    Are we going to get some announcement from the trough caste that the pandemic phase is over? I’m inclined to agree that this scamdemic has been centrally planned because it has turned into a giant fuck-up.

    From our perspective at least. ScoMao and Palletjack more than likely think the opposite.

    ‘ I sort of felt I recognized the tall dude as a tennis player but couldn’t recall his name, so I asked him if he was a tennis player. He told me who his was and we go talking for a little while. I asked him if he was Yugoslav and he corrected me by saying he was Serbian. I forgot they took offense at that crap.’

    It must have been a long time ago for you not to know him immediately as The Joker, seeing as he is going for his 10th Melbourne Park singles title. What did you discuss?

    ***

    On the Owen Shroyer vid I posted upthread he discusses the attitude of Australians with Evelyn, and how this tournament could have been viewed as an opportunity for Australia with the possibility of sporting history being made – 21 Single Grand Slam titles. Australia could have taken it as an opportunity to showcase to the world that it is open for business and travel again, etc. But no, Australians did the opposite.

    This is from the Virology Journal in 2005

    Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread

    Background

    Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available.

    ********************************

    Kaysee, Chloroquine was found to stop Covid-19 in February 2020. A French doctor used it on patients suffering from Covid-19 and he had a 100% recovery rate, this was against the early Alpha version of Covid-19.

    Other doctors replicated his work with the same results, then interest grew in other anti parasitical drugs, Hydroxychloroquine and later Ivermectin. They all appear to be successful if used with zinc.

    A lot of healthy people around, a particular cohort, who could do the work…

    ********************************************8888

    There’s a lot of people out of work as they don’t want the mandated vaxxs, I suppose they would be on the Job Seeker allowance. What will happen to them if the government declares they have to join a “work for the dole” scheme in the supply chain, but can’t get employment as they aren’t jabbed.

    Could the government then force them off the dole?

    The state and federal governments created this problem, Australia’s population actually dropped last year as those who could leave the country did so. Over 20,000 Australian citizens left permanently, and around 300,000* permanent resident visa holders packed up and left. There’s probably a few Uber drivers in that lot, but also medical, engineering and other skills represented too.

    *from memory.

    Earlier this week, former professional tennis player Marion Bartoli came to Djokovic’s defence, slamming the treatment he had received in Australia as unfair…

    “I sincerely hope the minister will not use a sort of single power to dismiss the judge because that will send really the wrong message across,” she told BBC Radio 5.

    That message being Australia is a banana republic.

    Fri 14 Jan • NSW Health • Sadly 29 deaths reported.

    19 x vaxxed.
    10 x NOT.

    TRAGIC when you consider other possible treatments.

    TRAGIC when you consider the admission from Pfizer CEO.

    Just on the unvaxxed, I know an 88 year old who is unvaxxed. When I ask what the advice is from his doctor, he says he is always fobbed off to someone else, such as his cardiologist, whom he doesn’t know how to get in touch with. He has about 25% heart capacity left. I expect medical professionals know his heart would not cope with the hit from the Covid vaccines.

    Seeing as the average age of a Covid death is still somewhere in the mid eighties, the unvaxxed deaths are likely people on the way out who the vaccines may have killed anyway.

    Morrison has picked the wrong battle (again)
    Joel Agius

    … Instead of cracking down on the insanity of the premiers and gaining the political credit he desperately needs for the upcoming federal election, he has chosen to cause shame and embarrassment. It has made his government even more unelectable, ensuring that the rest of the world looks at us like we are all insane. It would not be surprising if tourists decided to travel elsewhere given how backwards this country is.

    The Djokovic saga has only highlighted what is wrong with this country, and what is wrong with this Prime Minister. He lacks the wisdom to pick the right battles to fight. He chooses cowardice over courage. And unless he makes a change immediately, he is doomed for consignment to the dustbin of history as one of the weakest and most ineffectual leaders this nation has ever seen.

    I problems are so great that no politician wants to run the country. They have just handed power to the public service

    As for the current disgrace even if the bureaucrats told Morrison what to do, Morrison owns this mess.

    If Djokovic loses the appeal, I’d like to see all the international players skedaddle back home on the next available flights so the OZ Open falls into a heap. Boycott the bloody thing.

    Authorities plan to move Djokovic into detention tonight
    By Anthony Galloway

    Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision means Novak Djokovic could be forced back into immigration detention within hours.

    It is unclear whether federal authorities plan to move him back to the Park Hotel in Carlton, where he stayed alongside refugees held in detention until the Federal Circuit Court ordered his release on Monday.

    Sources confirmed the plan was to move him back into some form of immigration detention…

    This is also political ineptitude.
    Top of the tv news was Jacquie Lambie ranting and raving about the Immigration Minister not making a decision.
    Then the news narrative was ‘shortly after he did’.
    So it now looks like Hawke couldn’t even make a decision without being blasted by Lambie.

    The fact that the decision was left to late Friday says a lot. It means the lawyers cannot do anything until Monday

    I want to say something else but what can i say?? Morrison seems to be a untrustworthy person and cannot be trusted

    Neil,

    Morrison and Co were trying to be clever by delaying the decision in order to hinder the Joker’s legal team.

    My point is the optics are Lambie kicked Hawke’s arse so hard it forced him to do something. There is no win here for ScumMo.

    ***

    I was reading at The Age just how broad the powers are for the Immigration Minister, leaving the Joker virtually no chance.
    So the courts are really just for show. Theatre.
