KD. You are awarded one week’s worth of angel stamps.
The “concrete horse” was pure genius.
Especially for someone who eons ago had a Greek concrete driveway turn to sand. My fault. I should have known. Paying cash to an Hellenic. Idiot.
All would have been well if they had just stuck to making banana splits in the Olympic cafes.
The best concrete is Italian and before that Roman.
Apparently this clown show has been running for 11 years.
alleged potential witnesses in Pakistan and Afghanistan
We can end this charade right now.
Why do we even feed these parasites?
After 11 years, alleged potential witnesses in Pakistan and Afghanistan and 128 investigators all that is going to happen is they will force otherwise innocent people into committing BS “process crimes”.
But what we do know is that harm has been known from the very beginning but any attempt to draw attention to it has been slapped down or ignored for two years now with all other treatments, some proven efficacious decades ago, being literally demonised. Oh, and don’t let’s forget the synchronised response to the “pandemic” (40 known active cases when the worldwide pandemic was declared) which involved discarding pandemic plans developed over many years and pivoting straight to authoritarian means.
I’m sorry, but I find it hard not to see deliberate and malicious intent. And, for emphasis, here’s a blast from the past.

UPDATE – So, You Did Not Take the COVID-19 Shot, Why Not?
January 14, 2023 – Sundance
I am bumping this post to the top of the page and updating because, well, I’ll explain.
First, thank you. Sincere and genuine thankfulness for your fellowship. Visitors to this site continue to prove that our nation is created by, and an assembly of, the most decent, honest, generous and kind-hearted people in the world. The responses to the question of ‘why didn’t you take the covid-19 shot?’ are nothing short of remarkable.
In the bigger picture if you want to fill up your faith cup and recognize the scale of commonsense assembly in our nation, take the time to read through the 2,000+ responses.
The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom. Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly. There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.
In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.
There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so. And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum. Our nation needs a big conversation about this.
It is good to have Ms Pfizer grace the blog with her presence.
Cmon rosetta, use your real name!

The COVID-19 Debate and Conversation We Were Denied
January 14, 2023 – Sundance
This article is intended toward a specific set of interests.
?First, the larger media apparatus needs to comprehend the scale of the current situation.
?Second, the medical establishment need to come to grips with the situation they pretend doesn’t exist.
?Lastly, to the alternative media forums writ large, with my challenge to you to open up every format you control, ask simple questions and then just shut up and listen to readers and viewers.
Yes Indolent. But every day is Groundhog Day. And to get more clicks and eyeballs the claims become more shrill and unrealistic. This does nothing but turn reasonable people off.
Harm has been done. Great harm. My family has been on the receiving end.
But unless a claim is sufficiently vehement and extreme, it is consigned to the “not one of us, we very few” bin. I know why you post the links, and I read many of them. Most are going over the same ground, some are making wild claims, some from people I wouldn’t trust as far as I could kick them. Some are interesting and thought provoking. It’s a veritable grab bag of opinion.
I’m simply not buying the “don’t trust the government, trust us instead” lure.
It was crude but results would suggest it was also effective. Suffice to say, ridiculing and humiliating Nazis is something that should be encouraged.
There is also another test at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to cries of racism or myriad other offences, and that is whether the scandalised individual is a hypocrite.
Here we have another perfect case study in the Premier and the Prince
Both men in their youth wore a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party but, unlike Harry, Perrottet did not go on to spend the rest of his career accusing others of racism or — heaven forbid — “unconscious bias”.
On the contrary he has been a quintessentially libertarian leader, defending freedom of expression often at great cost to his political standing.
This is important because it is a cornerstone of civil law that if you preach one thing and practice another it makes you a legitimate target for criticism and even defamation but if your principles are consistent it does not.
And so notwithstanding Perrottet’s obvious and rightful regret over his actions two decades ago, it is not as though he has made hay condemning others for their supposed lack of cultural awareness and understanding — which also puts him in stark contrast with, for example, Trudeau.
(At this point I’m tempted to say “Hey, what is it with all these French guys?!?” but I wouldn’t want to be racist.)
To be clear, if you’re thinking about dressing up as a Nazi: Don’t. It’s a really dumb idea. And it you don’t believe me, visit a Holocaust museum and then see if you still want to wear a swastika.
In fact I don’t even know where you would get a costume from — it’s an idea so dumb it has cancelled itself.
But the bigger point is we’ve all said and done dumb stuff, which only leaves two questions.
The first is whether someone did it because they are a horrible person, as opposed to having had a lapse of judgment. And the second is whether we are too quick to condemn others for doing the same things that we have all done ourselves but just haven’t been caught out for yet.
I suspect that very few people fall into the first category while most of us fall into the latter.
And so, as a wandering prophet once said 2000 years ago, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Because otherwise, make no mistake, our sins will come for us all.
Part of an article written by this bloke
Kangaroo Court grifter:
“George Pell is going to hell!”
What a lunatic.
By the same reasoning Kim Beazley is responsible for the rapes in Victoria that Bob Hawke covered up.
Please tell me it was dubbed Operation Heinz.
Gavin Newsom is president and the whole of US turns into shitty California.
As I understand it, the Speaker of the House of Reps takes over where both Dribbling Joe and Cackling Harris are removed and not a ‘Third World’ Commie Guv’ner like Newsom. Then there is an election in 2024.
God Complex.
Seems to be catching. Always amusing when it comes from people who demonstrably don’t believe in either place.
This is an excellent starting position.
Not so sure. I think it would be fitting and hilarious seeing a Nazi dancing with a vampire.
Indeed it is. I just don’t want the trust vacuum filled with an equal opportunity grifter. But then in some ways I’m protected.
Reagan got it wrong. It should be “verify, then trust”. But then there would be no requirement for trust anyway.

