Liberty Quote
- Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.

The @nypost story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews. In that sense, it serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons. I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered. That study is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32664879/

How interesting. Having been attacked by a group of dogs, one stick isn’t going to do much unless you know about dogs. You can get what I mean by watching wild dogs in Africa attack their prey. The jogger on Frazer was attacked by 4 dingoes. Good luck with a stick!

considered giving the visitors Kung Fu lessons?
Note the two dogs run when he bends down. That’s because they have experienced stones being thrown at them. I was almost attacked by pack in the back streets of Bombay – you have to see it to believe it – and they stopped when I picked up a stone and aimed at the obvious leader. If they want the dingoes to be afraid of sticks, shoot a few every couple of months and then they will think the stick is a gun. That would work.

With a Labor state government there is more chance of them asking visitors to identify as dogs.

Laughable headlines, QLd edition
Damning judgement: Abused teen better off with violent relative than in Qld resi-care. A 14-year-old boy will be returned to the care of a relative who was allegedly violent and raised him in “drinking houses”, because a Magistrate found it to be a better option than residential care.
Campers fend off prowling dingoes ‘every 10 mins’ in night from hell. K’gari campers including children spent the night constantly fending off dingoes just metres from where a young woman was viciously mauled hours earlier.

Veryu stupidly I watched Jason Clare at the Nat Press Club, he’s edumacation minister or something. He’s asked his top men to come up with a new plan. Basically, a childcare centre “it’s not babbysitting it’s early edumacation” in every poor part of town. “Free”. Lots more support to keep poor kids in school. If and when they fail they’ll have guaranteed uni places (he didn’t say in what but there aren’t enough humanities courses). 1350 uni students dropped out last year after failing more than half their subjects/semesters. No more! They can stay on with “more support”, presumably til they’re 90). There’s to be an “upgrade” of HECS which sounded like the debt would never have to be repaid (step up taxpayers) and an extension of Abstudy (taxpayer pays) to include disabled and diverse. 200 new university “hubs” in the next 2 years and even overseas uni “hubs”. Did you know India already has 2 so if overseas students can’t afford to come and live here they can stay at home, get their not at all dodgy degree and pick up citizenship at the same time.
A word on the journalists. Ugly, scruffy, nodding lefties with astonishingly bad haircuts. Clare asked them who had been to uni, most hands raised. “How may of you regretted it?” No hands raised.
I have seen the future and it’s PhDs in every direction with fake qualifications, non-jobs and expertise telling us how bad we are on The Drum.

ACMA Disinformation Bill 2023
(Submission deadline: 8 August)
The snowflakes will be rushing in to support the bill and we need to counter it. It is more important to have a number of people who are responding because they are against such a bill.
I have provided links in this thread to the relevant sections on the bill. There is an Exposure Draft of the bill (64 pages). If you do not have the time to read the document, try and make the time for a response.
On the government website, we are told:
We have the choice to complain about losing free speech and our freedoms. When it is gone, we won’t even have the option to complain. So if you want to do your part, here is your chance to do so.

Here is a quick way to help you respond if you do not have a great deal of time to read through the website and the Exposure Draft document.
There are two ways of sending your submission.
a/ Via the link on the website through a Have your Say button. This is the page (scroll down) with the green button (Have your say).
You need to provide contact details but you can choose that your submission is anonymous and so the published submission will not include your details.
Although it sounds tedious, it is easy enough to complete the required details online and then add your comments in the box. I don’t think it is necessary to add any files if you don’t have them.
b/ The other option is by sending your feedback in an email.
Email your submission to:

What have you been up to, Bananaby?

I am dumping here a number of points. You can pick a few for your submission and embellish them with some details and examples.
Reasons for opposing the bill
I am against this Disinformation Bill because:
– Posters on online platforms should be free to write their opinions about matters that concern them regarding the economy, politics, world events.
– Those who are readers on these platforms should not believe everything they read, unless it is from a source they trust. It is up to the reader to decide what is real information and what may just be the poster’s impressions.
– We live in a democracy so we should be able to speak without censorship.
– Who decides what is truth and what is untruth?
– Why should we be afraid to share our views on any topic?
– It will censor unpopular opinions
– There needs to be a transparency in how this will be done
– Is Australia really a democracy if people cannot speak freely?
– It will cause limitations on free speech
– What is the justification for such a bill?
– The government and Main Stream Media will be exempt. This means that some citizens of this country are allowed to have a right to free speech and the majority of Australians are not allowed to speak freely. How can there be different freedom rights for people in the same country?
– Australia is a democracy and yet people living in the country have their rights to free speech being suppressed.
– This misinformation bill will affect the freedom of people to practise their religious beliefs.
– It suppresses the legitimately held views of Australians.
– This bill has been described as dangerous by lawyers, politicians, and other professionals.
– It is Orwellian and can cause harm.
– People who hold views in good faith without intending to mislead anyone can be falsely accused of doing so.
– It will make people afraid to say anything for fear that they are breaking some law and will be penalised.
…
Examples
It would be useful to add some examples, like:
1/
One person may be using solar panels and in their estimate believe that solar panels are good and save money on power bills.
Another person may have found that solar panels are expensive and they increase the cost in power bills.
Who is going to decide which person is providing information and which one is disinformation or misinformation?
2/
Some people may be of the opinion that the Prime Minister is doing a good job of running the country.
Others may not agree with this.
Are people allowed to have their opinions?
3/
If someone posts some information online that is misinformation or disinformation, then others should use the platform to provide the correct details. That way there is no need for ACMA to be deciding whether something that has been posted online is mis/dis information.
…………………………
Add any other suggestions and examples to help with the submissions.

I have watched video clips and segments of interviews with Andrew Tate and found that he makes sensible and intelligent points. I did not watch the entire video of his interview with Tucker, except a small clip which again made points relevant to the western society and the immigrants (a certain kind) who have been coming in and ruining it.
So is he trolling in this post or is he serious?
Why has he been critical of the immigrants coming in? They are of his religious affiliation. And his treatment of women would fit in with his beliefs.

So corrections failed to see the risk, the violence councilling was a waste of time, the drug and alcohol councillor failed to see any risk, they send him to work in a bracelet- failing to keep the workers safe. The judge who ordered home D failed to keep people safe. The gun laws failed to keep people safe. Looks like the police are the only ones doing their jobs here.
I’d suggest take half the money spent on social services and give it to the police.
So this government doesn’t won’t prison rate to raise so violent afrienders are put on home D,
So with ones like these don’t have gun licences where do they get a guns?
That’s right our country’s criminals and under ground.
Not like our good law abiding citizens have a licence and everything locked away.
Guns are not the problem it’s the person behind the gun.
My heart goes out to the families who has lost a loved one today. No matter what happens. We need to look into why a volient convicted person was allowed home D.
Is this a way this government is keeping prison rates down and percentage of what race you are down.
The Judge, Lawyer and whoever wrote the report saying this guy wasn’t a threat have now got blood on their hands.
How come a criminal allowed to have a shotgun after having severe criminal charges? If the gun doesn’t belong to shooter then who’s gun was it? Who gave it to him? It clearly states in news the shooter doesn’t have a firearm license.
