FDA tries to weasel out of ever claiming it told people not to take ivermectin
Well, now we know why there was all this sudden amnesty talk going on to coddle and excuse COVID’s tyrants.
Obviously, they’re on the hot seat. They mocked and abused anyone trying to take ivermectin on an emergency off-label basis during a pandemic as stupid horse-paste abusers, evoking the specter of those who sniff glue or take TidePods to get high, to the extent that they put out public service announcements brimming with schoolyard-style scoldings on Twitter. Such as this one, here:
Context is important here. The mocking meme came in response to testimony from famous podcaster Joe Rogan who stated that his doctor-prescribed ivermectin regimen against COVID worked very well for him, killing his COVID case dead in a matter of days.
It also came as word from less-developed African countries, along with India and Peru, were able to stop mass deaths through the use of ivermectin, sometimes actually from the horse paste, given those countries’ lack of health care on a mass basis and their agricultural orientation. It was an effective stopgap measure that even taken haphazardly managed to saved millions of lives.
Which brings us to the lawsuit that triggered this sudden turn to weasel words from the FDA:
The hearing was held in a case brought by three doctors who say the FDA illegally interfered with their ability to prescribe medicine to their patients when it issued statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive results in some trials against COVID-19.
Ivermectin is approved by the FDA but not for COVID-19. Drugs are commonly used for non-approved purposes in the United States; the practice is known as off-label treatment.
If this is not a case that screams for investigation into the tentacles of Big Pharma and the corruption of the FDA, what is?
Lucky Seven?

An Aussie in Idaho gets skint.
“An elderly couple’s adorable Mini Australian shepherd dog was filleted just three miles away from where four students were brutally murdered weeks later, sparking fears the same warped creep may be behind both attacks.
Pam and Jim Colbert’s dog Buddy was fatally skinned and sliced after being let out of their home in Moscow, Idaho, on October 21.
Pam, 78, says the 12 year-old pooch, who’d been rescued from a puppy mill, only had fur left on his legs and face after being defiled by an unknown sicko.”
Reminds me of the movie Gorky Park set in the other Moscow, which also had dead students, skinning and furry stuff going on. The perp does indeed sound like a sicko, so I forgive the Daily Mail their hyperbole.

Samizdata quote of the day – US political dumpster fire edition
DeSantis is the more competent and qualified candidate for the GOP banner, but the thing is he has time on his side and a second term of FL Governor to take care of until 2028. Trump doesn’t. Presumably a fair sized chunk of the 65% had not joined those dots last week.
If You Think Bob Iger Will Make Disney Better, I’ve Got Sour News for You
There are few companies that deserve more contempt than Disney. It’s an organization that built itself on wonder and magic, gifting children warm memories of adventures, princesses, and memorable stories but was overtaken by unapologetic activists bent on making the company a mouthpiece for their ideologies.
Soon, the magic kingdom was given over to lesser people, and instead of releasing products that merged creativity and joy, they wheeled out remakes, reboots, and unimaginative tripe that followed the demands of radical activists and Chinese dictators. You can’t even get on Disney+ and watch old classics without Disney giving you a guilt trip about it first.
While many people have opinions on where Disney began to sink, I can tell you that it didn’t start with outgoing CEO Bob Chapek.
But it was Iger that set this game plan for the company. Chapek was just the stooge that took the football and ran with it after Iger handed it off to him.
For starters, Iger has deep connections with China. As Fox News reported, Iger opened the doors for China’s control over the company. Iger began courting China in 2010 when he went on an apology tour with then-CEO Michael Eisner over the film Kundun, a biography of the Dalai Lama. From there he began trying to open theme parks in Shanghai:
Iger has never addressed the human rights abuses being suffered in China, especially the Uyghur Muslims and the concentration camps they’re kept in.
However, he has no problem weighing in on matters in America. When Georgia’s heartbeat bill passed, Iger said that Disney would likely no longer film there. Iger also resigned from President Donald Trump’s business advisory council after he withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords. Iger also began following the protocols of woke culture after promising to begin hiring people based on race and sex in order to diversify Disney, including within its executive ranks.
If you’re betting that Iger will turn the company around, then rest assured, he will not. While I’m willing to be pleasantly surprised, Iger will likely do whatever it takes to get Disney’s ESG score higher, which means a lot more leftist nonsense is in store for the house that Walt built.
Iger is not the man to lead Disney, and all clues point to him making its problems even worse.

Feminist Scholar Says Children Should Be ‘Raised by Society as a Whole’ in ‘Abolish the Family’ Speech at Major University
Scholar’s ‘Abolish the Family’ speech hosted at UMass Boston
Hillary Clinton once famously wrote a book titled “It Takes A Village.” One feminist scholar is taking that argument one step further, arguing children should be raised by society rather than just their parents.
An expert on “feminist, trans and queer politics and philosophy,” scholar Sophie Lewis on Nov. 16 spoke at UMass Boston at an event named after her October 2022 book, “Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation.”
Lewis has said in her various writing and interviews that her goal through “abolishing the family” is to reimagine the notion of the family past fatherhood and motherhood into a more universal sense, where children are not “property” of parents, but raised by society as a whole.
“Let us overthrow, in short, the ‘family,’” its online description states.

