Re duk’s point about the behaviour of the police in enforcing Covid rules:
What I, personally, found the most shocking was being stopped by a road block on our way from Sydney to the farm & being – brusquely – demanded to produce our “travel documents”.
All I could think was….my God, this is East Germany on the rise……
It got worse. Husband had obtained requisite document to permit travel into our region, but I did not. Silly me. I thought the doc would suffice for husband and wife. The surly response from Mr. Plod was to warn me that I would have to have one as well, next time. All the while, the demeanour of the posse at the road block was threatening.
Unbelievable – &, although our experience was not one iota of what happened to you, duk, I also will never forget it.
Better to think of it as the dollar losing value than gold going up in price….

I think the wife is more culpable than the judge.
On his sub stack today, Dr. Phillip Altman has reported that Australia’s TGA has changed its stance on Ivermectin!:
In a remarkable about-face, the TGA has finally admitted that general practitioners should be able to prescribe ivermectin without going to jail or loosing their license to practice medicine.
Of all the misinformation and outright lies perpetrated during the pandemic by our health authorities, the banning of ivermectin prescribing for COVID-19 must rate as the greatest mistake. Dozens of clinical trials documented the safety and efficacy of ivermectin alone and in combination with other therapeutics in the prophylaxis and treatment of mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 and the prevention of death. Despite this, Australia’s most senior health officers, much to my astonishment, declared there was no evidence for the clinical efficacy of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID. This incompetence is unforgivable.
The 3 May 2023 announcement, the TGA states:
“A large number of clinical studies have demonstrated ivermectin does not improve outcomes in patients with COVID-19. The National Covid Evidence Taskforce (NCET) and many similar bodies around the world, including the World Health Organization, strongly advises against the use of ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.”
I strongly disagree that the overall evidence “does not improve outcomes in patients with COVID-19”.
Those who have been following me know I have been submitting the evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of ivermectin in many submissions and publications.
Here are a few:

Altman, P.: Comparison of ivermectin and molnupiravir

https://bird-group.org/ivermectin-vs-molnupiravir-a-comparison/
The TGA has never communicated with me on these submissions. Nothing…zero.
It is stunning the TGA and the NCCET could simply ignore submissions such as these in times of crisis.
The TGA and our so-called “health experts” seem disconnected from reality. Why has it taken so long for them to come to their senses?
As I keep saying…….we are not safe in their hands, nobody is safe.
If the Australian TGA cannot tell the difference a toxic horse worming medicine and a potentially life-saving, widely used, essential safe medicine – they should not exist.
At last, doctors will be able to assess for themselves if their patients should be prescribed ivermectin. Will those doctors who have been suspended for prescribing or advocating the usefulness of ivermectin be reinstated with an apology and compensation by APHRA?
I can rest easier tonight knowing general practitioners can use their best judgement to treat their patients on an individual basis without fearing retribution.
I think that is correct. The wife tried to seemingly get her husband killed, the judge advocate gave him a slim chance to live.
There is NO SUCH THING as *public* health, there is only private (aka individual) health …. your health outcomes are largely determined by how healthy you are when you encounter a threat. And how healthy you are is largely determined by all the life choices you made prior to that.
As doctors, we were taught that the physician-patient relationship was sacred (not the physician – state – other members of the public – patient relationship).
Bending the knee to the ‘greater good’ of ‘public health’ is a lie and we should never have accepted it.
PS .. similarly, there is no such thing as ‘public housing’ or ‘public money’ … these also represent theft of an individuals property to benefit the collective.
Yeah, I’m wondering how long it will take before the masses realise inflation is here to stay for quite a while…
Interest rates won’t fix the issue…
It’s inconsistent to the extent that you think that law / policy should be unconcerned with the habituation of such patterns of thought and conduct. Natural law tradition thinks law is a teacher.
It’s a bit confusing; is someone suggesting that the murder of the international student is a harbinger of things to come if the Voice referendum isn’t waved through?
Sour grapes, ladies. You were part of a fake conservative government that went full COVIDmania and had arrogant, smug, fascist pigs like David Elliot and Brad Hazzard in cabinet.
So, 3 years ago, to ‘manage’ COVID, we
1) vastly increased the amount of ‘money’ in the system by printing $$$ to pay people to stay home and hide from the killer virus
2) locked the economy down and stopped producing stuff
Now, bafflingly, we have prices breaking out (aka ‘Inflation’ to the proles who don’t understand the money supply/goods supply equation).
And the govt will get away with the lie that inflation just happens and is not the direct result of government action.
A teacher, not a martinet.
sorry, he’s not dead but is not expected to survive his injuries.
That article is damning of the NT government.
Further to the discussion on biblical responsibilities would it be sinful to continue to pray outside an abortion clinic because the law forbids it?
Surprising brain activity moments before death.
This set me thinking about my brother, who was clearly conscious at the moment of his death even though he was totally immobile except for one hand that could clasp once or twice (yes or no) in response to questions, and when one of us offered comforting words into his ear. He could hear but was totally blind, with motor functions destroyed by a massive clot that bled out. My brother didn’t have a peaceful descent into death once the breathing tube was removed, which he had firmly agreed to have done; he had a struggle to breathe over two arduous days which ended in a final back-arching heart attack.
In the study above, those monitored were comatose. The conscious brain at the end seems to flare.
I am not sure that the study means anything at all, though I’ll allow that it may.

