From Bern’s post above :
“And that 60k people in NSW aged care facilities die every year”.
So 5,000 per month. Those dying with Covid in aged care are therefore seriously under represented in population !
Meanwhile Deputy Premier Qld in press conference today was blaming Federal Government because people die in aged care homes. Average age was yet again mid 80’s. The BS is mind blowing and the failure of the press is staggering.
As a friend of mine would say (or something like it)
Well they would not be for having any fookin idea for the what they would not be for talking about.

“Claim WA police stopped church mass for vax checks
Paul Garvey
PAUL GARVEY
Western Australian police have been criticised on social media after a photograph emerged appearing to show officers conducting proof of vaccination checks in the middle of mass at a Perth church.
The image, posted to Instagram, was purportedly taken on Thursday night during a service at St Bernadette’s Catholic Church in Glendalough.
Social media users described the image as “disturbing” and “disgusting”.
“It’s the arrogance and casually brutal attitude of a Government that has received near total compliance for 2 yrs and now believes it can make no mistakes and that no one will stand up to them,” Instagram user lancescott55555 wrote.
Proof of vaccination requirements came into force in Perth on Monday. Anyone visiting venues including bars and restaurants, bottle shops, entertainment venues or indoor events with over 500 patrons are required to show proof of their Covid-19 vaccination.
Churches and places of worship with fewer than 500 people in attendance are not on the list of venues requiring proof of vaccination.
WA police have been contacted for comment.”

Timothy Neilson says: February 4, 2022 at 11:29 am
Yep, spot on.
IIRC they were lawyers, working in London, having a few days on the continent.
This is almost certain to be true. Despite a previous instance of shooting dead a German woman (in Germany) in the belief she was British Army, the violent psychopaths in the IRA reviewed their rules of engagement only as far as checking visually for a conservative haircut & male clothing before opening fire.
The attack was in Roermond, a couple of km from the German border & not far from several British bases (in Germany). The men both had conservative haircuts (check) were of military age (check) able bodied (check) driving a British registered car – so they must be British military.
Un huh, sure.
With such indisputably poor target verification, the really big risk for the IRA was they could just as easily have machine-gunned a pair of holidaying lawyers from Boston named say, Flaherty & O’Neill.
It is possible the Prod paramilitaries played at home pretty much because they had to.
Unlike the IRA, the Protestant militias lacked a heavyweight financial, political & moral support base in the USA.
The IRA also had access to a world-wide Marxist movement with ample arms & experience and a geo-political grudge against their enemy, the UK govt.
Wishy washy understatement of the day!
Alan Joyce likens WA to North Korea.
He’s right.

Timothy, my great Uncle was a Loyal Orangeman. I don’t picture him as a terrorist or a supporter of terrorists. Clearly, as a member, he wanted the British to stay in Northern Ireland.
He died long ago. I expect his lodge died out long ago too.
I don’t know what his thoughts on Israel were. He probably didn’t have any. All I know is he sat and read his Bible every night.
I am also pleased that Pairotits didn’t keep me locked up for more time than he did after the vaxxies.

Aussie cops covering themselves in glory, again!
Aussie cops in most Australian states will never recover their good reputation. I have always said that the police are necessary to protect democracy and freedom of the individual. I now believe they are a tool of the oppressors and in some states deserve to be called “Gestapo”.
QLD is to NSW, as NSW is to Victoria as Victoria is to WA, as WA is to NT, on this stuff.
This isn’t to be all rah-rah, it’s just reality.
NSW nearly made it – and was holding strong with a high level of resistance until August last year, but collapsed as a society when treacherous Gladys was faced with her corruption and so tried to save her neck by selling out the entire state to covid mania. The people haven’t recovered and it’ll take a couple of years to undo what she did – it won’t be until Hazzard and Chant are gone, in fact. That is what it is. But it’s still number two on the list.
People are just going to have to accept that people make culture, culture makes politics and QLD has by far, by light years in distance, resisted the worst of Covid Mania because its cultural make up prevented the Brisbane based political class from going to town on the people in a state that it barely controls north of Noosa and west of Toowoomba (and are a little bit afraid of).
If you care about politics, instead of being a butt-hurt Victorian with a massive chip on your shoulder about Queenslanders, and start looking at who did better than who then naturally QLD and Florida and NSW pre-August are the places you start looking at. Nobody on planet earth is looking at Victorians say “myesss we have a lot we can copy from down there!”.
Good heavens.
WA filth are anti Catholic bigots.

