With the NT copper – is it normal for the prosecution to have 3 bites at the cherry: murder, manslaughter & act causing death?

Maybe they could have added wearing a police uniform in an Abo area…

The ‘quality journalism’ an extra $3 billion gets you more of:

I suspect that this is actually the next triennial funding amount. If so, it is a small (undeserved) increase, not an extra $3.3 billion on top of what they were going to get anyway (a $3.3 billion reduction would have been better).

Queensland records 19 COVID-19 deaths and 4,701 new cases as Check-in app removed for some businesses

Ms Palaszczuk announced the use of the Check-in app was no longer required at places like shops and taxis, but people would still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues.

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said people visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants would still need to check in, and those who were unvaccinated would still not be allowed in.

The Canutes starting to realise their feet are getting wet.

Fat Tony:

No, not normal. It will be a murder beef, plus dangerous act causing death. There’s no need to charge with manslaughter as well, because the jury can return a finding of guilt for manslaughter and still acquit for murder.

The other one’s just padding. It’s a shotgun approach not usually taken in moida trials, which indicates that the NT DPP are absolutely desperate to get a win – any win – after their considerable political hoop-jumping to date.

Most bonkers coral “study” ever…

Corals doomed even if global climate goals met: study (Phys.org, 6 Feb)

coral reefs live in cold water and never move, don’tcha know ?

Germany to chop down their most ancient and mystical forest in order to build windmills! Closing their Nuclear Power down was stupid, but this is insane.
“German authorities, completely ignoring German sentiment about forests, which is quite mystical, have decided to mow down the big one to get some wind power put in, in the name of ‘going green.’ Like the Central Valley of California, which has been turned brown and starved of water in the name of ‘going green,’ Germany is trashing its most beautiful forest in the name of ‘going green.’ Funny how that works.

Reinhardswald is known as the Grimm’s Fairy Tale forest. In a weird conundrum (the Germans probably have a word for this) the greenie industrial complex has morphed into Rumplestiltskin, spinning wind into gold for the state of Hesse’s bureaucrats but demanding Germany’s first child as payment.”

No, not normal.

Not being a law type person, I would have thought they’d go for the one charge for which they sufficient evidence and a good chance of conviction.

Their approach seems to indicate they are a bit shaky with their evidence.

Another excellent letter by Jane B in today’s Australian.

The government is tying itself in knots trying to please both sides. (“Religion’s right to offend? ‘Hate has no place in schools’”, 5-6/2) We are a liberal, tolerant, democratic and mature society. It’s time to accept we don’t all have to believe the same thing. If a school presents its principles and curriculum, parents can make an informed choice. Having some people disagree with one’s way of life is inevitable. Anyone growing up in the 50s, 60s or 70s was well acquainted with middle-aged people telling us we were going to hell. We rolled our eyes.

We should be helping our children develop the strength of character to withstand criticism, the intellectual ability to defend their position, an acceptance that rules can be debated but not flouted and an understanding they won’t always be liked.

The government needs to take a step back and trust a sensible demos. We do not need to crouch behind yet more legislation.

Jane Bieger, Gooseberry Hill, WA

The French government is planning to build an enormus number of windmills in their hitherto beautiful countryside.

What Cool Hand Luke was to parking meters, the French will be to windmills.

A sad irony.

I’m in WA, went to a bottle shop and restaurant yesterday and was not asked for my papers. Oh and I never check in though admit that sometimes I pretend to and am not the lone ranger here. But there again have some friends that would check in to their house if nice Mr McClown ordered them.

Visual order of check in Covidiots from my observations would be old women and men, then women, then younger men.

Your taxes at work… but then again, people have voted for this.

Sadly I doubt that roughly 80% of the electorate ill break their house nigger status to the major parties.

Matrix,

also try running a couple or three wash cycles with Woolwash. The Eucalyptus helps wash away the petrol. Baby oil in the machine will glug up the works. The Woolwash and the vinegar/bi-carb should clear away the baby oil as well.

