Liberty Quote
History is littered with examples of politicians withdrawing citizens’ rights to free expression because they did not like what they had been saying about them at a particular moment in history.
Scratch the surface of this proposal and you will find a harsh new regime which stands to damage Australia’s reputation as a democracy and might well come back to bite the politicians, academics and publishers who are supporting it today.— Mark Pearson-

Important Question of the Day!
SHOULD YOU FIT A SNORKEL SOCK?
SOME SWEAR BY THEM, OTHERS RECKON THEY’RE RESTRICTIVE AND TOO EASILY BLOCKED. SO, SHOULD YOU FIT A SNORKEL SOCK ON YOUR 4X4?
We all know the benefits of fitting a snorkel on your 4X4; clean air, improved water fording and so on. And we all know the importance of fitting quality filters on our 4X4s. Snorkel socks aren’t new and there are plenty of people who run them, especially those living in dusty areas or areas with bug problems (think locusts), but just what is a snorkel sock and is it a good idea to fit one on your 4X4? Read on.
Personally ~I use As an added bonus, the Safari SS86HFZ snorkel system can be fitted with a Donaldson cyclonic pre-filter for sustained vehicle operating environments where high levels of airborne dust are frequently encountered.

There are close to 800,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices in this country today, and this will grow towards one million in the coming years.
Are “voices” the same as “people”?
Much easier would be is that anyone who’s in Irsn now that arrived here as an illegsl or refugre should immediately have their residence cancelled and re-entry refused into the Australia. Two birds, one stone.
Hey Zulu, maybe the moderators at the Oz are getting the message.
Re the story above, they accepted my comment:
Not sure how you can argue: “in Ken Wyatt we do have an indigenous Federal Minister. He is sending out a message: “we are in charge of our fate, it is up to us””.
How can an approximately 1/40th group of Australians be “in charge of their fate” if they are relying on the others for funding?
I thought it more than likely it would not get up.

Trudeau’s election cops demanded that I hand over my editorial plans. Here’s what I sent them.
Ezra Levant (March 3, 2020):
Yesterday, my lawyers received another threat letter from Justin Trudeau’s elections police. They demanded that I hand over all of my private notes and files relating to my best-selling book, “The Libranos”.
That’s an illegal demand, of course. We have freedom of the press in Canada and privacy laws too. We’re allowed to write books that criticize the prime minister. This isn’t Iran or China.
But here’s the thing. When I met with Trudeau’s elections police a few weeks ago, I asked them to make me a deal — that if they were planning to raid our Rebel News offices for documents, that they’d simply send me or my lawyers a request for our records, and we’d deal with it in court.
I asked them to rule out a SWAT-style raid on our offices. I asked them to promise not to smash down our doors.
And they refused. They refused to rule out an actual police raid on my office.
And then yesterday they sent an e-mail to my lawyers demanding that I hand over any relevant documents “as soon as possible”. (You can see that email below.)
Here’s a video I made, describing the latest demands from Trudeau’s elections police — and showing how they refused to rule out a police raid:
So what would you do? Would you give Trudeau your private editorial notes? Your business plans?
Part of me thinks I should be scared. But part of me thinks this whole thing is a stupid joke. I mean, we’re still Canada, right? This must be a joke, right?
So I made a decision. I sent our key document — it’s marked “top secret” — to Trudeau’s police.
And here’s what I just sent them by e-mail:
It’s a joke.
Just like Trudeau is a joke.
Just like Trudeau’s election cops are a joke.
Just like Trudeau’s respect for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a joke.
It’s the “top secret” plan for my book.
It’s a cartoon, so Trudeau can understand it.
Did you think I was going to hand over my private editorial notes to these bullies?
I’d go to jail first. And maybe I will. But not without the fight of my life.
It’s about to get real now. But we’ve lawyered up — the same lawyers we used to beat Trudeau when he banned our reporters from covering the election debates last year.
Indigenous Australians’ voice will be heard loud and proud