Can someone point me to where the corruption is please? Daily Telegraph:
NSW Premier Chris Minns’ move to install one of his best mates in a top parliamentary job is set to be referred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
And the ICAC report on Gladys has still not been released. How long do these investigations usually take for goodness sake. Years and and years it seems probably hoping that the Electorate will simply forget. She’ll probably only get a slap on the wrist, if not completely exonerated.
From rosies link. Beneath contempt.
Tell us, Anika, where are these 10,000 workers going to come from? The disability sector, the public health sector, out of thin air?
I must say that so far, this government is not traveling well in terms of delivering on its promises. That’s not surprising, as they were mostly based on the fallacious ‘legislate and it will be so’ premise so common amoung leftists.
The housing legislation currently stuck in the Senate is another example. The bloody-minded Greens are putting the government through the wringer with outrageous and unaffordable demands – quelle surprise!
I am beginning to suspect that watching Elbow and his minions try to deal with unrealistic expectations from their supporters and a ratbag Senate will be quite entertaining.
I predict that in three years’ time, Elbow will look ten years older.

It depends. Are you praying ostentatiously so others will notice? Are you inviting the law to come down on you like a pile of bricks so you can feel like a martyr?
God reads the heart.
If you can’t stand outside, can you sit in your car in the carpark? He still hears the prayer wherever you are.
Rosie – Yes, on the basis of Matthew 6:6 and Luke 18:9-14. However conscience may have a contribution to such things since in the latter passage it is the attitude of the heart. However there’s no reason according to the former passage for you to do so right there in that location, you can pray anywhere and it’s just as effective (but with less chance of being arrested).
Aged Care Minister Anika Wells previously acknowledged about 5 per cent of facilities, particularly in rural and remote areas, would not be able to meet the target.
That would be Anika that told reporters that because they had made it LAW that it was up to oldies homes to find the nurses..
If it’s just as effective away from the clinic why did anyone ever pray close by to a clinic?
I was under the impression people did so to sway those seeking abortion to not killing their babies.
The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.
– Andrew Carnegie
this woman is committing a sin then?
I’m not sure it depends.
If the claim is that breaking a civil law is objectively sinful then there is no wriggle room for the conscience, is there?
Another example, the Christian doctor who refuses to refer a patient to an abortion provider?
It’s the law he must do so.
I have a new friend.
Some nice person has raised this one and then released him into the wild, since no corella is this tame unless they’ve been in human company previously. It’s very rare that I can even get one to accept food from the hand, let alone sit on it. He arrived a few weeks ago and seems fairly young. The release was obviously successful since he follows the rest of the corella flock, but does like a freebie when he can get one. Thanks WIRES if they are one of your people!
You’re now citing these verses to condemn public prayer at an abortion clinic?
I thought you originally meant we should obey the law irrespective of what our conscience demanded.
Sorry Duk, but there clearly is a thing called public health and its something that arises from better sanitation, better housing regulation, and the like. Also, the privileges associated with relationships between doctor-patient, lawyer-client, priest-penitent, and the like are grounded in the public or common good.
Two things, firstly, there is simply no large constituency, politically, that is attracted to a political rhetoric that the public good is non-existent, and secondly, it is actually contrary to classical political tradition anyway. There is nothing wrong with the common good, the problem is with it understood as an aggregate of private interests. The problem with mandates was that it involved an undermining of the doctor-patient privilege that is, itself, grounded in the common good.
Break as many laws as you like rosie.
I’m not stopping you.
BTW, Fenton has a great video up at present that presents quite beautifully the vaccine efficacy illusion.
This set me thinking about my brother, who was clearly conscious at the moment of his death even though he was totally immobile except for one hand that could clasp once or twice (yes or no) in response to questions, and when one of us offered comforting words into his ear
Lizzie, this also set me thinking about the passing of my sister-in-law. She had leukaemia and managed well for many years. When she reached 50 (I think) her specialist told her that if she wanted a bone marrow transplant (her son as donor) she could not wait any longer. So the transplant took place but, sadly, did not succeed, & she contracted pneumonia soon after.
