I think he won’t do it but I would, turn around and catch the next plane out of here.
He can always get an other grand slam victory somewhere more friendly.
My niece, who attended the Melbourne protests with me, has just succumbed this week, too.
An exceptionally intelligent women, with a great future ahead of her, who was wisely concerned about the longer term impacts of the vaccine, especially on her womanly functions. She had gone through much due to her stance, including social ostracism, losing her part time jobs, and not being able to attend her graduation (where she was awarded dux).
They won’t accept her enrolment into University without a vaccination certificate. It was the final straw. Very upset, very disheartened. This is like injecting long term uncertainty into people. No wonder the kids are having mass anxiety issues.
Fucking bastards.
My nephew and his wife, both double vaccinated, have come down with Omicron.
Seeing as we have dumped Foxtel, does anyone know how to get Sky After Dark on their teev otherwise?

Sorry – Cassie.

KD, Vic has probably borrowed that bush pig Lambie from Tassie and has her, as we type, on a leash, frothing and gnashing, raring to go with the threats etc.

There is a deafening silence in the media about RFK Jr’s devastating accusations against Fauci in his new book.
Normally the Globalist media rushes to defend Fauci when he is attacked (see e.g. when Rand Paul does it).
But there is nothing in the media to defend Fauci against the detailed allegations in the book of Fauci propagating the AIDS/HIV Hoax, Experimenting on orphaned children in NY without consent, or deliberately suppressing cheap and highly effective treatments for Covid, all of which cost thousands of lives.
Fauci himself has not disputed the allegations, but merely issued a very weak and baseless ad hominem attack against RFK
Does this mean the allegations are true?
Djokovic’s dad threatens to ‘gather on the streets’ if star isn’t let into Australia

Tennis Dads – sheesh!
I would have thought Srdan had enough experience of catastrophically failed government to realise he’s not really helping little Novak.

Mate, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s one of the more terrifying potential long term effects of jabbing the whole population if rendering women unable to have children.

There is nothing to learn from RFK as he is a devoted, leftwing anti-vax zealot (all vaxes, not just covid) and would sit comfortably in the Australian greens. If RFK had his way, every single type of disease eradicated through vaccines would race back to torment humanity. There are obvious concerns with covid vaxes, but these aren’t the only ones RFK is advocating against. He’s against ALL of them. We know Fauci is a self-admitted liar and has no standing to be discussing anything to do with public health so there’s nothing knew to learn there. Spend more time in the kitchen instead of the web and I promise you will be in a healthier mental state than you are now. Stay away from the web as it’s not good for you. Think about a food recipe you can create for this evening. How about very slow cooked lamb?

Djokovic visa cancelled in sensational twist
Novak Djokovic has had his visa cancelled in an incredible twist to the on going saga surrounding the world No 1 player.
Cassie, what are you paying for the service? We’re paying $139 a month and because they were forced to go through satellite , we’ve had their techs in and they are fucking useless as they’re unable to run the sat system through ours. I’m using my Iphone to connect Foxtel through Apple TV if I don’t want to watch live. They are just useless.
Whoops new..
“Cassie, what are you paying for the service? “
$99 per month…..that’s everything.
Fucking bastards.

Visa cancelled?

Do you have to go through their satellite system or do they have a streaming service and if they do, can you access the free to air? It’s impossible to call the morons because they go through Asian call centres and those idiots don’t know what they’re doing.
PS. You can understand why turd world countries are turd world. They’re totally incompetent and lie just to get you off the phone.
“RFK as he is a devoted, leftwing anti-vax zealot “
Quite so JC. RFK and Fauci are both highly unsavoury individuals.
From the main cat:
I like his description of scumo.
Thanks rugbyskier…does that get Outsiders when it comes back?
Sounds Indian, or thereabouts. They are famous for losing the whole family when it comes to drowning for some reason. One gets into trouble, another dives in to help, gets into trouble, another dives in to help and so on. The soccer ball is a new twist.
“JCsays:

JC, my Foxtel package is through my Telstra NBN and I can stream whatever. I can also access Netflix through my Foxtel set up. And yes, I can access free to air though I rarely watch it. The only free to air channel I occasionally watch is SBS….they still have some excellent documentaries.
This is the pic accompanying the story in the Oz.
That’s what the Oz offers the readership early in the morning to wake them up out of their slumber.
Foxtel is a bad business model. They force you to choose a “package” of channels. I suggested to them a better fit would be charging X dollars a month for each channel, rather than $65 for eighty channels, most of which I didn’t want.
Fruity and explains a lot.
I know there’s comfort in talking about “Nuremberg 2.0” and imagining all sorts of retribution.
Nuremberg 1.0 was imposed by the clear victors, and over a sea of war dead. The Covid scandal is a lot less clear cut.
I want to see the perpetrators of this crime punished in this life. However, I am not as optimistic about it as some.
Is that anything like someone wishing another “would get a clot and die”?
Scumo
“I’ve sniffed the opinion polls arse and decided to abandon any principle of fair dealing in our visa entry system to score likes with the worst people in society. I’m a Christian you know.”
Djokovic has been pistol-booed.
Clearly full of rabies and parasites.
Australia has been saved from Certain Death.
The whole shit fight is laid out in the Age piece. It’s rather alarming that nobody seems to know whether the visa exemption was granted by Tennis Australia, doctors, the Department of Immigration, or Djokovic himself.
Pure Third World.
I don’t know much about RFK apart from hearing him speak recently but I wouldn’t put them in the same sentence. Fauci, self-evidently, is a lying, cheating, conscienceless mass murderer and RFK is, at least now, standing up for freedom of choice and and self determination. Polar opposites, in fact.
Wonder if Australian tennis has any exposure to legal liability from the decision against Djokovic. That would be a shame.
Meanwhile, how many thousands of people are we allowing in on highly suspect vaxx certifications?
Whoops! Don’t ask, don’t tell.
We’ve now tried both models, Ender , and both aren’t great. We’ve tried bundling, which is the Foxtel model adopted from the US cable companies and we’re now trying the un-bundled example where you sign up to all sorts of shit like Netflix, Stan, Disney, Paramount etc. Neither model is ideal, but I think eventually we’ll end up with some sort of bundled model with major changes. Neither works well, I think, at the moment. We’re in the un-bundled stage now because of Netflix. All the movie studios saw the PE ratio Netflix was trading on and wanted a bit of that for themselves. I guess, in a way the market was telling them all to un-bundle and go their own way, but it’s not a great model for consumers. We’ll see.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s prosecutors seek inquiry into juror’s sexual abuse claim
Pre trial, Maxwell’s jurors had been asked whether they or family members had personally experienced sexual abuse or assault.
This dude answered ‘no’.
An incredibly rare case of jury failure.
Obviously Prince Andrew can have full confidence in the US legal system.
So, apparent Djokovic is being booted.
I don’t know much about RFK Jnr but Barnes speaks well of him so I’ll give him a hearing.
A decent percentage I’d guess. It’s based on trust. There’s nothing to stop a doc or nurse from pretending to administer a shot but instead drain the needle into the sink in the room for a decent cash deal. When it’s based on that level of trust, you can bet 100% there’s skullduggery going on. But look, if it’s a way of avoiding the mandate then so be it because people should never be compelled to stick something in their bodies against their will.
Thick fingers, small screen.
Apologies to everyone I have accidentally outed as Graeme Bird.
Would you give an anti-vax Adam Bandt a hearing, because that’s who you’re dealing with.
Faustus, being a victim or a family member of a victim of serious crime is a reason to be exempted from jury duty in this country.
Lying about his previous experience would be considered contempt, or perhaps tampering. Showboating about it afterwards shows a stunning level of stupidity. I hope they throw the book at him.
Border patrol personnel are also scientists, in their own way.
Victims make bad judges.
The Hun:
‘The Herald Sun understands that three other players with similar exemptions to Djokovic’s have already entered the country without incident, and that the world No. 1’s lawyers are already preparing to challenge the ruling in court.’
Ba ha haha haha.
They certainly picked the wrong bloke to staple their virtue to. It doesn’t matter any more whether Djokovic stays or goes, and it doesn’t matter how long the revolving ‘it was someone else’s decision’ carousel creaks along for.
This country’s idiot governments are now facing what they feared most – being called dickheads by the rest of the world.
TopEnder, I believe so. I watch Outsiders on the Foxtel channel but I think Sky News Regional would show it as well as it’s usually the highest rating show and Southern Cross Austereo would like to get the ad revenue.
And our governments are compelling them to lie about it.
Djokovic was honest and, like all honest people in sick societies, is being punished.
We should hang our heads in shame. Instead, our leaders will be parading their righteousness.

