Usually of the media or sporting personalities involved.
Incidentally, I did like that line, “When I found that violence against women was the biggest social problem in Australia today, I just had to get involved.”

They picked a good time to sell up.
They sold a big parcel next to us.
Still probably one of the more savoury characters there I expect.
Asserting control in a situation where:
– it’s safe to do so
– it won’t be questioned
– every other area in life is beyond their control
They’re creepy and dangerous. I lived in a household where, come four o’clock, mum would hear the truck pull up, rush to the door and be swept off her feet with a big hello kiss. And sometimes a spin down the hall.
After tea, they would sit on the front step and dream of all the work they would do on the house when they could afford it.
The local milkbar just down the road from my primary School sold individual smokes for 6c ea. Paid with a silver and a brown coin.

A.k.a. agitprop.
Straight out of the Marxist-Leninist handbook.
Despite Peter Ridd’s efforts, the Great Con about the Barrier Reef charges on unabated:
Lots of pork linked to ‘climate change’ and nasty farmers. That the Reef is miles offshore from runoff is neither here nor there. Oh, well, got to find jobs from those otherwise unemployable ‘marine biologists’ that James Cook churns out every year somehow.
Today many New Australians are showing similar ingenuity in bringing economic innovation to the Australian smoking experience.
Marlboro Red, you pussies
Ha! you forgot Camel. Picture of the factory on the packet.
Always back The-Little-Reef-That-Could. It’s a survivor.
So it was just “technical issues”, eh?
Very disappointing. My immediate thought was collectivists being idiots (again).
As for gas cooktops one of the leaders of the jihad against them is none other than that noxious loathsome yank Keneally. Why do these insufferable imbeciles think they have some singular right to control and stuff up peoples’ lives? Just sod off, you nongs, you’re too stupid to tell me how to live my life.
The old man used to get me to go buy Peter Jackson Dark Blue was I was a 12 year old at the corner shop.
The shop had no issues selling them to me. Those were the dayz.
The other thing about gas cooktops is…they’re simple. Pipe the gas, light it, adjust flow. Easy, repairable technology.
The sort of thing that “back to nature” types would applaud. If they were genuine that is.
Marlboro Red, you pussies.
Oh, to be still able to get Albany, Camel Lights, John Player Black…
All government-approved and taxed fags these days taste the same.
But, ah, the magic of the market! Bought a six-pack the other night and the little Indian chap behind the counter whipped out a pack of contraband Marlboro Lights and said “$20” — that’s $12+ less than Morrison Brands. It also means there are now six — SIX!!! — shops within three kilometres of my front gate selling black market darts.
If I include Willy, Newport and Yarraville, there’d be around two dozen known outlets.
Anyway, I responded that I could get them for $17 a pack from the Leb family store up the road. So that was the price we agreed on. (The Vietnamese family in Seddon make their own fags in the back room. They’re a bit of a rough smoke but at $35 for a 100, their “blue box deal” has its attractions.)
You’d think a party that professes to understand supply and demand would grasp that increasing prices draws fresh players into the market, in this case organised crime.
They might also notice that, if contraband vendors are competing on price, they’ve totally lost control.

Colleague : “You’ve met his missus, right?”
Me : “Yeah. So what’s she got to do with it?”
Colleague : “He would get nothing but confrontation every waking moment at home. Work is a refuge from that.”

Had a chat with a mate this morning who reckons half the builders in Geelong are cooked. Also said there’s huge numbers of small players walking away from near paid off equipment. Lots of trucks, earthmoving plant, trailers etc. getting taken back by the finance companies with very little owing.