The family was summoned in her final hours. She was not conscious and her breathing was laboured. As many will know, on such occasions the family sits for hours on the bedside. The attendant nun ( it was a well known Catholic hospital in Sydney) assured us that she could hear what we said to her. After a time, our family members took a break. I could not bear to leave her alone, and so stayed by the bed, holding her hand. It feels like it was yesterday in recounting this.
Soon after they left, she suddenly awoke, looked at me in a slightly bemused way. To this day I don’t know whether she said,
“Hello Vick. What’s the time?” or “Hello Vick. It’s time” I believe it was the latter.
She tried to pull her oxygen mask off, and I, like a panicky fool, called for the nursing staff. By the time she arrived, and also the family from the adjoining room, she had passed away.
It was one of the most moving experiences of my life, and I felt somehow privileged to have been there at that moment. But then I am a bit of a romanticist.
Someone did this.
Someone
That’s not the issue Calli.
It’s whether breaking the law is also always a sin.
I don’t think it is, there are quite a few civil laws that are contrary to God’s law.
Rosie – Breaking civil law is required if obeying civil law is in conflict with God’s law. So it was fine for early Christians to defy the Roman order to sacrifice to Roman deities, since that is in direct conflict with the ten commandments. I admit it’s a difficult issue though.
She’s a brave lady, perhaps there’s a way around the law that can do what she hopes to do without breaching the law. I can’t think of one, but Cats are inventive so maybe someone else can think of a way. How about a drone with a sign say? Or a dog with a sign on his coat? Is walking your dog past an abortion centre illegal?
That whole Tasmania/AFL/Stadium thing explained…
You know it makes sense.
The French Finance Minister?
French Finance Minister Under Fire For Writing, Publishing Erotic Novel While in Office (3 May)
I was amused when Pachauri the railway engineering guy who was head of the IPCC came out with a bad soft porn novel which he wrote on planes between climate meetings.
I reiterate, just in case you missed it:
This was said in the context of wearing a mask to church.
On laws that are cruel and unjust and ungodly – those that directly contravene the ten commandments, it’s pretty clear cut. Just. Don’t. The Christian doctor referring their patient to an abortionist would fall into that category.
As for the young lady outside the clinic, standing and praying. Firstly the law is clearly in breach of other freedom of religion laws. It is internally inconsistent. This could be challenged legally.
However, I would ask myself if I was led to do this personally – why exactly am I doing it? Is it to shame the women attending the clinic? Is this an act of love? Is it because I want someone to film me testing the law? Does this honour God? Is it because I really think that if I stand there praying that a woman may change their mind? I would really have to allow myself to be searched on this one and leave no corner of my motives hidden (not that I could anyway).
I tend to look at these things case by case, because that is how we live our lives.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/04/deanna-violet-coco-to-face-court-after-allegedly-spray-painting-woodside-logo-on-perth-police-station
A magistrate has commended high-profile New South Wales environmental activist Deanna “Violet” Coco but said she had gone “too far” by defacing a Perth police station.
Coco, 32, was convicted and fined $200 after she admitted spray painting four yellow Woodside Energy logos on the front windows of the Perth police centre a day earlier.
The Western Australian magistrates court was told her actions at the police station were an act of solidarity with local campaigners targeted by police amid an escalating crackdown on protesters.
..
“It is noble and commendable people have strong personal views,” he said on Thursday.
“It’s a fundamental tenet of western democracy … a functioning democracy … it should be supported.
“You don’t have to go too far abroad to see the restrictions on personal freedoms and activism.”
Coco was ordered to pay $500 in damages.
“In a lot of regards you should be commended, however, you breached the law … you went too far on this occasion,” Walton said.
“I encourage to you to do it but you should be encouraged to do it in a lawful manner.
“It should be something held to be very precious to all of us.”
Coco, who was jailed and then released last year after being charged with offences relating to activism in New South Wales, was remanded in custody on Wednesday night after her arrest.
She said in a statement that she had travelled to Western Australia to stand in solidarity with protesters opposing the development of the Burrup peninsula.
“I am a survivor of the authoritarian crackdown on environmental protest on the east coast and I have come over to WA to sound the alarm and stand in solidarity with campaigners facing the same police state repression here,” she said
So a lefty who was a prosecutor. Odds on he was a full blown COVID Nazi.