Pure greed! when Foxtel had the monopoly over pay-for-view it worked well as they could foist 90% of their, contracted, channels onto the subscriber who little choice but accept them .. but with all the various streamers coming into play the Foxtel model is no longe rviable sooo lotza whinge-ing!
Personally, I always download TV, movies to suit me .. tho I do have a subscription with PARAMOUNT as they have the ALeague rights, kid next door has OPTUS so gets the Premier League and we swapped passwords so we both can watch all the “fitba” … I’ve never watched anything else on Paramount tho.

They’re lying. A decent portion of their constituency is anti-vax anyway. They were against nuclear medicine until the time that we mocked them incessantly on the old Catallaxy when Jason Soon was running it. Someone alerted them and they took it off their manifesto. I’m pretty sure it was the quinnator who advised them.
It’s the same with vaccination. They just lying to keep their head above water. RFK in Australia would be vying with Bandt to run the Greens. He’s a moron and we’d be battling anthrax now if RFK had a say.

But seriously, why do we need RFK to tell us Fauci is a dipshit? Like, there’s not enough on the web about the lying arsehole?
Stop it, JC. My dick just fell off.

Shame the platform doesn’t allow any of those little slavic squiggles. Enough readers here to get the meaning though.
And there was ScoMo, driven into the ambush and sewn into his need to be popular.
All the original greens were run out of the greens by the Bandt technocratic communists ten years ago. Bandt is self described marxist , coercive mass vaccination was a hallmark of communist countries to prove state ownership over mind and body.
How did you miss all this?
That would be “cyrillic” not slavic.
Stix
You’re calling me old fashioned and behind the times while simultaneously describing Bandt as a throw back to the old commies. Have you been drinking? If Bandt is the old stereotype commie piece of shit, he wouldn’t be talking about the ‘vironment in the way he does. He would be polluting the shit out of it like the old commies did.

Bonnie and Clyde we’re not….
IN A BIZARRE series of events, police have laid charges after an elderly couple who went missing were located in a remote part of Central Australia, having travelled more than 1500km across the country.
Carol Lisle, 84, and Ralph “Terry” Gibbs, 80, were found with the assistance of truck drivers and local police on Tuesday, near the settlement of Warakurna in Western Australia, just shy of the Northern Territory border.
Ms Lisle, who is wheelchair-bound and has dementia and Parkinson’s disease, disappeared from a care facility in Mandurah, south of Perth on Sunday afternoon.
WA Police say Gibbs went to visit Ms Lisle at her care facility that day. Police allege when an opportunity presented itself, the 80-year-old removed her from the facility and placed her into his vehicle and drove away.
At the time, the man did not have the legal authority to remove the woman from the care facility, and the woman was incapable of making such a decision for herself, according to police.
It is further alleged Gibbs had planned to remove the woman from the facility and leave Western Australia, having made some preliminary preparations before the visit.
According to police, the manner in which Gibbs prepared and executed his plan put Ms Lisle’s health and safety at risk during the time spent in the vehicle, having not considered the high level of medical care the woman requires.
Gibbs was charged with deprivation of liberty and endanger life, health or safety of a person. He was refused bail and flown to Perth, and was due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

But that’s securely stored in the forgetery now that the Dems desperately need to shove something down the throats of Americans.
Top Ender, I don’t quite know how this works, but we have a Foxtel sub which comes with one extra ‘away from home’ sub which we have given to my eldest son, the one with the autistic child. They can watch anything they like from Foxtel via that. Do you have a friend with a sub who is not using the ‘away from home’ log in? Maybe you could ‘borrow’ it.
That’s if their packages still contain this sub. We repackaged with an upgrade a few months ago and the absentee sub still seems to operate for our kids. If we are no longer supposed to have it I hope they haven’t noticed.