Interesting that the desire for justice is one facet of being created in the image of God that human beings find impossible to suppress.
Of course, it’s alwasy justice for others that is sought, rather than for one’s self.
JR, the Speaker of the House does not become the president as long as there is a Vice President who need not have been elected. For example, Gerald Ford was appointed when Spiro Agnew resigned, then he became president when Nixon resigned.
If you weren’t there, you don’t get an opinion, and that includes the general public and everyone trying to take down the SAS now, years later.
If the last 3 years has taught us anything, its just how rotten all governments are, including cuddly western ‘democracies’, under the skin. If you don’t understand by now that their prime purpose is self preservation, NOT service to the public, you never will (and the various police forces serve the government, not the people). Given that, and the rise in the surveillance state, you would be a fool not to assume the govt can listen to you anywhere. I always ‘put my phone on charge’ in another room when having any conversation where privacy is an issue.
The taliban addressed the ‘ubiquitous surveillance’ problem with their ‘the cure for high tech is low tech’ strategy – they communicated face to face and in paper writing, not on phones, email etc.
Our Extreme Long-Term Model Forecasting Tools
From Armstrong Economics –
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Your reputation precedes you. They call you the legend because you have been the only analyst who forecasts events years in advance. Throughout the rise and fall the stock market, you called for only 2 year correction from 2000 and 2008 and the market would remain in a bullish trend. I read that Barrons piece on you where it seemed they laughed at your forecast I think in 2010 when you said the market would rally and make new highs. You did the same in 1987. My question is, do you have a particular indicator that allows you to see the long-term like that in the stock market?
PE
ANSWER: This is why I stress that to be a successful trader, you have to conquer your emotions. I was always institutional. Our reports were too expensive for the retail world for they use to go out over telex, which would cost $75 alone per transmission back then. That is why we opened offices around the world to reduce delivery costs. We would send one transmission to that office and they would redistribute it to the clients in that region. We are gathering all our old forecasts that were in storage and will try to assemble them on annual basis for reference.
When FAX became common, we moved to that delivery system and that brought the costs down dramatically. Today, it is email and that is all free. So that is why we became the largest institutional adviser. However, because our clients were institutional, we had to specialize in reliable long-term forecasting. Day traders were not our focus.
We developed our Extreme Long-term trend indicator. This has successfully calculated that these corrections where everyone calls will be the next Depression were only short-term corrections. The calculations are extensive, but this indicator has been used by our Institutional Clients to provide underlying confidence in what is REALLY unfolding in the markets on a broader basis.
These are the charts I was showing at our institutional sessions around the world going into 1985. This indicator was starting to take off on the Quarterly level in 1982. It was fully outright bullish in 1984 on the Yearly Level one year before the ECM turned in 1985. This is why I ended up advising a few of the takeover players back then who they ended up making the movie Wall Street about with Michael Douglas and his famous speech on greed. What the movie did not explain was that the book value declined so much that we could buy companies, sell their assets, and double or even triple our money. I was warned that we were entering a takeover boom.
We took out the back cover of the Economist in July 1985 for three weeks to forecast that the deflation was ending and a new Private Wave on our Economic Confidence Model was beginning that would eventually peak in 2032.
The ECM even picked the high in the interest rates at the Fed in 1981. Our long-term forecasts have been amazing. They even impressed me. As I said at the last WEC, nobody has tried to defeat these models more than me. True, I do not like their projections into 2032. But that is my personal opinion which is not something clients rely on. We all know that the forecasts can only come from Socrates. These indicators have been reliable and you cannot forecast the future from a personal gut feeling.
You have people who will try to claim it’s all nonsense mainly because they want to think, like Marx, that the government is in control. They respond to events. At the precise bottom of the ECM in 1985, they formed the G5 at the Plaza Accord responding to the high in the dollar which produced the high in deflation. The government does not want to learn how to manage the economy. They want to fool the voting masses just to retain power.”

