is about the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
Morrison went to the cricket today.
Social media exploded.
What do they expect him to be doing…personally administering PCR tests?
He may be pretty lame, but he attracts an almost Trumpian level of disdain from the usual types.
Imagine Dutton.
Kerosene is basically saying that us small government folks are responsible for government waste.
Stop waste now! Communism for efficiency! Comrades! Peoples!
This is why we need an IQ test before we teach children literacy.

She does have some leeway. Someone said the other day that this one was in her personal gift.
All the best for your trip Jupes.
Fingers, toes and flaps crossed.;)
I’m sure she’d love to…alas, she doesn’t.

Bairstow, you magnificent bastard
Tony Blair won a war (or two)…
He has a claim of sorts to being knighted if not nobility.
IIRC, each O-9 (full) General/Admiral/Air Chief Marshal from the UK got a baton and at the minimum, a knighthood if not land and peerage, if they went to war and won…this has been happening since Queen Anne, no?
so in that case I’m not even sure what value the taxpayer is getting out of the Windsors.
Aah, the tea lady. When I were a junior Commonwealth pube in the early 1970s, the tea-ladies were all Spanish and usually called Maria. So were the cleaners in the ANU Halls of Residence. I have never found out why or how this happened, something strange in the Immigration Department which remains a mystery.
Which brings us to the Great Tea Trolley Disaster of 67.
Still spoken of in hushed tones.
I dunno how the TV ended on free to air and why I was watching the Channel 9 news. There was an ad for the show called Married At First Sight. One scene in the ad had a dude saying
“My wife is a psychopath”
It may be worth watching to see why when it comes on later in the month 🙂
Okay! Just got the “go to gate” call. Looks like it’s up to McClown to put a stop to this now. Thanks for the good luck wishes Cats and speak soon.

Would Yanks be flocking to Britain to visit Oliver Crowell’s birthplace?

Big Fat Clive is now on TV running an ad for the UAP and peddling a fast train service thereby allowing people to commute 300K in a hour, own their own home and have a quality life in the sticks.Yea, the UAP sounds like a great vote deal.
I remember Italian cleaners, Jo. But the tea ladies were working class Anglo ladies of a certain vintage.
All wives matter!
jupes,
Get some luggage checked in. A mate once got a seat on an overbooked flight only because he had the same name as a Hyper-Ultra-Lord-Of-The-Universe level frequent flyer, but even though he was only Contemptible Minion level frequent flyer the lord of the universe got bumped because he had only carry-on and they’d have had to delay the flight to get my mate’s checkin off.
Good luck – hope that “go to gate” isn’t just wishful thinking by the airline staff.
Dont care as long as the clot shot mandates are fully removed.
BoJo is apparently using the Queen as a human shield for Blair’s knighthood, the gutless fat turd.
Blair was given a KG, which is something awarded (or not) on Ministerial advice. (As best I understand it, only KStJ’s or other StJ gongs are actually matters for Royal prerogative.)
Except that mandates are state and not Federal.

I think the Poms get a lot out of Betty Windsor. Imagine the UK without the monarchy? Whilst I have my reservations about some Windsors, I like Anne, Sophie and Edward and William and Kate.
The whole UK honours system is as corrupt as our “honours system” and they both should be abolished. Now just wait for the Australia Day gongs, I bet it’s going to be another ghastly choice although given last year’s AOTY, could it be any worse?
Summernats currently on in Canberra, much to the disgust of many residents.
We have some Summernats fans from as far away as SA staying at the motel. The guy in the room next door told me this morning that he has been coming for more than 20 years – not sure where he is from. He books his room for next year as he is leaving.
Unfortunately the weather is tropical – humid and overcast with thunderstorms. But it was dryish for most of today.
I love Summernats, and despite the fact that the fastidious element among the Canberra elite loathe it, it brings in a huge amount of business at a time of the year when hotels and restaurants are mostly empty. So every year, the precious ACT government has to hold its collective nose and cop it. It’s always glorious to watch. 🙂
How they must grind their teeth when the burn-out competions are on!
Steve Trickler (now resident at Adam’s) put up some great clips of burn-outs at the Nats. Enough to make Greta weep – heh heh.

