Or more preposterous if various Sov Cits “accidentally” found themselves in Darlinghurst (clad in red shoes) around late March and stated:
“It might be best if we try and fit in – oh look, St Ruth, Graeme’s turned up with a case of Corona – hope he’s brought some lemon and lube”.

Boambee, remember reading a book on the Vietnam War where a Qantas B707 carrying Troops was in its approach to Than Son Nhat but warned off by ATC to land from the opposite direction as there was a little firefight going on below the intended glide path. Apparently the Engineer was reacting with horror seeing all the tracer flying into the sky well off in the other direction. The FO & Captain both WWII Veterans of Lancasters became very animated loving every minute of it. I could imagine it nervous crew growing more alarmed at the 2 vet’s in the pilots seats having flashbacks to the German bombing raids.
It’s called “knowing thy enemy”.

I have no idea what you mean. No one write a terrible piece in the WSJ.
If you’re referring to the anti-Twostix piece, it was FH Buckley , likely William F Buckley’s son. You know, the grand uncle of US conservatism.
Twostix actually writes some good comments here- not sure what this boomer obsession is all about. People are individuals and age is but a number.

Woodstock was one of those things than American boomers said they went to but never did. They just played the records.
I don’t know why it is so overblown with mystique. There was so much happening in ‘69 it really was just a sideshow.
But, of course, those kids couldn’t pretend they went to the moon. So they pretended they wallowed topless in mud instead.
It’s called “knowing thy enemy”.
yes Dad used to say that but the car radio can only stand so many thumps
I’m told the sound of music was the biggest selling album in the 60s.
The estimated Woodstock crowd: 400,000*
The number of boomers who claim they were there (not including the now dead ones) 4,000,000.
*Get out your barrel of salt
To be fair, Greta Twostix has toned down the boomer obsession of late.

About the only decent thing that happened at Woodstock was Pete Townshend (while planeted on STP) going all eccy thoomp on that braindead hippie (BIRM) stage invader’s backside.
But not to be outdone, the Stones then decided they’d run a similar “happening” on the West Coast, man.

But not to be outdone, the Stones then decided they’d run a similar “happening” on the West Coast, man.
And we all know how that turned out
Sometimes the actual end of a decade is purely an artificial totally calendar-based phenomenon. But in hindsight “the 60’s” had a well defined ending. August 1969, Woodstock, was very 60’s, then December 1969 Altamont Speedway was almost an announcement “fasten your seatbelts for the 70’s”.
Bluddee hell, JC – I’m still trying to expunge all memory of the episodes I watched back in the mid nineties.
Thursday night, channel 10(?) 8:30pm, the week’s shit largely over, relaxin’ on the couch.
Opening credits, an aerial view of Manhattan at night, paired with the weird chimes in the spooky muzak. Then the names and visages of the various cardboard cut outs who played the main characters. About the only one I can remember was the Hargitay Woman, the hideously uglee ol’ detective, the dinosaur lawyer with the grey helmet and his blonde legal bimbo offsider.
Riveting stuff it wasn’t. A guilty pleasure, it was. 🙂
Re Waters filth, they actually had a very good candidate to run against her but of course she got back in. Whether it was stupid voters or a corrupt voting system or both, who knows.
I don’t know which way their preferences went in the past, but I think that’s irrelevant to the coming election. The party membership numbers are high, Clive’s got a fist-full of dollars to splurge, and there’s a large number of angry punters out there who want to kick a politician or three.
They have done a preference swap deal with the LDP, that’s all that they have announced to date, apart from kicking the sitting member out.
Including inventing a legendary fake French saying.

Thanks urbs, he’s now on a (very long) list.
He’s no relation. He’s also a Boomer, which was obvious from the article. If you want to understand why Gen X, not Millennials, are less than flattering about Boomers you just have to watch film and TV produced from the late 70s through to the late 90s. Constantly being told how great and formative the 60s and 70s were. How trailblazing they were. How terrible society before them was. Etc. Etc.
Also, the destruction of those statues and monuments is merely the campaign of the 60s continued. The idea that millennials could undertake that project without the help and agreement of Boomers and Gen Xers is absurd.
And with a mother like Jane Mansfield, she just had to look like her father. Sigh

The right needs to understand that there is no peaceful coexistence with leftism: they are at war with you, your country, nature itself and the future. Every law they pass is an attempt to legislate you out of existence until the only paradigm that remains is one of their making. They are compelled to do this as a moral imperative and are unable to stop. This is why there is such an obvious lack of goodwill on their part; they push as hard as they can as fast as they can until they are stopped by circumstance, and not before. Even then, the respite is only until they regroup and figure out a new angle of attack.