2 items on Neil Mitchell’s show this morning. Well one that was a news snippet on the hour
First the State Government will be in receipt of tolls on the new road being built I believe, Transurban won’t be in the mix. This presumably will be required to build more bollards in response to the Bourke Street hearings.
Second was Mitchell had on an oncologist who has performed euthanasia on 3 people. The language used by the doctor was quite chilling. Putting them to sleep he said. I mean FMD i’ve seen many terminally ill people and not one have complained about their experiences. One of my best mates succumbed to cancer at 30. He lived life without regrets with resilience. Hopefully I never get to this stage but euthanasia will never be on the agenda. Or will the State see to it?
The indigenous or rather I should say the political indigenous want their land nd but they don’t want to live on their land in the traditional sense but to suck off European culture and money and then they want some more. To which I say sod off.
I noticed the other day that a group of Aboriginal women went to see Pauline Hanson to ask for help in dealing with violence in their community and they went to Hanson because all the other politicos including Ken Wyatt couldn’t give a piece of dung.
I worry that when they finally put this Marxist wankery to a referendum, it may get up because people are just too disengaged and bus oblivious to the shenanigans and because all the money will go to promoting the political indigenous side with lots of feelz and Aboriginals like the women who visited Hanson will never have their voices heard and once again we will lose another generation of Aboriginal people who truly need help largely because of the actions of the political indigenous.
Article in Daily Mail today indicates Steve Price had a good go at women’s AFL on Eddie McGuire radio show.
McGuire indicated Govt sports infrastructure funding was tied into promoting women’s game.
Comments agree with Price.
Next step is the Govt saying to Army no more bullets until women 50.% of infantry.
Oooh errr…..
Latrell Mitchell has hit back at criticism of his appearance in an NRL ad campaign.
Some fans criticised the ad – which features Tina Turner’s song ‘The Best’ in an homage to a famous campaign from the 1990s – pointing out a string of errors and saying it was too politicised.
The two-minute advert shows Mitchell standing in the water at a beach with an Aboriginal flag draped over his shoulders, which Karl Stefanovic claimed did more harm than good.
‘How do you unite the game when you have a picture of Latrell Mitchell on his own with the Aboriginal flag around him? That’s not unifying, that’s divisive,‘ he said on the Today show.
In response, Mitchell shared posts on Instagram written by fans who hit back at Stefanovic.
“It’s a joke.
Just like Trudeau is a joke.
Just like Trudeau’s election cops are a joke.”
He would be talking about Victoria.
Australians should declare war on the Canadian communists
Porter – Elderly people seemingly don’t concern many bureaucrats.
If the virus gets into the nursing homes it’s very rough going. Those folk have enough trouble fighting off a cold or gastric upset or a wound that won’t heal, let alone a flu virus.
The language used by the doctor was quite chilling.
Black [email protected], I saw something similar last night as I was channel-hopping. Insight, I think it was. Guest guy used the same term. (Might be Philip Nitschke?)
Host interviewed an elderly woman who was off overseas for the big sleep. She might have had some condition – early stage Alzheimer’s, perhaps – and she and her family were quite chirpy about it all.
Top fiddy! Yes, my bar isn’t very high.
Candy I heard on the airwaves that a nurse in a Sydney hospital was found to have coronavirus. If so, buckle up.
Black Ball – every doctor I have heard who has been involved with euthanasia( in other words state-sanctioned murder) sends shivers up my spine. Doctors train for years to care and to cure and so for someone to so easily flick the switch to kill shows a fundamental flaw in their character and that’s certainly one doctor I don’t want me to near me or anyone in my family.
When the first lots of Victorian stats were released the other day it turned out one doctor had already been involved with 13 cases and he lists palliative care as one of his specialities. No doctor, you kill people.
Worse, they use a drug that is often used in palliative care to ill patients and this has already lead to blatant confusion and it will result in wrongful death no doubt about it.
The most sicko thing of all was the Victorian health minister (?) was on radio saying that they were ‘heartened’ – that’s the word she used “heartened”- that the number of people who were killed by euthanasia in Victoria with higher than they were expecting. Not even Mengele was that overjoyed. These are our politicians rejoicing at the state sponsored murder of citizens.
Good Moaning.
Make sure there are no ants on the grass you are sliding your arse along.