The MSM are now trying to hunt down people who attended Perrottet’s 21st Birthday Party, all because some of those names might now be Liberal MPs or prominent Liberal Party members. Apparently, these “attendees” are denying they attended or are in hiding.
This proves my theory that this is nothing more than a smear campaign, it’s more gaslighting and dog whistling by the MSM and the left to scream, screech, rant and smear their ideological opponents on the right as “Nazis”, because, as we’ve been told by Dan Andrews, there are Nazis everywhere on the right.
Oh and isn’t it strange, I’ve never seen anyone in the media express any interest in talking to attendees who attended a Young Labor Camp back in the late 1980s. I’m sure there must be a list somewhere. Or any of Sleazy’s one time Trotskyite circle, who went around menacing Labor right people in the 1980s…..oh no!
“the Speaker of the House does not become the president as long as there is a Vice President who need not have been elected. For example, Gerald Ford was appointed when Spiro Agnew resigned, then he became president when Nixon resigned.”

C’mon Groogs, you know you want to. Spooks right?
Cassie, I heard somewhere that the Perrottet/Nazi witch hunt has been initiated by David Elliott, the retiring MP for The Hills. The idea is that this is Elliott’s revenge for Dominic not supporting him against the Keen faction.

And it was those Nazis who beat up Peter Baldwin (in 1980 I thing it was) nearly killing him and not those Commie/Marxist thugs don’t yer’ know. Yea, right………..sarc.
“Cassie, I heard somewhere that the Perrottet/Nazi witch hunt has been initiated by David Elliott, the retiring MP for The Hills. The idea is that this is Elliott’s revenge for Dominic not supporting him against the Keen faction.”
I’ve heard similar. Whilst not happy with Perrottet’s lacklustre performance as premier (and yes, I think he is a tool of Green Kean), Elliott’s an effing thug and all round mediocrity, who worked hand in hand with Gladslag and Health Hazzard to lock this state up. The thing is, NSW Labor is right, and whilst they’re not joining in the witch hunt against Perrottet, what they’re saying rings true, that the NSW Liberals aren’t only internally divided, they’re a complete and utter mess.
Why did ParrotHead wear a Waffen SS Uniform to his 21st?

Which is pretty cheeky.
Of course, he’s up for Election again in 2024, so he’s either got to rediscover his Flamin’ side and get a handle for those survivors, …
or Transition and identify as a Black lezzo.

