Mater’s Musings #57 – Bing-Bong, You Were/Are Wrong!
So lacking ‘fully approved’ vaccines, you happily started stabbing the community with a ‘provisionally approved’ version? Did you even inform them that was the case? Seriously, two peak professional bodies for the healthcare sector weren’t au fait with the approval process the vaccines were going though? No wonder I had stand up fights with several…

Mater’s Musings #55 – An Inconvenient Truth
Love this quote, but it’s all worth a read. “The difference between the motive powers in the economy of society under private property and under communism would be greatest in case of the directing minds.

I’ve already dealt with this myth here. As for the claim about being denied access to soldier settlement schemes, perhaps Libraries Tasmania (and other interested parties) should…

Were they that bad? #5 – 1967 Referendum – Part 2 (Sect 127)
Following on from my previous post, let’s skip the step of again proving that the existence of Section 127 of the Constitution (in it’s original form) is being sold as proof of Australia’s anti-aboriginal history. The charges against it are varied: First Nations people were ‘dying out’ and, hence, would soon cease to be a…

Were they that bad? #4 – 1967 Referendum – Part 1 (Sect 51 xxvi)
As you can see from the sample above, the INCLUSION of specific Aboriginal provisions in the original constitution has been sold as a negative, with all manner of accusations and probable anti-aboriginal motivations levelled at them. Not even those paid to populate the Australian Parliament House website can manage to specify why they may have…