Tokyo encourages residents to wear turtlenecks to save energy (19 Nov)
“TOKYO – Trying to stay warm while cutting energy bills this winter? Wear a turtleneck, says Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.
Ms Koike, wearing one herself under a jacket, encouraged residents to don turtleneck jumpers, both to stay warm and as a way of reducing energy consumption.
“Warming the neck has a thermal effect. I’m wearing a turtleneck myself, and wearing a scarf also keeps you warm.
“This will save electricity,” Ms Koike told reporters on Friday.”

Trump or DeSantis?
November 18, 2022
It’s the most anticipated heavyweight bout since Ali vs. Frazier. Donald Trump officially announced this week that he’s running for president in 2024, and it’s well-known that he only has one serious competitor for the GOP nomination: Florida governor Ron DeSantis (even though DeSantis hasn’t announced his run yet).
This puts conservatives in a quandary: Trump or DeSantis? The former president who brought down Roe, or the governor who faced down the Covid Regime? The man who promised to make American great again, or the one who made Florida a great place to live?

After Intersectionalism
As ideology takes a back seat to intergroup competition, the future of ethnic conflict in America is going to look more like the past
Populist conservatives, meanwhile, fervently hope minorities like Latinos and Asians will go wholesale to the right, as many white ethnics did, becoming Reagan Democrats or Trump supporters. This may be wishful thinking, but in 2020 when Donald Trump—a man routinely labeled “racist,” along with his tens of millions of voters, by the mainstream media—gained a significantly larger share of the Latino vote than his predecessors, particularly in Florida and Texas, and picked up some support among African Americans as well. This pattern appears to have continued in the 2022 midterms, at least according to exit polls, with the GOP winning upwards of 40% of the Latino vote.
Equally intriguing has been the evolution of the Asian American community, with 27% of Asian Americans supporting Trump in 2016 and 31% in 2020. Some of this shift may be a reaction to the wave of violence inflicted upon Asians, often by African American assailants, whose actions, in the bizarre BIPOC formulation, are based not on interracial tensions but rather “white nationalism.” Many Asians also own small businesses vulnerable to the current crime wave, and San Francisco’s large Asian population played an outsize role in recalling the city’s prosecutor, Chesa Boudin, signaling their opposition to liberal policies like bail bond reform and softer sentences for criminals.
Even less popular among Latinos are progressive social orthodoxies—gender fluidity, new pronouns, sexual reassignment surgeries—which are not issues of concern for most minority working families. Latinos have certainly not taken to being called “Latinx,” with barely 4% of them embracing the term despite the academic-media duopoly’s best efforts to foist it upon “Latinx” people in the interest of gender politics.
The Democrats are now starting to take notice of Latinos’ growing support for Republican candidates and policies.
Evident in the changing politics of the Asian and Latino communities is the fact that America’s diversity is, well, diversifying. By 2050, according to Pew, Latinos will account for 29% of the American population, more than twice the Black share. Asians, meanwhile, will grow from a population of almost 12 million in 2000 to more than three times that number by midcentury. Taken together, Latinos and Asians will account for 40% of Americans and the vast majority of nonwhites
The real question is not how to prevent ethnic groups from uniting into some potential revolutionary force aimed at overthrowing the “white” majority, but how to integrate them into the broader economy and society. Doing so will not mean the elimination of all ethnic conflict, which, at its most basic level, is a healthy expression of minority groups fighting for their voice in a democratic society.

‘I’d still govern for them’: Matthew Guy makes pitch to undecided voters ahead of debate (22 Nov)
“Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has made a pitch to undecided voters ahead of the Sky News- Herald Sun People’s Forum tonight.
“I want Victorians to know that they can move on from the division, from the intimidation from this government,” Mr Guy said during a media conference on Tuesday.
“It’s now within our reach as a state to actually get something positive for all of us, working for us, to fix the health crisis, to deal with cost of living but a government that works for every Victorian, even those who don’t vote for me.”
That’s very comforting Mr Guy since almost everyone isn’t going to vote for you.

