  • Good Try, Dan, Fail!

    This flashed across my FB feed this morning. The kids have got it sussed. It only took Covid to get Dan to fund more adventurous skate parks. We can now fill the hospitals with kids who tried to do a rail slide on a precariously balanced block of concrete.

  • Guest post: Bar Beach Swimmer – Vaccine Passports? A ‘new’ Australia awaits

    A growing fascism in Australia is becoming evident and alarming.  Based on the new health status controls of vaccine passports for Covid-19 – we can forget what the Prime Minister would prefer to call them, for these are government mandated identity and travel papers – Australia is dangerously close to authoritarian rule. From media reports…

  • Mater’s Musings #24: Excess Deaths

    I’ll point out the obvious, and you can make conclusions. The Orange line represents the average number of deaths for the five years 2015-2019. The Blue area represents the range of deaths for that same period. The Red line represents Deaths last year, running into this year, and the Blue line represents the daily new…

  • Guest Post: MatrixTransform – How to tell UP from DOWN

    If it is for your own good … then you are locked DOWN. If it is for the greater good, well … then you are locked UP. Easy-peasy, right? If your mind is a fortress, then who keeps the key?

  • Guest post: Cassie of Sydney – Betrayed by hollow men and women

    On Saturday, Vikki Campion’s piece, Let our PM be human, rightly attracted a lot of condemnation. My indignation and anger at reading Vikki’s piece has made me think about how inept and useless our state and federal Liberal governments are.  The always superb Professor James Allan has written very well over the years about how supine…

  • Jacqui Wields Her Big “Package”

    For those tuning in from overseas, no, this isn’t the Nuremberg Rally Reenactment Society’s latest. This is Australian Senator, Jacqui Lambie, defending the rights of her beloved Tasmanians – the role she was elected for. To be fair, at least she’s not doing secret backroom deals to strip us of our rights, whilst we’re locked…

  • Recent reports on serious problems with the vaccines

    Here’s some background: Lara Logan drops dynamite Fox News segment on Biden’s sweeping vaccine mandates. On Thursday, “President” Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. broke another of his promises by requiring vaccine mandates on most, but not all, American citizens.  The next day, Fox News aired a terrific seven-minute segment by Lara Logan titled “Mandate Nation,” and it’s really…

  • Violence against women

    The headline story in The Age today was, “Jab blitz to target city’s north, west”. And this is what it said right there on that front page. Victorians [not women, but Victorians] who are more than 24 weeks pregnant will now be able to get priority access at state-run vaccine hubs. Not only are they…

  • Before commonsense died of Covid

    Let’s have a quick look back at a time when commonsense still existed. This was aired on the 23rd March 2020…approximately 7 days before the Governments went full retard. What happened to these expert opinions, especially about the usefulness (or lack thereof) of ‘literally closing the place down’?

  3. Apparently First Nayshuns cryptanalysts broke the code between the Sirius and the Admiralty just three days before the Not-the-First-Fleet arrived,…

  5. I acknowledge the traditional custodian of this blog … I also demand reparations from insomnia. Always was, always will be…