In Chapter 55 of It’s All Turning To Shit, the NT today removed all testing restrictions for interstate travel there.
Instead you’re given a handful of RATs on arrival and told to fill in an online form when you get some saying that a) you took the test, and b) it was negative.
Riiiight. I’ll be sure to fill that form in…. appropriately.

One punter moaning on how it’s allegedly taken 14 days to get a PCR test result.
Rory: If you’re feeling ok after 14 days you’re fine.
This is the same NT Gummint that ten days ago bought four refrigerated shipping containers, ostensibly to use as morgues to cope with the avalanche of imminent death facing its ‘vulnerable people’ (the full blood indig).
Yesterday they decided that anyone entering a hospital in the NT would have to be in the spot tested beforehand.
It lasted less than a day when the deep thinkers behind this scheme worked out that people were waiting for five hours in queues and missing chemo appointments, giving birth and such. Scrapped.
Geniuses.
On the spot. Tested on the spot.
Not tested in the spot. That would be a new indignity.

Slight problem in that their test suffered from false positives, and they were forced to recall 2,200,000+ of the tests.

C’mon man! 🙂

bern,
I am convinced that there is a significant proportion of the population who want to get tested AND get a positive result, in order to a) justify their paranoia over the last two years, b) get up on the cross and say ‘I told you all this would happen’, c) play the martyr for a week or so and d) blame somebody else.

If, in a bizarre parallel universe, the Victorian Coalition were competent, they’d shut up about this till after the Open then start campaigning hard on it.
They needn’t even nail their colours to the mast – just ask Maximum Leader at every opportunity “are vaxxes necessary or not?”.
Maybe get hecklers to follow him round wearing tennis gear.
Having worked for a company that develops lateral flow test kits, the manufacturing cost per test is around $0.15 – 0.20. The only place you can make them for that price is in China.
If you made them in Australia, they’d have to sell for $50 per test rather than $10.

Not now possibly, but he was easy to talk to several years ago when he was running sideways on my street with the entourage unable to keep up. It was funny. I was sitting in my office, I heard a commotion and looked out the window. I saw a dude running up the street (sideways was later) and a bunch of guys talking loudly were following him. I thought it was a fight. I then saw them coming down the street and saw them repeat the same shit with the tall dude running sideways. It’s a pretty steep street so it was some effort and he had to be pretty fit. I walked out to the street and realized it was a tennis player but ha forgotten his name. I asked him if he was “that tennis ” player and he responded really nicely. We talked for a short while. Our niece who was doing her medical residency at the time and staying with us was standing on the landing besotted by the dude. He was very nice and polite.

Or will she just run dead on it, which is her MO for the issues that don’t fit her narrative.
rocks, Joyce let me cat out of the bag in that regard. The polico meja class need to be destroyed. They are poison.
Apropos of min’s post just prior to Tom’s very cool crop, and early morning speculation prior to a big day elsewhere:
The insular fuckwittery of the medical bureaucracy and AMA is beyond question. Take that as a given, an article of faith.
It is entirely possible that – from the mountain of anecdotal information at hand – a very significant percentage of nurses and GPs both in and out of hospitals are not only extremely sceptical of the rationale behind this entire shitshow, but are livid that nobody asked them about the logistical ramifications of what the whiteboard cowboys at Fat Kid Lunchbox HQ dreamed up for them.
Either they play the game – wear the space suits, dance for The Man and go along with the narrative, or your job and house is gone because that’s all they’ve ever trained for, or are remotely competent in.
The Tik Tokkers haven’t got time for Tok Tikking now because they’re busy dealing with several kilometres’ worth of enraged motorists who’ve queued for nine hours for a PCR test Gummint told them to have, and who have been turned away and told to start again tomorrow.
The ones in hospitals are flat tit-o-rama because quite a few of their colleagues have either been given the boot for non-vaxxing, or they’ve gone down with the coof cold so can’t turn up to work anyway, because Gummint spake thusly.
Statistically, the entire medical profession cannot all be cockheads.
I truly hope the non-cockhead cohort loudly and publicly bites its master during the imminent death throes of this entirely unnecessary panic.