Scott Morrison
(@ScottMorrisonMP)
Mr Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled. Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders. No one is above these rules. Our strong border policies have been critical to Australia having one of the lowest death rates in the world from COVID, we are continuing to be vigilant.
What a massive, swollen infected pus weeping bellend he is.
I did say last night the ball was in Morrison’s court:
“Mr Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled. Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders. No one is above these rules.”
If “rules are “rules why was he granted entry in the first instance?
Presumably because he either complied with those rules or was granted an exemption.
Now that decision has been reversed due to political intervention based on popular clamour.
Remember the days when Australians wanted politics kept out of sport?
A dark day.
It appears that 15 tour players/team members have been allowed in on exemption grounds.
Which raises the important question: does the Moron Government suffer more from:
• Doing a backflip, with pike and arse dismount?; or
• Being dragged through the Courts/AAT explaining the fine-detail paperwork distinctions?; or
• Hard-arseing Djokovic out and eating the fallout- trashing the Australian Open brand; Tennis Stars to boycott 2023; China offers to stage new Grand Slam – etc, etc?
We will soon learn the answer, as Moron will unhesitatingly pick the shit sandwich…
SloMo clearly unable to resist the lure of cheap populism. I don’t know exactly how but expect the Djokovic visa to come back and bite him on the bum. In the meantime it will go down well with the Koch-heads.
The tennis pistolboo (h/t calli) is a perfect illustration of modern Strayan politics.
For months Hunchback and ScoMo and their respective minions have thrown the Djokovic issue back and forth like a hand grenade with the pin out.
As soon as Hunchback blinks and gets his five elf committees to give it the nod, hairy chested ScoMo runs of the bench shadow-boxing at everyone.
FMD!
I hope fat Cloive funds Jokers court costs.
I’m guessing he failed to complete a dictation test using the supplied broken Bic and waxed paper.
So do we know who these alleged 2 panels that granted the exemption are and who sits on them. Any j’ismist asked that little question?
My call is the panels don’t exist or were the one person in the bureaucracy. Sounds distinctly like mates rates deal done between the governments in Canberra and Melbourne & Tennis Australia. I smelt bovine excrement all over this yesterday when I couldn’t find any reference to them outside news stories.

As we chat, Mike van Erp keeps glancing at the line of vehicles queueing on the road in Hyde Park, London. Suddenly, he spots something. “Here we go,” he says, swinging around his sensible-looking blue touring bike, and pedalling away from the traffic lights. He edges along the stationary vehicles until he is parallel to a car. It is well over a minute before the driver looks up and spots him – and the camera strapped to his baseball cap.
When he returns, a grinning Van Erp tells me the man reacted badly to the realisation he was being caught on camera. Why the fury? The driver was using his phone as he waited for the traffic to move – and Van Erp recorded him doing it. In the coming months the man will most likely face a fine and six points on his driving licence, in turn triggering a significant jump in his insurance premium.
Van Erp, a 49-year-old professional carer, says he has now reported close to 1,000 law-breaking drivers to the police, with about 80% facing prosecution. After any court proceedings are finished, he posts the footage on his YouTube channel.

The entire Gillard years on old catallaxy was backdropped by talk about how the communists had coopted the environmental movement and were officially taking over the greens. Gillard literally wrote about doing it.
I know you were there!
And nevertheless, for you it’s all theory, for me, I’m surrounded by technocractic, vaccination nazi, Science! worshipping, communistic, marx sympathetic greens voters who wear fashionable environmentalism as a dead skin suit to implement this lunatic class’s total control over society.
I have a name you might want to consider before you hang your hat on that statement.

20-30% of the Australian population have had their brains broken
I’m tipping it’s more like 80 – 90%
I’ve long thought that between 85% to 95% of the human race was a waste of space and oxygen.
Presented here as a public service as the press most certainly won’t.
Schumer, then – In 2005, Democrat Chuck Schumer said eliminating the filibuster would “be a doomsday for Democracy.”
Schumer, now – Schumer Threatens to Nuke Filibuster If GOP Stands Ground on Voting Bill
Apparently the filibuster is only a keystone of democracy when the Republicans have the majority.