For those who didn’t see my morning post re the TGA’s backflip on Ivermectin – Jo Nova has posted an excellent overview:
After a 628 day ban for no medical reason, the Australian TGA has decided that our doctors will be allowed to prescribe ivermectin “off label” again, like they did for decades without a problem. Apparently, they don’t have to worry now that crazy people will use it to avoid getting injected with a barely studied, radical new form of drug which had no published data.
TGA: Removal of prescribing restrictions on ivermectin
From 1 June 2023, prescribing of oral ivermectin for ‘off-label’ uses will no longer be limited…
…there is sufficient evidence that the safety risks to individuals and public health is low when prescribed by a general practitioner in the current health climate.
This considers the evidence and awareness of medical practitioners about the risks and benefits of ivermectin, and the low potential for any shortages of ivermectin for its approved uses. Also, given the high rates of vaccination and hybrid immunity against COVID-19 in Australia, use of ivermectin by some individuals is unlikely to now compromise public health.
Ten years before this decision they knew it was no threat to public health. Ivermectin was known to be so safe researchers fed it to children in a trial to kill head lice in a Canberra primary school in 2010. Back in those medieval days, people were giving horse dewormer to kids, and nobody cared.
When it was banned, the TGA gave three reasons, none of which made sense. In September 2021 the TGA even pretended Australia might run out of ivermectin due to the new demand driven by consenting taxpayers with their doctor’s recommendation. This is a drug that is so mass produced, it costs six cents a tablet and that same month, Indian suppliers sold nearly $3 million USD worth. Yet no one in the Australian government thought to phone Indiamart and put in an order? The shortage was never the problem was it?
How many people died because ivermectin was banned?
Mortality, skull, deathOne study of 8,300 people in Brazil showed that taking ivermectin regularly before catching Covid halved the odds of catching it, and reduced mortality by 92%. Prophylactic use reduced hospitalization by 98%, and in a dose dependent manner.
If unvaccinated people were threatening our hospital system, it was only ever because they were denied ivermectin by unaccountable, unelected government committees.
Over 20 countries adopted ivermectin for COVID-19. The evidence base is much larger than typically used to approve drugs.
In the end, about 20,000 people died of Covid in Australia, many of who might have been saved, but there have also been some 15,000 Australians who died unexpectedly in 2022, who theoretically might not have died, if their doctors had had the freedom to treat them the way they felt was best. And then there are the businesses destroyed, the billions of dollars wasted, and those who live on, but suffer long term spike related injuries via either long covid or the TGA approved “carrots”.
Craig Kelly: this may have something to do with the former TGA head being sued for malfeasance:
Someone asked “why now”? Craig Kelly replied:
“… the TGA couldn’t hold out forever, as their senior management were risking being personally sued for Malfeasance given the tsunami of evidence rolling in, showing that Ivermectin is highly effective against Covid. Although this is a time for celebration, we should stop and spare a thought for the thousands of Australians that lost their lives in this war, that died unnecessarily from Covid because the TGA denied them access to this life saving Ivermectin. It’s now time for the war crime trials and reparations. –@CKellyUAP
“I think the fact that the recently retired head of TGA was being sued personally for his conduct. It put the new head of the TGA on notice, that they were potentially personally liable – plus the weight of recent studies showing Ivermectin was highly effective. If they maintained the ban, there was a real personal risk, and they’d have no chance defending the ban on merit. — @CKellyUAP
Last week Australians sued the Government for Vaccine related injuries
The former TGA head is named in the Class Action. Professor Skerritt (head of the TGA) retired on April 18.
The Applicant alleges that the Respondents’ actions to advance the acceptance and use of the various approved Covid-19 vaccines constitutes negligence and/or misfeasance.
This is just stunning news. Of course, you would have to convince your GP to prescribe it – and that may be no mean feat.
As it turned out, we did not need Ivermectin when our household members eventually contracted Covid19. The usual daily cocktail of vitamins plus Covid extra help via Quercetin, aspirin and anti-histamines, & for husband – his asthma puffer with its steroid – was more than sufficient to deal with what was a 3-5 day illness.
I was surprised to read that Dr. Peter McCullough (pretty sure it was McCullough) is not convinced of the evidence for the efficacy of either Ivermectin or Hydroxychloriquine. However, his argument is that, for most people (younger & no co-morbidities) Covid is not a particularly dangerous corona virus, & therefore the use of these drugs may have been overrated.
Yes, Ed, they still do.