“WA is still checking/tracking the sign-ins but I am not happy with the inconsistencies in requirements now being applied for the entry to businesses and isolation rules. We have been advised that our Pharmacy staff need to now wear full PPE, which includes gowns & gloves, along with masks and face shields! This is totally impractical, especially at the moment where there is no Covid in our town. I know that precautions need to be taken as it can crop up anytime and we are making changes to shop procedures, but at the moment, apart from customer management, I believe that masks, and counter barriers, should be all that is required”.

Rabz I must have misread about the Woodstock. I would apologise but if I start with you I’ll end up with a queue. I take it one of the two upticks was not yours. As it is I accept you don’t have pineapple on pizza, I don’t even know what Woodstock is apart from the festival but you really need to do something about not drinking Scotch.

You are both, of course, correct.
An therein lies the problem. A complacent, sheeple populus have allowed this criminal travesty to flourish, and will continue to.
The “democratic” voting system has been so gerrymandered that only bloody revolution, or foreign invasion, or geo-catastrophe will change this. (and I am an optimist..)

Hence why some of us have left the productive economy.. why contribute at all to this gallopping cancer, and to corrupt politicians’ life-pensions and accoutrements?

When I was in hospital I got asked 5 times from different people if I was enjabbenated. It was almost like I was the only one not done they had seen. I suggested was it the two heads that gave it away. Some were amused the others not, in fact one young nurse looked terrified.

But just imagine how much you can sell your unvax’d sperm in the near future.

I assume you will offer free servicing for the young nurses 😉

Actually, this is not what people have voted for!

Really big problem in this country, & the West generally, is that the MSM are the enemy of the people.

If the MSM actually sniffed out all this bullshit & let everyone know about it, then there’s a very good chance people would not vote for this.

Great … then he doesn’t have to pay child support, right? Right?

I know a bloke whose wife ignored an order by the Family Court that she wasn’t to take the children out of the State, then threatened to have him arrested when he stopped paying child support…

About twenty years back, a crazy sheila murdered her three children. She and the father were divorced and, the usual thing, no one believed him when he said she may hurt the children.
After she had been convicted and sent to prison, he applied to the court to stop paying child support as, sadly, the children were no longer.

The Family Court sent him a very nasty letter stating that he must continue to pay said child support as the mother would need a nest egg to get on with her life once she had finished her sentence.

I know he appealed, but I lost track at the time so do not know how the case ended.

Would not have been surprised if he had lost the appeal.

There seem to be many more women posting anti-govt material on Twitter lately.

I am assuming that they have finally woken up that a fascist government is actually a greater threat to them and their children than a virus.

As men, we should encourage this thought process.

Seems like the police have started cracking down on the truck protests in Ottawa, dismantlement is taking place.

Anecdote o’clock:
a young trainee doctor acquaintance of mine is doing rotations through the various departments of a country hospital.
Yesterday he described the unvaccinated patients as “morons”.

My fear is that he learned that attitude from the status quo thinking of senior staff at the two hospitals he has worked at.

What is all this bullshit that the Qld premier Palachook rabbits on about the amount of deaths per this period.
What period….It must be something to do with her period….
Because the Gov’t website states that on average the number of Australian deaths is 3.7 per hour.
By the way that figure is not compulsory …. it is an average.

It has been so prior to, as well as during the manufactured covid disaster crap.

Just believe in the science folks as most of us non vaccinated folk do

Don’t listen to the ‘old wives’ and alchemists above.

The real solution is to wash the sheets in scotch whisky. Then leave them to dry in the sunshine. Do not iron them.

Vicki Campion could be in a lot of trouble

Gasp.

It’s Vikki. Vikki Campion. With one k after another, using the same mindset that gave people names like Jaxxon, Rhyhynnyn and Schapelle.

Yesterday he described the unvaccinated patients as “morons”.

Physician, heal thyself.

The real solution is to wash the sheets in scotch whisky.

Presumably after drinking the scotch?

From that T T Shimbakuro et. al., paper:

Among 3958 participants enrolled in the v-safe pregnancy registry, 827 had a completed pregnancy, of which 115 (13.9%) resulted in a pregnancy loss and 712 (86.1%) resulted in a live birth (mostly among participants with vaccination in the third trimester).