Paywallian:
Novak Djokovic has been granted an exemption to compete in the 2022 Australian Open.
Following months of uncertainty over the defending champion’s vaccination status and whether he would compete for a 10th title, Djokovic has confirmed he will be in Melbourne for the slam which starts January 17.
On Instagram he wrote: “happy new year I’ve spent time with my loved ones and today I’m heading down under with an exemption permission. Let’s go 2022.”
A vaccine mandate is in place at tournaments this summer, including the Australian Open, but tournament director Craig Tiley on Sunday confirmed a number of players had been granted exemptions.
At that stage, Tiley said he was still unaware whether Djokovic would head to Melbourne or not – but foreshadowed an imminent announcement.
A spokesman for the Victorian government said the government had worked closely with Tennis Australia to set up an “independent and rigorous process” to assess requests for medical exemptions at the Australian Open.
“Any player who is granted a medical exemption will have gone through a two-stage, independent process to verify they have a genuine medical condition that meets the criteria for an exemption,” the spokesman said.
“Requests for a medical exemption are first made to Tennis Australia and they complete the first medical assessment.
“If approved by the independent panel set up by Tennis Australia, the application is then reviewed by the Independent Medical Exemption Review Panel (IMERP), which was established by the Victorian Department of Health.
“IMERP is made up of three highly qualified medical professionals, with expertise in cardiology, sports medicine and immunology.
“The personal information of any applicant is redacted to ensure the independence of the process.”
The final TA-organised charter flights are set to arrive in Australia this week.
Djokovic was a late withdrawal from Serbia’s ATP Cup team currently competing in Sydney.
Should he win a 10th title in Melbourne, Djokovic would edge ahead of Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal with a total of 21 grand slam trophies to his name.
For months speculation over Djokovic’s vaccination status has been rife. Well known for his anti-vax sentiments, the Serbian has refused to confirm if he has been immunised against Covid saying it was information for his knowledge only.
Once it was announced that all players contesting the Open would have to prove their vaccination status, Djokovic’s father accused organisers of “blackmail.”
Last month, Victorian Sports Minister Martin Pakula said that if Djokovic chose not to be vaccinated and was not accepted by the expert committee, he would not play in the Australian Open.
“In order to enter the tournament, he must have a good excuse to explain the reason for their non-vaccination,” Pakula said at the time.
“If people think that we have done this to try to give Djokovic a chance to play the tournament they are very wrong. Everyone who participates must be vaccinated or have a significant reason why they have not.
“It is not up to me, or the Prime Minister, or any other politician to determine whether or not he can play the tournament. It will be assessed by a committee of experts.”

Nooooo Sorry Tom.
What other places of work can have “expert committees” deciding who can participate in work & those who can’t?
rickw, you should ask your work for your case to be heard by the same two “expert committees” that heard the Joker’s case.

My prediction is that Lisa Wilkinson etc to shamelessly (is there any other kind) put this on ScoMo saying it’s up to him to ban him from entering Australia.
With zero mention of Tennis Australia or the Victorian government.

Excellent comment for page podium, Tom!