Scott Morrison says Alan Tudge will not be education minister when parliament resumes
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been grilled about an inquiry into a senior minister who had an affair with his staffer.
Scott Morrison says Australia’s education minister – who stepped aside over abuse allegations last year – will not return to the role before parliament resumes next week, despite a review into his conduct being due a week ago.
Speaking in Mulgrave, in the marginal Victorian seat of Chisholm, on Friday, Mr Morrison was grilled about the inquiry tasked with investigating Alan Tudge’s relationship with his former staffer Rachelle Miller.
The results were due to be finalised and handed to the Prime Minister’s department last Friday.
“When will the Government respond to the allegations about Alan Tudge given they were due on January 28?” he was asked.
“We are working to this process is now,” he answered.
He was then asked if Mr Tudge would be reinstated as the education minister by the time parliament returned on Tuesday.
“We won’t have that resolved by the time,” he conceded.
Mr Tudge stood aside as minister last year after an inquiry was called to examine allegations of emotional and physical abuse made by Mr Miller.
Both Mr Tudge and Ms Miller have admitted to an extramarital affair in 2017 but Mr Tudge has strongly denied any mistreatment.
Ms Miller declined to take part in the investigation, saying it was not truly independent.”
WA police simply don’t understand the concept of holiness.

Pope Francis on Feb 2 2022, taught, “that in Christ no one can ever truly separate us from those we love because the bond is an existential bond, a strong bond that is in our very nature…who have denied the faith, who are apostates.” Pope Pius XII taught the exact opposite when he wrote of those: “who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed….as does schism or heresy or apostasy.” Pope Francis is condemned by Pope Pius XII. Only one can be right on this matter. It is Pius XII. Dr. Taylor Marshall reads the texts. You decide.

“Don’t forget the vile Kennedy family funnelling dough and running protection politically as the IRA was bombing the UK.”
What’s interesting is that JFK was an Anglophile…who preferred England to Ireland….he revered Churchill, McMillan and others….as opposed to his Nazi sympathising father. One of the interesting tidbits to arise out of the November 22 assassination was that when you watch the Zapruder film you will see a man standing on on the grass with an umbrella…….
“A person popularly dubbed the “umbrella man” has been the object of much speculation, as he was the only person seen carrying, and opening, an umbrella on that sunny day. He was also one of the closest bystanders to President John F. Kennedy when Kennedy was first struck by a bullet. As Kennedy’s limousine approached, the man opened up and lifted the umbrella high above his head, then spun or panned the umbrella from east to west (clockwise) as the president passed by him. In the aftermath of the assassination, the “umbrella man” sat down on the sidewalk next to another man before getting up and walking towards the Texas School Book Depository.”
“After an appeal to the public by the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), Louie Steven Witt came forward in 1978 and claimed to be the “umbrella man”. He claimed to still have the umbrella and did not know he had been the subject of controversy. He said that he brought the umbrella simply to heckle Kennedy, whose father, Joseph, had been a supporter of the Nazi-appeasing British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. By waving a black umbrella, Chamberlain’s trademark fashion accessory, Witt said he was protesting the Kennedy family appeasing Adolf Hitler before World War II. An umbrella had been used in cartoons in the 1930s to symbolize such appeasement, and Chamberlain often carried an umbrella. Kennedy, who wrote a thesis on appeasement while at Harvard, Why England Slept, might have recognized the symbolism of the umbrella. Black umbrellas had been used in connection with protests against the President before; at the time of the construction of the Berlin Wall, a group of schoolchildren from Bonn sent the White House an umbrella labeled Chamberlain.
Testifying before the HSCA, Witt said “I think if the Guinness Book of World Records had a category for people who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing, I would be No. 1 in that position, without even a close runner-up.”
History is fascinating.
Many people of Irish descent still think that Northern Ireland is a confected state with little justification for being kept apart from the rest of the island.
A majority of the inhabitants want to be apart. They’re not being “kept apart”.
Yes, that does evoke the description of democracy as “two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner” but if you’ve got a better idea (e.g. like how the PLA ensured that Tibet wasn’t “kept apart” from China) feel free to share it.
Re calling in the army for this, that and the other, the mediocre trash that make it into politics usually get their ‘inspiration’ from the West wing.
“Many people of Irish descent still think that Northern Ireland is a confected state with little justification for being kept apart from the rest of the island.
Having been based in London for more than three years in total, and despite having (some) Irish descent, I never felt any urge to visit either part of that benighted island.

calli, I’ve only known two people who I knew to be members of a lodge. One was an atheist with that animus against Irish Catholics that seems to persist (though he was a generation older than me and had grown up in country Victoria when sectarianism was quite common). The other’s best friend was a Catholic with a name that makes Paddy O’Flaherty look Saxon.