So really it doesn’t rule out long term fertility effects.

Not real analysis, but thinking things through. For the UK:

https://www.tommys.org/baby-loss-support/pregnancy-loss-statistics

An estimated 1 in 5 pregnancies ended in miscarriage (1 in 8 if we only count women who realised/reported the miscarriage)

and

716,704 births were registered in 2020 (613,935 England & Wales; 46,809 Scotland; 55,959 Northern Ireland)
There were 2,638 stillbirths in 2020 (2,371 England & Wales; 198 Scotland; 69 Northern Ireland)

So 0.36% stillbirths and12.5% miscarriage – very rough.

13.9% v 12.87%

I know the populations are different, but that’s possibly as increase of around 8%.

I accept the risks are low but we are being lied to – not specifying what the risks are for different individuals and any relative increases of risk.

If you look closely, the science behind the covid health advice is slowly unravelling or at least becoming more visible.
ABC news reports that 2 Aussie Winter Olympics competitors (the curling team) are allowed to stay and compete despite one of them having a positive covid test.
Normally, a positive test results in being sent home immediately.
Why the exemption in this case?
A person returning a positive PCR test with a Ct value above 30 was “very unlikely to be infectious”.
A full description of Ct values is provided and this bell ringer was included by the ABC – “not get people excluded who are not really infectious,”

So its all right to give athletes an exemption from draconian restrictions but the populace of Australia is not given the benefit of the doubt when using high cycle numbers during the testing process.
Bastards.

The Shimbakuro paper implies that there is as higher pregnancy loss rate for trimester II and further back mRNA vaccinated women, higher than the trimester III mRNA vaccinated women, and possibly more than the background rate in a first world country.

This is actually a pretty big deal but the headline stole the attention.

The Nation Review (RIP) used to have an Eggbeater Award each week for the biggest beatup non-story in the press.

The problem with trying to do this today is that there are not enough eggbeaters to use as awards.

However, I nominate this as a worthy recipient, no prizes for guessing the source:

Nearly 50 public schools in New South Wales are relying on deliveries of bottled water, it has been revealed.

The issue was raised by NSW Labor during budget estimates late last year when the Department of Education provided a list of 46 schools that could not access safe drinking water via other sources.

The horror! And there’s more:

The principal of Carrathool Public School in the western Riverina, Mary-Ann Headon, said large bottles of water were delivered more than 200 kilometres from Wagga Wagga to the school, which had five students.

“This started before I arrived here five years ago, but the department deemed that the water, the potable water that comes from a water tank or some other source that’s not filtered, may not be suitable for drinking,” she said.

“There is bore water available, but some also buy the bottled water, particularly if they don’t like the taste of the bore water.”

Something Should Be Done:

Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of NSW Riverina representative Saba Nabi said she was “surprised” by the situation.

“In this day and age, I feel that all schools in NSW should have access to potable water irrespective of their location,” she said.

“I mean, this is a basic amenity and I understand and I feel for the schools and the kids.

“I really wish that the department [would come] up with a very permanent solution to something very alarming.“

They do have access to potable water. In fact, the bottled water would be considerably better than the dam or river water supplied in a lot of country towns.

Perhaps if they were given more money, TheirABC’s reporting would be of a higher standard. 😉

Meanwhile, an Eggbeater Award is richly deserved.

Yep, never drink rain water or bore water.

So it looks as though East Germany took over West Germany. I would have though chopping down forests would be the last thing you’d do if you want to soak up CO2.

How fucked can you get? Equally as fucked as pommys importing wood chips from the US to burn in a former coalie.

Employers can’t get workers, or if they can, only if they get to work from home unsupervised.

speedbox. Also check out the NSW weekly covid report

In many regions, up to 40% of PCR tests have been positive, with some regions (SW Sydney, Byron) recording 10% positive case rate by head of population (10,000 cases per 100k population) since December.

They’re the ones we know of, who got tested.

Then take that ABC article you linked (rule of thumb of only 1 in four detected) – that’s 40% of the population of some regions.

In all honesty Rex, if I was minted, I would commission some tapestries.