Typical last days of a political dynasty (of either stripe), made more chaotic by the fact that the Stupid Effing Liberals believe in nothing except the perks of power.
All that stuff about forgotten people, small government and low taxes is from a far-away galaxy where Sir Robert Menzies once lived.
It is a veritable grab bag and if the media did their job much of it wouldn’t be necessary. Talk about groundhog day, you can always trust them to regurgitate the daily talking points, often in exactly the same words. If you want the truth these days you have to go looking for it. Yes, undoubtedly there is some hyperbole but some things speak for themselves.
Such As
“…in early December Noel McCoy was dumped as the party candidate in Castle Hill over criticisms he’d made of the Berejiklian government’s “damaging” Covid-19 lockdown measures and vaccination mandates. McCoy – Perrottet’s close friend, whom he thanked in his first speech in parliament – was furious about the decision.
“Apparently good-faith public policy discussions in defence of core Liberal values are no longer allowed in the Liberal party,” McCoy told the ABC at the time.”
The Grauniad, yesterday.
Seems Dom’s thrown quite a few conservatives under the bus in order to keep the top job.
US ABC:
Climate Change = more heart attacks.
“All that stuff about forgotten people, small government and low taxes is from a far-away galaxy where Sir Robert Menzies once lived.”
Yep.
What a ridiculous clown.
Interestingly those who scream loudest in the media at the Nazi dress up are the same who cheered for the building of detention camps and the complete alienation of the unvaxxed from society.
Motes and all that.
Ha!
Don’t know about the Celestials, but the Nipponese saw a rabbit in the moon, not a man.
Which goes some way to explain why their rabbits aren’t the rabbits of Beatrix Potter.
Know not a Nazi by the colour of their uniform but rather the flavour of ice cream they buy at the Halls Gap kiosk.
Roared laughing, JC.
So Big Pharma, at the urgings of the Orange Oaf, rushes experimental vaccines to market without proper testing and the left turns it into an advertisement for its latest religion.
There’s a special strain of cunning bastardry that describes the left’s political strategy.
Their lack of self-awareness is disturbing.
Pope Pius XII signed a Concordat with Hitler, so, possibly the Nazis aren’t really the bad guys in the Elite Catholic Education system.
I mean, is Pius XII going to Hell?
Of course not.
And the moon is made of mochi (rice cake – which is not like a cake in terms of consistency, preparation, or likelihood of killing you by getting caught in your throat and suffocating you).
Story was that the rabbits ate the mochi, which explains its change of shape.
The drill sergeant making his morning announcements to a group of newcomers in a training camp, stated: “Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good. Private Anderson will be setting the pace on our morning run”. With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Anderson was overweight and terribly slow. But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: “Now for the bad news. Private Anderson will be driving a truck”.

Doing the same in my neck of the woods.
Much needed rain on the way too.
I don’t agree with Rosie much about vaccines but there is one thing we agree on.
It relates to heart attack cases such as Shane Warne and Kimberly Kitching. I cringe when I see people trying to use their deaths as examples of Vax deaths.
Both clearly had multiple issues at time of death that could contribute to heart attack. People too easily related it to the Vax. If you thought Norman Swan was wrong to say Kitching died of Covid issues then it is just as wrong to say the Vax.
However having said that I strongly believe the Vax is causing heart issues and many others. I know two Pfizer bad heart reaction people and tell as many people as I can about Dr’s Peter McCullough and Asseem Malhotra.
The evidence from multiple medical sources around the world about the adverse effects is undeniable.
But as I said before we must just be incredibly lucky that the TGA has not identified one Pfizer death in Australia. NZ has had 4 confirmed with probably a third as many Pfizer jabs given. I guess we must have got the good batches.

Hang on a flash.
Kitching went from healthy to death warmed up real quick.
Then, she Died Suddenly.
No one has stated that she definitely wasn’t vaxxed, so it’s logical to assume that she was.
Shane Warne didn’t have health issues either, he Died Suddenly.
If he was unvaxxed, do you think we wouldn’t have been told by now?

I have only got 1/3 of way through but Tim Pool just done an interview with Matt Gaetz.
Matt gives good detail on how the lobbyist, commitee appointments and fund raising works. He says literally first day new Congressmen are introduced to the relevant lobbyists in their areas of interest. Can’t remember the specific thing he wanted but he was told in one instance a $75,000 contribution to funds would secure it.
He explains why he and the others voted no 14 X.

Public service parasites, who’ve never earned a living not paid for with taxes, are now in charge of “investigating” brave military men. The parasites will consider it a failure if they can’t get a brave man charged with something to try to drag him down to the level of the parasites investigating them.
Like Pell and Chamberlain, this looming miscarriage of justice will probably end up in the High Court. It is becoming an Australian specialty.