Vic voters have to decide if they want another four years of ‘an incompetent government’ i Min 59 Secs
Sky News host Peta Credlin says Victorian voters have to decide “whether they really want another four years of incompetent and unprincipled government” in this week’s state election.
“Or whether they want to give the opposition a chance to clean up the mess and get Victoria back on track before it’s too late,” she said.
“Voting a Bad Government out, rather than Voting an Opposition in, that to me is a No Brainer”
Da Spender has discovered gas.
Government needed to put more pressure on gas companies from ‘beginning of their term’ (22 Nov)
“Independent MP Allegra Spender says the government should have been putting more pressure on gas companies from the “beginning of their term”, as discussions continue on whether to implement price controls on the industry.
“Because Australian businesses, Australian households are really, really hurting and the gas companies, they’re not making … extra money because they made good investments,” Ms Spender told Sky News Australia.
“They’re making money because there is a war in the Ukraine.” “
I suppose it’s an improvement that she now realizes that Australian businesses and households need gas, despite it being forbidden by Gaia. I love though that she thinks price controls are necessary. Maybe that’s a feature not a bug since every time anyone in government puts price controls on something suddenly it becomes impossible to obtain. But she clearly empathizes with the peasants. Empathically even. Entertaining also that she’s discovered Ukraine exists. I wonder whether she could find it on a map?
I mentioned this a couple of days ago. Sack Dan Andrews is a front for the vote whisperer Glen Drury. He bragged about this whilst talking to Heston Russell and Chris Burson of Angry Victorians Party. He also mentioned he controlled the preferences for a number of minor parties.
Interview all over the Internet but places to see it include Facebook page of Turning Point Australia or web page of Reignite Democracy Australia (RDA).
There was discussion about who should get medals for opposing vaccines etc.
Monica Smit of RDA definitely one who stood up.
Plus there have been cops such as Steve Kelly from NSW, Krystle Mitchell VIC and Ben Falconer WA and many more.
Lawyers who fought mandates cases such as Tony Nicolic from Sydney and ex judge Stuart Lindsay from Adelaide.
Many Dr’s such as Mark Hobart, Flying Duk, Andrew McIntyre, Robert Brennan and Phillip Altman to name just a few.
Senators Antic, Rennick and Roberts. Ex MP’s Craig Kelly and George Christensen.

No ‘political mandate’ or ‘economic justification’ for IR bill: Credlin – 2 Mins 52 Secs
Sky News host Peta Credlin says the trouble with the government’s industrial relations bill is there is no “political mandate” or “economic justification” for it.
“Labor said nothing about this industry-wide bargaining push prior to the election. In fact, it denied it had such plans,” Ms Credlin said.
“But now, it’s ‘absolutely essential’ Labor says, to ‘get wages moving’.
“And sure, Labor did promise to increase real wages, just like it promised to cut power bills by $275 – but never specified how it would be done.”
Ms Credlin said this government was always going to have a “heavy union-led agenda”.
flyingduk, Good job.
Now for a formal complaint about the perjury committed by the serving officers.
All depending on your level of enjoyment in keeping the overly comfortable afflicted..
Well done, flyingduk!
The AFP should never have brought those charges, but in a political system almost as corrupt as Victoria’s (Canberra’s), the territory government’s corrupt politicians were encouraging the cops to try it on to protect the public service’s incompetent health bureaucrats.
Difference is the AFP’s phoney charges get thrown out at the first court hearing.
Great news Flying Duk.
In view of the police evidence, loss of their footage and your footage, court result etc you should definitely make a formal complaint against the police.
Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, false evidence etc.
Just to make their organisation squirm and to let them know there will be consequences.

PS Duk,
See if Ben Fordham or Rowan Dean or Spectator mag interested in hearing details of the case.
Although might have to consider if might hurt any pending AHPRA issues.
The lodged group voting tickets for the Victorian upper house are at https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/candidates-and-parties/become-a-state-election-candidate/groups-and-voting-tickets .
Use them to see how your vote will travel if you vote above the line. Be suspicious of any party that puts undesirables too high up the order. Apart from the ALP, Greens and (open) socialists, watch for the Animal Welfare party (Meddick), Reason (Patten), Transport Masters (Barton).
I’m prefering the prospect of Family First, LDP, One Nation, Palmer (okay, hit and miss, but not Gliberal), and perhaps others I cannot recall off the top of my head.
I guess parties from previous elections may have more credibility than those created for this election – some of the newbie parties may be genuine or may be a front. Researching the details is more work than in inclined to do today.
Woo hoo, duckman! Yes, yes, yes. 🙂

‘Costs’ is a formula, not actual, but will be substantial, given my $550 an hour representation.
Can anyone explain how the Vicco voting system that people are claiming to be inherently ‘corrupt’ is any different from the system for voting in the Senate?
There is no room for such police in a country that supposedly lives by the rule of law.
I’ve always maintained that if someone is caught out trying to stitch up another for a crime they didn’t commit, the perjurer should be in line for the maximum allowed under that same charge. Ie. try to frame someone for murder, your perjury gets you a life sentence.
The standard slap on the wrist for perjury is insufficient when you tried to cost someone a whole lot more.
This would see people’s integrity (and memories) return.
But Duk,
I presume you’ve undergone serious emotional and psychological damage (seriously, not being funny).
That should be worth a cool couple o’ mill. **thumbs up**
I can’t express how happy I am for you Duk.
And as for the AFP…chuck ‘em in it!
Duk,
Should be another appearance on Club Grubbery as John and Graham will be very happy about the news.
There needs to be a good summary somewhere online so people can share in order that the cops behaviour can be widely known.
For a start did Canberra Times cover the story and have they reported on not guilty finding.
Forgot to mention. An important element of any complaint is the fact they tried to use the arrest to impose a bail condition to prevent you taking part in a lawful protest. That condition led to you spending 6 nights in jail.
It is a fairly strong and serious complaint against police you have and hard for them to write it off. Makes the officers sweat and the AFP waste resources and having to prepare an answer to such a complaint.
it is something where the AFP Commissioner should be grilled on TV about it but we know that is not going to happen.
You could have fun if you want to burrow into their policies and procedures.
On the face of it their adherence to the code of conduct for AFP chaps is in question.