Aerodynamic shape is also important.
Roosters managed to go back to back with Latrell.
Now his head has got so big he will be a distraction at his new club.
Win win win for the Roosters.
I’m betting the referendum will succeed – there will be a long and sickeningly cloying campaign harping on all the injustices ever done, and asking present day Australians to atone for all those injustices by voting “yes.”
anyone tried the pressure cleaner?
The other week was the anniversary of the loss of the Brig Maria off the Queensland coast.
Twenty-one drowned, 14 were killed by local indigenous personnel from tribe A,
the survivors fortunately hooked up with local indigenous personnel from tribe B.
Tribe A and tribe B clearly didn’t share the same views.
A Sydney aged care worker has tested positive to coronvirus. Ethnicity not reported.
In America insurance companies send you letters saying they’re not paying for your treatment anymore if euthanasia is an option in your state. Palliative care is virtually non-existent in the Netherlands and Belgium which had euthanasia for a long time and in Belgium in particular politicians were so upset about the low uptake for euthanasia that they started looking at ways to either advertise it or to extend it and so now they even euthanize children.
Involuntary euthanasia is a real risk to many groups of people: single women, Aboriginals, the disabled who have been abandoned or whose parents and carers have died and are institutionalized and so on.
Yeah – That will Work!
PoliticsNow: Travellers from Iran ‘now required to self-isolate’ over coronavirus fears
Hello and welcome to PoliticsNow, The Australian’s live blog on the happenings at Parliament House in Canberra. As the number of coronavirus cases in Australia grows, Health Minister Greg Hunt has told anyone who arrived in Australia from Iran after February 19 to self-isolate in their own homes.
Aged care facility may be put into lockdown
Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says a woman who has coronavirus in Sydney had worked at an aged care facility and it was possible that facility would need to go into lock down.
Dr Murphy did not know what dates the woman worked at the facility, and said NSW Health would make a full statement at around lunchtime.
“I believe the woman has been involved in working in an aged care facility but I don’t have with me the dates when,” Dr Murphy told Senate estimates.
“Because the Commonwealth has very deep involvement in aged care, our aged care people are working closely with NSW Health this morning to work out what supports they need, what planning will be required to support them.
Global cases could be triple actually reported: CMO
Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says it’s absolutely possible the number of global coronavirus cases is double or triple what’s being reported, meaning the mortality rate could be much lower in some places.
Australian hospitals will also have to cancel most elective surgery if there’s a large outbreak of the virus and the states were considering bringing forward that surgery now while case numbers were low.
GP I knew with a suburban practise confided in me once, that he and many other fellow GPs helped patients they knew well, to die.
As they signed the death certificates an overdose of a sedative was not investigated.

When rafiki jnr was a baby/toddler it fell to me deal with the aftermath of a dirty cloth nappy. Put water in the laundry tub, drop in nappy, leave to soak, stir it about a bit, drain tub, and wash and dry nappy. Could not this technique be employed in lieu of paper rolls? (Should we need to, given that rolls are one product we still manufacture.)
John Ratcliffe’s Interview With Catherine Herridge Has Brennan, Atkinson, and Ciaramella Panicked
He gave an interview to Catherine Herridge, senior investigative correspondent at CBS that must have some members of the coup shaking in their boots. The interview can be watched in this thread, but I have provided the text afterward to make it easier to absorb and contemplate:
Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says a woman who has coronavirus in Sydney had worked at an aged care facility and it was possible that facility would need to go into lock down.
“Possible”?
Be decisive, man!
800 000 aboriginal voices minus the black ones, the ones on communities who are imprisoned there by self declared communist elders , the unconscious ones belted up by the same and the emerging anti radical left like Jacinta Price means the voice of real aboriginal people will be smothered and replaced by the screeching fake radical racists we have always endured, those that believe they can stand in front of us and tell us what people of a certain skin colour think.
I think that’s what may happen Zulu and that will be a crying shame.
Government Tries to Cancel Trial in Key Mueller Case Because the Defendant Isn’t Playing Fair
For all the smokescreen here, let me break it down for you.
The government is trying to con the judge into cancelling the trial on the specious grounds that they aren’t participating (wtf? really? how does that even work). Why? Because this klutz knows there is zero evidence to prove any of the charges in the indictment to a jury who, unlike a DC grand jury, may actually be awake and paying attention. If the judge cancels the trial, then they can claim ‘they wuz robbed’ and continue to push this ridiculous story. If a jury is empaneled, then it is a different ballgame. The prosecutor is not particularly anxious to be known as the guy who lost Mueller’s big case and, quite honestly, there are a lot of Deep Staters in Justice who also have a vested interest in propagating the Mueller hoax and definitely don’t want to see Concord Management acquitted in a trial. And, from what we’ve seen thus far, the evidence is scant and only vaguely circumstantial and the government, itself, has not been very forthcoming in producing information to which the defense is entitled.
What happens next? So far, the judge has been incredibly deferential to the government. This is a case where the judge, a Trump appointee, obviously is bending over backwards in order to acquiesce to every prosecution demand so she can’t be accused of giving Trump a break. Odds are she lets the government avoid the trial and the humiliation that will come with it.
Summed up by Brave Sir Robin
Rafiki you can even just wash your bum and dispense with the cloth. I mean if you’re isolated at home for 14 days it’s not as if you you have anything better to do.