Are still showing those anti (white) boy and anti (white) man hate clips at cinemas? The canbra pubes really hate us. Reminds me of when a canbra pube told me in all seriousness that ‘grazing ruined this country’. As much as they hate us, they still want our money.
Is this a riposte to the old “good sheep station ruined” description of Canberra?
Dunno BJ- to me that comment demonstrated complete contempt for sheep and cattle farmers, for dairy farmers and people who actually do stuff and make stuff.
I know a bloke wot knows a bloke, who says that Samantha Couverts was paid several million dollars for her report..
In the canbra mind, writing a ‘learned’ thesis is much more important than ensuring people have enough to eat.
Almost by definition, anyone who becomes the leader of a mainstream political party is someone you don’t want there.
Are still showing those anti (white) boy and anti (white) man hate clips at cinemas?
Yep. I went to the movies last week at the Elsternwick Classic in Melbourne, got in at the advertised starting time and was treated to 20 minutes of ads & propaganda including a Welcome to County. I’ll try to avoid that particular theatre in future.
The film? “Banshees of Inisherin” – absolutely terrific but not for the squeamish.
Ed Case’s comments shows if you cant disprove it was the Vax then it must be the Vax.
No.
What I am saying is that if Kimberly Kitching or Shane Warne were UnVaxxed, their respective families wouldn’t have been so angry at Norman Swan saying they died of COVID-19.
Has Swan returned to his Radio Program?
No, he was forced to make an apology to the families, possibly a First for the ABC.
‘Authorized by the Australian Government Canbra’- steal our money to tell us how awful we are.
Actually he was not Pope at the time – it was 1933.
The Papal concordats were not negotiated between the Vatican and the secular states with which it was on friendly terms – they would not have needed guarantees from friends. The need for concordats were prompted by the increasingly strained relationship between the Church and the Nastis.
It would provide legal foundation for protecting Catholics right to worship, as well as protection of Catholic institutions (schools, churches etc.) and a framework by which complaints could be lodged and pursued.
At the same time the Pope, Pius XI, was seeking a similar agreement with the USSR. Once again, not because the Church and the Russians were natural allies, but because they were not.
They didn’t see it at the time, but building the soulless, parasitic city of Canberra on good sheep and wheat country was symbolic of what was to come.
Who knows? Most of the ALPBC hive are still on their WEB. The regular Executive Producers are yet to seize control for 2023.
Actually he was not Pope at the time – it was 1933.
Wow!
He got in on the ground floor then, didn’t he?

As a miner for 40 years I have worked in various mines around the world. Gold, platinum, copper, coal, lead, zinc, oil and salt. I’m going to tell you something, and here it is. We will destroy the earth in the name of “Green Energy” Follow along and I will explain. ?
MiningWatch Canada is estimating that “[Three] billion tons of mined metals and minerals will be needed to power the energy transition” – a “massive” increase especially for six critical minerals: lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt, nickel and rare earth minerals
Over the next 30 years 7.5 billion of us, we will consume more minerals than the last 70,000 years or the past 500 generations, which is more than all of the 108 billion humans who have ever walked the Earth.
Mining requires the extraction of solid ores, often after removing vast amounts of overlying rock. Then the ore must be processed, creating an enormous quantity of waste – about 100 billion tonnes a year, more than any other human-made waste stream.
18,740 pounds of purified rock to produce 2.2 pounds of vanadium
35,275 pounds of ore for 2.2 pounds of cerium
110,230 pounds of rock for 2.2 pounds of gallium
2,645,550 pounds of ore to get 2.2 pounds of lutecium
Also staggering amounts of ore are needed for other metals.

I saw upthread a remark from a climate alarmist which started out something like ‘I will never forget when I first saw an athlete die of heatstroke.’