It already did – I have contemporaneous vision of an ACT Police Inspector telling a reporter, in public, that ‘a protestor was arrested for striking a road worker with his vehicle’.
Given the omission of ‘alleged’, thats something they are going to have to correct.
Joh, the Victorian upper house is the old senate system with group voting tickets lodged by each party for each upper house district from which five representatives are elected. It often results in two Lib, two ALP and one random (often the most popular independent).
So, vote a single 1 above the line and possibly cede control to Glenn Drury or number every name below the line.
All seats are up for election, unlike the senate.

Sorry to hear about that (not the go fcuk bit but that you have lost job due to this insanity) as the country needs Dr’s and volunteers like you. Just as we needed the many other Dr’s, health workers and cops Etc.

Huzzah!
calli,
great GIF fits my elder daughter perfectly and have sent it to her
yes, I SMS’d Hoody earlier .
For now … out to dinner with my daughter, probably after fixing something that one of her horses broke at her place.
Waves.
Yeah, when the war broke out rivers of money just suddenly started pouring into their pockets without them having to do anything. Funny thing about blind luck – it still somehow manages to zero in on people who are able to make the most of it while it passes the less alert and less ready by.
I suspect that Ms Allegra (get/stuffed) has benefited handsomely from the activity and shortages of land to profit through property market. She did not make the property, but other people have created a windfall. Is that fair*?
How would she feel about rent controls? Stop people being crushed under the burden of rents at a time when inflation is on the rise.
She should announce her support for it to her voters next time round. Or at the next shitty-art soiree.

Conservative event: we’ll bill you for our attendance…
Many thanks, NKP at 1.37pm, for the list of candidates in this Saturday’s Victorian state election.
The candidate I would urge Cats to support is John Hutchison for the Companions and Pets Party — the opposite of the animal “rights” loons.
The Companions and Pets Party supports farming with animals, animal husbandry and the horse-racing industry with the hundreds of thousands of jobs it creates — a lone voice of reason among the fruit loops campaigning for animal “rights”, who think animals should be allowed to roam free in the bush without human interaction.
Flyingduk Not Guilty. Got off on a technicality says monty.
Well done, Duk! At last, one for the good guys.
Reading back, I find this snobbish gem from Lizzie:
But not in downmarket Queanbeyan, where I actually live. That would be a bridge too far. Driving that extra few kms through the light industrial area, surrounded by light trucks and semis – oh, my!
There are six (at least) coffee outlets within a kilometer of where I am, and the competition is fierce. What’s more, many of them open at 7 am or earlier, to cater for the tradies.
The coffee is very good indeed. As good as I have tasted in the fanciest joints in Sydney or Melbourne. And, it is considerably cheaper.
Snobs gotta snob.
Go The Duck!
Now go them for compensation!
A Sydney primary school is teaching a “fake history play” that Captain Cook landed in Australia in 1788 with the First Fleet as a “coloniser” – when in fact the explorer was long dead by then.
Parents have complained to One Nation MP Mark Latham about the “woke” rewriting of history, which is being taught to Year 2 children at Mount Kuring-Gai Public School, in Sydney’s north.
The children have been given an adapted script of the “Somebody’s Land” book written by former footballer Adam Goodes and Ellie Lang, which says it is set in 1788 and “reflects the colonisation of Australia”.
Stage directions state: “The colonisers and Captain Cook are standing still in the boat with their hands on their hips looking down on the Indigenous Peoples.”
A character playing Captain Cook states: “I see no owners of the land. I think I’ll take it for myself”.
Captain James Cook conducted a voyage of discovery of Australia in 1770 and died in 1779. He was not involved in the 1788 settlement of Australia by Casptain Arthur Phillip, New South Wales’ first governor.
The play also requires all children to recite that they “live, learn and play on this stolen and unceded land”.
Mr Latham has questioned NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell about the “rewriting” of history and slammed the primary school teacher’s “appalling” lack of knowledge about Australia’s history.
“This attempt to demonise Captain Cook is plain wrong and pathetic,” he said.
“It’s historically wrong and inaccurate to fit him up as being part of the 1788 settlement of the country.
“The play contains statements about stolen land. It’s appalling that this historical inaccuracy is pushed on these kids – it’s a fake history play.”
“If you don’t know our history what are you doing in a school teaching any of it?” he said.
“This is not some obscure thing about settlement, it’s one of the most basic elements of Australian history and the Minister should withdraw it and find out where it’s come from.”
Ms Mitchell has been contacted for comment.