I agree with most of your angry missive, but let’s focus on the ball. Is RFK a trusted “sauce”? 🙂 Yes or no?
In a way he is.
– We took the Freestone Road out Warwick Qld the other day rather than the Cunningham Highway, and were surprised to see fantastic rich farming land covered in thousands of solar panels.
– Thousands of hectares of trees are being chopped down in northern Queensland for windmills and associated roads.
– Thousands of bats and birds being killed by windmills
Thanks for that Lizzie. We share our Netflix sub in that way, with three other people.
If they were 100 percent sure yesterday.
Presume it’s changed today.
Vicki:
Close, but needs:
It will, but we’re not Robinson Crusoe in that regard.
Dutch police, for e.g., were recently filmed using excessive violence on anti-lockdown protesters, and Holland has a much greater reputation and history of being pro-liberty than we do.
Calls to swap cloth masks for respirators to counter Omicron wave
Only one response to that shit is appropriate.

Novak: I am not getting vaxxed so probably won’t be allowed to go to Australian Open
Various Idiot Australian Pollies: Yeah, no exemptions!!! Stay away Novak.
Australian Authorities: This is the process to apply for an exemption
Novak: Ok, done!
Australian Authorities: OK, you are approved.
Novak: OK, see you soon…………………………………
Australian authorities: Actually we are going to send you back.(Little bit too much of a uproar).
Honestly, my Dear Lord. We are the dumbest, stupidest people alive. We are shameful.
Anyone who’s now not giving the entire vaccine coercion / surveillance apparatus that’s been built over the last 15 years a second look with a jaundiced eye isn’t being real to themselves.
This massive apparatus that is being unleashed upon the world right now didn’t just suddenly spring up in 18 months. It’s a minor extension of what was already built 2004-2019 and has been operating without mercy for children and their parents, and is now being extend to apply to cover adults.
In Australia this system was largely built by Scott Morrison himself.
The Djokovic visa will be the first time most people have heard about Australia since Crocodile Dundee. International laughing stock is about right.
This Djoker imbroglio seems to become more ridiculous by the minute and prompts many questions, including the following.
Have other players been allowed visas who’ve not been vaxxed? (Apparently yes). Who are they?
Who initially approved the Djoker’s visa?
Why are Morristeen and Ghunt claiming that no one is above the country’s entry requirements when this is clearly not the case? (e.g. various Hollyweirdos).
If the Djoker is punted, what does that do to interest in the tournament? What are his chances of successfully appealing the visa withdrawal? Will he ever bother returning here if he is punted?
Is it possible for Goose Morristeen to look like an even bigger knobhead than he already does? (rhetorical, Cats, as we all know the answer).
Let the blundering continue.
And libertarians were warning about big government all through that era. How about that, hey! 🙂
Roger, you are assuming Andrews survives the next Victorian state election on Saturday, November 26, 2022.
He probably will but, after two years of Andrews government lockdowns and public service incompetence led by the activist buffoon Brett Sutton, Victorian politics are volatile.