Australian Immunisation Register Amendment (Reporting) Bill 2020
Second Reading
Mr HUNT (Flinders—Minister for Health and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Cabinet) (09:55): I move:
…The AIR [Australian Immunisation Register] provides Australians with an immunisation history statement (IHS) which displays all immunisations that an individual has had that are recorded on the AIR. The IHS, or immunisation history statement, can be viewed and printed via Medicare Online, myGov or the Express Plus Medicare mobile app. Vaccination providers can print an IHS on behalf of their patient. Immunisation information on My Health Record is updated via a daily feed from AIR data.
The IHS can be used by individuals to prove their immunisation status for child care, school, employment or travel purposes, particularly as there are cases around the world where different types of vaccinations are required for different countries.
This is the one thing that facilitates this tyranny. Without it, it isn’t possible.
That’s not news. US witches spent Trump’s entire term casting spell on him. None worked.
Each month, thousands of witches cast a spell against Donald Trump (2017)
You’d think that there’d be righty witches as well as lefty witches, seeing that there’re supposed to be white and black ones. But no, all witches seem to be lefties. Millions of them.
Queenie has been an absolute fucking disaster.
And who cares what Bob Hawke thought, he was lower than Rattlesnake piss.
She’s left her run too late.
State nominations are already in.
Thankfully no professional victims this year by the looks.

Family members (s) need pre-surgery pcr tests.

You don’t, Bear, as we’ve just seen.
The most temperamental weather in Sydney in my lifetime has always been in early January.
The Bairstow’s effort this afternoon was a tour de force. One run in two hours, 97% humidity, a smashed thumb and all done while wearing a woollen sweater (seriously, WTF?).
First (and probably only) English century this test series. At this rate it will also be the only test in this series that goes for longer than three days.
We managed to live and travel without App access to our immunisation record, right up to 2020.
What changed that required such instantaneous access?
I’ll give you two guesses, but you should need only one.
No, the LNP are up to their necks in this shit.
Brittany Higgins became the popular choice as AOTY by snatching her job and cutting ties with the Liberal Party, then going public with her story.
Massive respect.
Win/Win for the Government too, they got rid of Reynolds and replaced her with Peter Dutton, a few months later we’re getting Nuke Subs.
On the subject of next AOTY, it’s a foregone conclusion that it will either be a GayBoy with 6 kids or a M-F Tranny.
Nah. It’ll be someone who does something related to Wuflu.
You need to read up on ATL Carver and the cult of Kek.
You’re imagining things…
Now he deserves a knighthood.
Bluddee hell! 🙂
Brittany better hurry up with her 15 minutes of fame. Once Groogs finishes those security tapes and it goes to trial with a couple of witnesses cross examined I don’t think we’ll be hearing much about her again.

I mentioned the fact there is no opt out to this unlike My e-health last year. Just before it went live they changed the privacy act and regulations to allow something that previously was verboten if a person did not give consent with disclosing medical records. In fact the old privacy act had written into it about the right to withhold medical info.
We did fill out the form to supress who can access though but it isn’t good enough. I would prefer to opt out. I keep a full register of my vaccines in an old yellow card, my vaccine status is a matter for me and my GP, it is and never has been the business of Karens, the Government or anyone else.
It was a brave man who chose to do battle with The Queen of Hearts who was in charge of the typing pool.
There is a wonderful part of a novel – can’t remember which – where the formidable head of the typing pool (English) had cards from heads of typing pools all over the Empire on the wall behind her. You know, camels, elephants, Indian palaces.

