  • The Kafkaesque process of Vaccine Exemptions

    This is an incredible story. This lady is being put through the ringer here in Victoria in order to obtain a medical exemption even though she clearly deserves one given her previous anaphylactic episodes with other medical interventions. Her GP refused on the grounds of ‘legal liability’ but I think its rather fear of an…

  • Guest Post: mem – Amongst the political fall-out in Victoria are we witnessing a rising star?

    I watched the recently appointed Victoria Shadow Attorney-General, Matthew Bach, being interviewed by Peta Credlin on Sky News. He spoke calmly and authoritatively about the current impasse in Parliament concerning the Andrews pandemic Bill. It was the first time that I have heard him speak in his new position. It is also the first time…

  • Weekday Reading #12

    Where’s the Attorney-General on vaccine mandates? (Spectator Australia) This week much attention has been on Coalition MPs and Senators hearing the vox populi following the ever-increasing demonstrations around Australia and demanding that the government do something to stop state premiers and territory chief ministers threatening people’s livelihoods and their ability to participate in everyday life with vaccine mandates…

  • Melbourne Freedom March, 20 Nov 2021

    Here is my perspective of the March on Saturday. I joined the march at roughly 12.15pm on the corner of Russell and Bourke St having parked at QV. Parking was busy. Traders must be loving the numbers coming into the city at the moment in order to protest.

  • Guest Post: mem – Are young women bearing the brunt of the vaccine mandates?

    Watching footage of the demonstrations against the vaccine mandates over the past few weeks, I was amazed at the number of young women participating. To my knowledge this is unprecedented. No wonder many women in their child-bearing years are tentative about getting the jab. There has been little evaluation as to the impact of the…