Direct air capture machines suck carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Are they part of the solution to climate change?
This is at the ABC news site so prepare yourself. Sciencey Cats should put down their mid-morning coffee before reading to prevent accidents.
On a barren lava plateau in Iceland stands an entirely new kind of industrial facility that sucks carbon dioxide from the air and traps it in stone.
The world’s first commercial direct air capture (DAC) plant is designed to remove thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas every year and then inject it deep underground. Technology like this has been mooted for years but faced huge engineering challenges and, until recently, was dismissed as a costly fantasy. Experts say DAC could become a trillion-dollar global industry — if it can be deployed at scale.
So how does DAC work, what’s the future of the carbon removal industry, and is this an opportunity for renewables-rich Australia?

My Dad was a bit of a woose. Harmless, every bodies mate. My Uncle related a time when they were having a beer after work on Friday night when Dad slammed the dunny door on a guy that used to beat his wife after getting tanked up. Dad slammed the door in his face, guy falls over holding his face, Dad picks him up throws him into the urinal and flushes it, then walks out. After about ten minutes guy comes out still bleeding, black eye. Someone across the bar calls out “Missus sort you out this time”. Dad actually looked quite a bit like George McFly.

I haven’t had a smoke for just on 13 years. How I miss it. On the way out, I was rolling my own with the aromatic Pommy tobacco Old Holborn.
My mentor in the 1980s (a theatre director named Gunduz Kalic) had also been an Old Holborn smoker before he gave up – he used to borrow my pouch to pretend he was still smoking and inhale the aroma.
Both us are serious addicts who’ve gone cold Turkey. I’m glad I stopped. Beats the hell out of coughing.

There should be a choice of jumpers for the players. The club is discriminating against one person for another group. Not very inclusive. Why is our society now shaming or putting most people in the community in an awkward position if they don’t want to stand up every single time in public for LGBT people? Where has “equality for all” gone? I totally support everyone’s right to live how they desire and feel comfortable with as long as it does not infringe other peoples rights. I don’t shout my sexual orientation from the rooftops, it is my own private business, not for public discussion or display. I have worked with and have friends who are of a LGBT orientation but that has nothing to do with how we work together and socialise. We just spend quality time together enjoying each other’s company and don’t shout from the rooftops what we each do behind closed doors. Let’s get back to being a “community “ again.