Sitting in a bar ATM. Fortunately my back is to the tv which is silent. I had the misfortune to glimpse Gunner trash pontificating and the old thief pretending to be presidential. Yuk. Smoldering rubbish.
The loathsome ABC still full hysterical mode re the China bug.
Also, the IRA’s enemy, the UK govt & establishment, had world-wide interests and a world-wide presence.
Proddy paramilitary’s enemy was……. the IRA. A somewhat intangible & underground outfit.
Going after the IRA world-wide would have consumed incredible manpower & resources, a herculean logistical effort, for minute (if any) gain. Plus without a home ground beehive & home population in which to hide, the casualty rate for their operatives would have been unsustainable.
Besides, the UK security agencies & military were already alert & gunning for the IRA overseas. Why bother to add your mouse-roar to that comparative herd of elephants?
Come now, this is getting silly.
Also the Israeli flag. Are they “let’s admire Oskar Schindler” pro Israelis or the “white people are real Israelites, Israeli is run by ZOG Khazarians” “pro Israelis”?

Eh?
Dot, no ayahuasca before sun down.
You know the rules.
Irish unification is actually inevitable.
Britain should be a confederation (regional capitals in Winchester, Cardiff etc) and have their own mini-eu (military, common currency, customs union) with a united Ireland.
That would solve about every problem except socialism…
WTF is a “Para Minimi?”
Wignat “Israelites”.
Yes, it’s a thing.
Seems there’s another bloke giving evidence, after being granted immunity from prosecution.
Irish unification is actually inevitable.
It’s certainly more probable than not, anyway.
The demographic trend has been towards a Catholic majority for a long time, and though it won’t happen very soon there’s no reason to think that it won’t.
And then the argument against switching to the Republic, if there is one, will be largely economic – arguing against going fully EU with the south in favour of staying with the UK with the consequent border problems.

I am saying Ireland should leave the EU as well. The EUR was not good for Ireland. It was not part of an “optimal currency zone” with Europe.
I will never forgive Ireland for NSW justifying banning smoking in pubs…because Ireland did it.
Staying at a hotel flicking through the tv, there seem to be more shitty government channels than shitty commercial ones. Bloated is an understatement
Remember the Celtic tiger. Just something made up by some bum jorno no doubt.
Irish reunification (under their own independent govt). They’re 800 years or so into the project, they’ll probably eventually get there.
The problem I have with these “always was, always will be” arguments is the potential denial of self-determination to the generations that were born and who now live in places like northern Ireland, Taiwan, and Ukraine. The world turns and historical justifications for a return to the past status quo fail to consider that if that happens there is potentially going to be more conflict because present generations will feel they have been robbed of their autonomy through no fault of their own. It becomes a vicious cycle and for what? Some lines on a map, the restoration of pride, but rarely of any practical good for either party; though admittedly Russia has a vested interest in regard to the Black Sea but having already occupied Crimea and built that ship blocking bridge across the strait pretty much makes that moot.
Get over it, move on, stop living in the past.

Timothy N, in the very distant future united Ireland may happen but it is much like saying the dues & the Muslims will be firm friends in the future.
I have worked with them & as far as I understood there was no real love between them, individuals yes, but groups a big fat no.
Look at the football teams in the UK, Man Utd…catholic, Man City…protestant, same in Glasgow with Celtic & Rangers….a long time before these rifts will change.

Looks like it’s spreading all over social media too.
It’s actually the most sensible thing he’s said in months.
“Because the Republic of Ireland is a totalitarian state ruled by a despot?
Timothy can post pictures of the big IRA rallies in Australia.”
Who said the Republic is ruled by a despot? The Republic isn’t perfect…no country is. I can understand why Ulster Protestants didn’t want unification…particularly when the Church was ascendant however, as we know, that’s no longer the case…the last twenty years has seen the Church’s authority collapse however there is now something that’s probably a lot worse than the Church…much more sinister and much more pernicious and that is a form of secular socialism which is running amok in Ireland.
Now I don’t know about IRA activities here in Oz…but the IRA sure received a lot of financial support from the US……and most particularly in and around Boston.
Retarded. Gormless. Myopic. Gullible. Psychopathic. Evil. Communist.
These are words I associate with our leaders.

