More to the point, if you have no symptoms, you cannot infect anyone.
At least you can’t if you don’t have a vaccine suppressing your symptoms.
The vaccinated are more likely to be asymptomatic “super-spreaders”, but that spoils the narrative.

Been in and out quite a bit lately*, so have missed most of the live-action leave the country debate. There’s a suggestion that this particular Jenga tower may or may not have been constructed on shifting ground in any event, so that probably didn’t assist anyone.
Briefly, my position would be this:
1. The current situation is better than it was, but is shit. For clarity – it is shit. No question.
2. The list of joints to potentially move to, and where you can do whatever you want under the benevolent hand of small government is microscopic. Until you’ve been to other countries and seen not the perpetual tourist life, but how the people in those countries live – you don’t appreciate that the grass may not be greener over there. Yes I am aware that this is comparative, and also that this is right at this moment.
2a. cohenite posted late last night on the dying thread on Brussels, and Europe more widely. As much as people like bitching about freedoms in this wide brown land, there is very little if any of that link’s nonsense in this country – even in the dark recesses of Preston, Bankstown, Broadmeadows and Liverpool.
3. I dislike the notion of moving to somewhere I perceive as better, whether family/children are involved or not, because everything here is not to my complete satisfaction. Once you’ve made that jump you’ll make it again and again, thus landing in the same ballpark as the country-shoppers so heavily discussed here.
4. If you really, really, really want to find a way to get out of the country you’ll do it. Whether or not you get to bring everything you want with you is debatable.
5. In the unlikely (yet not impossible) event that I do go, I won’t be calling everyone else fuckwits for not doing the same thing I do.
*PHRASING.
Spent the weekend at a famous foodie place in vVictoria with the new man in my life . The degustation cancelled because of Covid issues with staff so booked into bistro under same management . What would Cats think of menu item of Angus sirloin with green manure sauce ? Not kidding Chef would have to be up himself for that . Food was below average and overpriced however apart from that had a wonderful weekend , lovely mountain view from room with lots of birds to watch from window., bush walks and the friendly country people . Town dead with many places closed because of staffing issues.

Australia needs opinion leaders like this.
This is the metre thick steel wall of dead brain we have to penetrate in order for things to go back to the way they were. That, plus the MSM.
Anyone who thinks this will eventually roll back to where we were in 2019 needs to get out more.
What happens when the REAL “Booster” comes around?
Will that morph into the 4th dose?
In other words, a “treatment” not a “vaccine”.
Sadly, people who work for the various enforcement agencies are automatically morally suspect, and I am under the impression that the SEC has a history of vexatious practices, overreach, and vendetta.
Musk is probably their number one target at the moment, partly for his wealth but also for his profile and stances against the government and its minions.
Weigh up the low probability of this lawyer’s readiness to involve himself in an SEC adventure against the certainty that the SEC will go after Musk with anything they can, rightly or wrongly, and you can see why he is so fiercely suspicious.
Nor no traditional owners!

I have never really examined the poem, but after rickw called the country ‘retarded’, I thought yes, and really what came to mind was Eliot’s ‘Hollow Men’.
That’s about it.
Didn’t we just go through a rota chorus of calling Ivermectin ‘Horse dewormer’, with the suggestion that it cannot therefore also work in anyway on humans (since they are not horses).
But it seems human medicines can work on dogs.

Dexiosocracy is my favourite word now, it explains perfectly how we are governed by mediocrities. Wherever you look, whether politicians or bureaucrats, all are there for the power and the perks, everything and everybody else are just irrelevancies getting in their way. Ironically, our only hope are minor parties who will have to listen to us to remain in their positions.
It seems stupidity is the exception, in that the sickness gets worse with each new strain.
I am very, very opposed to things people try to force on me.
That was a great post KD. Re leaving the country, I know or know of (through kids/grandkids) people who left Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Iran and Vietnam without government approval. There’s always a way.
I feel sorry for the kids growing up in the households of these hard core COVID forever parents.
I really should check the author before reading a comment. Some things are just too repetitive and boring to waste time on.
You have to admit the derg vaxx urging is a corker though.

Knuckles,
The fact that people have not been able to cross even State borders to attend to some very, very, very important things, would indicate otherwise.
I’ll add, so far as what the government might think is a “compelling” reason, have a look at some of the denials which occurred on State lines (Cancer, funerals, sick kids, etc).
Sorry, but let’s get some realism back on the Cat.