On train travel, I caught the train back to Perth after abandoning Melbournibad in the early 90s. Two days from memory. A saving grace I did book a sleeper though I’m pretty sure I didn’t get any sleep. After booking my flight the original Compass was launched and I could have flown home for about $250 (admittedly 1990 dollars).
Morale – leave train travel to Tim Fisher and old farts.
Overnight land-based mass transport is a nightmare (or would be if you could get any sleep).
A friend and I decided to travel that way from Melbourne to Albury, doing about half the overnight journey. Pretty much the whole journey a fellow passenger was yelling out “there’s something wrong with this bus. I can tell. I’m a trained mechanic. There’s something wrong with this bus. I can tell. I’m a trained mechanic…[and on and on.]”.
Which would have been worrying except we were travelling by train.
Top Ender:
If that’s the case, how do they know which channels are losing money and costing them resources they could put into the successful ones?
It looks to me that they are deliberately refusing a price signal to allocate those resources.
I’d be happy to spend $20 a month for a couple of channels I like, but to hell with the idea of $100 a month for two channels I like and 43 I never watch.
They’re lying to save what’s left of their political skins.
Pathetic, eh?
Foxtel offer you things like “the movie pack” with 18 channels of movies; half just being a duplicate in HD. Then about 50 channels of sport, and the Tv series channel or two and so on.
Or you could go the Documentary pack, which is National Geo and 14 channels of movies, and 5 channels of sport.
Or the History pack – the same except with the Hitler channel – sorry, History channel – and as above.
Or the Sports Pack – 15 channels of sport, and some movie channels etc.
Usually for about $70 a month.
It does come with a hard drive, so you can avoid adverts in you have copied something from one of the channels which have ads.
You can only copy two things at a time though.
You forget that they can track whatever you watch through their boxen/software, so they can tell exactly what and how long you are watching so no price signal needed as their data is much more granular.
How many cheered for No Jab / No Play / No Pay?
I remember it.
People sounding the alarm bells about the system being built to be used to ‘lock out’ toddlers, all the way up to 2019 were assaulted with bi-yearly, becoming tri-yearly media pogroms against a strawman caricature called “antivaxxers”. People who should have known better lazily joined in on the media / twitter / mob pile ons – many understandably being too busy fighting a million other cultural battles to bother with parents with young children being subject to this new and advanced system of totalitarian coercion, surveillance, threats and ‘mandates’ before mandates were officially uncool.
What was happening, was 2010ish on, each year a fresh generation of fresh young parents would have their precious babies, then quickly start to learn the vast scale and incredibly totality of the vaccine apparatus and state’s claim of ownership over their children that has been built in the last 15 years. 5, 10, 15 ‘jabs’ for your toddler. Do not miss a single one, do not be a day late, you and your child will be punished and excluded efficiently and quickly. We see you, there is no escape, there are no exemptions (thanks Scott Morrison), there is no excuse, and you are a bad person and a selfish person and a bad parent if you so much as complain about this system.
Each new wave, a portion of parents would naturally react against the system, kick up a fuss on principle about the tyranny of it and so a caricature of the ‘anti-vaxxer’, like the ‘covidiot’ or the ‘trump voter’ was born in the bowels of public health and pharma marketing departments to suppress the new-parent angst. And each year, like clockwork, fake media wars were waged against the image of ‘anti-vaxxers’. Rather than the reality of concerned parents suddenly faced with, and unable to believe the vast and inescapable system of state medical control our children are now subject to. For freedom minded and forward thinking people the implications that the system we were navigating had for the future were undeniable.
This, right now, is that future.
So yes, hardcore long term actual “anti-vaxxers” like RFK, etc, are, in the same way that “crazy” Mcarthy / Bircher style anti-communists were, a valuable starting source of information about the depth, intricacies and failings, corruption of this fresh coercive vaccination system because they’re the ones who have been studying it.
You don’t have to like their interpretation of what they’ve been finding out on their travels, but you can’t deny what they’ve found.
Surprisingly, the ABC has given the most useful coverage. It would appear that Djokervic’s entry to the tournament was possible for an unvaccinated player (as he is) on three grounds:
1) a proven immune allergy to the vaccine
2) a heart condition
3) natural immunity provided by previous infection
It is almost certain that he applied for exemption on No 3. as we know that he contracted the original Wuhan strain.
But here is the kicker: his application was examined by two independent medical committees who were not informed of the identity of the applicant.
If, as appears certain, he was granted an exemption on the grounds of natural immunity, congratulations to the committees – because, for the first time that I am aware, “experts” are acknowledging in this country what is known throughout the world of Immunology (101), and that is – natural immunity trumps vaccination.
I think this is a fantastic opportunity to “follow the Science”!!!!!
Bring it on!
No they weren’t.
Here in Australia LDP insider cool kids like Yobbo were viciously attacking anyone against vaccines or state mandated mass medication or gay marriage or any other culturally popular system of state control and power expansion.
They got their answer.
It all started with CCTV, people are willing to be monitored everywhere and it practically is everywhere these days.
I doubt Foxtel even care who is watching what channel. They are forced to buy packaged content (either sport, new release or back catalogue). They would be concerned with total subscribers, av revenue per user and churn. Basically the same economics as mobile phone services. The same pricing strategy is seen across many industries.
“Have other players been allowed visas who’ve not been vaxxed? (Apparently yes). “
Originally, it was a clear ‘No Filth Allowed’:
TENNIS AUSTRALIA CEO CRAIG TILEY CONFIRMS UNVACCINATED TENNIS PLAYERS RULED OUT OF 2022 AUSTRALIAN OPEN
19/11/21
Then six weeks passed:
“Who are they?”
If I were a player, I’d probably be keeping shtum just now. My prospective winnings have probably just increased.
360° cock up.
Fuckup Fairies doffing their hats in respect.
Joker joke TL;DR.
Will they refund his dirty, filthy, unprick’d bushfire donation too?
I think we’ll find that the Feds have run a fine toothed comb over Novax’s exemption grounds and, following ATAGI’s advice, have over-ruled the exemption on the grounds that his case of covid was c. 20 months ago and Australia only accepts a 6 month window of natural immunity at present. That’s my understanding, anyway. If Djokovic goes to court we’ll likely find out more.
And you consider Yobbo the intellectual heavyweight behind libertarian thinking both here and around the world, right Stix? How Queen’s land of you.
The trouble with all of this idiocy is that it actually promotes paranoia of all kinds.
My rev-limiter just hit the limits when I came across two dudes in camouflage near my front fence at the farm with cameras with gargantuan telephoto lens (looked to be at least 40cm) pointed at my house, some 1km away.
It turns out they were just “twitchers” ……. but with the public comments I make on all sorts of venues these days……I am getting a bit “twitchy” myself!
The Djoker’s visa has been cancelled.
Great work, you knobheads.
After Nuremberg 2.0, when justice is being administered, I will happily wade knee deep through their blood and brains until the job of administering justice is done. All free of charge.
If Djokovic goes to court we’ll likely find out more.
Truth revealed in a Victorian courtroom? Don’t be silly.
Cam Reddin@CamReddin
Tennis fan Albo is currently desperately workshopping a way back to enable him to deliver: “A Labor Government that I lead will welcome Mr Djokovic to the 2023 Australian Open at Rapid Antigen Stadium…”
Utter rubbish, twostix.
And tell us, stix, what was your advocacy for smaller government as I can’t recall you busy bodying around in that space during the earlier years.
Thanks Roger. I did not know that. But I am surprised that the expert panels summoned by Tennis Australia for Vic government didn’t replicate that ruling.
Well, it’d be a Federal Court if the AAT decides it’s beyond their pay grade.