A large cop pushed her in the back, not punched, and she fell heavily but yes, it was a dreadful display and utterly unnecessary. The force he exerted on an unprepared much lighter person would likely constitute serious assault for the rest of us.
When I was in Ireland in 96 the police stations in the North had barbed wire and guard towers.
The Garda stations had picket fences.
The people of the South didn’t much care for the politics of the North as they were doing too well out of fleecing the EU coffers to keep the place quaint for tourists.
Regards the Police Force of Western Australia stomping into Mt. Hawthorn Roman Catholic Church yesterday, interrupting the liturgy for the purpose of having everybody in the pews verify their vaccination status:
Were I the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Perth (I’m not) this is what would be happening:
All RC chaplaincy to police would be suspended instantly, & all cooperation extended to police withdrawn (temporarily)
This would have to be with instant effect. Any priest pulling a “Father Bob” & ignoring this would be same day sent to Fitzroy Crossing, Docker River, or somesuch to minister to souls there. That’s if I couldn’t get the Prelate of Burma on the phone & send ’em there to minister to souls in Rohinga country or something.
Then I’d call in the Police Commissioner. If he didn’t come around I’d pronto turn up at his place (his home if necessary) dressed in full Roman Catholic regalia. (Fast forward past a few minutes of preamble about the long relationship between church/police focusing on the aspects beneficial to police) then:
“Commissioner, if your shitheads ever again crash God’s liturgy for temporal political purposes, then they’re not going to be buried by God’s church. Just try me on this. Upon my receipt of your personal written apology, chaplaincy & [insert other cooperation measures/charity etc] will recommence.”
“By the way Commissioner, the Roman Catholic Church recognises as fair dinkum marriages, a marriage conducted by several denominations, including but not limited to [insert list of proddy denominations, being sure to noticeably include several happy clapper & the like] so from this moment you’ll not be interrupting their holy worship either.”
“Commissioner, the church fully supports the police in enforcing public health measures, conduct vaccine verification, with my blessing, outside the church, as the congregation is leaving/ arriving.”
Next, the President of the Police Union (for rank & file) would be summoned/visited, who’d receive the same spiel, along with the same inflexible requirement for an apology.
I hope the above is what happened this morning.

Apart from sharing a sense of being surrounded by hostile neighbours, the The Ulster loyalists would also feel a connection to the Israeli flag as they both share a six pointed star.

The IRA, like the ANC, while no doubt engaging in murderous warfare, were a consequence of a struggle against injustice.
No Cassie, you seem to be, have you a thing against protestant people, simple question?
The other day you said about Catholics living as a multitude living in cramped accommodation in Belfast, did that mean the protestants were living in Luxury in Belfast?
Gez at 1:26.
Exactly.
It is actually worse than that.
There is a fair amount of evidence that members of the Ulster Defence Regiment moonlighted as part-time Ulster People’s Liberation Front terrorists (or whatever the fuck they were called).
And a lot of the weaponry used by the Orange Terrorists bore striking similarities to gear “stolen” from the Brits.
So, as Tony Abbott said of Syria, “there are no goodies in this one”.

But if in the future the demographics in Northern Ireland shift (naturally, not by US/Dem illegal immigrants type stuff) so that a majority of the genuine rightful residents in the UK Province of Northern Ireland vote to leave the UK and become part of the Republic, what would be the argument to say that the then minority should be able to overrule them?
As John H says, these historical anomalies are always fraught.

When I was in Port Melbourne there was certainly more appropriate places for a bar fight than the Exchange along Bay St. You might spill somebody’s espresso martini.
The problem I have with these “always was, always will be” arguments is the potential denial of self-determination to the generations that were born and who now live in places like northern Ireland, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

It should constitute assault in this case, but it won’t. One has to wonder if a large man such as this officer can basically king hit a woman from behind, what does he do at home?

Ireland fulfills the same role for the EU that they did for the NAZIs: a salient into the UK sphere.
Why, one must ask, would any Northern Protestant contemplate unification with a socialist lunacy which, following the last elections, has the IRA (Sinn Fein) ascendant.
The only place on the globe where Trudeau would not be noticeable is Ireland.
Ireland displays the same smug woke human rights arrogance as Sweden but with other peoples money. They have simply exchanged Catholic totalitarianism for Marxist totalitarianism.
Tim N,
I worked offshore in both the Irish Sea & North Sea in the 90’s, there was a mix of all nationalities but mostly Scottish, English & Irish, all got on very well as individuals do, but I remember a Scottish superintendent (very good at his job) & those days on your application form you had to state your religion, he said any application from a protestant was screwed up & thrown in the bin….charming.

