The Taxpayer is not doing it. The money has been stolen from them and then been thrown at others by the stupid Guv’ment.

The risk for myocarditis from vaccination is greatest for males aged between 12 and 29.
If you aren’t in that cohort you probably have a greater risk of heart problems from covid than the vaccine.
Either way classed as ‘very rare’.

Now they destroy the jobs of what used to be their base, and delight in doing so.

Their recent (last week) post-election revew pointed out that Labor, on 32% of the primary vote, had lost its base, particularly in QLD.

Yet, Liberal-like in their obtuseness, it’s authors still recommended Labor continue with “progressive” social policies that will further alienate its base, not least its conservative ethnic religious base in the outer suburbs of the two major cities.

Thanks to our electoral system, Labor has won government with fewer primary votes than its opposition. Despite that, they’re acting as if they have a mandate for radical change at a time when most Australians are facing their first exeprience in a generation of a decline in living standards.

And, best of all…nobody in the ALP seems to grasp the predicament they’re in.

What is financial abuse?
Financial abuse is often difficult to recognise and is one of the hidden costs of family and domestic violence. It occurs when someone uses money or resources to gain power or control over another person.

HAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHA

Seriously. Who believes this shit?

*I am divorcing you. I bought you three horses and we haven’t been intimate in five years.*

*Do the dishes Johnny Johnson or you don’t get a loan of yer Mum’s 3 Series to take Mary Maiden out on a date tomorrow night.*

Yep, it’s abuse. Brutal as a bloody beating followed by repeated anal raping and violation with a rolling pin.

Coastwatchers Centre a little pricy for supplies so better stocking at Smithfeild. On the take always there: very much avoid the Italian Pizza near the Night Owl, there’s a new bar at the front that I can’t comment on but they have a shisha selection which is very middle eastern. Asian foodeires there seem to be owned by the same mob as the Pizza shop so I would avoid them as well.

The Kebab joint is pretty good still, was much better when a Turkish bloke ran it. Does Pizza & Fish & Chips now seems to be Indians who are pleasant.

On the Beach. Tavern is overpriced & rated IMO. They demolished the old pub years back that had atmosphere. The other restaurant on the beach is ok. Then there’s the Italian restaurant that has been there for a while but honestly I have never frequented. The old Bangkok Rose now Yada Thai is ok on the roundabout.

As I said enjoy. We had good weather other than the beach as a tropical low was off the Cape chopping things up. Was nasty but that has moved off.

OK:
1) why women in Outback communities get clobbered non-stop.

How is the squawk going to stop this – without the woke bullshit of empowerment etc because if it hasn’t worked since the apology, it isn’t going to work at all…

2) why Outback communities actually exist at all, seeing as all of the good infrastructure of the 21st century is in modern town and cities

The only reason they exist is to provide a pool of discontented and abused people.

3) why almost everyone in Outback communities does nothing all day, and the rest of the country pays them to do it

As above.

4) how can someone who is white with blue eyes keep claiming they are being discriminated against for being black

Racism is predicated on one’s appearance. If you look white, there can only be one reason for being discriminated against – that’s behaviour.

5) why Aussie taxpayers keep throwing money into this idiotic situation

Because we have no effective say in it. The whole aboriginal society is in thrall to people who are rich from the situation they’ve created, and they dare not solve the problem because meal ticket.

We can work on this, but it requires we stop the bullshit from the Big Men who have the most to lose.

Why a man who kept a ‘suspicious’ stranger in a chokehold for 14 minutes after chasing him from his front yard will NOT face charges over his death
After his wife spotted a stranger lurking in the front yard of their Melbourne home, Kristen Gascoyne chased the man down and put him in a chokehold.

He thought he could ‘put him to sleep’ until police arrived, but 37-year-old Ahmet Gezer was unconscious and not breathing when officers arrived.

They began CPR immediately but Mr Gezer could not be revived.

Mr Gascoyne, who kept Mr Gezer in the chokehold for 14 minutes after he first fell unconscious, was arrested immediately after the fatal incident.

But police and prosecutors agree there is not enough evidence to support a conviction on any criminal charges he might face.