So do I, Bruce, but I’m not sure I want him. The Currawongs only come sporadically to check if anything is put out for them, but a large young crow has now made himself a regular.

Vicki, I am glad that you have good memories of your relative’s death.
My brother’s death was cruel and painful to sit with, even though he was given a degree of morphine to dull his sense of being unable to breathe. We had to call for more at the end, and even that didn’t stop the final violent death throes. I am still upset by it, and sometimes dream badly of it, or it surfaces when I am reminded of my brother. Last night we watched Barry Humphries on Who Do You Think You Are, the show that investigates family history. He was wonderful and so full of life it made a good memory. He also looked at times a lot like my brother, which stirred strong feelings in me, like a minor PTSD.

Lizzie – I suspect your crow is a young male. They get shown the door this point in the season. Over the years I’ve had two young male crows become friendly enough to accept food from my hand…briefly…until the clan spotted them and evicted them from the family territory. One lasted three days, the other nearly a month before being caught. Your new visitor may get the same treatment therefore! Life is tough for young male crows.
I discourage crows around the Cafe since they eat the clientele if they get the chance, especially raiding any nests. But I do give food to a matriarch crow up at the end of my street: she’s not tame but she’s learned that the particular location is halal. This morning she spotted me on my walk and followed me all the way to the special place, whereupon she received some mince. But she knows not to come any nearer to my house. They’re quite intelligent.

Speaking of birds, I spotted a trio sparrows the other day.
Relatively rare these days.

As an atheist, I just don’t go with any of this. I recognise a moral obligation to obey just and reasonable laws. I did not sign up to be an obedient serf and follow orders given by stupid, ignorant bureaucrats. Nobody in the world has a right to give me orders. Nobody. I generally comply with requests because I’m a kindly fellow, mostly. But I shan’t wear a mask to keep out (or in) a virus, because I know it won’t accomplish that, and I have objections to spreading hysteria, which is something masks do accomplish. My relationship with government authority is that I’ll go along with legal obligations, pretty much, but don’t bother passing a law saying anyone can give me orders. I never agreed to that.
Soooooo .. hands up all those that already knew over 60s ( actually, you are almost 61 on minimum age qualification) were paid more on the dole than under 60s?
In the excess of dollars it ain’t a biggie but it is more ……. $51.90 a fortnight ..
No idea when it came about cos I don’t ever remember any announcement .. it, definitely, wasn’t happening before I retired cos I spent my last 2 years on Sickness benefit (Cancer) which paid the same as the dole ..

Domestically, yes they seem to have done so, calli, although the loss of sparrow populations is a worldwide phenomenon with several causes postulated.
so when dan xi man introduces a law which forbids me expressing a mild objection to drag storytime?
that brand of pissweak christianity is not for me
Sadly the English sparrows who used to forage at the local shopping centre were displaced about a year ago by noisies and peewees. Just sort of happened. I don’t think they’re Cafe graduates since the centre is six km away. But they’re pretty jolly wandering around the food tables under the feet of the diners picking up crumbs. Life is life.
I’ve often wondered how corellas would go in a minefield.
The Christian position on this isn’t monolithic.
Some, from Thomas Aquinas & the Jesuits to Presbyterians and Congregationalists, have found biblical justification for the right of rebellion against unjust laws and tyranny.
A famous modern instance is Bonhoeffer.