It was quite plain the lady had a preset spiel, I interrupted at the blokes request to read the medical notes after she tried the “well it was after a few minutes, so it might not have been the vaccine”.
And, as god is my witness, “it might have been the weather” was put forward instead.
After i read the medical notes from the previous immunologist the lady decided she should bring up the notes for review from her own department.
Shes begged off the rest of the call to go and read the notes and ‘consult” and is supposed to ring back around 3:00
They have him down as a level 2 anaphylaxsis which is very incorrect. Level 2 is not life threatening.
His reaction was quick to the shot, and the vaccine nurses gave him 2 shots of adrenaline BEFORE he went to the nursing post for more antihistamines/corticosteroids etc.
Just watching Chris Kenny, he’s talking about the Perth Mass outrage…..apparently someone outside the church rang the police because this person saw people walking in maskless.
Someone took a picture….it’s unbelievably disgusting.
Further to what Calli said earlier, I can guarantee you that policeman wouldn’t dare walk into a mosque.
You know those religious paintings where people say the eyes seem to follow you wherever you are – maybe they do.
Perhaps Francis (I shan’t call him Pope – that would be to mar an office held previously by earnest and pious men) has sent word to all the religious icons telling them that they must support his slimy stinking worthless perfidious degenerate quest to bring about another miserable socialist revolution.
Delusional freak.

Thanks for clarifying that, Cassie.
This is why we’re so careful – there are dobbers everywhere.
I’m amazed that the police even bothered. Or do you have to wear masks outside in WA too?
The Swedes have gone up somewhat in my estimation since they bucked the lockdown lunacy.

With reference to the “leg” and Ben RS case.
I remember an article last year which suggested the person who souvenired it and took it back to base was a senior SAS NCO who last year was the RSM of Special Forces. When the story came out he was supposed to be looking into the culture of the SAS and had to step down from his SF role.
This is frankly unbelievable. Have the bishops made public their disgust?
That will help with the booming WA tourism!
Not.
Any thoughts on Irish cheese?
I very much doubt it Ted.
Just saying that I am well known at the pub, and will be easy for you to find.
I still think it was a piss poor effort to not show up after I summoned you, just because it was a trifle inconvenient.
Speaking of the pope, it will be interesting to see if Francis rebukes Cardinal Hollerich of Luxembourg, president of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the EU, who has given an interview saying the church needs to change its position on homosexuality, contradicting Catholic doctrine and the previous pope.
Exiles from mainstream Anglican & Protestant churches will know this is how the rot begins – a high ranking clergyman or theologian breaks ranks on doctrine and remains undisciplined, thereby giving tacit permission for others to follow. This reveals that the higher authorities were complicit all along.
The same specious arguments are being used too – including that if the church doesn’t change it will lose the support of young people and that the Bible does not mention homosexuality as it exists today but was only against cultic prostitution because it involved idolatry. Did God really say…?

In Australia, a country I so recently believed was made up of people imbued with a form of rugged individualism, it appears the “nanny state” has prevailed and produced a nation filled with hysterical hypochondriacs, scared witless by the blandishments of bureaucrats and politicians intoxicated by the acquisition of excessive power readily discarded by the frightened citizenry who obey rules to the nth degree. And out of this confected climate of fear a police state has revealed itself for all to see. Any country that proclaims Novak Djokovic—one of the world’s greatest-ever tennis players and a role model to the world—“a threat to public order” has surely lost its way.
I look at this all and tumble to the fact I live in a country in the grip of awful misrule, but I also now know, the better options I once thought were there no longer exist.
This is pretty unhinged, even by LOLcow standards, but pray tell who is a “Catholic totalitarian”?
Duterte? Salazar? Franco? The smart aleck “beep boop”conservatives told me they were the good guys. Maybe they will grow up one day.
Is a “Catholic totalitarian” any worse than an Orthodox one? Oh that’s right, he’s one of the “good guys”.