Study: Vaccines Don’t Stop Covid Outbreaks (and Actually Cause More of Them)
TRANSCRIPT (Press Conference)
03 Dec 2020
Prime Minister
The Hon. Greg Hunt MP, Minister for Health: Thanks, PM, and thanks David. So the immunisation register already exists. Think of it as a digital yellow book. Many of you would have had the World Health Organisation yellow books growing up and, like me, you’ve probably lost it over the years. And so this is an online version that actually exists already. And the change here is simply that whilst we maintain as an absolute article of faith voluntary but strongly encouraged vaccination, we have mandatory reporting of vaccinations for flu, for the National Immunisation Programme, for diseases such as mumps, rubella, pertussis and for COVID-19 vaccines. That’s very important, whole of nation public health information. But it’s also critically important information for individuals.
Journalist: Can companies get access to it?
The Hon. Greg Hunt MP, Minister for Health: No, no, it’s private. It’s your- it’s your medical record and it’s nobody else’s.
Weasel words. No, companies and businesses don’t have direct access, but given they know you now have instant access to it, they can use it as a tool to discriminate, by demanding you provide it as proof.
I’ll not forget.

For ‘Succession’ fans – there is a lot of complex interpretation of a very complex show out there on youtube but this clip is very good for showing how it is all done with the cinematography- the choreography of it Also interesting but not mentioned here is that ad libbing in character is an integral part of the scripting, although the incredibly impressive script is tight and has to be followed for the most part.

I think that FM Sir Edwin Bramall was the last Five Star CDS, and promotion to that level stopped around then (might have gone one more cycle).
And not a tattoo in sight.

What about the many people who help the elderly and disabled every day in their own communities? The ones who do their shopping, cook them a meal now and then, make sure they are OK?

President Donald J Trump
6th January 2022
To watch Biden speaking is very hurtful to many people. They’re the ones who tried to stop the peaceful transfer with a rigged election. Just look at the numbers. Does anybody really think that Biden beat Obama with the Black population in select Swing State cities, but nowhere else? That he would lose 18 out of 19 bellwether counties, and 27 out of 27 “toss up” House races, but somehow miraculously receive the most votes in American history with no coattails? That he would lose Florida, Ohio, and Iowa and win, even though it has never been done before?
They spread a “web of lies” about me and Russia for 4 years to try to overturn the 2016 election, and now they lie about how they interfered in the 2020 Election, too. Big Tech was used illegally.
Where did all those votes show up from in Georgia, where it was just revealed they sold ballots for $10 a piece, or in Pennsylvania, and Arizona, and Wisconsin. He acts like he’s aggrieved, but we’re the ones who were aggrieved and America is suffering because of it with poisonous Borders, record Inflation, a humiliating surrender in Afghanistan, $5 a gallon gas and higher, empty stock shelves, and rampant crime. America is a laughingstock stock of the world, and it’s all because of the real insurrection, which took place on November 3rd, but this is an election year and MAGA Republicans should get elected and work with me to fix this horror that Joe Biden and the Democrats have brought us.
Never forget the crime of the 2020 Presidential Election. Never give up!
Great news, jupes!
err, Rog, if it’s any consolation, I gave the Strat a blast this afternoon (albeit on the mini Marshall), after being encouraged by a mate who was over this afternoon getting it out of its display mothballs and then playing it. There’s now a guitar tuning app on your phone, FFS …
The fingertips are still aching and I’ve misplaced my copy of this … 😕
I arrived in Rosario one day in the nineties and my host proudly said this was where they held the World Cup! Argies are total tragics.
I wasn’t in a great mood because I got diverted to Montevideo because of fog, caught flu, had an ear ache, then was ripped off by a Buenos Aires taxi driver, then missed my domestic flight and spent hours carefully saying my newly learned term “per favor” trying to get on a flight to Rosario, before getting the last one in the day, whereupon watched the stewardesses going up and down the aisle spraying pesticide everywhere; all after not eating anything because there was a cholera scare. On the flight back couple days later I was promoted to 1st Class for the first and only time ever. That was on the same Aerolinas Argentinas flight where two passengers died of cholera from eating their in-flight meals two months previously.
I may be biased about Argies. Far warning.
Further…
Biden is working hard to try and deflect the incompetent job he is doing, and has done, on the horrible Afghanistan withdrawal (surrender), the Borders, COVID, Inflation, loss of Energy Independence, and much more. Everything he touches turns to failure. That’s what you get when you have a rigged Election.
Furthermore
Biden, who is destroying our Nation with insane policies of open Borders, corrupt Elections, disastrous energy policies, unconstitutional mandates, and devastating school closures, used my name today to try to further divide America. This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed. Our Country no longer has Borders, has totally and completely lost control of Covid (record numbers!), is no longer Energy Independent, Inflation is rampant, our Military is in chaos, and our exit, or surrender, from Afghanistan was perhaps the most embarrassing day in the long and distinguished history of the United States—and so much more. Why is it that the Unselect Committee of totally partisan political hacks, whose judgment has long ago been made, not discussing the rigged Presidential Election of 2020? It’s because they don’t have the answers or justifications for what happened. They got away with something, and it is leading to our Country’s destruction. They want all conversation concerning the Election “Canceled.” Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. They are not justifiable, so the complicit media just calls it the Big Lie, when in actuality the Big Lie was the Election itself.
The Democrats want to own this day of January 6th so they can stoke fears and divide America. I say, let them have it because America sees through theirs lies and polarizations.