Apparently morning news showing rows of empty shelves in supermarkets in part of their OMGOmicron we’re all going to die-eeee and also staaaarve! bulletin.
It’s on again.
Let’s see if this is the time the idiots finally get eaten by the wolf. Unless they’re so rancid even he spits them out.
Just been reading these three articles:
What If The Largest Experiment On Human Beings In History Is A Failure? (Dr. Robert Malone, 4 Jan)
Dr. McCollough Says Outpatient Treatments For COVID-19 Have Been Suppressed (3 Jan)
Governments Admit Using ‘Mass Formation Psychosis’ As Tool of Population Control (4 Jan)
It’s not the entire medical profession, but it is the entire medical administrative apparatus. They’ve become actual jackbooted totalitarian fascists.
On top of that what they are forcing onto people is medically in error and is much more harmful than helpful. It’s as if the complete medical administration had suddenly decided to enforce homeopathy on everyone and exclude any other treatment methods. It’s crazy and evil.
It seems to me highly likely that the word has gone out to the very well paid and compliant doctors associated with various famous sporting organisations and their stars that Brian’s childhood asthma must be medically certified as ‘ongoing’ and that Felicity’s various sprains must be declared auto-immune sinovitis etc etc. Obviously, these atheletes cannot have a vaxx and thus must be exempted. The cardiology, sports medicine and immunology specialists who then lend their name, for a price, to this ‘committee work’ are thus sagely able to give the nod and please a number of political masters.
I guess that is one way of looking at it.
As much as I dislike Djokovic, I think the decision to allow him to compete has defeated the idiots who determine health regulations in this country.
I suspect that his considerable resources has allowed him to challenge the ban on actual immunological considerations. We know he had the most ferocious original Wuhan strain which will have given him immunity to further infection from Covid if you ascribe to the opinion of the world’s foremost immunologists. My guess is that he threatened them with legal action with huge repercussions for Victoria if he won .
On “boys who cry wolf”, just looked at this from PJW on the sidebar.
SAGE in GB predicted 3-5,000 deaths from Omicron. So far 48, and not all these from Omicron which is negligible. I presume the effects of the Delta infection are still hanging around.
The whole thing appears to have run out of puff. But these medical statisticians and modellers want to remain in the limelight now they have a taste of it.
I don’t understand why anyone would get ‘tested’ for wuflu. If you’re not sick there is no need, if you do have symptoms you’re told to stay home till you recover, so there’s no need to know if it’s wuflu. There seems to be no specific wuflu treatments as we’re not permitted Ivermectin etc so what’s the point in knowing why you have cold/flu symptoms? Plus the PCR test seems to be rather unreliable and really isn’t fit for the purpose. I have no idea of how accurate the RAT test is but what’s the point?
Yesterday I posted an example experiment by one of the Beloved’s golf buddies. Three tests in an hour – neg, pos, neg.
I don’t think they’re particularly reliable, based on that. Maybe he was a little bit covidy, but made a miraculous recovery!
Media Follies Today
1. ABC running another “Great Barrier Reef threatened by warming” story.
2. Gabriel Gatehouse of the BBC has done a few podcasts about “Q-anon” types in the USA. Professing to be “open minded”, Gabriel managed to say that (i) there is no evidence of any election fraud during the 2020 election, and (ii) infer that those right leaning people he was observing at their conference were mostly believers that there is a vast satanic pedophile group within the USA polity. He did say that they were very polits, however.
I don’t know if I can be bothered listening to all his output on this topic since I got no hint at all that he feels there’s anything problematic about the Democrats at this time.
Polite, ffs.

Police open criminal probe into U.K. vaccine rollout after medical dissenter’s legal challenge.
“You do not experiment on humans, and consent must be freely given without coercion and include a discussion about alternative treatments … and an individual’s material risk of developing covid-19 or actually coming to harm from it.” said English GP Dr. Sam White.

“Novak Djokovic has been granted an exemption to compete in the 2022 Australian Open.”
Righhhhhhhhht…….I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Quite honestly this news has left me speechless (something that doesn’t happen very often) but I shouldn’t be surprised. This hypocrisy has been going on for twenty months. Beginning with Scumbag Morrison right down to the vomit that makes up our MSM, we ordinary Australians have been gaslighted, we’ve been lied to, we’ve been spat upon, we’ve been shat upon, we’ve been smeared and we’ve been denigrated……if we dare question or criticise this whole Covid narrative and particularly the unholy trinity of lockdowns, vaccination and vaccine passports. But if you’re rich, if you’re famous, if you’re the world’s numero uno tennis player, you get a free pass……you get a vaccination exemption. This is now Australia in 2022. It’s beyond a parody. It’s worse than a two tier society……it’s so broken it’s not funny. I’m curious as to why these celebrities and tennis players are never denounced and smeared as far-right, anti-vaxxer, Nazi white supremacists. Why don’t I see Bill Shorten on television smearing these tennis players and celebrities as “Nazis”. Why don’t I see Daniel Andrews smearing this tennis player as “selfish”. Why? Because they’re not you and me, because they’re not ordinary Australians.
Since day one celebrities and those who are rich and famous have been given special exemptions. Not for them to quarantine in some dingy one bedroom Meriton unit in inner city Sydney or Melbourne. NO…NO….they’ve been given special allowance to quarantine in their mansions.
Being a lover of history, I used to wonder what it was like to live in societies on the edge of destruction and revolution, France in the late 1780s and St Petersburg in 1916. I now understand…..the anger I feel is palpable.
Having had major surgery a month ago, I wouldn’t have been allowed to have had that surgery without being double vaxxed, despite paying my Medicare levy and my private health insurance. And yet a Serbian tennis player by the name of Novak Djokovic is given special permission to fly into Melbourne and play tennis.
I think it’s time we spat back, I think it’s time we shat back.
Where’s the guillotine?
AW, two things about leftards:
1. They can’t believe there is anyone on earth who doesn’t think like them.
2. They think the reason that the US courts refused to hear cases about 2020 election fraud means that there wasn’t any.
Leftards are not only stupid and uneducated, they’re irrational and can’t be reasoned with.