lady decries the caddish antics of a good looking chap rooting randoms on tinder.
Complains the app makes it too easy for Chads to dump and pump.
Why do dating apps bring out the worst in men?
Nancy Jo Sales
Apps like Tinder and Hinge give straight men unfettered access to women – and a new sense of boldness through a seemingly endless set of options
It needs a fisking.
If you’ve managed to live your life so that you’ve somehow avoided the “West Elm Caleb” saga that’s unfolded over the last week, then you’re probably a happier, less perplexed person because of it. And if you’re a single straight woman who uses dating apps and have never dated a young man who resembles West Elm Caleb, then that is nothing less than a miracle.
…
If you chase Chads on a hook up site whats your intrinsic value love?
…..
In brief: West Elm Caleb is a guy, 25, who got outed on TikTok for allegedly dating multiple women he met on dating apps, all at the same time, leading them on and then ghosting them. “Back in my day we just called that a fuckboy,” said my friend Amelia, 29. Yes, I know. Back in 2015, I wrote a story for Vanity Fair entitled Tinder and the Dawn of the Dating Apocalypse in which I reported: “A ‘fuckboy’ is a young man who sleeps with women without any intention of having a relationship with them or perhaps even walking them to the door post-sex.”
…
Dating she probably means up the bum first date, never a healthy basis for a long term relationship.
Again, whats your intrinsic worth to this chap, you are a random who said yes to a root.
….
That story caused an infamously crazy reaction on the part of Tinder, which tweeted at me more than 30 times in one night, so offended were they that I had talked to actual users about their dissatisfaction with the newly launched, now multibillion-dollar app. Tinder was mad because, among other things, I dared to suggest that dating apps (including Bumble and Hinge, where West Elm Caleb met his matches) were exacerbating bad behavior on the part of straight men. Which is what is missing in the many think pieces that have come out about West Elm Caleb: the problem is the design of the technology itself.
…
Mmmmyesss, the tech is the problem. Not the cavalcade of ho’s all chasing the top 10% blokes, revealing that womens sexual choices are, if anything, shallower than mens.
…
No, dating apps didn’t invent misogyny or womanizers. But they did give straight men – unvetted men – unfettered access to women. They gave them a new sense of boldness through a seemingly endless set of options. They gave them the ability to decide with the flick of a finger whether a woman was “hot or not” enough for them to date or have sex with. They gave them the ability to create false identities who can’t be held accountable.
…
Chad gets to finger his way through the “staceys” at no cost to himself.
And how “accountable’ do you desire your one night stand to be?
…
The effect of all this on straight male psychology is something I’ve discussed with psychologists, feminists, evolutionary biologists and other experts throughout the making of a documentary film and the reporting of several more articles and a book. But you don’t have to have a PhD to see that dating apps privilege the male gaze and give straight men an outsized idea of their power in their dealings with women. In the opinion of another young woman friend: “They have ruined men.”
…
No love, the ability of ladies to compete for Chad unfettered by old social mores or circles of friends has naturally led to Chad finding out his golden cock doent need to ‘settle”.
https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a
Ahem:
…
No, I don’t think West Elm Caleb deserved to be doxed or harassed by the people who sought to take revenge on his behavior – no one deserves that. It is wrong. But I’m not surprised that some women rose up against this character, using him as a scapegoat for what they have been enduring in the realm of dating now for years; I’m just surprised it took this long. “West Elm Caleb is a pandemic,” said Molly, 34. “He’s everywhere. Except there’s no vaccine.”
…
Ladies who gave it away shocked to find out how they are valued… film at 11…
..
Without any change in the toxic dating culture being created by these apps – or the men they’re turning into fuckboys – women have been turning to each other for solidarity online. “What I’m seeing more and more on TikTok is women finding out they’re being cheated on or dating the same guy,” said Lana, 28, “and then pushing back. I have seen girls post, like, ‘If your husband is named Joe with blond hair and tattoos and was just on a business trip in Vegas, he’s cheating on you.’ I also saw a girl who found out her boyfriend of like six months was dating two other girls, and they all ambushed him at the same place. They all looked the same too, ugh.”
…
Women are trying to find a new way to increase their value once they have given away the flange to Chad. This is by actually finding out what the bloke is like/does. The sort of thing which was front ended into relationships in the before time..
…
“Honestly, women should boycott these apps,” said Breanna, 30. “I don’t know what benefit they bring – other than make us more accessible to trash men with bad intentions. I’m telling everyone I know to delete the apps. They’re not worth it and no one I know has met anyone worth a damn on them anyway.”
..
Breanna has looked at the oncoming wall and is afraid.
But removing the app would mean she didnt get to have 100 betas a day reaffirming shes desirable whom she can discard for one more shot at Chad.

Peter Baldwin is now posting regular articles at http://www.polciv.org , worth a visit to see that there are still some rational people on the left. Not all of them have become full-blown fascists. (Hello munty!)
The first step against the elf tyrants is to get people from all sides of politics to realize that the enjabbenening is political issue, not a health issue.
The envvaxxenening induced illnesses and occasional(so far) death are less of problem than the worldwide tyranny of elf nazimorons and fascist political leaders.
History hints at the fate of fascist politicians.
The elf nazimorons are a greater danger. The world is now like a big Jonestown.
On induction cooktops.
The maximum power draw is a significant issue in a domestic setting. If you install one as a replacement for gas you’ll be adding at least 50amps to your switchboard load.
It will mean a dedicated supply circuit to your stovetop – similar to your oven. Depending on what else you are running, this may, or may not also involve a new switchboard and power supply to the house.
But if you live in an apartment, probably forget it. Providing 50A for (say) 10 kitchens would almost certainly involve major power supply upgrades. For (say) 20 kitchens, you’d be looking at new transformers in the street and everything that goes with distribution power control and protection.
That’s why new res developments still go in with gas cooktops.
Luckily, if you are a professor, these are boring details for lesser folk with dirty fingernails to take care of.