Halls Creek summit an ‘eye-opener’ on issues

By Paul Garvey
Senior Reporter
@PDGarvey
7:33PM December 8, 2022
1 Comment

The shire president of one of the towns at the centre of the Kimberley’s crime wave says he has a new level of hope after securing a commitment for more housing.

The Kimberley town of Halls Creek on Thursday hosted a summit involving representatives from several government departments – including Communities, Justice, Health and Education as well as police – to try to find solutions to the region’s crime issues.

Halls Creek and other towns across the Kimberley, including Broome, Derby, Fitzroy Crossing and Kununurra, have been beset by increased rates of crime in recent years, primarily perpetrated by young Indigenous offenders. Video footage of some of the crimes have been posted to social media, including disturbing footage of stolen cars attempting to ram fleeing police vehicles.

Shire president Malcolm Edwards said that the meeting had served as an “eye-opener” for some government agencies and had resulted in some real ideas for possible long-term solutions.

“We’ve got some hope on the horizon,” Mr Edwards said.

Overcrowding in homes had long been a problem – the town runs a twice-weekly rubbish collection service to help manage the waste from crammed homes. Mr Edwards said the shire would work with the Department of Housing to better understand the extent of the town’s needs.

The meeting also raised the prospect of recruiting a sport and recreation officer, who could increase sporting programs on offer to Halls Creek youth.

Halls Creek, like much of the Kimberley, has had high rates of school truancy. Mr Edwards said the meeting discussed expanding alternative education programs that focus on getting disengaged students out on country and into culture-focused study.

It also raised the prospect of introducing an Indigenous-specific court, akin to the Murri Court in Queensland. Such a court would incorporate advice and guidance from Aboriginal elders.

Mr Edwards said police were in a “hell of a situation” given the levels of crime in the region.

WA police earlier this year launched Operation Regional Shield in a bid to increase the number of officers in the region and tackle the rise in crime.

And when the advice and guidance from Aboriginal elders is that sex offenders be taken into the bush, and have their penis crushed between two rocks…..

Hunter complained about having to pay for most of the expenses of the whole Biden family. Whether he got paid off on any particular deal is insignificant to the implication that he was generally getting paid from them (to have covered family expenses).

There was a case in Western Australia, way back when, of two of the young fellas raped a girl in an outback community. The local cops made enquiries, and these two charmers claimed they didn’t recognise “white fella’s law”, and they would submit to tribal punishment.

The tribal elders had had more then enough of these two, and their penchant for young girls, so they declared that the girl had some status, under tribal law, and the punishment for violation of that status involved two large stones……guess who couldn’t hand themselves over to the tender mercies of “whitefella” law quickly enough….

Police union calls for inquiry into Lehrmann case after prosecutor alleges interference
By James Massola and Caroline Schelle
Updated December 8, 2022 — 10.30pmfirst published at 6.17pm

The federal police union has called for a judicial inquiry into the Lehrmann case, accusing the ACT’s chief prosecutor of smearing the force’s investigation into the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins.

This followed an extraordinary letter sent to the ACT Chief Police Officer Neil Gaughan in early November, released in full under freedom of information laws to The Guardian, in which ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold, SC, reportedly complains that police engaged in a “very clear campaign to pressure” him not to prosecute Bruce Lehrmann.

He also reportedly wrote that he felt investigators “clearly aligned with the successful defence of this matter” during the trial.

The chief prosecutor reportedly called for a public inquiry to examine “both political and police conduct” relating to the case and suggested that members of the Australian Federal Police had a “strong desire for this matter not to proceed to charge”.

The Australian Federal Police Association issued a statement on Thursday in which it said it “wants to make it extremely clear that the desperate attempts to smear” the AFP and policing were untested.

The union’s president, Alex Caruana, called for a full inquiry, saying it should also assess the conduct of the DPP, the ACT Victims of Crime Commissioner and ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury.

Caruana said the police union would file a formal complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner about the possibility of a Freedom of Information breach by Drumgold.