Julie & Julia, as you’ve never seen them before
Alice Workman
Strewth Editor
Imagine! Julia Gillard and Julie Bishop putting aside their political differences to take bloody revenge — with an axe, a sledgehammer and a vial of poison — on the red and blue-tied men who ruined their dreams and banished them to the wilderness.
That’s the plot of Gone Girls, a “drag revenge fantasy” that opened on Tuesday night at the Adelaide Fringe.
Starring Patrick Livesey as Gillard (Australia’s first female prime minister and first female Labor leader) and Annabel Larcombe as Bishop (the first woman to formally stand for the Liberal leadership, the party’s first female deputy leader and Australia’s first female foreign minister), the comedy starts in 1998 when both were first elected to parliament.
Livesey says he was frustrated by the greater hurdles the pair faced because of their ovaries.
“Definitely with Julia Gillard, the only impression people have of her is this almost grotesque version that we were spoonfed when she was prime minister,” Livesey told the Advertiser.
“The big undercurrent is how female power is presented in the media and the way it is pigeonholed, in contrast to male power.”
The show comes with this warning: “Contains strong coarse language, both sudden and sustained loud noises, some infrequent/low pressure audience interaction, potentially triggering content or themes, including staged violence, sexual references, death, murder, simulated blood, use of replica weapons”. Sign us up.
Open up
On that theme, the real Julia has some news: she’s writing a book with economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Published by Penguin, Women in Leadership will feature interviews with female leaders including New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, Hillary Clinton, former British prime minister Theresa May, Chile’s former president Michelle Bachelet, former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Malawi’s former president Joyce Banda, former Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg andEuropean Central Bank president Christine Lagarde.
Each was asked the same questions by Gillard. The responses were then compared with what stats say about women’s access to positions of power, the trajectory of their leadership and the circumstance in which it ended (if it has).
Research released last week by the Australian National University found the treatment of female PMs was getting worse. Gillard hopes the book will act as “an action agenda for change that allows women to take control and combat gender bias”. It hits shelves on July 12, with a recommended price of $34.99.
I’m not advocating violence but this kunt should be shot.
Does anyone know the name of this fool?
I’m experimenting to see if I can construct an alternative with the leaf blower .
President Trump to Nominate Gen. Charles Brown Jr. as First Black Military Service Chief
Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced in a statement:
Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. has been nominated for appointment to the rank of general, with assignment as chief of staff, U.S. Air Force, Pentagon, Washington, District of Columbia. Brown is currently serving as commander, Pacific Air Forces; air component commander for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; and executive director, Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
Ray Hadley trying to understand why Australians are panic buying.
I would guess this is because Australians realise we don’t make anything anymore. When all your goods are imported you have to trust that supply will be reliable, and right now people are getting the idea that supply will be interrupted.
The second reason is Australians know the Chinese community have a history of emptying supermarket shelves.
I’m experimenting to see if I can construct an alternative with the leaf blower .
Be sure to position the switch on blow and not vacuum, rambler.
Why are people stripping the shelves of date paper?
The second reason is Australians know the Chinese community have a history of emptying supermarket shelves.
And the third would be that yesterday our esteemed gummint announced it may have to close shopping centres with no explanation as to how groceries would thereafter be accessed.
Exclusive – DHS Chief: More Than 700 Miles of Border Wall Already Built or On the Way
In an interview for Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, Wolf detailed how the new border wall that President Trump promised during his campaign is split into three different categories: wall that is already built, wall that is under construction, and wall that is on the way. The total number of miles along the U.S. border with Mexico that this new wall Wolf discussed will end up covering once complete is more than 700 miles.
Really? I missed that one.
Steve Trickler:
I repeat the point I have made on numerous occasions – “The Police are no longer impartial. They have decided whose side they are on, and it isn’t ours.” or, “It’s a Big Club, and you aren’t in it.”
This is horrifying on both a personal and society wide basis.
And it is happening in the longest running democracy in the world.
Did anyone get a photo of the three men?
Were they identified?
Provocateurs?
Was Tommy the real target, and the molestation of his daughter part of the setup, to deliver him in a frame of mind that would allow an arrest?
I note Tommy is on bail so he can be chucked in gaol whenever he appears to breach the bail conditions – which this appears to have been set up to achieve.
Given up on the leaf blower.
Now experimenting with the orbital sander.
We’re basically looking into the past, so how many patients the nurse attended in the last 2-4 weeks? Buckle up indeed.
Ok, so how much did this cost and what colour are they now ? If not white then grey seems to be most popular car colour now.
“Senior MP personally intervened to change the colour of comcars, to reflect a ‘modern, forward-thinking Australia’.”
Which would be? Diarrhoea brown, communist red or watermelon green (also red).