39 ‘covid deaths’ today in Victoria.

Quite so.
I looked at the forecast last night which gave 80% chance of rain in the morning.
I thought this would be a band of storms which might give us 15 minutes of showers.

Still on smokes. Ardath for the housos. Super cheap, so loosely packed you took one long drag and they were done. Also had to carry the pack upside down and open very carefully as loose tobacco would cascade out of the pack. Always made sure you opened the pack on a smooth surface so you could sweep the loose stuff back into the pack.

The old man used to get me to go buy Peter Jackson Dark Blue was I was a 12 year old at the corner shop.
The shop had no issues selling them to me. Those were the dayz.
Was sent down to the shop by the Old Man and me mum to buy Rothmans. Think I was about 10 or 11 back then.
Also going to school, the bus driver smoked while driving the school bus and two or three of the year ten girls smoked Wild Woodbines. I think because they were the cheapest at about 25-30 cents a packet.
In high school, our Ag teacher smoked a pipe in the classroom.

Don’t know about you guys, but I see no impact on the average numbers of death in Victoria since 2019 to dec 2021.
Roughly 3500 victorians die each month, and nothing has changed.
More proof of government lies.

Good short segment on Tucker with a Canadian truckie just now, I’m sure it will be on youtube later. Truckie said he didn’t even need to use his phone to scan a QR code at the US/Canadian border, the border official said his phone had already pinged immigration with all his details, he could go through. Total big brother already exists folks. Of course, all innocent people have nothing to fear, do we?

Awful listening.
Jones: It’s far, far harder to have to walk through every day, die slowly — and from the time you’re a child ’til the time you get gray, you’re dying. (Pause) (Tape edit) Dishonest, and I’m sure that they’ll — they’ll pay for it. They — They’ll pay for it. This is a revolutionary suicide. This is not a self-destructive suicide. So they’ll pay for this. They brought this upon us. And they’ll pay for that. I — I leave that destiny to them.
…
Jones: (Pleading) I, with respect, die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Don’t lay down with tears and agony. There’s nothing to death. It’s like Mac [Jim McElvane] said, it’s just stepping over into another plane. Don’t be — Don’t be this way. Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity. We must die with some dignity. (Pause) We will have no choice. Now we have some choice. (Tape edit) Do you think they’re gonna stand — allow this to be done and allow us to get by with this? You must be insane. (Pause) Look children, it’s just something to put you to rest. (Tape edit) (Despairing tone) Oh, God.
Children crying
Jones: Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, please. Mother, please, please, please. Don’t — don’t do this. Don’t do this. Lay down your life with your child. But don’t do this.
Woman 14: We’re doing all of this for you.
Jones: Free at last. Peace. Keep your emotions down. Keep your emotions down. Children, it will not hurt. If you’ll be — if you’ll be quiet. If you’ll be quiet.
Self-interest.

I still remember Mr Formosa , my grade 4 teacher going through the pipe lighting & smoking ritual and smiokingafter lunch .
It’s funny though, other than a small celebratory cigar for no 3 grandson 9 months ago, I haven’t smoked in over a year, nor felt the need. After a period of stupidvision for the 3 dozen kids who showed up @ school, and the rest of the time spent performing administrivia today I am craving a cigar.