“The FOI from the ACT DPP to The Guardian, to our knowledge, has no redactions, and it includes personal details of officers involved in the investigation. ACT Policing was not consulted on the release of information and its members’ details.”

The letter was released under FOI laws to The Guardian but has not been released publicly on the DPP’s website as it is supposed to be under disclosure obligations.

This masthead has not been able to independently verify the contents of the letter but when contacted, Drumgold said he would endeavour to have the letter released “tomorrow”. He declined to comment on the claims published in The Guardian.

A reporter was interviewing a 104-year-old woman: “And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?” the reporter asked. She simply replied “No peer pressure”.

When I was in the pub last night, I overheard a couple of idiots saying that they wouldn’t feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman! What a pair of sexist beggars. I mean, it’s not as if she’d have to reverse the thing!

A restaurant has a challenge: We Will Give $500 To Any Customer Whose Order We Cannot Fill. One day, a man sees this sign and decides to take them up on it. So when gets seated, he tells the waitress that he wants an elephant testicle on rye bread. She dutifully takes his order back to the kitchen. A few seconds later he could hear all hell breaking loose in the kitchen: there’s people shouting, swearing, pots and pans banging. A few minutes later, the manager comes out with $500 in hand. “You really got us” he says “this is the first time in ten years we’ve been out of rye bread”.

I was hanging out at the gym today. Note to self: get some longer shorts.

The Glencore thermal mine being mothballed reminds me of a Cold War joke where the Polish President tells the story of the cow designed by Soviet Scientists feeds in Poland and is milked in Russia.
The parallel is unless the benefits of a coal mine can be routed into the cities, the mine will not be started, and any benefits for the people living in the mine area are not considered.
The Outback is being stripped of its assets to support the Megalopolis running along the East Coast which cannot or will not support itself via its own means.

That’s the problem, Gabor. After the last couple of years, the lies, the disinformation, the thuggish behaviour of the Police, and the sheer incompetence of every level of government, why would you trust anything they say? Even if they were to produce a vaccine that had been around for decades like ADT – Adult Diphtheria and Tetanus – would you trust our government with their track record, not to have dodgied it up for reasons unknown?
Now there’s the downside – this refusal to trust our governments is going to cost lives. Diphtheria and Whooping Cough are killers of babies and people are already refusing their vaccinations and just not visiting new borns and their parents.
The second and third order ramifications of the man made and government mandated COVID disaster are yet to come to roost.

Fair enough.
But let me expand the context a little;
A new virus comes onto the scene. It can be treated with a new UBeaut vaccine. It’s expensive @ $70 -$85 per dose.
The new Vaccine has some problems – it kills some of the patients it is given to because it hasn’t been FULLY tested as is reported in the media. It is allowed on to the market “Emergency Authorisation Use Only”. It is used widely in western nations and some of those nations force their people under pain of loss of employment, massive fines, confiscation of assets and bank accounts, to have this drug injected.
A new virus comes on to the scene. The same virus is quite vulnerable to a drug that has been in use for decades and won a Nobel Prize for effectiveness at controlling River Blindness. It is cheap in Australia $5.80 PBS or $22.99 Private script. Ivermectin is immediately banned for human use by the authorities unless very stringent criteria are supplied. The media conducts a campaign of vilification against anyone who wants to use the drug, Doctors and Nurse Practitioners are sacked by APRA for prescribing and supplying it for off label use.
OK. That’s my rant about trust.
But there’s a further – and one could say more sinister – level happening here.
The Third World is hardly affected by the COVIDmania.
Why? Because most of the Third World has access to and are familiar with the intestinal parasitic worms and their treatment. Ivermectin.
So let’s don our foil hats and look a little further.
The White nations are being hammered with an injection that has gone from 1 + a Booster to 5 injections. There are alarming stories of falling birth rates and greater than normal death rates – all of which are denied as disinformation by the media.
The Black nations have barely noticed the ‘disease’ and continue to grow their populations while exporting their military aged males across our borders where they create mayhem and abuse the resident white populations who are taxed at wartime levels to supply the necessities of life to the invaders, at the expense of their own families.
The question stands. Why should we not recognise what is happening – the threatened extinction of our own culture and replacement by an older Feudal model, aided and abetted by our representatives in our Parliaments who represent only themselves? After all, an IQ of 110 is not a requirement of a peasant class – 80/90 will do fine.