Better brace yourself coz there are more and more of these retards everyday. At my workplace over a third of the women are rocking this look. They look super weird and creepy especially with the lips done. In meetings I have to resist the urge to reach over the table and slap them.
I could be remembering wrong, but I seem to recall one of the characters in that movie The Matrix who knew the reality – that people were living in a pleasant but unreal simulation while those who had broken out of it lived a squalid, cramped, joyless life scrambling merely to exist.
This fellow decided to sell out his fellow rebels because he prefer to live in the simulation with succulent steaks, wines like the waters of Lethe, sunrises, bounteous women etc.

I saw it years ago but that particular scene seems to have stuck in my memory.
That was before I knew it was prophetic.
Trophy wife from the nineties, hit upon hard times of late. Given what we know about the press she probably works for them, one of those ring-ins they use whenever they need a public outrage story for the current affairs shows.
Not about Razey I wasn’t.
All mouth and no trousers.
1. He stated that Australia was a shithole and he was definitely leaving;
2. He further stated that he had a clear unencumbered pathway to move to Japan via spousal visa;
3. He had done zero about it despite weeks of “any day now”. In fact, he said he had been planning to leave for twenty years. The government is not responsible for him not even starting the process.
4. When challenged he told Johanna to “go hang herself” and spent the rest of the day on a “Glowie!” bender.
5. He’s a fuckwit. Stop overlooking that and white-knighting him merely because he claims to share some of your views.
6. If he returns, the questions will continue. His abuse deserves nothing less.
I hate to say it, but the Liberal Party will never Improve until we stop defaulting it ahead of Labor.

If #CriticalRaceTheory is not being taught anywhere in public schools—if this is a right-wing fiction—why would the Left be so opposed to laws banning it? They should regard those laws as similar to laws banning unicorns—hardly a danger to society since unicorns don’t exist!
The ones who escape need murdering. It’s the old story.
And the word narrative has got itself a bad name. It used to mean story, but now it has increasingly come to mean lie.

We Must Stop Biden’s Communist/Fascist Takeover! “LET’S GO BRANDON!”
Wayne Allyn Root on Jan 16, 2022
I suppose it’s about the acceptance of consequences, Mater.
The States are different beasts. With the Feds there’s only one set of stupid guidelines. Going from State to State, as countless Australians have found out you deal with at least two levels of self-interested bureaucracy designed to extort cash from the host body (the Feds) as well as to promote themselves as being more restrictive than anyone else because safety.
And that’s with the same Feds over the top.
In my own case – if I had really, really wanted to leave the NT and go to Victoria for my father’s funeral I could have. I wouldn’t have advertised a plan for ramming checkpoints in Kenworths, but I could have done that. It would have cost me financially, in employment terms and potentially my liberty, but I could have done it. Acceptance of consequences.
It’s our governments hanging those consequences over the heads of normal people – the intangible, not-publicly-visible results of not going with the narrative of the day that have forever turned me against our betters.
I’m not white knighting anyone, and I challenge you to point out where I’ve mentioned his name.
You started out on all those who have stated they might leave, and then focused in on Razey.
You WERE absolutely wrong when you said:
I never said you were wrong about Razey, but he doesn’t represent everyone who have expressed a desire to leave.
A large chunk of your derision throughout the day was based on that incorrect information. It was wrong, and you are starting to sound like Bobnam with your inability to recognise and admit to the mistakes.
Grow up.
Thinks I don’t get.
.1 posting negative RAT results on social media…just seems odd.
.2 thanking god for your negative RAT result on social media…where to begin.
.3 unless you’re going to see nan & pop or someone with cancer, wtf would you be taking a RAT.
I have to go to Werribee.
As the man said, I may be gone for some time.
KD would have made to jump through hoops to go to a family funeral.
Stephen Marshall got an exemption to fly to another state to watch his son’s graduation.
This was before RATs too.
Make all the exemptions public.
Travel.
Work.
Quarantine.
I have not seen matrix but I have been told that it was based on aspects of Plato’s allegory of the cave in his Republic.
P.S. Mater.
I didn’t see anything Rosie posted on the emigration matter, or more correctly I wasn’t relying on it.
I was basing it on John of Mel saying there was a bit of dicking around but eventually declaring that he was going for three months or more got it done.
That was my take and he may clarify that later on.
Also:-
1. closure of state borders last year has little relevance to international borders today.
2. The fact that there are bureacratic hoops to jump through does not support the “we are prisoners” line.
My commentary is directed primarily at Razey, but I do wonder if people who have made similar noises aren’t arriving at KD’s conclusion. That there are complicated personal entanglements this end which make it difficult and the dawning realisation that the grass isn’t greener.
Once you have stridently declared your desire to go, “The gummint won’t let me” is psychologically far more palatable than “It is too hard personally and I’ve changed my mind”.
If some sharp smacks aren’t delivered soon,
it’ll go from getting toothpaste back into the tube to shaving foam back in the can.
It’s like these people are terrified every minute of every day. Having a negative test means they might get one more day of sweet life before oblivion.
Mater.
Do you accept that there could be, to varying degrees, an element of macho bluff and bluster in some of the “I’m outta here!” pronouncements?
That it may be … dare I say the word … international flouncing?
Beertruk,
Thanks for those German words. Things my mum never taught me.
Razey made some comment which could have been found offensive and so it was removed.
Yet that same comment has been repeated several times by others. Problem.
The Labor Party calls on the spirit of John Curtin,FFS!
Australians are so typically f…ed in the head.
“It’s not fair, I’m being tyrannised and he’s not!”
“I’ll only accept being tyrannised if we all are equally”
Once you have stridently declared your desire to go, “The gummint won’t let me” is psychologically far more palatable than “It is too hard personally and I’ve changed my mind”.
Correct.
Australians are so typically f…ed in the head.
do you include yourself in that accusation?