THE Alice Springs Town Council have penned a letter to more than 40 of Australia’s most influential political leaders in a desperate plea to help take back control of the spiralling rates of crime and anti-social behaviour facing the town.
Mayor Matt Paterson sent the letter on Thursday evening after council members came to the conclusion the town had reached a “breaking point”.
Among the dozens of recipients of the strongly worded letter was the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese, Minister for Indigenous Australians Ken Wyatt, Education Minister Alan Tudge, the Territory’s four senators and the Chief Minister Michael Gunner.
“I write this letter as the Mayor of Alice Springs; the Mayor of a town at breaking point,” the message reads.
“Currently, every day, residents are having their businesses destroyed, cars stolen and smashed, houses broken into and are being assaulted walking to their cars from dinner.
“This is not an exaggeration. Intruders are breaking into people’s houses, getting into young children’s bedrooms while they and their parents sleep. People no longer feel safe in their own homes.
“We’ve had tragic deaths and near misses as a result of crime in our community. Frankly, we are at the end of the road.”
Mr Paterson, elected to the town’s top job in September last year, said the town was living in fear and residents and business owners were “fed up”.
“We’re just asking for some help from some people to get this under control,” he said.
“Right now, people don’t feel safe in their own homes because they’re continuously being broken into.
“It needs to stop. It’s not OK.”
The 30-year-old father said he’d rather being talking about positive things in the community, but there was a desperate need for people to see the situation facing Alice Springs.
“This letter isn’t about politics. Quite frankly, I don’t care on which side of the political aisle you sit on,” the message continued.
“I am reaching out because something needs to change immediately. I’m fed up, business owners are fed up and our residents are fed up.
“I don’t have all the answers, but I truly believe collaboration is the key to success. The entire community, all individuals and our institutions must work together if we are to succeed. Please accept this as an invitation; I am urging you to come to Alice Springs to witness this first-hand.”
The letter comes as the latest NT Police crime statistics indicates a troubling state of affairs for the town of 30,000 people.
Crimes against property increased by more than 30 per cent for the 12-month period ending November 2021.
That included a 29.68 per cent surge in house break-ins and a shocking 67.6 per cent increase in commercial break-ins.
There was a total of 6084 property-related offences in the 12-month period and 2,166 crimes against the person recorded.

Police beatings?
I understand his frustrations, but perhaps he should have sent the letter to local magistrates?
If they don’t give you an age category (e.g. 70-79) or comorbidity they are misleading and deceiving the public; the vaccination status is really telling us nothing at all given the daily fluctuations in the proportions.
But Roger, their cause is power, and that means winning at all costs.
As I’ve long said, they don’t have principles, only strategic positions.
It brings a Blazing Saddles scene to mind.
Victoria stopped doing this some time ago.
Speaking as a subject matter expert (my first job was opening up the local Shell at 6am for 2 hours before going to school, late 70’s I would think), the other end of the scale – the least prestigious – think ‘Four Crown Port’ in a flagon end – was the ‘Red Trent’ 20 pack.
The desperate ‘out of fags’ smokers who would be waiting for you to open up the shop at 6am so they could ward off the smokers equivalent of the DT’s were always after Red Trents. There was nothing cheaper – they were short (not ‘King Size’) and a pack of 20 was about 85c.
By comparison, petrol was about 26 cpl at the time too.
Roger.
The most telling line:-
“This isn’t about politics”.
Ho, ho, ho.
When they say that, it most certainly is.
Watch for those actually responsible (Gunner and co) to get a free pass whilst it gets turned into a “doooo something” issue for the Federal LNP.

Does Gunner’s government have a policy of “diverting” juvenile indigenous offenders from custodial sentences? Most state governments do. Which gives magistrates license to indulge such offenders well beyond what an habitual repeat offender who happens to be white could expect. The price of such indulgence is high both for the communities effected and, in the longer run, for the offenders.

They should be doing the opposite. They should be breaking down by age, all comorbidites, whether already terminal, vaccination extent and vaccination type.
Everything else is lying.