It’s hilarious watching the dogs bouncing through the high grass like antelopes popping their heads up to find their way.

Victorian MP Moira Deeming has initiated legal action over her nine-month suspension from the Liberal Party (Sky News, 4 May)
Ms Deeming accepted the suspension after Opposition leader John Pesutto agreed to drop a motion to expel her over her attendance at a women’s rights rally that was crashed by neo-Nazis.
In an email to colleagues on Thursday afternoon, Ms Deeming said she has advised her lawyers to “prepare a legal challenge” over her suspension, arguing that opposition leader John Pesutto had failed to live up to his part of the agreement.
…
“To date, I am the only one who has honoured that agreement. I am suspended, but there has been no joint exoneration statement and inconsistent messaging regarding my automatic return to the Party Room.”
Earlier on Thursday Ms Deeming issued an ultimatum informing Mr Pesutto he had until 2pm to issue a statement exonerating her from the “charges laid against me” or she would begin legal action.
“Given that the Leadership did not make the statement of exoneration, or confirm my return, and that no mediation or even any minutes exist to settle this dispute, I have advised my lawyers to prepare a legal challenge over my suspension,” Ms Deeming said in her email this afternoon.
RTWT. Vic Libs really do seem to want to commit seppuku in the most blody and public way possible. Well that’s fine. Hopefully MsDeeming can lead a new conservative party to the opposition benches, after the LINOs expire bloodily on their own swords.
I’m of the opinion that anyone who wants to watch drag queens has something wrong with them. Anyone who thinks inflicting it on children is reasonable is a twisted sicko.
I’m extremely tolerant, so if a bunch of adults want to watch drag shows, I shan’t try to stop them. But I’ll take care to avoid their company.

Stew Peters goes into the lion’s den and teaches the BBC a lesson.
Watch behind the scenes footage the BBC doesn’t want you to see.
The BBC attempts and fails to discredit the wildly successful documentary “Died Suddenly”.
Stew financed and released “Died Suddenly” to save lives from the murderous Covid cult.
Throughout the interview Stew exposes the pro-vaxx lies parroted by the mainstream media.
The BBC continues to promote a bioweapon injection that is killing children.
The fake news “journalists” were completely caught off guard and not prepared to answer Stew’s questions about why embalmers are finding white fibrous clots inside the vaccinated dead.
Stew reminds the BBC of vaccinated Damar Hamlin’s sudden collapse on national television.
The average number of professional athletes who have collapsed during competition is 5 to 10 per year.
In the last year that number has climbed to over 1000.
The United States is funneling money into the fake construct of a country called Ukraine.
The Covid-19 pandemic was used to enact a massive worldwide depopulation event.
People must be held accountable for their blatant crimes against humanity and that also includes lying journalists.

‘End of Story’: Top Epidemiologist Explains Why COVID Vaccine Mandates Have NO PLACE in Public Health
The CDC uses the words “transient” and “waning” to describe the mRNA COVID-19 shots.
“The idea of ‘transient’ and ‘waning’ is not part of my public health lexicon,” expressed epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch.
“Whether or not they [COVID shots] prevent severity of illness is not a state interest,” he attested.
“What’s a state interest is preventing unwilling people from getting infected by their neighbors … The CDC says that the vaccines don’t do that. And to me, that is the end of the story. That is the statement that the vaccines should and cannot be mandated for prevention of infection. And the state no longer has an interest in that fact.”

