  • Time to just get on with our lives, don’t you think?

    Meanwhile, let me draw your attention to this: A Modest Proposal Re Covid by David Archibald. Amongst other things, he writes this: The problem with covid vaccines is that even if you vaccinate 100%, you will still have an epidemic because they are not efficient enough to prevent it. And we are just a few mutations…

  • Lockdowns are having “long-lasting effects on the economy” according to Australian business

    Australia’s Corporations Rebel Against Government’s Draconian COVID Lockdowns is from Zero Hedge in the US reporting on a story published by the Financial Times in London. It may be in the local press, but I haven’t come across it here. Still, an important story, you would think. In the letter – which was reported on…

  • Their collective grief is insurmountable

    This was on the letters page at The Australian today: The Grief of Parents. It is a lament from someone who can find almost no sympathy from anyone who could actually do something. We live in the saddest of times when this is the only avenue for someone to get this message out more widely. The…

  • A reminder of just how bad Malcolm’s judgment is

    Look what the man who signed a contract for submarine delivery in the great by and bye has to say: Scott Morrison put national security at risk. Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has claimed Prime Minister Scott Morrison put Australia’s national security at risk in the way he has handled the decision to dump a…

  • The non-crisis crisis still being run at maximum levels on the left

    Hardly news to notice that the ABC is run by far-left idiots who are, no doubt at all, fully in sync with the Victorian Labor Government but really this is way over the top. Victoria records 950 COVID-19 cases and seven deaths as some restrictions ease slightly. This is the state of catastrophe they record.…

  • To see ourselves as others see us

    This is direct from Instapundit in the US. Dan Andrews is as thick and dumb as anyone I have ever seen in politics, but you would hope that there might be others in his government who see the massive damage the Victorian Government is inflicting on the State and on Australia’s good standing among the…

  • Key facts and sources about the “pandemic”

    30 facts you NEED to know: Your Covid Cribsheet. Here’s the list but go to the link to see the detail. Most of them you know already, but some you might not. The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%. There has been NO unusual excess mortality. Covid death” counts are artificially inflated. The vast…

  • Recalling the Black Lives Matter protests in Melbourne last year

    These are images from Melbourne’s Black Lives Matter protests. How different things were, and no police in sight. June 6, 2020 at the height of the Covid panic. That was then. This is now: (2) pic.twitter.com/UqVTAe8QTs — New Granada (@NewGranada1979) September 22, 2021 With this as a reminder of what the difference really is.

  • “Junta has turned Covid into a weapon”

    So there I was, sitting down to dinner, and finally turning to the paper, and there, in The Oz, after its idiotic coverage of the protests in Melbourne yesterday, I found this story with the above headline. Amazing, I said to myself, an actually accurate story of what went on. Afraid not. It was a…

  • “This once thriving liberal democracy”

    If this is the best American members of Congress can do, they really should just keep their views to themselves: US Republicans call for sanctions against Australia over police treatment of protesters. There you find: What is taking place in Australia is unprecedented. This once thriving liberal democracy now more closely resembles a tyrannical regime.…