This person has killed three people over 48 years and was on the streets until just now:
Triple killer Regina Kaye Arthurell, formerly known as Reginald, has been arrested over a series of alleged sexual touching incidents.
Outback killer Regina Kaye Arthurell has been arrested over a series of alleged sexual touching incidents at a southwest Sydney facility.
The 75-year-old was arrested at Campbelltown this morning after a 55-year-old man known to her reported the allegations to police.
Arthurell was subject to an Extended Supervision Order after being released from custody in November 2020.
She had served 24 years behind bars for the murder of her fiance.
Arthurell was incarcerated as Reginald Kenneth Arthurell but transitioned to a woman behind bars.
In 1997 she bashed her fiancee Venet Mulhall to death with a piece of wood at their home in Coonabarabran.
She was on parole for manslaughter at the time, having killed her stepfather Thomas Thornton with a carving knife in 1974 and robbed and killed 19-year-old Ross Browning in 1981.
Arthurell remains at Campbelltown police station and is expected to be charged later on Friday.

LABOR TRIES TO KILL AUSTRALIA DAY WITH SILENCE
The Labor party is so weak and pathetic it doesn’t even have the guts to tell us that they hate our country and its history.
While millions of Australians hit the beach and sparked up the BBQ yesterday, Labor’s frontbench were busy hiding from the spotlight.
Anthony Albanese couldn’t bear saying the three simple words: “Happy Australia Day”. Instead, he declared “Australia’s best days are ahead of us”. The man even refused to shake the Prime Minister’s hand at the Flag Raising Ceremony in Canberra after former Australian of the Year Grace Tame’s petulant performance the day before.
Could you be any more unAustralian, mate?
Next was Tanya Plibersek who wrote “January 26 in my electorate: celebrating and learning about our history at Yabun Festival and welcoming our newest citizens to our great city.”
Then came Tony Burke. Tony was more than happy to say, “Happy Indian Republic Day” but refused to say, “Happy Australia Day”. Instead, good old Tony wrote about his excitement of “welcoming new citizens”.
New South Wales Labor leader Chris Minns made sure everyone knew he had “a moving start to the day, joining the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council at the WugulOra Ceremony” and “welcoming new Australians to our community”.
Victorian Labor leader Dan Andrews avoided social media altogether.
While Annastacia Palaszczuk said she “pledges my loyalty to Australia and its people, whose rights and liberties I respect, and whose laws I will uphold and obey” – a most ironic statement given she has trashed the rights and liberties of people trying to cross the border and see their dying loved ones on countless occasions over the last two years.
Australia, these are the sort of people you’ll get running our government if you vote Labor.
They flat-out REFUSE to utter the simple statement “Happy Australia Day”.
They always talk about the history of our Aboriginal brothers and sisters but NEVER discuss the unparalleled humanitarianism of Governor Sir Arthur Phillip or the incredible bravery of Captain Cook.
And instead of coming clean with the Australian people about their intention to change the date of Australia Day, they just avoid the question altogether.
Why? So, they still have a chance of getting a slice of the patriot vote at the upcoming election.
Although weak modern Liberals like Dave Sharma and Trent Zimmerman aren’t much better than Labor, many of our allies in the Liberal-National party weren’t ashamed of our national day of celebration.
BoN, this is plain silly. You’ve got a bunch of creeps who attained their positions by a fine mixture of arse- licking and treachery. You can’t expect them to abandon a winning strategy.
FMD…

HE…HE…..HE. This was inevitable. The fact is that HE shouldn’t have been on the street. HE IS A MAN and a dangerous one at that. I am tired of this sinister gaslighting by the MSM.
And if found guilty, where’s Reggie going to be sent? To a female prison?

George Christensen wore a shirt covered in Australian flags. He had a crack at the Brisbane Lions AFL team for saying Australia Day is “not a day to celebrate”. And of course, he wished Australians a Happy Australia Day.
After the Adelaide Football Club said the 26th of January “evokes distress among many people in our community”, Senator Alex Antic wrote, “Remember when the Adelaide Football Club used to concentrate on winning football games? The AFL is now ? world. Happy AUSTRALIA DAY to everyone else!”
Onya, mate!
While Defence Minister Peter Dutton wrote, “Happy Australia Day! Today, on 26 January, we celebrate what we have achieved together as Australians, our resilience, our prosperity, and our mateship. However you’re celebrating today, I hope you can take a moment to reflect on the achievements of our great country and how lucky we all are.”
Bang on, Dutts! How lucky we are indeed…
(also from Cohenite’s link)
The problem here is that Christensen is on the way out while Antic’s position won’t earn him any support from the ranks of the SA Libs. Dutton is a standout on the front bench but one is not enough.

