A lot of smoke blowing going on this morning.

Scene: Andrews’ office, Collins St

Dan: this is awful, the people are already a wake up to us, barging into funerals, silly fines, the whole Pell thing, as well as that fat lawyer.

PR: perhaps we can have hug a police person day ?

Dan: nah, we’ve already told them they can’t hug the grand kids

PR: ok, we have heroes, brave foot soldiers, I see a shrine, pipe bands, sack cloth, sombre music, hymns.

Cats, from Rupert’s best opinion page at the Gold Coast Bully – Viv Forbes of The Saltbush Club followed by yours truly….

Shift in focus and priorities needed in post-virus world
WASHPOOL
VIV FORBES

NATIONAL Cabinet will soon find that Australia-after-corona can’t afford a bloated public service, an overmanned and overpaid academia, throngs of ablebodied people on long-term welfare, too many tax-exempt foundations, endless donations to worthless UN fiefdoms and a huge import bill to pay for all the things we once made here.

Nor can we afford all the resources being wasted on dysfunctional submarines designed in Canberra, power systems mandated by the UN, Snowy 2 green elephants, climate alarmism, emissions targets and green energy mollycoddling.

We must rebuild economic muscle, not flab. Start with a couple of clean, modern reliable coalfired power stations.

This cheap, reliable electricity may restart some defunct processing and manufacturing industries. Then build our submarines as they were designed – nuclear powered.

Already there are no surpluses to spend on subsidising every struggling consumer and failing business. And a tidal wave of borrow-and-spend will just destroy the currency.

As in post-war Germany, recovery can only come if governments slash taxes, repeal useless red tape, remove all barriers to new dams, railways, roads, power stations, mines and exploration, and encourage science and engineering education. They must bulldoze the road blocks and then keep out of the way.

Since the days of the First Fleet, Australia has relied on our great primary industries – farming, mining, forestry and fishing. The pioneers started exporting wool, hides, tallow and timber; then came the gold rushes and great finds of silver, copper, leadzinc and tin; our meat, cereals, sugar, butter and eggs fed allied soldiers through two world wars; and a bonanza of coal, oil, gas, iron and aluminium financed the Baby Boomers and the extravagant politicians of that era.

When mining had a recession, farmers came to the rescue and vice versa. They also helped finance a continent of roads, railways, power stations, and dams and provided productive jobs for a growing population and a flood of migrants.

If they were not so hampered by taxes, regulations and employment barriers, our farmers, foresters, fishers, engineers, explorers, miners, metallurgists, tradesmen and workers could pull us out of this hole too. They could even rebuild some of the great secondary industries lost because of our uncompetitive electricity and overheads.

HERE are a list of factors that increase your chance of death from COVID-19.
• High population density – cruise ships, CBD high-rises, slums.
• High public transport use – frequent flyers, inner-city commuters, low-income people.
• Prolonged crowd exposure – sports stadiums, conferences, concerts.
• Travel to COVID-19 hot spots – especially China, New York, northern Italy.
• Cultural hygiene practices – not handwashing, acceptance of spitting, sneezing without catching.
• Cultural food practices – wet markets, eating undercooked bats.
• Ineffective treatment options – inadequate health sector, poverty.
• Co-morbidities – advanced age, existing respiratory illness, obesity, heart disease.
• Environmental – sunlight-blocking pollution (vitamin D), airborne particles.
• Genomic – High prevalence of ACE2 receptors (common in Chinese people).
If you don’t tick any of these boxes you don’t need to be in “lockdown”, (not that you really are as you can still go to the shops).
That’s why “one size fits all” solutions are always bad for everyone. End this panicdemic now and sack all the alarmist doctors.

Extraordinary footage has emerged of a speeding black Porsche 911 with what it appears to be the same registration plate as the vehicle at the centre of investigations into the Melbourne freeway tragedy that claimed four police lives.

A Porsche 911 was crushed on Wednesday night by the truck that killed the four police, with the car driver fleeing the scene.

The crushed car carried the number plate LLC-001. The letters QLD run vertically down the side of the plate.

The initial detention of the vehicle and Porsche driver on Wednesday night set off a chain of events leading to the truck hitting and killing four police on Melbourne’s Eastern Freeway.

A Melbourne man has posted footage on social media of a black Porsche carrying LLC 001 number plate speeding recklessly down Melbourne’s Eastern Fwy in March, near where the accident occurred.