Biggles, what worries me is will you be bringing your sniper rifle?
BTW, Ted, that could be a very awkward path to go down, given who you are trying to run interference for.
Calm down, Ted.
We’re just going to have a beer and a chat.
Biggles, do shut up you fucking nonce.
To start with at least.
That was a pretty good response time, fellas.
Ted, promise me you won’t get angry in the pub.
I don’t want to be associated with people who the bro’s have to turf out.
Do you think you can do that for me?
Like fuck we are going to have a beer & a chat, we won’t be allowed to go at it in the pub, but there is a nice quiet green area not far away from the boozer.
Wow! Lose the support of young people! What a catastrophe.
Apart from the fact that it’s a lie…the church has a choice here.
Lose the “support” of young people or lose the support of God.
These people are either totally indifferent to the harm they’re causing people, or they are actually meaning to cause harm. I want them to tell us straight out which it is.
No sensible medical professional would or should ever insist a person repeat a treatment that has already caused them that degree of reaction -especially to what is still an experimental jab that we already know can cause harm while being ineffective.
That your man has to either submit to another such injection, at potentially considerable risk to himself, or lose his employment – by government diktat policed by some unknown and most likely unqualified bureaucrat – is unethical, inhuman and utterly immoral. If it’s legal at all, then the law is a complete ass. You don’t “save” someone by making them do something that you already know could kill them.
As to the comment about the reaction maybe being caused by the weather – that’s just vile! That person should be ashamed, but it seems they know no shame.
Calm down Ted.
I’ve called a meeting for the pub.
No switching venues.
Be there.
Stelter is 36 years old which is pretty unbelievable. Ace was hitting his stride today, having conniptions over the CNN crowd.
Biggles, I am not changing venues, getting it on in the pub isn’t going to do any good.
There is an area close by, quite secluded.
Ha ha ha. Serves himself right for siding with the emasculators.
All those shoes piled up higgledy piggledy out the front must be spreading some sort of disease.
Yes, betray the young faithful of today and tomorrow for the sake of the world’s applause or continue to teach sound doctrine on this matter.
The Cardinal is a wolf in shepherd’s clothing.
An excellent question.
No Ted.
I called the meeting.
The venue doesn’t change.
I hope you are not suggesting that Cats can run their own race after being summoned to a face-to-face meeting?
“Getting it on”?
You are not propositioning a sexual encounter, are you?
Biggles, I am suggesting nothing, I am looking forward to meeting you.
Zackerly.
There was an article at TheirABC this morning about the ‘vaccine hesitant’ where some dickhead medico was explaining that there are virtually no valid medical reasons to exempt anyone from getting jabbed. The fact that people had previous severe reactions to e.g. flu jabs is irrelevant, so safe and benign are all varieties of COVID jabs, claimed this moron. Being aged and very frail, almost dead of cancer, high risk pregnant – you name it – is no excuse.
It was absolutely fanatical, as if granting a few thousand medical exemptions would result in the fall of civilisation. This is the mindset of a significant section of the medico/bureaucratic establishment, the ones who reckon we should all wear masks all the time forever and so on.
The sheer lack of compassion and human sympathy in these robots posing as being concerned about our welfare is terrifying. They are the modern equivalent of those who wanted to destroy a village to save it.
The fact that no prominent public figures have the guts to call these psychopaths out is very disturbing.
Bush kid.
If I wasn’t listening to the calls I’d have trouble crediting the single mindedness of them.
A life threatening reaction?
No biggie, come to have your next shot at a hospital.
We killed the patient but the operation was a success.
RunnyTedBundybum’s dissembling reminds me of another great Quenthlander, who a couple of years back was invited to join some other people who were once in the same line of work for a discussion.
The same sorts of faffle were produced, along with demands for an apology and a guarantee of ‘personal safety’ beforehand.
And he still didn’t go. Stayed hermetically sealed in his MX5, he did.
Quenthland – the ‘last holdout’, populated by the only white Anglo Christian blokes that can save the country. Apparently.
As I may have alluded to this morning – if some Quenthlanders want to throw catch-all shit at other people, and at the same time generically paint themselves in the manner of Washington crossing the Delaware, they can’t be too put out if others find it pisstakingly hilarious when they fall short of the mark.
The Media Watchdog returns for 2022. Woof woof.
Going camping in the Territory – police assaulted with a ” folded gazebo”…
NT Police have charged three people in total after a “disturbance” in a Tennant Creek town camp on Wednesday night, where they allege two people assaulted officers, including hitting one with a folded gazebo, after officers tasered a man who approached them with a knife.
Police media manager Rob Cross said in a statement said officers were responding to reports of a “disturbance” but when they arrived at the town camp about 9.15pm, they were allegedly approached by a 19-year-old man armed with a knife.
“The man ignored police directions to drop the weapon and continued to approach police, when he was tasered by attending officers,” Mr Cross said.
He said while police were arresting him, a 38-year-old man allegedly ran at an officer, attempted to kick her to the head, before assaulting her with a folded gazebo.
Officers retreated to the car but they were surrounded by people who threw rocks at the car, shattering the passenger side window, cutting the officers’s faces, Mr Cross said.
The officers were treated at Tennant Creek Hospital.
Mr Cross said a 19-year-old man was charged with assaulting police, processing a controlled weapon at night, and engaging in violent conduct.
While another 19-year-old man was charged with engaging in violent conduct, and being armed with an offensive weapon at night, he said.