The hard cases won’t be though. They know how to look after themselves.
Rambler.
It would be great to see 3-4 key co-mordities listed too.
Of the 39 deaths under 50, I am betting that a large number were:- .1 obese and/or
.2 had out of control diabetes and/or
.3 had some sort of heart/lung issue.
And I note that Pauline’s toon takes a cheap shot at him when there are many…many others that she could go.

On their ABCcess this morning I caught a bit of an interview with the spokeshog for the Australian Olympic Committee (or whoever organised the trips).
Lot of “our athletes are all familiar with the differing protocols between countries as they have flow round the world competing in various events”….
There you have the embodiment of entitlement.

It’s only been five months since we were glued to our screens watching our Olympians take on the world in Tokyo during the Summer Games.
Now, 44 athletes are making their way to Beijing to represent Australia, but it seems the toughest hurdle will be arriving – and staying – COVID-free.

I see the @rseholes who rule us have extended the mask bullsh*t until the end of February.
It has all but destroyed stitch n’ bitch, as it’s in a community centre, and has made churchgoing a thing to endure rather than a delight.
They have succeeded in ruining joy outside the home, especially for those who live alone and cherish such opportunities to socialise. And there seems no end in sight.
The idiots who are working so hard to dehumanise us had better watch out.
It works both ways and makes it easier for their victims to throw them on the fire. It has happened in the past and won’t be any different this time around.
In the end, eveyone will say ‘I was always against the mandates’. Just like most germans were always against the Nazis.
Divisive politics.
They have created US and THEM because THEY think it works to their electoral benefit.
US is not impressed.
Tumbrils, seating for the ladies doing their knitting all proceeding on schedule.
The elf nazimorons will probably be thrown to wolves by their political enablers, just like the german SA.
Which is good. It saves some construction work.
Looking at the COVID updates on twitter and each State’s health departments are telling everyone to get a booster. Bizarrely most of the updates are when you can get your booster after recovering from COVID. So, to them, a person who has been double vaccinated and recovered from COVID should be rushing to get a booster.
QLD CHO spreading false information that a booster adds to your immunity after recovering from COVID.
Of the 18 people aged under 65 who died from the virus this week, nine were not fully vaccinated, eight have received two doses and only three had received a third dose.
So it wasn’t revealed how many were actually, truly, unvaxxed?
Another rough calculation.
Since Omicron hit, your chances of dying is about 0.1% of known cases. We know the true number of positives is double or triple this.
Before Omicron it’s 1.0% with cases far better tracked.
So you’re at least ten times better off now than before.
Long mandate not long Covid.
Was just talking to a nurse from a major hospital. Said just got over Covid. Was not aware he even had it and only found out because partner tested positive. He had multiple RAT tests that were negative but only a PCR showed him positive. Even then felt like nothing.
He works in a large general ward but they are extremely Covid conscious with RATS, PPE and sanitisers etc. Of the 70 people that cover that ward over different shits he understands 11 have had the virus. He says they are getting it out in the community.
The utter degradation of State health and our top politicians being turned into bad Amway style salesmen, “always be closing!”, is one of the most cringe things about this whole ordeal.
I like it.
I wonder when the effects of Long Mandate on people’s mental and physical health will be studied and evaluated?
And its cost to the public in terms of treatment.
I know a medico who at the 4th day in bed after the “booster”
They are hoping that the virus naturally subsides so they claim victory for the mask mandate. “See! We saved you”. The reality of course, is that there is no evidence whatsoever that masks have worked anywhere to stop the spread.