Oh. Ed’s back.
Thanks for the kerplop.
One kerplop isn’t too bad, but Grandpa Ed Simpson is suffering from digital diarrhea tonight.
Faruqi is bringing our Pauline to the 18C chamber of horrors because our Pauline told her to piss off back home after faraqi said on the day of the death of Madge this:
Condolences to those who knew the Queen.
I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples.
We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.
faruqi has spewed up other twits such as this where she racially vilifies whites.
Faruqi has brought action in the Federal Court under 18C which deals with offensive behaviour based on race, colour or national or ethnic origin. A couple of things. Faruqi clearly has contravened 18C herself. In addition the full context of what our Pauline said has been ignored with the focus on the piss off ending. Our Pauline said in response to faruqi’s dreadful response to madge’s death:
“Your attitude appalls and disgusts me. When you immigrated to Australia you took every advantage of this country”.
“You took citizenship, bought multiple homes, and a job in a parliament. It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan,”
That would seem to satisfy S.18D (c), (iii) which says:
(ii) a fair comment on any event or matter of public interest if the comment is an expression of a genuine belief held by the person making the comment.
Finally faruqi is a muzzie. Islam is not a race, colour or national or ethnicity so as to invoke 18C.
I blame bespoke, he had to ask.
Nasty piece of work but then most ‘Jounalists’ are. Why accept the ABC salary if he despises the people paying it so much?

“I will vote to expel Deeming at State Council or Assembly”
As I wrote earlier, I really think it’s time the Victorian Liberals shut up shop.
It’s now embarrassing. It’s no wonder Dan reigns supreme.
A few weeks ago someone on C.L.’s blog made the accurate observation that the Victorian Liberals don’t want to win elections. You might ask….why not? Well, winning elections requires hard work, it requires discipline, it requires opposing, resisting, speaking against governments in power, it requires not dumping on your own and it requires party apparatchiks not using Wikipedia as a source to defame and smear one of the few real performers in the party. It appears that all of this was and is way too hard for the Victorian Liberal Party, and instead they lick Andrews’ bum on everything. Opposing and resisting is too hard for Guy, Pesutto and others in the Victorian Liberal Party, instead, the Victorian Victorian are comfortable in their tidy and safe sinecure and they prefer to blame everyone else for their problems. The party is not salvageable, it’s over.
In the meantime, Deeming should join the Liberal Democrats.
Saint Stan was the bozo who took his children to show them where the evil white man destroyed the Walpuiri “Nation” by poisoning the waterholes….

Hopefully someone knows what I meant.
“Nostalgia is a powerful motivator, Cassie.

Yep. Akin to being opium addicts. The Victorian Liberals, bar a few, are like inert bodies in an opium den. Remember, apart from the four years of Beaulieu and Napthine, the Liberal Party in Victoria has now been out of power for twenty years. What’s tragic is that there are millions of Victorians who deserve better, but they can’t get better, they’re the forgotten people.

Except for a class of young millionaires who can start investing in other businesses from a relatively young age, indirectly employ people through higher consumption and there is an alternative currency if the dollar sharts itself outside of gold & silver. It is also the formation of a new kind of financial services platform. Comparing this to “SHOVEL READY!” projects is absurd.