I should just say that when it comes to struggles against injustice, the term ‘murderous warfare’ as per eg the IRA or the ANC, was not intended to be made synonymous with ‘murderous thugs’. Warfare, unlike thuggery, can be lawful and justifiable, deadly though it be. (As for thugs at freedom protests, they have so far in this contrived pandemic not been amongst the protesters but amongst the law enforcers.)
You probably mean politicians, but Nick Coatsworth has been having a go at them and he’s been targeted as a result but, to his credit, has persisted.
It would help if outsiders some well meaning stop picking scabs.
This is completely insane.
What if our ruling classes are insane? Like the Soviet ruling classes were. What then?
A sane person would read that and say 80% of the tests are false positives.. That is, if 80% of the tests were “positive” but the people aren’t sick, then the tests are completely broken and cannot be relied upon at all.
But here in insane clown posse asylum world, with a straight face we’re told that 80% of the tests incorrectly diagnosing people as having “covid” who don’t means we all have to wear masks.
And why?
Because it is upon these tests that “cases” are reported. And it is upon “cases” that this unlimited power that these two or three people wield continues. So the tests could be 100% wrong, and you will be wearing masks and banned from life and the unlimited power dictatorship will continue.
Right Ted.

I’ve seen a few video clips of Brian Stelter where he has this really annoying child-like voice. I assumed that was a comical voice-over of the actual sound track, but I’m now wondering if that’s his actual voice. How could anyone sit in front of a TV and listen to that.
he said any application from a protestant was screwed up & thrown in the bin….charming.
Apparently there used to be a lot of that in Australia – both ways.
VicPol were very Catholic – which presumably explains a lot of why there was such a problem for Pell to deal with.
Likewise the Tax Office.
But the Fire Brigade in Victoria were very Protestant.
And there were certainly Catholic law firms and Protestant law firms.
I believe that the insurance industry was quite Protestant as well. (An insurance executive was the only person who ever tried a Masonic handshake on me.)
Speaking of guarantees of personal safety, did mUnty ever make it to Malmo? Probably lucky with Covid and all that. He would still be there working through the ABBA back catalogue.
Thank you FTB.
So, pre pandemic 165 deaths in aged care per day in Oz.
About one in three were in NSW, or 55 per day.
60% of these were in palliative care.
Since the government can give us daily updates on COVID related deaths they should be able to give us up to date figures for all aged care deaths. This would show if the numbers indicate “excess” deaths or not in Aged Care.
It might even be in the NSW and Fed Libs interest to do so.
The moment my last skerrick of respect for Gladys disappeared was back in August when she told us about the 93 year old who caught COVID and died while in palliative care and I should wear a mask when outside my house!
This despite the obvious fact that masks make precisely zero difference. Fuck I hate them.
You have no worries on wimping it Biggles, I am looking forward to it, in fact I am training hard.
Hey Knobdragger, go fuck yourself :))
For the police, anyone unlikely to fight, resist, or break a nail, and the police are there in a heartbeat.
Pose any potential threat and they will always be conveniently looking at their watches or tying their shoelaces, or gauging their longitude with a sextant, and only arrive when everyone who was in danger of having the scheisse kicked out of them has – then they will ask questions which lead nowhere.
Then it is back in the clown car with the flashing lights -whoooo-whoooo-whoooo…
Hey biggles, you do mean the Royal Exchange, I don’t want to be at the wrong place.
Already one no-show so forgive my scepticism.
That is his real voice. He is married to Jamie Shupak and has a child which is more unbelievable to me than the voice. Perhaps she will tire of sleeping on her stomach one day.