Very telling that last two ODI’s between England and Australia have netted around the same amount of viewers/attendees at AFLW.
I wonder if just a coincidence following a more exciting T20 world cup or if more related to woke cricket, Justin Langer sacking, petal players and Warner (cheater) possible captaincy?
Good on you Duk, well done.
Re the ‘Sack Dan’ party, I looked at their ticket for the Northern Vic Region, they’ve Animal Justice at 2nd then LDP after that a bit of a mish mash, no consistent theme of favouring freedom parties. The LDP also has Animal Justice high on their preferences, so do several other small parties. It’s as if they want another Andy Meddick if it helps them to get elected. The ABC has a good roundup of all the preferences for each party in each seat here https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/vic/2022/guide/gvt-index
I was told by the LDP that they’ve preferenced Animal Justice to improve their own chance of success. I told them I was disgusted and resigned form the party yesterday, won’t make much difference but I cannot support a party that sups with the devil.

“Bear – What would the compound word for “involuntary transgenderization”?”
something with “permastrapadicktome” in it for the F to M, I s’pose… Other than that, I dunno.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been confronted by one of Eugowra’s frustrated locals in his first visit to the flood-devastated town, after being questioned “where have you been the last week?”
Eugowra plasterer Anthony Robinson was one of more than a hundred locals who were plucked from the roofs of their homes when disaster struck last Monday.
When the Prime Minister and NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet visited on Tuesday, he was quick to ask where Australia’s leader had been before then.
“Not to get off on the wrong foot … but all through the election one of your slogans was (you weren’t) here to hold a hose,” he said, catching the Prime Minister out the front of the town post office which has just reopened for business.
“We’re have you been sir? … Where have you been the last week? … People need you here sir.”
The Prime Minister responded that he had been overseas representing Australia at international summits.

LOL! on Twaddle just now, comrade Phillip Adams has made an obvious attempt to dox someone who has written a complaint directly to him by taking a screenshot of the email.

‘Costs’ = may at best cover 1/3 of Duk’s out of pocket.
(Based on usual outcome)
As Duk says, it is a formula, rather than any attempt at compensation.
Example: $550 p hr for Duk’s barrister. Formula will probably be: Barrister, per day: $900
Incidentals, eg Duk’s commute to court, lodgings, tucker, lost income coz time off work, …. Zero.

I normally ignore the carry-ons on this blog, in this instance I’m going to say something. How bloody petty, Johanna. I’ve lived in Queanbeyan over half my life and I couldn’t give a shit if someone refers to it as Canberra because for all intents and purposes it is. When I travel overseas I say I’m from Canberra or ‘near Canberra’.
It appears to me that you will grasp at anything to express your dislike for a person you’ve never met. That reflects more on the content of your character than the person you constantly attack.
For those of you who were wondering …. decision just handed down

2) Aggravated dangerous driving (max penalty 300 penalty points/3 years imprisonment and loss of licence) – NOT GUILTY
3) Common Assault (max penalty 2 years imprisonment) – NOT GUILTY
4) Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (max penalty 5+ years imprisonment) – NOT GUILTY

There IS a God. Duk – you are a legend.
This was such an important case & restores some faith in our justice system. The “authorities” have largely escaped censure for the wicked disregard of our legal rights over the past years of Covid. There is no doubt in my mind that the police in particular allowed their personal distaste of the anti-vaccination protesters to go beyond the law in many, many cases. We experienced that ourselves in rural NSW.
We need the outcome of your case to be made more widely known. It will give some recompense to those who did not have the wherewithal to fight wrongful arrest, police brutality and other malfeasance.
Congratulations again, Duk!!!!
At the risk of understatement, they’re frickin mad.

I’ve always maintained that if someone is caught out trying to stitch up another for a crime they didn’t commit, the perjurer should be in line for the maximum allowed under that same charge. Ie. try to frame someone for murder, your perjury gets you a life sentence.

138. If a man wishes to divorce his wife who has not borne him children, he shall give her money to the amount of her marriage price and he shall make good to her the dowry which she brought from her father’s house and then he may divorce her.
141. If the wife of a man who is living in her husband’s house, has persisted in going out, has acted the fool, has waster her house, has belittled her husband, he shall prosecute her. If her husband has said, “I divorce her,” she shall go her way; he shall give her nothing as her price of divorce. If her husband has said “I will not divorce her” he may take another woman to wife; the wife shall live as a slave in her husband’s house.