Clown Show!
Both Reuters and AP admit the Covid tests are EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE and you can get a false positive from TAP WATER, if you want to bunk off work or school.

Nephew is a close contact of a mate who tested positive, thanks Mum.
My brother says forget about a test until they chase you. Mummy takes the twenty year old off for a test, thanks Mum.

Please calli.
Not so soon after the page turn.
Please don’t uptick my page turn joke.
I beg you.
Djokovic has confirmed he will be in Melbourne for the slam which starts January 17.
Oh the ironing, January 17 is the official date of my termination for being an unvaxxed pleb.
Money for the media and prestige for politicians.
A huge amount of money is invested by networks in sport, whether it be the AO, Olympics, cricket…whatever. They are not going to shit in their money- making machine, neither are they going to call the others out because it will be tit for tat. Soooo…it remains the cash cow in the room and will stay that way until it runs out of money.
Will the compliant vaxxed complain? Possibly. Most likely they will shrug and turn their attention on the hapless sods who turn up to shop maskless.
I wouldn’t put Djokovic in it. Like Rickw, he wants to work without being vaxxed.
His work is simply more “essential” in the twisted minds of the media and our politicians, so he gets a pass.
“I wouldn’t put Djokovic in it. Like Rickw, he wants to work without being vaxxed.”
The guillotine isn’t for Djokovic…..it’s for our political and MSM scum.
Cheers to the Joker getting his exemption.
Jeers to the double standard & the whole charade surrounding exemptions.
What is it with these kidults being run around by their mothers for a stupid sniffles test? At that age me kids would have told me to bugger off and mind my own business.
If we argue that Djokovic should not have been allowed entry then we are affirming the COVID narrative, that we approve of mandates, etc.
A Plato’s cave scenario.
And I would think that that the sinisters of spring street could make mileage out of any ‘unfair’ backlash to Djokovic and so affirm their moral right to past and ongoing contemptible behaviour.
No, I’m glad that Djokovic is here. And vic state needs the tennis money.
Gunner & his mates just wanted to work & put food on the table.
So does Djokovic.
So does rickw.
Spot the odd one out.
Disappointed that Djokovic even applied for an exemption entry. I thought he had the right combination of principle and f-off money. He was looking onboard for one of the only two moral responses to the Batflu Fascism- nil participation.
Right now, I’d like to see him go on and win, despite the boo’ong Melbun manbun crowd which hated him all the way through his first AO win.
But I think that Cats should best forgive him as a man, and keep the focus on the real perpetrators of the farce, the hoops and the loopholes- the Lizard People.

How can you possibly derive that from what’s been posted this morning ?
“If we argue that Djokovic should not have been allowed entry then we are affirming the COVID narrative, that we approve of mandates, etc.”
Did you ever do comprehension at school?
Remind me-
before the jab mandate which they promised would never happen, there was the mask mandate which they said would never happen (fourteen days to flatten the curve, remember?).
I flew around a bit claiming a medical exemption, hardly raised any eyebrows, but was brought undone by this one fat lump of pommy bile, because he resented me for getting away with it.
*reminds me
Just saw this in the Liberty Quotes
I like it, because it’s true.
If we argue that Djokovic should not have been allowed entry then we are affirming the COVID narrative, that we approve of mandates, etc.
I think you’re right enough.
Bern, Cassie, I think that you’re saying Djokovic should not qualify for entry under the current system, the system which is crippling the proles and which the powerful tear apart, and I’m with you there too.
Consolation, this is throwing more daylight upon the corrupting powers that be, and their appointments, exemptions, fast-tracks, fudges, obfuscation and buck-passing.