How has that worked out in the last 20 years? This scum literally destroyed cities and killed people because they hated Trump. How did this work out in the GOP’s favor?
The old thief is actually doing a very good job as far his controllers are concerned. Marxist wrecking and cheap labor for the ruling classes. Win win. I think Biden has to one of the most evil excrescences ever to walk this earth. A dirty, dirty evil old man.

– unconstitutional mandates

The more I look back on the Fraser Government, the more the term ‘hard left’ comes to mind.
Josh Frydenberg:
After finishing high school, he took a gap year to play tennis full-time in Australia and Europe. Frydenberg played against Mark Philippoussis and Pat Rafter, and represented Australia at two World University Games.

“Border Force” retroactively cancels another tennis entry. Is this part of the “debunking” process to push natural immunity beyond the pale?
They are reduced to larping that elite sportsmen and women are carrying the nanna-nullifier.
Dylan Alcott by a country mile from that list.
Friedeggburger has the coof, pity its not arse cancer.
Milt – it’s an interesting concept when you think about it.
St Gough had impeccable credentials as an everyman, a war hero (and yes, he was), a barrasite and a faithful hubby to his beloved Madge in their humble suburban surroundings – Cabramatta, no less, where his beloved “Veitmanese* Balts” would eventually end up in great numbers thanks to his successor’s munificence.
The Fraser – landed gentry (i.e the Squattocracy), too young to serve in WW2, Oxford graduate, elected an MP when he was 25.
These are the scum who sold this country down the toilet after Ming the Merciless had left the scene.
Arrogant born to rule bastards who knew they knew best.
Australians never saw the outcomes of their disastrous sanctimonious idiocy coming, or if they did, were powerless to stop it.
And here we are – tyrannized by pygmies perched on the shoulders of giants with feet of clay. 🙁

I did a return out of Melbourne to Perth once for 3 weeks work, 5 hour flight an old B737, mostly over the bight too. I was pretty young and never flown that long let alone that distance over water. Remember being slightly nervous about it.

Josh is one of the better performers and he’s been a very steady hand.
The Fraser Government was the greatest lost opportunity in this country – elected in a landslide with a clear mandate to dismantle the failed experiment in social engineering left behind by Gough Whitlam, it was almost as though he was too timid to exercise that mandate for fear of what the Left would say about him..
The Vaccine Passport Pathway to a Social Credit System
The one achievement of the Fraser Government was to give the military a pay rise, to bring pay and conditions into line with civilian pay scales – I was very solemnly assured that “well, if you get a pay rise, the rest of the public service should be entitled to one, as well.”
Do people no wot enormity Menes?