The man who posted the video dash cam footage was travelling at 90km/h and was left almost at a standstill as the black Porsche roared past last month.

The man lamented on Facebook: “I reported this vehicle to the police a few weeks ago and gave them a copy of my dash cam video footage, but unfortunately it appears that this driver continued to drive on our roads.’’

The four Victoria Police officers were killed after the semi-trailer collided with several cars including the Porsche. Police said they were involved in an operation to interview the driver of the Porsche 911 and had pulled the speeding car over in an emergency lane on the Eastern Freeway near Chandler Highway.

It is believed the refrigerated truck ploughed into the officers as they stood in the emergency lane.

The semi-trailer allegedly slammed into the back of several vehicles, with the Porsche becoming trapped under the front of the semi-trailer.

The Porsche driver fled the scene after miraculously surviving the crash, possibly because he was outside the car at the time it was hit, and a manhunt was under way on Wednesday night. But Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the man had contacted police overnight and was expected to present himself to police on Thursday.

The truck driver, who is believed to have suffered a medical episode, was under police guard in hospital. It is not clear whether the episode came before or after the crash.

Porsche driver situation seems a bit sus. Reportedly an extensive criminal record, cops have had dash cam footage of the same car speeding, in the same location, for at least a month. Lots of traffic cameras on that stretch for scoping people on mobile phones if they’d needed to positively identify the driver at that time. Seems odd this guy was still on the road, reckless and feeling untouchable – meth head or police informant?

Exactly.
The amount of time spent chasing down people for minor shit which isn’t technically a crime is mind-boggling.
Maybe haul some of the battalion of chicky-babes out of Pleece Meeja and give them something mildly useful to do:-

“This bloke caught this moron on dash-cam at point X on the freeway at 3:36 on the 15th.
Look at the CCTV for all the exits between A and B between 3:36 and 3:50.
When you find which exit he left at we will get more CCTV from the exit roads.”

It is not a Toyota Camry.
It is a 911.

The new force – to be known as “Northforce” – will combine army, navy and air force units, with an unprecedented degree of cooperation designed to enable an integrated and swift response to any security challenges Australia might face in the medium term.

Northforce will be based in already established facilities in Texas & Louisiana.

Washington (AFP) – A woman’s life was likely saved by her silicone breast implants after she was shot in the chest at close range while walking down a street in Toronto, doctors have said.

The 30-year-old’s left breast implant deflected the bullet away from her vital organs into the other breast, according to a case study published last week in the SAGE medical journal.

Even after those cases are added, Florida -the US State traditionally known for it’s elderly population- still has a “deaths per million” rate of more than five times – that’s 5 times- better than the average of the worst 11 US states. And those worst 11? Every single one of them run by Democrats.

The other night, the excrement from Toowoomba posted a lengthy screed (as he does frequently) about the anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing atrocity. As he likes to do…the piece of filth liked to snidely infer that most of us here supported that atrocity in Oklahoma twenty-five years ago.

Anyway….a few days ago was the one year anniversary of the Sri Lanka Muesli massacres of mostly Christians….in churches…does anyone recall the piece of excrement from Toowoomba posting a screed about the anniversary of those atrocities and condemning them?

“Did you see our grandson run past in the background – twice – followed by the dog?”

Yes Cardi! It was a beautiful scene.

Have we seen a photo or name of the Porsche driver yet?

No.

Jesus. You can’t possibly be that stupid, Bob. No one could possibly be that stupid. Surely even you realise that the issue I’m presenting is the criminal negligence that Democrat governors and legislatures have with respect to the health systems that they are meant to be responsible for? Surely there’s some tiny part of your very tiny brain that is aware that the point here is the very clear correlation between Democrat mis-management and people dying.
That’s right, Bob. Democrat leaders of those worst 11 US states have presided over more deaths in less than three months from this than 60% of the entirety of US casualties in the whole of the Vietnam War. But it’s worse than that. That 37,600 deaths in 3 months (12,533 per month)? That’s more than the deaths per month in WW2(9311). By a lot. That’s right, Bob. Democrats and Democrat policies in the US are literally worse for US people than Hitler and Stalin combined.
And it gets even worse. Since the US was kept (relatively) out of WW1, the next point of comparison was the American Civil War. In no war in history have more Americans died. From 12 April 1861 to 9 April 1865, 620,000 Americans died: 12916 per month.
“Phew”, you say… because you’re an idealogical idiot who doesn’t care if people die because of people and policies he supports. But if you do, you’ll have missed something. You’ll have missed that I fudged the length of time over which Americans have died from Coronavirus. Because it’s not over 3 months. It was from March 16. And the number I used for total deaths? Deflated by more than the total number of people who died in the US from March 16 to March 21.
So the real number who died on their watch? 37,600 per month. Almost three times the number of deaths per month than the worst conflict in US history. The Democrats are worse than Hitler, Stalin and slavery combined.
You have my unending contempt.