I hope I can get to cover in time. 🙂

You have a point about trust, but I’m not yet cynical enough to imagine they would interfere with proven, proper vaccines.

They are in the process of switching to mRNA for every vaccine. That’s because it is extremely convenient: basically you change the computer file and out comes the different vaccine.

Fluvax is changing to mRNA from the old version cultured in chicken eggs, which are relatively expensive.

The problem is if you want a non-mRNA one you will specifically have to ask the GP or pharmacy for it. Which opens up all sorts of cans of worms – trust, suspicion, anger and, given the way the medical agencies have been behaving, fear.

Rosie – Pfizer might have charged through the nose for Covid vaccine but the method is inexpensive since one set of capital equipment can do many types of vaccine, and the materials are very cheap – RNA, artificial cell membrane chemicals (basically soap) and the adjuvants.

All big pharma companies try to get as higher price as they can get, and Pfizer had governments over a barrel. So of course they negotiated sky high prices, since the government was the one paying.

The problem of course is the mRNA method itself: it is inherently likely to cause inflammation of the blood vessel linings and heart muscle if you are susceptible or unlucky. That goes for all injected vaccines because they all produce virus coat molecules, which then cause an immune reaction to those cells which are displaying them.

To me, it was something most cruel to inflict on a naturally social creature.

I was checking the fluvax wiki just now. Oddly (hoho) it completely failed to mention mRNA fluvax, despite the Pfizer press release I linked. But it did mention a nice thing:

Australia authorised its first and cell-based vaccine in March 2021, based on an “eternal cell line” of a dog kidney. Because of the way it is produced, it produces better-matched vaccine (to the flu strains).[126]

That is elegant. An eternalized dog kidney cell line has fewer ethical issues (although there obviously are some) and would produce a free-floating killed-virus vaccine. Being a free-floating dead virus the T-cells would latch onto the virus itself, not on your own cells. So likely no inflammation, or much less anyway.

Unfortunately I suspect the siren song of mRNA will kill off the dog-cell approach.

Apologies to the Irish this week.

Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink. Quinn thinks he’s very lucky because his own wife makes him walk.

The late Bishop Sheen stated that the reason the Irish fight so often among themselves is that they’re always assured of having a worthy opponent.

An American lawyer asked, “Paddy, why is it that whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he answers with another question?” “Who told you that?” asked Paddy.

Q – Why are Irish jokes so simple? A – So the English can understand them.

Reilly went to trial for armed robbery. The jury foreman came out and announced, “Not guilty.” “That’s grand!” shouted Reilly. “Does that mean I can keep the money?”

Mrs. Feeney shouted from the kitchen, “Is that you I hear spittin’ in the vase on the mantel piece?” “No,” said himself, “but I’m getting closer all the time.”

Finnegan: “My wife has a terrible habit of staying up ’til two o’clock in the morning. I can’t break her of it.” Keenan: “What on earth is she doin’ up at that time?”
Finnegan: “Waitin’ for me to come home.”

“O’Ryan,” asked the druggist, “did that mudpack I gave you improve your wife’s appearance?”
“It did surely,” replied O’Ryan, “but it keeps fallin’ off!”

Paddy phones an ambulance because his mate’s been hit by a car. Paddy: ‘Get an ambulance here quick, he’s bleeding from his nose and ears and I tink both his legs are broken.’

Operator: ‘What is your location sir?’

Paddy: ‘Outside number 28 Eucalyptus Street …..’

Operator: ‘How do you spell that sir?’

Silence…. (Heavy breathing) and after a minute.

Operator: ‘Are you there sir?’

More heavy breathing and another minute later.

Operator: ‘Sir, can you hear me?’

This goes on for another few minutes until….

Operator: ‘Sir, please answer me. Can you still hear me?’