The original contention was that Pius XII did something dastardly when he signed the Concordat with the Nastis in 1933. I asked you to spell out precisely what it was in the agreement that ought to consign Pius XII to hell – your original contention.
The best response you are able to muster is avoid backing up your claim by demanding I do it for you?
Let’s keep focus.
What was it Pius agreed to in the Concordat of 1933 that you see as deserving to send him to hell?
So, nothing in the Concordat. So it can’t be reason for Pius XII to go to hell.
This is why I don’t read Ed. I did so by accident here this morning and have wasted time.
It was Gillard who established the Super Clinics, an idea I originally mocked, until I visited one several years ago. Everything is there – GPs, physio, podiatry, psychology and a range of specialists – all under the same (solar panel covered) roof.
The GPs are excellent and all advertise an area of special interest, ie, women’s/men’s health, aged care, sport injuries, chronic pain management etc. A five bed clinic, staffed by four nurses, provides wound dressing, vaccinations, infant health checks, INR monitoring, infusions etc.
While there are a few doctors and registrars from Indian or Pakistani backgrounds, the vast majority of staff are white. Most importantly, all deliver impeccable patient care.
My only criticism of this Super Clinic is the Gillardesque extravagance courtesy of OPM. The reception/waiting area is enormous with lounge chairs arranged in sweeping bays, wasting a huge amount of space. The ceilings are mystifying, with bright yellow slats hanging at various angles, matching the yellow light pendants. A large atrium in the centre of the complex features an assortment of trees and more yellow arty statements. All fripperies which add no benefit to patient care.

Hold on there, us ‘crazy antivaxxers’ didn’t write the rules for this game – we just spent most of the last 3 years labelling everyone with a +PCR at the time of death as a “COVID death”. Even now they *still* call them ‘with covid’, which subliminally links said deaths TO covid.
Just enough for a soccer game turned up;

No one here wrote the “rules” Docduk. We’re watching the whole cloth rolled out in real time. Not sure what the pattern is yet, but what I see so far is ugly.
It was wrong to label +PCR as Covid death, and it’s just as wrong to label a vaxxed person’s death as a vaxx death when it isn’t. This is simply sorting truth from lies.
Can we stop calling Greta Pruneface “a teenage activist”.
She turned 20 on January 3rd.

Pigs arse we do.
Our profession is complicit in one of the medical horrors of the 21st century – we just refuse to acknowledge it yet.
Flying Duk,
Totally on your team but we can’t distort deaths like the Government has. They have a credibility problem and let’s not do the same from our side of the debate .
There were plenty here calling out the “died with Covid” vs “died from Covid” at the time.
So any use of the lazy formula “aged under 60 + died suddenly = vax death” can expect to draw some fire as well.
I see Indolent has fallen back on the defence of “Gee, there might be a bit of hyper-bowl, but it raises interesting questions”.
The only questions it raises revolve around your ability to read beyond a click-bait headline from trusted sources on the innernet.
Oh, and who was it who gave St Ruth’s claim that the unvaxxed were going to concentration camps in cattle cars a pass, as “just a bit of exuberant hyper-bowl to get people to sit up and take notice”?

It would be good to live in an Australia in which race was inconsequential. But the Voice entirely removes that prospect. Racial politics is at its heart. In turn, this means that questions which otherwise need not be asked must be asked and answered. One of those questions, a fundamental one, is who will the Voice represent?
Again, to be clear, the Voice will not be comprised of delegates. It will be comprised of “representatives.” But representatives who don’t have to present themselves and their records to eligible voters at regular intervals; even if it were practicable, which it isn’t, to delineate the body of such voters. Quite simply, this is not an acceptable model in a liberal democratic country. Democracy was described by Winston Churchill as the least worst form of government, precisely because parliamentary representatives, and therefore governments and leaders, could be voted out.
The Voice, a racist concept within the Constitution, is a bad idea per se. Run by unelected people, it has every chance of becoming a fiefdom. That would not be a benign, never mind beneficial, addition to Australia’s national life.

The public health system is a cost v time trade off. Once you stop using price as a resource allocation method to balance supply and demand for medical services (which can’t really work anyway) you need some other way to deal with demand exceeding supply. In non urgent cases this is the wait list. On the cost front, new drugs and procedures ensure new treatments are never far away. Health will always be chasing its tail. On balance, the Australian system gets the job done although you suspect there would be plenty of sources for efficiencies.