Anyway, he is back in his sock drawer now.

Like I say, blaming Australians for our vile political class is like blaming Russians for Stalin or Americans for the old thief. It’s all about a self perpetuating, parasitic ‘in’ group gaining and trying to maintain control.
miltonf.
That is exactly what a sheeple would say!
The ‘in’ group lost control (or partially lost control) in the US and they tried to burn the place down to regain it. In fact they were quite happy to burn the place down- Jacob Frey in Minneapolis that twerp in Portland.

Here’s something beautiful that blends our thread artwork with the subject of freedom. Enjoy.
Strange, the “West” isn’t taking comments on the story. I do wonder why?
I don’t put rickw in the same category as Razey.
Not by a long chalk.
Bullshitters cop ridicule.
It’s the Australian way.
Calli, that was beautiful. Thanks.
I love Dido but have not kept up with any current recordings, of hers or other singers I’ve always enjoyed. Thanks again.
I love commenting at the Australian; the frisson of fear as I check to see what they have REJECTED, followed by the crushing disappointment that my idiot emotional post has no readers.
But I rather enjoyed writing this, on the Djokovic story:
REJECTED.
There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead.
And by 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty.
Just checked my all time scorecard.
8 accepted.
15 rejected.
Four of the eight were innocuous comments on sporting stories (tips and guesses on results and team selection).
Anal is the very model of a post modern career pollimuppett. A dangerous parasite- like most of them.
@Farmer Gez
I’ve been doing that for some years…but it’s just a gesture, by and large, which they have chosen to ignore completely…for the vast majority of us, the only factor which really shows the Liberals what we think of their perfidy in a way they can’t ignore, is not where the vote was originally directed but where it “runs out”
Too many people see thru ‘The Message,’ nowadays?

Who could have guessed that Sancho would identify as one of the clever, comfortable people?
Rambler! You didn’t view the botoxed neurotic demanding vaxxes for her fat, elderly staffie?
Shame!
The “West” does have have the habit of playing “Little Sir Echo” to the Labor Party, since the days of Peter Dowding, and WA Inc.
I have found that any reference to Professor van Wrongselen or Mavis tends to be rejected out of hand.
First it was the CDC pointing out to media in late 2021 that the vast majority of people who died from covid had 4 or more comorbidities, something that, under Trump, the media refused to discuss.
Now, after previously recording all deaths with covid as deaths from covid, the US Department of Health and Services has told hospitals they will no longer need to report covid deaths at all from 2 February.
The inflated numbers are making Joe look bad.
If the WA exposure sites remain restricted to massage parlours and karaoke bars I should be OK.
I do wish they’d hurry up and find the ejector seat firing handle, and launch themselves clear of the whole thing…

Just to be unequivocally clear: it’s confirmed that Novak didn’t break any rules & there were no determined issue with his paperwork or exemption, which was valid. Hawke states this clearly in the court docs. He was deported for the govt not liking his public opinions. That’s it.

What depresses most about the whole Djokovic debacle is it appears 80%+ support from the Australian people.
I know polls can be misleading, but even with some of my friends, I’ve seen some incredible mental gymnastics justifying the Feds actions.

Only a cynic would suggest that.

That’s right if the Australian’s poll is reading the mood correctly.

Currently 85% Yes, 15% No.

I was surprised Nanny Neil didn’t show up last week in the midst of the Djokovic thing and wrestle the microphone off AJ.