(Should we need to, given that rolls are one product we still manufacture.)
From my reading of medieval crime stories, a sponge on a stick, single person use, and then washed, was common. Wettex and boiling water? Should last for a goodly number of uses.
Or we could each collect three rounded stones, hose after use?
I’m thinking selfie stick and sponge.
Forget about the belt sander, and orbital would be over the top.
Wet or Dry, 120 grit.
Carry your own, wash after use.
Sanders getting crushed by the establishment pile on.
Bernie Bros going to smash some shit up.
Bloody snap.
It’s good to know I have the inventiveness of the medieval.

White comcars ‘reflect our colonial past’
Senior MP personally intervened to change the colour of comcars, to reflect a ‘modern, forward-thinking Australia’.”
Cormann…part of the LNP Labor lite muck…the same LNP Labor lite muck who last week ganged up in the senate…with both Labor and the Greens…to censure an Australian citizen.
Recent years have seen party leaders and PMs being deposed due to climate change policy.
The next leadership spill could be over bog roll.
IIRC, ComCars went from black to white for ‘vionmental reasons, less need for aircon in summer.
Given the qualities displayed by our polliemuppets, perhaps yellow?
Footnote. I have known many Chinese people. Many were brown, quite a lot had nearly white skin, none would I have described as being coloured yellow, so take that as a reference to the polliemuppets’ complete lack of moral (or physical) courage.
The movement to reclaim the reputation of medieval people has a lot more going for it that the ‘deadly’ media movement to suck-up to the First Nations intellectual powerhouses and moral exemplars.

DJT GOAT.
‘Senior MP personally intervened to change the colour of comcars, to reflect a ‘modern, forward-thinking Australia’.
The Oz – paywall protected – confirms Monty’s report that it was Cormann – FMD!!
The new colour is to be grey. I assume present vehicles won’t be retro-painted.
I would have been surprised if it were a Labor person, at least one with any memory, ‘cos it was St Gough who insisted that Comcars – previously black – should be painted white.
When I was a junior APS employee back in the seventies, Comcars were used not only by MPs and VIPs but by ordinary public servants needing to get around Canberra on business. It was always interesting to see some CA2 tasked with delivering a paper from one agency to another being chauffeured there in a Comcar LTD.
Apart from the odd security reason, the requirement now for retaining a fleet of Comcars escapes me.

Seriously? He said that? FMD. I remember seeing footage of Trumble being whisked off in a ComCar Beamer- chunder worthy. Symbolic of our decline as a manufacturing nation. Very tin pot third word really.
From the Oz. I’ve always owned white cars because the air conditioning is more effective, and they are more visible on the roads. I didn’t realize that made me a symbol of Australia’s shameful, colonial past.
Even on the floor of the Commonwealth bank collecting the dole.
she and her family were quite chirpy about it all.
The bigger the inheritance, the louder the chirpiness.

