  • Guest Post: Mem – Extrapolating Backwards or the Case of the Missing Dam

    During the millennial drought (2006 -2010) there was great concern that Melbourne might run out of water. The Labor government in Victoria pushed for the construction of a desalination plant. Graphs and statistics were presented showing historical records of Melbourne’s water supply and usage, as well as projections for the future. All emphasized the

  • Kimber v Sapphire Coast – Part 1

    I’ve been reading the first half of Commissioner Dean’s dissent in the Kimber decision relating to Ms Kimber’s refusal to take the flu vaccine in 2020 in purported contravention of a Public Health Order (PHO).

  • Melbourne Syndrome reaches a world’s record

    The Melbourne Syndrome is now officially the world’s worst.  From The Age: Melbourne lockdown becomes world’s longest as state records 1377 new local COVID-19 cases, four death.  Not to mention that Victoria’s Premier is the world’s most incompetent leader.

  • 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…

  • Fair (Work) Lady says it all

    “The statements by politicians that those who are not vaccinated are a threat to public health and should be “locked out of society” and denied the ability to work are not measures to protect public health. They are not about public health and not justified because they do not address the actual risk of COVID.…