Oh, sorry, it wasn’t about me.
Where was this? Quite seriously, these people would quite happily force people into starvation, so long as they did what they were told. And just see how well informed the were. They didn’t even know what law she was breaking. Probably because, as she said, there was no such law.
Sad to say, although I think the numbers might be a bit skewed, I reckon a properly conducted poll would give a minimum of 60:40, leaning to “Yes”.
Funny, I thought that too.
The few people who have expressed an opinion to me think it is a sad point in our history.
One friend, a Croatian, thinks it is great.
Has anyone relevant actually acknowledged that the vax doesn’t *work yet?

A poll conducted in the midst of it all ran 50:30 with a large undecided. I reckon the undecideds will have come off the fence by now.
There is some stupid bitch in my locale who wears a face shield over her face nappy. I just said out loud ‘oh my God’.
Possibly.
Who knows exactly?
But I reckon you’re dreamin’ if you think that a majority of people support Djokovic.
And one more thing about that woman with the fat dog, clearly she is not above coaching her child to behave for the cameras in a way that makes her case more manipulative. Unless of course the kid was a prop inserted for maximum sob factor points.
One friend, a Croatian, thinks it is great.
Ha ha Croats will croat as someone here said.
I hope she’s a welder.
Look, I really don’t give a fuck what they do themselves.
It’s when they start trying to impose this stuff on others.
Now, after previously recording all deaths with covid as deaths from covid, the US Department of Health and Services has told hospitals they will no longer need to report covid deaths at all from 2 February.
How do they hospitals get their federal COVID cases/death money under the CARES Act if they don’t report them?
Last benchmark in QLD was when we hit 90% double vaxxed masks can come off indoors.
We’re nearly at 89%.
What are the odds “boosters” will soon come into play?
Who knows how many Ostrayans give a shit about it?
Who knows how many Ostrayans know who Djokovic is?
Anyone who thinks government can stop you leaving the country is not trying.
Absolutely nobody would stop you hopping on a boat and sailing or motoring to PNG.
You could probably do it on one of the fishing tours out of Cape York.
Not mentioned in the report, bern.
I would imagine the money could still be doled out pro rata based on previous reporting. Once such measures are in place it’s very hard for politicians to reel them in without being accused of “funding cuts”. And with those mid-terms coming up…
Staffies can be blamed for:
•1 Misusing their chewing superpowers;
•2 Farting horribly.
Not much else.
Tasmania hit 90% and then they insisted that mask go on indoors. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds apparently.
I prefer the term ‘realist’.
Ha! The idiots will say “We didn’t drift leftwards enough” or “having lost sight of our objective, we re-doubled our efforts”.
Met a gluten intolerant Staffie once, that was a horrible pairing. Think •2 with explosive follow through whenever the beast found something to eat it wasn’t supposed to have access to.
I’m sure they said “hooters”, not “boosters”.
You won’t hear it in the MSM today, but of the 20 deaths <with COVID today in NSW, 14 were vaccinated ie 70%.

Too damn right. I just think of all the herioc (and not so heroic ones) who escaped from Vietnam and China. The guy who had a Chinese Restaurant in Footscray swam across to Hong Kong during the Cultural Revolution or GLF iirc.

Also known for being escape artists.
Seen the same in Bunnings without the mask though.
A little-known fact is that Novak Djokovich’s expulsion from Australia is effective for three years – which means the world tennis No.1 is effectively banned from competing for the rest of his career.
Well done, Scott Morrison. You’ve officially made Australia’s tennis grand slam second-rate.
Oh boy, anyone see the BBC funding news?
Just on this Novax Jockitch issue, everyone has a point to make it seems, so here’s mine.
Many of my fellow countrymen have a characteristic that troubles me greatly.
They don’t mind being tyrannised as long as everyone else is. “If we’re being tyrannised, then so should Novax Jockitch”
It’s a point . I get it.
Here’s another one.
None of us should be tyrannised. We should all be free to come and go.
It’s a real sickness of the mind to accept your own imprisonment by criminals as long as everyone else gets locked up for no reason as well. No tall poppies here please………shouldn’t we as a nation be more concerned with freeing the 26 million of us, getting out from underneath 2 years of State of Emergency madness, and seeking justice, rather than making sure that everyone else becomes the victims of this crime, just like you?
It’s the most warped sense of fairness you can conceive.
Convict status accepted as long as their are no favourites.
I reckon a properly conducted poll would give a minimum of 60:40, leaning to “Yes”.
Through family and friends this is roughly where I find it. Within that 60% roughly half in the camp of “no one should be exempt” and the other half “eek he could infect people…”