Seriously ?!
“The minister continued: “I think that … that the white colour, in my mind, reflects a bit of a colonial past that we’ve moved on from”.
I am no expert on car colours but the trend on road is definitely grey or white. However to use “colonial past” as a reason is just laughable. Classic case of being offended by nothing.
We are so screwed as a country when politicians think like that.
Lest we forget the new mega buck coffee hutch in Parliament House built at the cost of a house. Hey it’s only money and it must grown on a magic tree in Canberra.
I still fail to understand the issue of DNA testing and claims of racial profiling
cf Marcia Langton
Mark Latham proposed DNA testing for all Aboriginal people, even though this is not possible given the state of the science. Hysteria over High Court’s ruling is hateful and wrong

Machado-Joseph Disease- autosomal dominant disease specific to Groote Eylandt aboriginal people and now found in populations south of Arnhemland
Kidney Transplants (either live or dead donors)
eg Not all doctors agree my patient deserved his kidney transplant. They’re wrong
and so on
Control by the Indigenous- identifying comes at the cost of serious research and substantial human benefit for people suffering such terrible diseases. Many a good scientific researcher has been denied grants. Preferred supplier is the prime criteria for such racially-based research.

No Fixed Address….Happy to have you on board as a Franchise holder for “”Flying Fox Toilet” paper! The product is environmentally friendly, produces only modest amounts of C02, is fun for the whole family to use and is, of course, biodegradable.
The basic concept is to use free range Fruit Bats, as a replacement for toilet paper. After the furry beast is used to “shine up the date” it is given a quick rinse, a couple of grapes or other fruit, and it will fly off to a nearby tree and dry in the sun. Knuckle Dragger failed to grasp the concept, and spoke about cooking and eating the beast. Clearly he is not much of a lateral thinker, such as yourself.
World health officials said Tuesday the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 3.4% globally, higher than previous estimates of about 2%.
And you can add a few points to that figure, given the likely under reporting from China & Iran & the yet to be closed cases.

That is something like 4% of the population.
Wasn’t there supposed to be some genocide?
Lucky Marcia won’t allow people to question their culture and resolve (are you allowed to question one but not the other?) because a cultural question might hinge upon the prominent laydeez leadership while traditional culture had, I think, a rather different attitude to the value and use of women.
Fascinating, ain’t it, how so many who fled Iran for fear of the lives and obtained residency here don’t think twice about nipping back for a nice holiday?

It was always interesting to see some CA2 tasked with delivering a paper from one agency to another being chauffeured there in a Comcar LTD.
True .. back in the 1960s as a Fed clerk (Dept. of Air) I used Comcars several times a week to deliver pay (cash in those days) and paperwork ( + do my shopping & always a club lunch LOL!)) around the Sydney suburbs to various out-sourced offices .. back then the gummint Comcars were also supplemented by, contracted, hire cars because of demand .. Ford Fairlanes were very popular!
On pay days I, actually, carried a loaded gun, as well .. LOL!
‘And it’s not just Canberra; there’s a fleet in each capital city.”
All MPs are also entitled to a private plated car for their personal use, and the use of their families, as part of their ‘remuneration package’. The cars have, for all practical purposes, unlimited taxpayer-funded fuel an servicing.
They are also entitled to free car parking for these vehicles.
Another reason why Comcars are mostly redundant, but I guess some MPs prefer to leave the private-plated car for the wifey and the kids.
I was once upstaged while playing a quiet dinner set in Alice.
Some may know of the old “Scotties”.
Well it had changed hands and I was set up next to the window looking out onto the mall, to play quietly during dinner.
Suddenly the punters all looked toward me and started pointing.
But they were not looking at me but to one of the “locals’ who had decided backing one out on the park bench in the mall outside was far more comfortable than squatting.
WHO is lying. The death rate is 6%. And that’s assuming there are no fatal relapses among victims assessed to be recovered.

Ditto the South Sudanese, Congolese, Burundians, etc., the only difference being they were resettled here via UNHCR and our generous refugee program.
Bring back TPVs or similar.
Whenever the topic of getting out of the UN is raised, there’s always someone who says that the UN is not all bad. What about the WHO? Just shut up FFS.
Iran is not the attraction. They want to experience flying into Australia.
Aref:
They’ve self selected for internment if the need so arises.

I always thought white was the best colour for safety and staying cooler. Can’t say I ever thought that there was a racial dimension to a car colour.
So what are some of the big concerns out there in the real Australia? I’d say the state of the electricity supply, the cost of housing, confiscatory taxation and urban congestion to name four (all the result of political action from Canberra). But the imagined symbolism of car colour is what exercises a senior government senator’s mind. Shades of Caligula or Marie Antoinette.
Even worse.
Belgium is not a country, it’s the NZ of Europe, no wonder he resents ours.
The stats will be all over the palce.
In Italy where tree average age is 97 and a baby hasn’t been burn since WWII, expect it to wipe out half the nation.
In place like West Africa where the average age is 12, it will barely create a ripple.
This is a virus designed to punish Boomers and the lack of fecundity.