Can someone point out to the ABC that many of the population were actually born here, and are therefore indigenous. It is quite unnecessary to incessantly recite ‘welcome to country’. We are here, and intend to stay here. Similarly with the current obsession with ‘Aboriginal’ music. Composed by, played by, sung by. OK, some of it may have merit, but much is tedious, unlistenable, and cannot be regarded as fit for Classic FM. How much more is going to be rammed down our throats by the ‘elites’? For Christ’s sake, leave us alone.
The local councils always seem keen to implement policies that a state government would never be brave* enough to do.
* Brave – in a Sir Humphrey meaning of the word.
When I travel overseas I say I’m from Canberra or ‘near Canberra’.
I’ve lived in Oz since 1967 but as I still have a, fairly broad, Geordie accent I’m often asked where I come from .. I , usually, say Newcastle simply because I know non “Toon” folk are not well versed on the multitude of pit villages in the Northumberland/County Durham area .. mine is sooo small that not many folk who live in “Geordie-land” know it .. so expecting “furriners” too might be a bit much .. LOL!
Rugby skier,
Beat me to it regarding Canberra and the coffee invite.
What a relief for Duk. Well done, doc.
Ask a resident how he or she feels about being an honorary Canberran. I guarantee that the 100% response will be negative, except for a few of the noveau riche in Jerrabomberra.
Where is this coming from?
As for the ‘content of my character’ – again, where the hell is that coming from? What do you know about it? Have I let down your tyres or something?
Sheesh.
“Bear – What would the compound word for “involuntary transgenderization”?”
Oh – what about “yahddacutyabitzoff”?
The Prime Minister responded that he had been overseas representing Australia at international summits.
But he’s set aside 2 x 4 days visits* to Oz in late 2024 for “meet, greet & vote for us” meetings ..
* subject to change without notice ..!
What happened to flyingduk was disturbing because if it happened to him it could happen to any of us. Congrats on having a victory, it demonstrates the importance of having a dashcam and recording any interaction with the police because they cannot be trusted now, which pains me to say as the grandson of a policeman and nephew of two.
I’m serious, rugbyskier – what is the basis for your claims?

I wonder if the same level of poor knowledge was present in the horrible explosion at Manly West primary school yesterday – an outdoors science experiment hit by high winds, with eleven children hospitalised including one young girl who was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
Well done Duk, so happy for you.
Excuse me, teacher, does this mean YOUR house stands on stolen and unceded land?

Pity there are no consequences other than a waste of taxpayers’ money.
In Victoria new developments effectively can’t use gas, because they can’t meet the required energy ratings if they do.
And I see Melbourne airport will be net zero by 2025.
It’s insidious.
A motorist has demanded answers after road authorities rejected his new registration plates because they take a cheeky swipe at Labor premier Daniel Andrews.
VicRoads cancelled his ‘DANOUT’ plates just days out from the state election as the Premier battles to convince voters to give him and his Labor government a third consecutive term.
Peter was bewildered to learn his new plates he’d already paid and registered for were ‘offensive’, especially when his other plates RUDDUD – in reference to former prime minister Kevin Rudd – were previously approved and are still used to this day.
Daily Mail
If it walks like a duk and talks like a duk and videos like a duk it had to be 4-0. Not quite as good as 7nillagain but good for a first try. Way to go Duk.
To paraphrase a well-known meme from memory alone, she can fuck off and keep fucking off until she gets there, upon which she can fuck off some more.
It preys on the pure ignorance of people unfamiliar with Marxism’s war on the family as the great bulwark against it. An old feud with another weak spin. As if anyone wants their nosy neighbours having a say in their children’s lives.
Lies, damned lies and net zero airports.

Outstanding, duk. I’m so pleased for you.
The gas thing must have been a national daily talking point. It made the ALPBC Radio “News” with a vox pop with some green loon from the Climate Council. Pure ALPBC.
I think Andrews may be cooked.
Don’t know if it’s the unions or not but firefighters have their own campaign against him now.
Just saw an ad on You Tube – and I’m in NSW!
Congratulations!
AFP to pay costs
This is extremely satisfying. I know from experience (don’t ask) that there’s nothing the police hate and fear more than “being criticised” and/or having to pay costs. You can be confident that someone’s promotion prospects have been seriously affected!
So, Daniel Andrew, Victorian Labor and the left in general think that the state of Victoria is a hotbed of National Socialism and there are Nazis everywhere. Well, of course they don’t believe that. However it’s a useful smear tactic, aimed firstly at distracting the electorate, and secondly it’s designed to intimidate and silence opposition. Nobody wants to be called a racist or a Nazi. Now, moving forward watch federal Labor use the same tactic to smear and silence conservatives, right-wingers and libertarians. Everyone who isn’t progressive, and who isn’t a leftist is now “far-right”, “racist”, “Nazi”.
What’s both amusing and troubling is that Danny boy, with a straight face, says how much he’s worried about the “divisive Americanisation” of Australian politics and yet in the next breath he starts shouting about the Liberals preferencing Nazis and racists.
Whilst not a fan of Matthew Guy, to his credit yesterday afternoon, when asked about Andrews’ smear, did finally show some spine and say that Andrews should look in the mirror.
I hope Danny the hunchback is defeated on Saturday. I don’t have much hope but you never know.