And this is exactly what will happen – all this totalitarian shit is not going to stop.
There will be times when the governments ease off a bit to give people hope, then the # of “cases ” will force them to come down heavy again.
Australia is the big test case – our governments will keep going with this until they are forcefully stopped. They are not going to willingly hand freedom and power back to the people.
Scummo’s already taken his 30 pieces of silver – as have the others. Australia will be delivered as promised.

We can keep being brave on here, let’s see in real life biggles.
Essay on that ugly, tone deaf POS neil young and the hippie counter-culture generally:
In truth, the supposedly liberty-loving artists of the ’60s were anything but liberty-loving. They were soft-serve Jacobins attacking established power not for the sake of some vision of freedom but for the purpose of imposing their own values on the culture.
And they succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations. The ubiquity of identity politics and anti-Western rhetoric are their doing, and the collectivist mentality of “You’re either with us or against us,” a ’60s trademark, characterizes what we are seeing today with COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates. Why wouldn’t Neil Young, one of the era’s high priests, try to dislodge a naysayer like Rogan and his freedom-loving, free-thinking guests? Rogan’s actions in advocating for freedom directly question the hegemony of the culture that the ’60s crowd have created—and in their eyes, that is unacceptable.

Not entirely. After 67 years being asthma free, last year I had to wear a mask for 2 days during commissioning a rail construction machine.
Shortly after, I developed chronic asthma – something for which I still need treatment, and will for the rest of my life.
Obviously just a coincidence – coulda been the weather… (h/t thefrolickingmole )
Tim, VicPol in the old days had evolved an entente cordial between Masons and Catholics, who each had their own squads. The reason there was an abortion graft royal commission in the last Sixties had to do with that system breaking down and Catholics getting a leg up in the Homicide Squad, noticing the abortion racket the Masons had been pointedly ignoring (in return for a little brown bag cash, it must be said).
In the wider Vic public service, Board of Works was overwhelmingly Protestant and Harbour Trust solidly Catholic.
Ah, for the old days, when there was genuine diversity. Today, all Vic public service departments are run by Green and Labor hacks. They make the old days look like an improvement.
When I was a kid in the 1960s I stayed with family in a northern NSW country town for a while – long story. The school bus was a double-decker. Proddies went up top and Catholics got the bottom, or vice versa, depending on which school the driver stopped at first (I think he tried to be even handed). Never the twain did meet unless it was Saturday arvo on the footy field; on opposing teams…naturally.
Biggles, why the fuck would anybody with a brain fly to vickitoristan, it shows how dumb you fuckers are.
You daft bastards sell up & move to this shithole….amazing.
Really Ted, you’re from Queersland. We would never have guessed. Go pick bananas.
The churches are so disappointing. I’m trying not to be abusive. The impression is that so many in the clergy are not there as believers. Bishops and all. More an apparatus of the state, to use a Marxist term. Take, for instance wearing masks at Mass, otherwise termed Eucharistic services. Now, if the priests truly believed that the liturgy was a Eucharistic feast, a Eucharistic banquet, a sacred meal, or, more shockingly, a deification whereby the human conforms to the Divine, they would then know to say that the wearing of masks in law did not apply – that is the people there are in togetherness at the table of the Lord. No masks required at tables of any sort. But the truth needs to be honoured, and when it’s not, people are treated shabbily both in and out of sacred spaces, by all manner of priesthoods, political, scientific, legal, let alone religious. Bad faith all round, but for the voices in the wilderness.
Seeing that the usual suspects are having such fun with Runnybum and his anklebiting, I shall wish them the best and watch on amusedly from the sidelines… 🙂
How rooted is the Vic public service?
So rooted the state education dept hired an English woman as a nob exec.
Her previous job? Ignoring Rotherham’s grooming gangs and being pilloried for such by the eventual investigation.
She left the dept when her history came out but still gets work as a senior member of a consulting group.
Persactly!
When they complained about free speech and such, it was not because they wanted everyone to benefit from it, but because they thought they were not being gifted enough prominence.
Everyone was to have the freedom of their speech. None other.

You’re over-egging the pudding, twostix. No doubt there are a lot of false positives, but being asymptomatic doesn’t mean you are not infected. That is what our immune systems are for – to fight off the bugs even as they are within us.
The real issue is that people get bugs and are asymptomatic all the time – it just means that our immune systems are doing their job. Zeroing in on one particular bug and portraying it as a major threat is a total distortion of what is going on anywhere people are interacting, anytime.