Any “refugee “who goe back for a holiday should not be allowed back in here ,they obviously lied to get refugee status ,lying should not be rewarded . Even ifthe regime in their country of origin has changed that means its safe for them to returnand stay there so they areno longer refugees.
The only genuine refugees in Australia would be from Papua New Guinea or New Zealand they domt pass through a third country to get here
Snoopy – it seems very age dependent.
Coronavirus patients over age 80 have a 15% chance of dying. Here’s the mortality rate for every age bracket. (28 Feb)
It’s Chinese data but the graph is still interesting. I’ve seen other data which says a slightly higher rate for adults under 40 (0.9% vs 0.2%) but the essence seems to be the older you are the higher the chance of carking it.
PS south African Whites fleeing here are also genuine refugees thereis nothing between SAfrica and WA
I suspect Cormann’s “colonial past” remark is coloured more by Belgium’s history than ours.
Still stupid, though.

Don’t those thumbnail CV’s kind of show that they were not being kept from advancement?
Gillard was just a crappy PM who tried to blame her serial missteps on men in general and the mild-mannered Tony Abbott in particular. Bishop was pointless. She was probably promoted above her ability because she had lady-parts, an advantage which naturally would not obtain in the case of her male colleagues. She had one moment of glory when Abbott was PM, when he left she suddenly went as floppy as a puppet with the hand removed. The constant in her success was not her.

So is the disability sector — it would appear the R/G/R government made an agreement with an outfit called Settlement Services International and in turn with disability service providers to give employment to newly arrived people (there were some 50,000 of those during the R/G/R debacle) and disability and aged-care were the most promising sectors to provide employment, given the very scant requirement with respect to training.

I’m currently reading Nevil Shute’s On the Beach. As most Cats will known, in the aftermath of a nuclear war which has killed everyone north of the equator, the human remnant lingers on in southern Australia, waiting for death. One interesting detail is that cars are almost extinct as all Australia’s fuel was imported and has quickly run out. Elsewhere, Shute’s characters give thanks for brown coal (!) as it’s the only thing providing electricity. Presumably they’re still making toilet paper.

Winston, the story in the OZ was quite clear there was no self quarantine during the 14 day stay in another country, nor was there any requirement to do so by Mr Dutton. The students just treated it (bar one safety conscious fellow) as a holiday, with free mingling, beaches, bars and party time.
All immigration was interested in was a 14 day gap between China and Oz.
Exactly.

They’re onto it and understand completely (Mum used to work in a nursing home). Prescriptions all up to date, pantry full of nutritious stuff, all good to go.
And plenty of bogroll. 😁
So I bought a white Ford Territory in 2013. Now Cormann suggests it’s time to move away from the colonialist past. This has triggered me. Where’s my money? 😂

And no casual sex with strangers.
Either of them. Give them a stern look on this point.
Calling Cormann asinine is an insult to asses.
WT hell is he talking about, Willis?
Yeah, I thought of that but doubt it would pass roadworthy check as it removes a safety device – even if said ‘safety device’ has FRONT TOWARD ENEMY written on it.

The rest of us are at the mercy of the supply chain.
I pray it won’t be so, but so many angles of this drama – our large Chinese population, the timing going into autumn and winter, nursing homes staffed by third worlders (not their fault – ours), the government’s obvious lack of preparedness hidden behind glib talk of “innovating solutions” – suggest that as a country our luck may be about to run out.
It’s herd stuff, C.L.
My children shop like normal people – if they need it they buy it. When it runs out.
Now they are faced with artificial shortages because a certain demographic from a low-trust, high-fear background is stripping the shelves because they can.
So, here am I, forced to buy bogroll here for them. As I said earlier, I’m sending care packages to my kids and their young families. Hopefully, it might give them pause to think about waste and want. There’s always an upside to these things.
C.L. – Social media probably reported all toilet paper is imported from Red China. So no more toilet paper for months. Same logic as voters electing leftists expecting a different result.
People think they can use it to barter.
There was a list doing the rounds a few years ago and TP was number one after people stop accepting money.