There is no doubt in my mind that the police in particular allowed their personal distaste of the anti-vaccination protesters to go beyond the law in many, many cases.
Personal distaste, or personal envy and frustration? Remember that the various police services all had vaxx mandates.
This is not to excuse their utterly unprofessional behaviour, simply to note that they too, in many cases, were under sometimes extreme pressure.
An interesting point. Presumably the decision about bail conditions was made by a more senior officer who was not part of the arresting party. Wonder if they viewed the “evidence” after the arresting party returned to station. Or did the evidence disappear from a secure location later on. At what point did the police realise the crucial evidence had gone missing.
All I have read about this case is pretty much from this blog. However it seems there are multiple angles of complaint.
For example details of the calls made by the officers on the ground back to base. Who were they to and what about ? Was the decision to arrest made by somebody not present and who did not have full details. This then led to the fit up.
Can a FOI reveal the contents of the calls or have they been wiped after a certain period.
Make me sweat as an example to the others.
“nothing else, the ‘loss’ of the AFP body cam which would have exonnerated me demonstrates the need for greater procedural tightness about the capture and storage”
The problem for Andrews & the Victorian ALP:
The genpop aren’t swallowing the “Nazis” bullshit. The public know this is bullshit.
Nobody in Victoria has seen a Nazi outside a history book. There’s no mobs of skinheads marching in the streets, chanting “Sieg Heil”, waving looks-like-swastika banners & most important, no mobs of remotely white skinned people threatening or instilling fear into anybody.
The Victorian public do however, know which ethnic group to be afraid of in the streets, which one is likely to mug, slash, burgle, carjack, etc.
All those bollards & extra security installed into Victorian homes are not to protect suburbanites from Nazis.
The Victorian public know which ethnic group they’re reading about in countless reports of home invasions with threats of violence to produce car keys.
Dan Andrews gets all blazing eyed & angry over Nazis nobody has ever seen.
The same Dan Andrews when questioned about “Apex gang” “Sudanese thugs” etc acts like an innocent doe, & threatens to jail anybody who tells such “lies”
No wonder it has blown back on him, bigtime.
Hahahaha!!! You have literally no idea do you? The research paper only argued there appeared to be a link between autism and gastro disorders.
The authors faithfully noted that the parents/doctors of the children saw behavioural symptoms following vaccination but Wakefield et al never looked for or found a causal link and explicitly said so.
Here you go Dot. The quote from the paper that proves how brainwashed you are:
“We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described. Virological studies are underway that may help to resolve this issue.”
Now, apologise.
Bravo Duk, Bravo.
On a lighter note, does anyone reckon Adam Goodes recites a “Welcome to Country”, to his white missus every night before she goes to bed? 😉
Joh and Lizzie, why not meet halfway, Dapto greyhounds maybe.
I have more of an idea than you.
It was so bad it was laughable.
What happened to those studies?
I have a better idea. You try improving your IQ score by about 30 points where you can understand the sheer and blatant gall of denying microbes exist at all (how utterly bizarre) and relying on virological studies to win an argument on the internet.
Oh FFS, just shut up, you moron. Americans have never seen a live Nazi either and it’s worked there in painting Republicans as Nazis to the Demonrat base. The hunchback isn’t attempting to persuade the the regular folks. He’s talking to his base and trying to persuade them through fear.

I’m not suggesting there isn’t a problem, but hands-up people living in Victoria living in fear of African gangs? This FNQ dickhead living bullshit artist is absolutely delusional.
No, no, no no no. That will not do at all. That refers to the legal costs incurred in your defence duk, right down to photocopying.
They have deprived you of your liberty. Not for ten minutes or half an hour or four hours, but days.
Allegedly and apparently, the standard for any prosecution to be brought before the courts is twofold – whether it is in the public interest to prosecute, and more importantly whether there is a reasonable prospect of conviction or a finding of guilt.
They have failed on both counts. It is now payday. I have heard it said that in such circumstances, a civil claim for malicious prosecution is an absolute walk-up start.
Name your price. You won’t get your ambit claim, but if the stories I hear are true then you are well in line for high five-figures.

I’ve never denied the existence of microbes. In fact, I’ve pointed out that due to their ubiquity (you may need to look up what that means), if they were remotely pathogenic, then complex life on earth would be impossible.
Do you have any arguments other than to say black is white Dot?
Now apologise to Wakefield. And then to me. And then to humanity for being so dumb and dishonest.
Of course we both know that I never said there were no microbes don’t we Dot?
You can’t argue without blatantly lying.
That’s because you’re wrong.
Lol, Karen is trying to tell me what to say.
Who the fuck do you think you are, you sack of faeces?
I’ll do what I please.
Salvatore:
Another dollie ejected from the pram.
Prove any one of those three claims is true.
FNQ – you got a source for that?
Bullshit artist – yet you’re unable to locate one misleading comment.
Delusional? – perhaps. I believe Liberals are dickheads, Labor are evil, Trump is the man, Musk is running the show very well & you’re unable to control your temper.
All true. No delusion there.
Microbes exist, but they aren’t pathogenic.
Yes this is the real science.
What is botulism? Cholera? Hepatitis caused cirrhosis?
You bring up something from Wakefield’s paper, then claim it has nothing to do with the same paper when no one has done any research to support his (withdrawn) claims.
If microbes aren’t pathogenic then vaccines are not only useless, they’re completely benign.
FMD you’re a waste of space.
Took my first RAT today. A pal is struggling with her health and falls and mental decline so she’s a a respite facility. Thought I’d take her some edible goodies – didn’t realise I ‘d have to run the Karengauntlet.
RAT, masks – all the b/s until I got to her wing where all the staff had their stupid masks hanging from an ear. So I took mine off. How dementia patients are supposed to function with masked zombies I don’t know.
Oh, my test results. Negative, natch. Five stars.
Court Orders CDC to Release Data Showing 18 Million Vaccine Injuries in America
More than 18 million people were injured so badly by their first COVID shot from Pfizer or Moderna that they had to go to the hospital. That’s according to the CDC’s own internal data, which a court just ordered the federal agency to release to a watchdog group.
Score zero for originality there, however, I’m flattered you’re plagiarizing me now even though the context is just wrong.
Language please Driller. Bad language strongly implies bad breeding, remember? Possibly even inbreeding.
Of course. That doesn’t mean we can’t call out your blowhard bullshit, you redneck twerp.
There’s no one in this state voting against the Hunchback because of African gangs, you delusional cockhead. Stick to telling us how influential you are in Gulf Island politics.