Then they ran the numbers and realised that their tournament “draw cards” consisted of Barry from Wantirna tennis club and Neville from Altona…..
This Djokovic case is yet another occasion where I can’t understand those around me and question my sanity.
Why would people celebrate him being treated this way. He is no threat to anyone. Even if he arrived coughing up omicron what difference does it make now with the virus in the wild. He is more likely to catch it here.
Morrison can’t help shooting himself in the foot. It is painful to watch the sooner he is gone the better.
Mater, sorry to hear about your niece. My daughter could not attend the same event to get her awards… science is tricky like that.
Albo should castigate ScoMo for not supplying free biohazard suits to everyone. Andrews and Sneakers should mandate them for their imperiled states. One can never be too careful.
Local tennis pros, still sporting the 70s handlebar moustaches and white Fila short shorts. Ladies!
Of course.
it’d be a Federal Court if the AAT …
Paging Judge Mordy, paging Judge Mordy
When I got Netflix I saw ‘Documentaries’ as one of the categories and eagerly selected it expecting to find as yet unviewed programs about, well Nazis of course – a documentary mainstay, history with an emphasis on people and events that contributed to our modern world (so the Aztecs would not be as prominent as the Athenians), technology, new discoveries in science, nature, and a miscellany including such things as mafia hitmen, the history of bread, the quirks of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s etc.
Alas, it was not to be.
Well represented in their bill of fare were shows about aliens and alien conspiracies, drugs, drug cartels (for the various grisly terminations of employment I expect), and shows about the various evils in the world such as fast food and capitalism.
There were a couple of shows about Obama, one being an interview with David Letterman and the other about his final year in office. There were also a few shows about Trump, all with the expected contemptuous slant.
I get the feeling the programmers are more focused on causes and activism than knowledge.
The information from the gov health site is that the vaxx can be deferred for up to 6 months since past infections reduce the chance for reinfection for ‘at least 6 months’.
That it can be deferred for up to 6 months might not be the same as saying it cannot be deferred beyond 6 months – especially since it is noted that immunity is for ‘at least 6 months’.
You’re not going to do it all by yourself. Too much enjoyment at once is not good for you. Shirley we can come to an arrangement?