1. We charged Cardinal Pell on the say so of one person, that’s right, there were no witnesses who can corroborate the charge.

2. We didn’t charge the meth head roaring up and down the freeway despite our own cameras, dash cams and numerous complaints to us owing to a lack of evidence.

I’ll be interested to know the driver’s, um, cultural background.

So the experts the left appeal to are being ridden roughshod by bureaucrats, who are completely leftist.

In other words, they’re lying. They’re calling people murderers under the pretext of these decisions being made by medical experts when it is in fact being made by professional sociopaths pretending to be medical experts.

A few days ago I wrote in a post that the govt doesn’t seem to have any way out of this pandemic lockdown strategy, apart from the introduction of the tracking app. Currently, we are being told, that if the public accepts this intrusion into our private lives and activities and continues our social distancing and isolation, the country could move to a cessation of the lockdown.

It now seems to me that we’re all watching a variation of the movie, Eye in the Sky.

If you’ve not seen the film, it’s a depiction of the use of new technology, especially of the remote controlled variety, to mount a pre-emptive strike against an Islaaa-mick suicide-bomber terrorist cell in Nairobi that is about to kill hundreds of people but somewhere unknown.

Almost all of the film is contained mainly inside four sites: the terrorist’s safe house, a street market adjacent to the safe house centred on a young child (girl) who is selling from a small table at the side of the road her mother’s homemade bread, a British government conference room in which the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff (Alan Rickman) is in discussion with a number of government ministers – the Secretary for Defence, the Attorney General and the Parliamentary Under-secretary for Africa – and who is liaising with a British Army Colonel (Helen Mirren) at a British military site, who herself is overseeing a multinational team that has been originally engaged in capturing the three highest-level leaders of this terrorist group.

The strategy and tactics change when the optical surveillance reveals the suicide bombing mission that is about to commence. Wanting to release a hell-fire missile to kill the cell before the terrorists can depart on their operation, the multi-national team realise that in the killing of the terrorists the young Kenyan girl who is adjacent to the safe-house may be also killed.

The remainder of the film explores the concept of collateral damage and how political and military wings of democratic nation states attempt to determine the value of life at the same time as seeking to tactically respond to a clear and present danger directed toward a large number of unknown, innocent people.

Without giving anything else away, if anyone wants to check this film out, the decision-making inside the government conference room suggests a correlation with what is happening in the decision-making process of our political masters because of the China Pestilence.

Thus, in trying to save every single Australian life from this disease (symbolised by the little girl) , our political and public servant class can not see, or their gaze is being averted from, the many, many other Australians who financially and/or mentally may not survive if this lockdown continues much longer (the potential hundreds of victims from the suicide bombers).

Throughout the film my frustration grew and grew because of the political paralysis evident by the ongoing discussions taking place between myriad players, including the Foreign Secretary who is at distance from the political team, as well as US Government officials, to determine whether the operation has a legal basis on which to proceed. Suffice it to say, that everyone of the government ministers seemed to understand the great danger to a great number of innocent people but not one of these ministers wants to be the person who decides the course of action because of the possibility that the operation may cause the death of the little girl.

And because it seems to me that no one in the Government’s Covid-19 decision-making group can accept that the lockdown should end, because of the risk that the public and the media may perhaps think that the political-public expert class has over-reacted due to the very low numbers of cases – we have” flattened the curve!” ffs; Australians are now at risk from a bigger and more deadly attack – the attack on livelihoods and the resulting national and individual penury – because of the delay in their decision-making.

Hence we now need another safeguard before those in charge can relieve themselves of the collateral damage of, perhaps, of some additional people contracting the disease, and this requirement that there be no collateral damage – no deaths or illness – is taking precedence over the clear and present danger if the lockdown is extended any longer.