Paddy: ‘Yes, sorry bout dat… I couldn’t spell eucalyptus, so I just dragged him round to number 3 Oak Street …’

Painter by the name of Paddy Murphy, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. Over a short number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over Ireland were coming to him in the town of Doolin, County Clare, to get him to paint their likenesses.

One day, a beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo and asked Paddy if he would paint her in the nude. This being the first time anyone had made such a request, Paddy was a bit perturbed, particularly when the woman told him that money was no object; in fact, she was willing to pay up to $10,000.

Not wanting to get into any marital strife, Paddy asked her to wait while he went into the house to confer with Mary, his wife.

In a few minutes he returned. “T’would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus,” he said “The wife says it’s okay.”

“I’ll paint ya in da n*de all right. But I has to at least leave me socks on so I has a place to wipe me brushes.”

“Your glass is empty O’Flaherty, will you be having another?” “And why would I be wanting two empty glasses?” replied O’Flaherty.

Australia is in deep trouble with this Bunch of Incompetent Canberra Bureaucrats with Zero Knowledge of Costs of Renewables

The Department of Climate Change admit they can’t cost renewable targets – Senate Estimates 28.11.22 – 11 mins 06 Secs

Senator Gerard Rennick as always looking after Australians

11,011 views 8 Dec 2022

Boy oh boy is our energy grid going be in trouble with this lot in charge.

If only bureaucratic spin could be converted into electricity we would become the energy powerhouse of the world.

Key points from this line of questioning are:

1) Energy department doesn’t have costings on storage.

2) Nine times more renewable energy that what exists today is needed to meet 2030 targets.

3) The minister can’t understand why I would want costings.

4) It’s impossible to say what costings will be because of counterfactuals. When asked what a counterfactual is the bureaucrat couldn’t answer.

5) 447 gigawatts of storage is required but there is scant detail on what sort of storage that will be. A household battery can store around 10 – 15 kilowatts so that works out at about 44 million batteries – this will reduce as more gas and hydro is used. But even if only 25% of that figure was stored in batteries that’s still a lot of batteries.

From the Comments

– AMAZING how such simple questions of costs seems the most least talked topic and the most important to the tax payer. Well done senator ? on target

– It blows my mind how patient Senator Rennick is dealing with these fools, everytime they have opaque or no answers but he keep cool calm and collected, I could not.

– With folks like these in charge of the future of the grid it seems that expensive, catastrophic failure is inevitable.

– Must be nice to have a highly paid job to just sit and theorise about a goal, plan and target literally at other people’s expense. Amazing that they come unprepared with the costings. So thank you Senator Rennick for pushing them to face realities.

– Thank you Senator, I’m always amazed how many of these highly paid “witnesses” cannot answer the questions posed, and often try and deflect/twist the real question into an answer they want to give.

Australia seems to suffer from a “cover your a@s” attitude when questions are asked with the likely reply “I’ll take that on notice” when they really want to avoid any and all responsibility on the subject.

The money we squander on these highly paid individuals who cannot answer most questions is beyond acceptable to all Australians. Again, thank you for the frustrating efforts you make on behalf of REAL Australians and not the clowns you regularly have to interact with.

– Senator Rennick, GREETINGS from far West Texas.

You, sir, are a rarity in today’s political class, anywhere, in any country.

Your common sense questions run circles around those people proposing all the ridiculous “green” policies being pushed in so many countries. Your common sense questions prove they haven’t a clue about what they’re talking about and deep down inside they, themselves, know it will not work.

And whilst you’re calmly asking your questions, they get quite uncomfortable as you expose their subterfuge.

GOOD ON YOU, Senator Rennick!!

CHEERS!

Mr Trickler overnight:

I’d punch your lights out before you raise a fist.

Right out of left field. All I said was how nice the Perth radio people were.

How confrontational. As if I would raise a fist under any circumstances. Oooooh, I would never.

Mind you, the optics of the tough WA guy flailing his T-Rex arms at trees and parked cars is somewhat hilarious.

No one is allowed to question such identification in this day and age…

‘Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.’

What a stupid comment. I had the Polio jab when I was age 6 years. I didn’t get Polio.

