    Matthew Wood
    1 hour ago (edited)
    @chisel83 – he had a medical exception granted (and verified) by 2 independent medical panels, who didn’t even know the details of who they were granting the exception to. And by the way, pretty much all international tennis players have the ATP/WTA and local Tennis Associations (relevant to the country of the tournament) manage their Visa applications/documents. This is nothing more than a BS political stunt due to all of the hypocritical keyboard warriors whinging about him getting an exception, whilst they all caved in to the constant coercion and propaganda and got vaccinated. The irony is, with number of supposedly positive “cases” now, the vast majority of them are vaccinated. So Novak having an exception is actually completely irrelevant anyway 🙄

    Please scroll past. You’ll never know the agonies of the past half hour putting this post together. Upthread I “recommended” watching Jane Caro on yet another paid ABC gig letting us know, yet again, how inferior we are
    So this is a summary
    Interviewer: Jane Caro.
    First guests: lezzers. Second: mussies. Third: Hari Krishnas. Fourth: Elderly couple, she quite frail. Fifth: dirty hippies, now mature age.
    Hari Krishnas found they couldn’t cook, opened a restaurant, eat there every night, they seem to eat only humus. Doing their best to justify no sex due to Krishna principles “but the love and affection is much deeper”. Fuck that.
    Oldies – traditional roles but he a pro chef so he’s got the kitchen. Less sex as they age!!! Flabbergasted. What a traditional marriage is, deep affection 50 years later.
    Mussies – she traditional mussie, he convert. She’s the boss. Sex when he’s been a good mussie.
    Hippies – kids came along and made them grow up. Kids being kids labelled as “problem behaviour”. Anti-smackers. Lots of sex despite him burping and farting. Inference of lots of variety. Doesn’t bear thinking about.
    Lezzers: 2 kids, used to have 4! Not sure where 2 went. Best parents ever. This is how all kids should be raised. Too tired to have sex.

    And that was it. Apparently it’s a series. I like you lot but there’s no way I’m sitting through another episode to say “standard ABC bias and fare”.
    On a good note, Caro looking quite warty. Turning into a witch?

    Stew Peters Show:

    Dr. Malone is the man who started our great vaccine war. Three decades ago his work was critical to the creation of modern mRNA vaccines. Today, he’s possibly the single-most influential voice criticizing the forced use of the vaccines he helped invent. Malone went onto Joe Rogan’s show. He asked a very relevant question: “If I’m not qualified to talk about this, then who is?” But you know how it really is. He got silenced for going against “the experts,” even though he’s one of the world’s premier experts on mRNA vaccines himself. Because, of course, the “experts” are fake. It’s just a label for whatever cabal of people repeats what those who hold power want to hear. Dr. Robert Malone joins us to discuss.

    Compare this interview with those from the the demented F8ckwit in the WH.

    *********

    Democrats and the mainstream media are laser-focused on making the one-year anniversary of January 6 the only news topic this week. The New York Times editorial board says, “January sixth is not in the past, it is every day.” The Left could not be more tone-deaf on this. Average Americans don’t dwell on January 6 because they can’t afford to. They have real challenges to deal with, many of which didn’t even exist one year ago – things like food and gas prices and inflation. Every day, Americans are experiencing the stark difference it makes to live under a federal government controlled by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. Glenn says leftists are using January 6 as a distraction from their own drastic failures over the past year. Americans want to talk about real issues, so Glenn traveled to Mar-a-Lago for an exclusive conversation with former President Trump about our reality under Biden’s leadership now and how we fix our future. They also discuss the authoritarian vaccine mandates, what he would do about Fauci if he were still in office, and the growing threats from Russia and China. The former president also answers how he would take on a Deep State committed to his destruction if he runs for a second term. Finally, Glenn reveals his strategy for candidates to easily win against the disastrous Democrats in ’22 and ’24.

    Increasingly uneasy about how Djokovic is being treated. Whatever your views on the man, he was approved to board that plane. And now? An 8hr interrogation, a glorified detention centre, and global ridicule. This does not feel like ‘rules are rules’. It feels like a show trial.

    How to break a loved one out of a hypnotic trance

    The Editor

    Experts in psychology say that the safest way to wake a loved one from a deep hypnotic trance is with gentle questioning.

    Here are a few examples.

    “Why was Scott Morrison telling us to ask our doctors about Covid vaccine safety when the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency had already banned them from criticising the vaccines?”

    “Why is everyone told the vaccines are safe and effective but that the unvaccinated who don’t have Covid can infect the vaccinated who may then die of Covid?”

    “Why is no one told that the average age of death from all causes in Australia is 82 but the average age of death ‘from’ Covid is 85?

    “Why has Scott Morrison promoted only the vaccines and not the safe and cheap Covid cure devised by Australian expert, Professor Thomas Borody?”

    “Why was the Australian media banned from reporting Japan’s stunning success against Covid using Professor Borody’s protocol?”

    “Why did the Therapeutic Goods Administration ban our family doctors from prescribing Professor Borody’s cure?”

    “Why has the TGA made it so very difficult to record an unexpected post-vaccination death as being caused by the vaccines on their DAEN adverse events database?”

    “Why has the Australian government prescribed a one-size-fits-all Covid treatment program in our hospitals when that is unprecedented in medical history?”

    “Why did the US Centre for Disease Control find it necessary to change the definition of the word ‘vaccine’ to suit the products being sold as Covid vaccines?”

    “Why have so many governments around the world enacted the same counter-intuitive and destructive measures as Australia at the exact same time?”

    “Why have those internationally identical measures transferred unprecedented wealth to the world’s richest billionaires at the expense of small businesses everywhere?”

    “Why are those measures now interrupting food supply chains and depriving famers of the Adblue needed to run modern diesel-fuelled agricultural equipment?”

    “Why after all these years of promoting equality and equity for all minorities are governments vilifying and persecuting the minority who refuse to be bullied or coerced?

    “Why are all 1300 major players in the Covid response rollout graduates of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Global Leaders for Tomorrow’ program, including Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, Jacinda Ardern, our federal health minister Greg Hunt, and vaccine investor Bill Gates?”

    “Why was this precise international response described in the ‘Lock Step’ scenario in the Rockefeller Foundation’s 2010 document “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development”?

    “Why are governments ignoring the internationally accepted ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and the lessons from the post-WWII ‘Nuremberg Trials’?”

    “Why are governments everywhere ignoring unprecedented numbers of citizens protesting, and banning their media from accurately reporting those numbers?”

    “Why does the world’s major internet search engine deflect searches for ‘mass formation psychosis’ away from genuinely expert sites to their preferred sites?”

    There are hundreds more equally pertinent questions you might use to snap your loved one out of their government-induced hypnotic trance, but I’ll leave you with this one.

    “When Bill Gates is on the video record in a TED talk describing using vaccines as a depopulation measure, and when he has funded Tony Fauci to both create the Covid virus in the Wuhan biowarfare lab and to develop the Covid ‘vaccines,’ why are ‘our’ elected leaders playing along if they’ve not been offered either great wealth or death threats for their families?”

With in my bubble I have NDIS support workers who are all vaccinated .At this moment three have tested positive, one stalwart who stood in a 10 hour hospital queue awaiting results.
