- 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.

Open Thread – Saturday, 12 February 2022

I wonder if Alan Tudge is on the “cusp of being sacked” or this is PM Morrison doing a focus group poll overnight to see whether it’s a good move. Either the LNP think an allegation from a woman in the past is a reason for sacking a chap or they don’t.
Scott Morrison of late, especially with the ukulele, is acting odd. The ukulele an instrument associated with Hawaii. What was his motive for that segment on 60 minutes. Mrs Morrison taking blame for the Hawaii trip because the girls needed a holiday. I wonder if he took up playing the ukulele as some kind of statement about the Hawaii trip. There is a bit of strangeness there.

If I’m reading the news right, Dan Andrews is mandating parents and all visitors be triple vaccinated before they can enter the schoolgrounds or attend school events.
So anyone who needs to enter the school, eg trades workers, grandparents, visitors for concerts and school activities, has to show a triple vax certificate at the gate or email it in beforehand to get permission?

Yeah, that’ll work. Half the kids I know are laid up at home with the rona and mightily pissed off, like their parents, because the vaxx dont work.

A life observation as some are wont to post.
Diminutive new (Sharp) uwave oven, where the carousel is the same size as a large dinner plate, which just fits inside the oven without scraping the sides – went to remove a casserole dish and took the lightweight, diminutive carousel out with the whole lot by mistake.
Perhaps manufacturers could integrate the carousel base fitting into dinner plates in future, ending the need for a carousel?

Delta, your daughter joined the protest and saw what happened at close quarters. She can actually talk about her experience to others and compare it to BLM protests.
Australia is one of the fortunate countries having its federal elections within a year of the restrictions and lockdowns and just a couple of months from the Canberra Convoy. If, on Election Day, voters cannot recall how democratic governments (Uniparty) have treated them, and boot them off, it will be far more shocking.
Now is the time for everyone who understands what is happening to pass the message to those who don’t. A big change is possible if there are enough voters who are prepared to fight for it.

Did You Know?
In the Iliad, Helen of Troy is described as being so beautiful she had a “face that launched a thousand ships”. In a nod to that, there is a humorous unit of measurement named after her. One helen is the beauty it takes to trigger the launch of a thousand ships and, if you’re looking to measure the beauty of someone more modest in appearance, you can even measure using millihelens—increments of beauty equivalent to one ship launch.

Origin to close Eraring in 3 years. Eraring and Liddell produce 30% of NSW’s power. NSW requires about 12000MW daily. There is 25000MW of installed wind and solar in NSW. In the last 24 hours w&s produced 18% or 2160 MW. Renewables are entirely sustained by subsidies. Coal cannot compete because when the renewables are producing, about 20% of the time, usually in the middle of the day when demand is lowest, coal cannot sell it’s electricity and must buy large scale energy certificates from the renewables. The subsidies, certificates and preferential access to the market are why renewables are cheaper then coal.
We’re fucked.

This video is also a reminder to all seafarers of their duty of care to their passengers. The Philippines has a very high rate of maritime disasters and we hope this video will touch the hearts & minds of the people in charge & make them resolve to never, at all cost, allow a similar incident from happening again.

Fordham put the “our best interests” figleaf on his “analysis” of the ABS report. Not that much analysing was necessary.

******************************************
Thanks Leon, they used to report on deaths and injuries separately, now they just show “adverse events” in one group. Well, death is an adverse event I suppose. The last time I saw the vaxx death figures they were hovering around the 750 mark, they have probably topped 1,000 by now so they decided to group the deaths and injuries under the one heading.