Bear Patrol!

It’s astonishing how most people lose half their IQ points and all of their principles when the word “vaccines” are mentioned. If the covid “vaccines” were called an antibiotic or analgesic or magic potion nobody would have touched them.

Vaccination is predicated on the idea that immunity is real. But immunity is not real. We thought it was because we believed that the process of infection was someone having 1) zero virus in them; then 2) some virus in them; then 3) lots of virus in them (due to replication); then 4) no virus in them (due to “immune system” fighting said virus off); then 5) our “immune system” learning how to fight off said virus more easily in the future.

However, whilst this was always pure speculation (and never made any sense intrinsically anyway due to lack of negative feedbacks) it became completely untenable the moment we discovered that viruses could be harboured by us (“infected” if you like) on a long term (eg “chronic” basis).

Long term infection renders the entire concept of immunity (and therefore vaccination) to be abject nonsense. It’s not just wrong, immunity is a category error.

We can’t learn how to fight off infections in the future because we continue to harbour the virus regardless of whether we are sick!

To simplify (because people will be as obtuse as possible here):

1) Immunity is when harbouring the virus reduces susceptibility to the virus in the future.

2) Chronic infection is when harbouring the virus increases susceptibility to said virus in the future.

So how can anybody acquire immunity to a virus that infects them on a chronic basis?

They can’t. Like I said, it’s a category error.

Vaccination cannot possibly work. The valid statistics (which are incidental and only a very small subset of all medical statistics) back this up. Incidental data for, say, the rubella vaccine, is rates of congenital defects. If the rubella vaccine actually worked, rates would have plummeted. If the disease has simply been renamed (ie differentially diagnosed because doctors are biased against dx in the vaccinated) then rates would not have fallen much.

Rates have not fallen.

Same for paralysis (incidental data for polio vaccine).

Same for liver cancer (Hep B vax).

Same for sterility (mumps).

Same for encephalitis (measles).

There are not enough pixels to describe the current Warner fiasco, and I haven’t got the time to go into it in full detail in any event. Suffice to say that:

1. Naturally, ball tampering was someone else’s fault;
2. ‘All the other team knew about it as well’ (which may be true, but it’s still throwing all his mates under the bus);
3. He can see other, better openers coming up through the ranks and he knows his own time is short;
4. This is clearly – and especially taking his manager’s unsolicited commentary into account – an attempt to pump up sales of his upcoming book, and which;
5. Aside from sports writers, nobody will give a fuck about.

Just for further elaboration of my definitive proof that no vaccine can possibly work.

Vaccines are based on the idea that “asymptomatic infection” renders immunity.

But we already know that “asymptomatic infection” does not render immunity (otherwise people who harboured the Hep B or the varicella or the polio or the herpes or the covid or the measles or HI viruses would have nothing to fear from those viruses in the future (when in fact, mainstream medicine claims that they should be more fearful)).

Therefore no vaccine can possibly work.

QED

You’re welcome.

Alt: You can of course make the argument that the entire idea of chronic or asymptomatic infection is a lie and has never ever happened in history.

Fine by me.

Alt Alt: you can make the argument that viruses have zero to do with being sick.

Definitely fine by me.

Just a question on nomenclature – I understood the correct term for DNA & RNA were the first letter was lower case, i.e. deoxy Ribonucleic Acid & ribo Nucleic Acid. Therefore MRNA would be correctly memory ribo Nucleic Acid.

Struphid. One of the things learnt in Economics in the unit dealing with international commerce and finance is that in order to import we need to export.

Instead of signaling out people who like me are dealing in contraband goods, which according to you is buying anything from China, why don’t you say the right thing and demand we ban all exports to China. In view of our massive positive terms of trade with China, banning exports should also stop all imports from there.
Go on, demonstrate some intellectual clarity and go for it. Adopt the :
“Ban Exports to China”, slogan.

Yes, you would.
I would understand LucasGroup for winding up operations, sacking all the wukkas, and going overseas.
This is going beyond a balanced workplace of employers and wukkas into outright warfare by the administrative state against them. No one wins this shit. No one.