Hey Custard has Scumbag Morrison been taking tips from Josyphilitic Bideton how to run a country into the ground. I looked at someones comment about dem’s getting the shits with Bidet tweet. The tweets replies were sickening, all certifiably criminally insane in their support fort the thief.
There’s a correlation so it must be true.

Australian Border Force officials flatly rejected Djokovic’s requests, explaining there would be no special treatment.
May be mistaken. Quite sure the judgement that was posted the other day had the Judge ruling he be given access to a Tennis Court till the appeal is heard. Wouldn’t that be contempt? Or even at the bare minimum very petty looking.

Thanks Rokdokta. I may do just that.
It was Brisbane domestic, just before Christmas.
Flight was delayed Five hours. Qantas Club staff would not allow me as far as the door from the public concourse to Gates .
No smartphone to QR code: No entry.
“Download the app” was the barked command.
Explaining that I’ve utterly no idea how to use the internet on a phone, & my phone is not internet enabled, & that I’ve no ruddy idea how to download an app;
“Log in to the Brisbane airport wifi & do it that way” was the next barked command.
I’ve no ruddy idea what that involved & said that now is not the time to learn.
Shrugged shoulders was the mute reply, along with a look that said “eat my dog’s dung, microbe”
They glared in contempt over their masks, though eventually my pleadings & puppy dog look prompted them to tell me how delayed my flight would be. (This whole fiasco took about 15 minutes)
It was a long thirsty Five hours, Qantas Club wouldn’t let me in, shops would accept only card payment.
Just as it seemed I’d have to lower my standards & drink from a public fountain, a shop run by an owner-driver up the Virgin end accepted cash when he saw that was the only way he’d make a sale.
I’m now incensed to read upthread that Qantas Club will allow manual sign-in.
I’ve been a platinum frequent flyer for more than a decade (until covid that is, I’ve now lapsed to mere “Lifetime Gold”)

Sal, just did some research and was unaware of this:
https://www.tropicnow.com.au/2020/december/21/manual-covid-19-check-in-banned-in-qld-from-wednesday
That said, it was last year and the only 2 times I was pulled up in Qld they had a tablet handy with the Qld Check in App, all I had to do was put my name and ph number in. It isn’t hard but I have found the Brisbane Domestic Q Club the runt of the litter so to speak.
FFS the last time I went into a NSW pub was the Imperial at Rooty Hill and they had the same set up and it would comply with Anna’s BS IMO.
This scum literally destroyed cities and killed people because they hated Trump. How did this work out in the GOP’s favor?
Pretty well, JC, because they hate and fear the Orange God-Emperor as much as, or more, than the Dems.
Woose. When we ran out of sandpaper, we’d use echidnas.
Seems a bit dated, but Australia and Covid in the news on CBN (Christian Broadcast Network). If they were current they would have cited that a Serbian Orthodox is spending Orthodox Christmas under lockup! Novax will probably get a entry ban to Australia stamped on his passport. You can piss Tennis Australia off to Hong Kong Kong for the next year, where conditions will be less restrictive than Oz!!

It’s beginning to look a lot like the final lap. Consensus is growing that Omicron has accelerated our progress towards the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in countries such as Australia with high rates of infection.
“I like quoting Blade Runner – ‘The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long’,” says University of Sydney infectious diseases expert Robert Booy.
“I don’t think even the best virologists can tell you for sure when this pandemic may end. There is a great deal of scientific uncertainty – but in the past, pandemics have lasted two or three years, and they tend to quieten down after that.
“Experience teaches us that we might be in a good position, especially because we have got the double advantage of vaccination immunity and wild virus-induced immunity, both at high levels.”

I wonder if we’ll see another round of toilet paper punch ups?