I’d be far more concerned about home invasions in certain towns in QLD than Melbourne.
Certainly a problem here a few years ago but haven’t heard much about them lately.
Congratulations on passing rats with flying colours Calli.
I now know why so many people are “testing”. Apart from hypochondriac loons, you have to test before visiting aged care or similar, and of course if you’re on staff.
Gotta keep those numbers up!
I’d say you’re bang on with that.
Here’s your oral diarrhoea from yesterday:
Bad breeding. Even inbreeding.
I go past an (upmarket) oldies home on my way for a morning coffee. Most staff are still masked but the RAT tent at the front door disappeared a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t even have one on being “screened” into Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital emergency a couple of weeks ago. It’s over.
Victor Davis Hanson: The Strange Morality Of The Bay-Area Billionaire Left
How does the most sophisticated financial system in the history of civilization allow a virtue-signaling nerd to nearly wreck it?
Albo got off lightly.
It is the way of the times for people who experience natural disasters to expect financial support from the government.
Albo has just committed to handing over 2 trillion dollars to furriners.
Eggsactly Driller, stick to the lofty standards you expect of others, you redneck twerp. Now stop trying to change the subject.
Tell us how many Victorians have changed their vote because they live in fear of African gangs. At least, lets say more than 89 voters.
Explain how you arrived at this conclusion, you data mining beer pourer? You blowhard.
I am sure they will be able to go out and harass some more citizens – pensioners, parents, disabled people – to feel better about themselves.
I’m amused that my local pharmacy have moved their RATs to right next to the checkout. A large pile of them. They don’t seem to be selling.
As for me my personal quest is to avoid them. So far my tally of RATs stands at 0.0.
I’m quite proud of that number. 😀

Good for you. If you have time, would you mind explaining how these traffic charges were laid against you and why? It’s the first time I read this happened to you.
On my family wanting to see the dying father/grandad front.
Afetr successfully defeating the gorgon of “your vaccinations arent on the government record, despite you having the green ticks” they were again delayed because.
– You havent provided proof your kids have had their normal childhood/flu immunizations, hydra.
Think thats been resolved as no communication after I sent copies of all the families (including kids) vaccinations- again- straight through to the harpy in charges desk with an invite to phone if there were any other delays as there would be a significant escalation over her head if they didnt get in.
Is like a greek farce – all this to see a dying man very unlikely to see the week out.
They just pinched 50% of the time the poor bastard has left to see his loved ones because they are a bunch of flogs.
Why just this morning I was discussing (over turkish coffee, natch) with the Sultan of Qatar & the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi, how the Gulf Islands should be more open & democratic.
I’m so influential they’re considering legalising sodomy & halting flying tests for gays.
“In fact the reason I am a Liberal is I believe in the right of every single individual to live life according to their conscience, their values, without influence from the government.
She’s a wrecker.
If she was a real Liberal, 4 days out from an Election, she woulda gone to ground and made no comment.
Instead, she’s helping to create an impression of a divided Party.
Right after you back up this “FNQ” you’re always banging on about. Karen.
Oh! I know this one!
Feeling sad causes them.
Look. We are made up from single cells. If single cell lifeforms were dangerous we would be dead as soon as we were conceived.
Because we know the mainstream media flogs won’t touch the duk’s brilliant win against tyranny today, I wonder if it would be worthwhile approaching Rowan Dean to see if he would be interested in duk’s story?
I swear, Perth has a weather forcefield around it.
Big storms only 40-50kms North heading straight toward Perth always dissipate or change direction before hitting… it’s sweaty.
(and no, I’m not suggesting HAARP as nobody, particularly NOAA gives a fuck about Perth)
They just pinched 50% of the time the poor bastard has left to see his loved ones because they are a bunch of flogs.
Meanwhile, you just promoted the Vaccine Schedule for kids, as well as the Covid Vaccine.
Well done, you.
I’m sure you were, Driller.
Of course you are. You told us Barndoor Joyce was said to have been quaking in his boots when he found out he’d dissed you.
Now tell us, you polling genius. How do you know Victorians are quaking in their boots because of Sudanese gangs, you blowhard beer pourer.
Go!