Husband has had necessity to attend two different ERs in Sydney in the last 6 months – both genuine emergencies with impacted bowel and the other – what we were sure was Cellulitis (which nearly killed him a decade ago). We observed many patients with mundane complaints who should have consulted a GP. I have always wondered why 24 hour General Practices are not set up within public hospitals to attend to such patients.
It is unacceptable to hear about genuine emergencies waiting for hours in ER and even ambulances “ramping” with patients requiring urgent attention. My own grandson was sent home from a prominent Sydney public hospital with a jaw broken in two places because theatre space and a specialist could not be found. It was only through personal contacts that he was finally operated on by a microsurgeon at another hospital.

Not being coy. Just not going to allow you to draw the conversation away from the grounds you pegged out in the hope that on some other topic you might score a point and, as you will likely be hoping, people will forget your original foundering.
You said Pius XII was deserving of hell for signing the Concordat with the Nasti Germans. I am still asking you to justify your original judgement – what was it you had in mind about the Concordat that marked Pius XII for hell?
You keep setting new little tests or challenges for me to avoid answering.
I shall not engage any more until you back up your condemning Pius XII for the Concordat, or admit you were being unfair to him.

Doesn’t Uncle Tony need Greens support to get legislation through the Senate?
Almost everything I’ve read about Cardinal Pell has disregarded his acquittal and left an impression that he sexually abused children and helped cover up the crimes of other priests. It is not at all surprising that most people give vent to anger and hostility if it comes up in conversation.
The only way to counter this is to tell them bluntly that, like many others, Pell was falsely accused. His accusers were lying.
What ? How dare you ?
Malice. Money. That’s what I’m talking about.
Just the Facts, Ma’am: False Accusations Against Catholic Priests Are Now At Epic Proportions
MAY 13, 2019 BY THEMEDIAREPORT.COM
Shakedown of the Catholic Church
Looking for dollars: The fraud against the Catholic Church
The media will never tell you this, and the professional victims’ groups will outright lie. But facts are facts.
Bogus abuse accusations against Catholic priests are rampant. The fraud being perpetrated against the Church is now off the charts. But don’t take our word for it. Here are the numbers:
? In 2011, a declaration submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court asserted that a former FBI investigator examining abuse claims against priests in Los Angeles had determined that “ONE-HALF of the claims were either entirely false or so greatly exaggerated that the truth would not have supported a prosecutable claim for childhood sexual abuse.” (The capital letters are in the original document.)
? In 2016, in a church of 70 million people in the United States, 25 current minors came forward alleging that a current priest had recently abused them. Some of the cases still remained under investigation a year later, but of the 13 allegations in which a determination was made, only two were found to be “substantiated,” while the remaining 11 (or 85%) were found to be completely bogus.
? According to independent annual audit reports, as little as 15% of all accusations against Catholic priests in any given year are even deemed “substantiated” by the very lenient standards of diocesan review boards, with the majority of accusations deemed either “unsubstantiated” (indeed false*), “unable to be proven,” or still under review.
? [Updated October 2021] The Archdiocese of Boston – arguably the most publicly transparent with regards to accused priests – has published the names of 61 priests who have been determined guilty of abuse by either canonical of civil proceedings. Yet it has also concluded that 38 priests have been falsely accused. In other words, nearly 40 percent (38.4%) of priests in Boston are determined innocent after a complete investigation. Let that sink in.
And then there’s the money
money
Yes, it’s all about the money
In an article only a few weeks ago in The New Yorker, the Archdiocese of New York openly admitted that it has “lenient standards of evidence” when it comes to doling out some $61+million to accusers and that it has paid on many “weak claims.” The archdiocese pays out on flimsy cases “in order to lead to a collective sense of resolution,” according to the article, whatever that means

Dirty democracy done dirt cheap.
He was making the point (if you can call it that) that if Pius XII was not in hell then Pell would be spared.
In context the implication is that Pius XII ought to have been consigned to Hades.
And that is what DE has been defending.

Re GPs – had to go and see a Doctor in Zug Switzerland
Consult, X-ray in next room, Blood taken processed in machine next door – results immediately, prescribed medication & issued medication by same Doctor, all in one visit at the one office.
Price, not much more than GP cost at my (Mainly Female & Excellent GPs) Medical Centre here in OZ
Currently standard consult $95 before Medicare Rebate $39.95, and would have to get separate Blood then wait for results, plus go to one of many X-ray clinics around Cremorne for X-Ray, plus go to Pharmacist to get meds dispensed.
Like the one stop Swiss approach.