Wally, when I learned Russian there were 33 letters in the new “shorter” alphabet. (Compounded by about eight of the letters being totally different, or not what you’d initially expect, in diminutive form, likewise for cursive)
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Special agents involved in last year’s ‘January 6th Insurrection Against Democracy™’ are set to reunite as guests of honor at an extravagant gala hosted by the FBI. The event will reportedly feature live music and entertainment, with comedian James Corden acting as master of ceremonies.
Numerous celebrities and public figures are expected to be in attendance, including former FBI Director James Comey. “I’m really excited to be relevant again,” he said, excitedly rubbing his hands together.
According to sources, several private citizens have questioned why taxpayer money is being used to throw a lavish party for government officials. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki addressed these concerns during her daily press briefing.
“Well, first I would say, that President Biden is committed to the Build Back Better™ bill,” Psaki reasoned. “Therefore, he cares for the American people and, as such, cares deeply about how their money is utilized. So, obviously, it’s fine.”
Psaki went on to applaud the FBI for all their hard work that cannot be disclosed.
The event will not be open to the public.
Yep. I was blocked dozens of times on the old Cat for trying to get people to realize that No Jab No Pay was the beginning of the end of civilization but all I got was “who cares about parental rights and bodily autonomy? My kindergarten teacher told me the polio vaccine worked so it must be true. Now let us go back to talking about lower tax rates.”
A couple of weeks of Albo should bring on pangs of nostalgia.
Could be an crucial detail, if correct:
Reports Novax fronted up to immigration with his vax exemption documentation but a visa that did not allow for medical exemptions.
Locked in a room for 5 hours for having the wrong papers.
How very Australian c. 2022!
Wasn’t that because of the Spanish Flu.
Then they ran the numbers and realised that their tournament “draw cards” consisted of Barry from Wantirna tennis club and Neville from Altona…..
Word from Watirna is Barry is in top form. Once he completes his water aerobics class he will be at the Watirna Hotel Bistro for the early bird special and a press conference.
Neville is just playing it cool, doing the rounds and polishing the jag
Maybe they can all joke and laugh about this:
Poll: Many U.S. Voters Believe FBI Is Biden’s ‘Personal Gestapo’ (4 Jan)
Forty six percent of Americans think the FBI are now the Gestapo. I suspect given usual poll bias that will be an undercount.
That’s nice, Gray. Let’s all get in our time machines and travel back to 1919.
Were they quarantined after WWII?
Were they quarantined after Vietnam?
“If correct”
Yep!
Everything to do with Covid & borders, exemptions, etc is so opaque that I’d require confirmation that Joker’s visa was the wrong subclass.
However: (if correct) This wasn’t an automatic turn-around.
Apparently Border Farce, doing their job accurately, contacted the Victorian govt last night asking if they’d support Joker’s entry into Australia.
The Victorian govt refused to support Joker’s arrival, so he was refused entry into the country.
Gray World.
I remember years ago when the then Victorian government first sought to make it compulsory for doctors to refer-on for babies to be killed if they wouldn’t do it themselves. It was back in Jason Soon’s day at Catallaxy. He had nothing but contempt for the idea that this was an attack on liberty. It was an attack on Christianity and that was cool from his perspective. In those days, Australian libertarians would have personally manhandled George Pell into a jail cell if it meant they’d still get an invite to Mark Bahnisch’s barbecues. Totally self-absorbed cockheads with no understanding of politics.
I’ve been reading about the PNG campaigns. With all the exotic stuff the poor guys were coming down with during the fighting perhaps they should’ve been. Ghastly.

There are two sides to the abortion issue in libertarian circles. One group says that you do what you want with your body. The other side says that human life is paramount and no one has a right to terminate a potential life. It’s not as clear cut as what people suggest.
Yes, but it’s the sort of administrative detail that would have to be leaked by someone in authority, for whatever reason.
Wow that’s one for the WIP. Creepily apposite.
Just limbering up now…
He was in no way alone and you know it. He was one of the LDP cool kids and Humphrey’s maaaaate that played guardian on Australia’s ‘libertarian’ blog for years.
“Libertarianism” in Australia last decade was essentially young academic and technically minded middle class professionals who don’t like paying taxes.