Dubbo youth crime: Police, locals share horror stories of break ins, theft
Children as young as 10 are being charged multiple times for youth crime related offences in the state’s central west – as terrified families say they face home invasions on a monthly basis.
A ten-year-old boy in the state’s central west has been charged on 17 different occasions in relation to youth crime – as frustrated local police say the level of vacancies are hampering their ability to tackle a growing scourge of kid gangs from dusk to dawn.
Police Association of NSW president Kevin Morton said the boy was released from custody every time he was charged, “up until his most recent matter when bail was finally refused”.
“Our police are currently dealing with a group of young people who sadly continue to reoffend and terrify locals,” Mr Morton said.
Mr Morton said the “revolving door of the court system” needed to be addressed.
Officers told The Daily Telegraph the Orana-Mid Western Police District was struggling to cope with growing crime rates – including an increasing number of incidents relating to youth crime – citing “inflated” vacancies and long-term health related leave.
“Police can’t keep up with the sheer amount of criminal activity across the district,” one officer said. “The district is short-staffed, we have a high number of vacancies and a significant number of officers on health leave.
“Even if we could impose a youth curfew, we wouldn’t have enough boots on the ground to deal with the number of call-outs we get everyday.
‘The number of officers rostered on overnight hasn’t really changed in several years, despite our growing overnight youth crime issue – we are at breaking point.”
Another former officer argued NSW Police advocated for youth programs, rather than a strict curfew to stamp out criminal behaviour, because of the “huge” grant funding associated with the initiatives.
“The department’s response to growing vacancy rates across the boards is introducing four new probationary constables.”
Mr Morton said police recruitment and retention “remains a significant issue”.
“The PANSW will continue to work with the NSWPF and Government to find solutions through training, improved wages and entitlements to attract and retain our officers.”
The calls to keep youth offenders in custody after repeated offences comes as Dubbo residents revealed the constant threat youth crime poses across the central west.
“My house was broken into, property stolen, car stolen and destroyed after being taken for a joy ride – $30,000 in damages that I’ll never see again,” one resident said.
Another Dubbo resident said home security cameras alerted him to a teenager attempting to break into his car and house earlier this month.
“This isn’t an uncommon issue for us,” he said.
The man said he scared the teen off before he accessed the house, before calling the police.
“Police swing by about 20 minutes later and as they pull up out the front of our house they startle two young teenagers in our yard,” he said.
“The police put handcuffs on them and began questioning what they were doing – they were uncooperative and seemed to know the system – telling the police they couldn’t be arrested as they were too young.
“A quick search from the police found them to be carrying meth, tools to break into houses and a large knife.”
The man said just two nights later a car was stolen at knifepoint.
“We’ve lived in Dubbo for 2 years now and we average a break in every six to eight weeks.”
A NSW Police spokeswoman said the department would “continue to work towards meeting the expectations of the local community to increase their safety and will continue to engage the community of Dubbo to identify and address concerns that may exist or arise from time to time in the township”.
“Dubbo Police Station operates on a 24/7 basis and provides a consistent and well-resourced complement of local officers to ensure the community has the best possible policing response and is equipped to meet local needs,” she said.
“Western Region Commander Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree has been appointed Corporate Sponsor for Youth.
“Mr Greentree will be focusing on education and employment as key priorities, working with partner agencies.
Meanwhile, Police Minister Yasmin Catley said she “shares community concerns about anti-social and criminal behaviour and supports the range of actions and interventions Police and government agencies are taking to keep people safe”.

And in Qld again…
Just hours after he helped steal a Mercedes which would later be involved in a triple fatal crash, a 13-year-old boy was allegedly back behind the wheel of another stolen car, driving past the Maryborough police station and taunting officers who were powerless to pursue.
This is among the confronting details the Courier Mail has uncovered amid an investigation into the events before and after the stolen Mercedes allegedly caused a crash which claimed the lives of Kelsie Davies, 17, Michale Chandler, 29 and Sheree Robertson, 52 on Sunday night.
While not in the car at the time of the crash (another 13-year-old boy has been charged with dangerous driving causing death) it’s understood the juvenile was not only the passenger captured on CCTV when the Mercedes was stolen earlier that evening but that he has also continued to leave a trail of carnage since.
It can be revealed the boy, despite knowing his friend had the night before been arrested over a crash which killed three people, allegedly stole a white Kia Cerato with the registration 240 XYS, on Labour Day morning.
That car was seen being driven erratically through the city with multiple sources saying the three youths inside that car drove past the Maryborough Police Station, “taunting” officers, throwing things out the window and sticking their middle fingers up.
A picture of the Kia was posted on the Maryborough Community page that same morning with the caption “here we go again last seen flying down Kent St, front end smashed”.
It’s understood police were unable to give chase due to pursuit legislation and the CBD location.
The boy has since been arrested and on Thursday was charged with two counts of dangerous operation of motor vehicle, one count each of driving without a licence and possessing dangerous drugs.
Which means that the studies that showed it made no difference didn’t use any real world data, or simply deleted data that showed it did.
Just hours after he helped steal a Mercedes which would later be involved in a triple fatal crash, a 13-year-old boy was allegedly back behind the wheel of another stolen car, driving past the Maryborough police station and taunting officers who were powerless to pursue.

To every closet wannabe tyrant, yes.
The fact that RAT’s were illegal in WA and citizens faced a $20,000 fine for using them while the mine sites were testing everyone 2x a day with them says more than enough.
Oh wait it gets even better- part of the justification of this ban and fine was:
“In Western Australia (WA) the Chief Health Officer has prohibited the use of SARS-CoV-2
rapid antigen tests as an acute illness diagnostic tool for COVID-19, as their use may
adversely affect the prevention, control and abatement of the serious public health risk
presented by COVID-19”

Why people in Australia continue to listen to anything their government officials tell them is beyond my comprehension
Good pickup slackster. A proper forensic account of that whole period would provide numerous examples of such absurdities.
