Of course not – the politicians mandate the “vaccine” on others, not themselves.
I had occasion on Thursday to meet the United Australia Party candidate for the seat of Mallee. Quite engaging and someone who runs a local equipment hire business. Would have been 10 people in attendance, bit of a sausage sizzle but he left us with lots of electoral ads to put up around town.
He was quite upfront about his chances, may not get elected but I believe recent polling here in Mallee shows a significant swing against the Nationals Dr Anne Webster. So anything is possible.
I shudder to think of what Palmer is spending around the country. Candidate in every electorate, would be eye watering to see his outlay
Top comedians team-up for a comedy special for Ukraine. To stress how seriousness the Crisis is they refrain from telling any jokes – and instead lecture us about Russia. One thing is for sure: with this line-up, you won’t laugh!
Close contacts may no longer be required to self-isolate for seven days as Australia continues to treat coronavirus like the flu, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison declaring he “can’t see” a scenario where the world regresses to the previous pandemic restrictions.
Mr Morrison revealed the National Cabinet on Friday discussed getting rid of the close contact isolation requirement, which he believes “makes a lot of sense”.
He said the majority of Australia is in “phase D” of the National Plan, which means “living with the virus like the flu.”
GovRonDeSantis slams #Disney saying “In Florida, our policies got to be based on the best interest of Florida citizens, not on the musing of woke corporations.”
Will there be Russian pilots willing to take up this offer?

USD 1 million per aircraft and USD 500,000 per helicopter.
Shy Ted, I’m going to be needing my repeat prescription in a few weeks. I shall keep your procedure for getting the prescription in mind, and use it, if necessary.
Mind you, I still work on the belief that it’s those who read but don’t engage who are there to gather information to sort for themselves rather than push an agenda
srr, there were two comments you posted, earlier this week, and they have points I would like to respond to. The above is one of them.
When I am catching up on a thread after many days, I sometimes find it difficult to understand responses if they have no context or quote. That is okay, if the intention of the commenter is to only converse with a specific person/persons. Or there is a link pasted and no explanation. In those cases, I simply scroll on.
If it is meant to be for all on the site to understand, especially those who are coming in to read and learn, it is up to the commenter to make it easy for the reader to follow the conversation or the link or information posted.
I like coming here to read things worth reading (without having to scroll through pages of Social bullying by those still committed to selling Govt BS), so there’s rarely anything I feel needs adding to what are great posts full of good information.
When I have the time to join this blog and post comments, I am also catching up on my online reading, from other sources. If I come across some information that I think may interest Cats here, I post it. However, if I see my name in continuous comments – solo performer on the stage – I tune off the site, and carry on with my reading.
One day, last month, I picked out the previous Open Thread and did a quick check through.
– 75% of the comments were posted by 5 commenters
– An additional 10% by another 2 commenters.
– The remaining 15% was by all the other commenters.
So between 5 – 7 commenters are carrying the major part of the Open Threads.
If it is not just 5 or 10 or 15 commenters who value the blog and want to keep it going, then it may be time for some action from others. It would be helpful if there were a wider variety of voices sharing on the thread, at least occasionally, to break the monotony and provide some relief to those who are doing their best to keep posting comments.
Finding information and posting news clips and articles takes time and effort, as those who are regular commenters know (type, copy-paste, format, check links, post, check again, test links). It would be far easier to sit back and lurk and wait for someone else to do the posting.
I’ll say it again, this blokes training skills with dogs and minks is very impressive. I am curious as to how much he would charge farmers to reduce their rat populations. His crew have obliterated hundreds in a day.
If you are the squeamish type, you may not want to click on it.
To answer this question, I poked around a few popular alternative search engines for a day or two and used them for my daily work.
My main judging criterion was how each search engine fared in its commitment to protecting user data and privacy. Here are the 11 that got my approval:
RNC Research

REPORTER: “How long should Americans expect — how long should we be bracing for — this historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?”
The ACT’s top judge has given a “blunt” warning that the more people talk about the Brittany Higgins case the greater the danger her alleged rapist’s trial will be postponed or not proceed at all.
Former staffer Bruce Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty to raping Ms Higgins in Parliament House in March 2019 with a six-week trial set down for June.
At a mention on Thursday, Chief Justice Lucy McCallum said she wanted to send a strong message to “any person who has any interest” in the case, after questioning Mr Lehrmann’s lawyer about whether there would be an application to temporarily or permanently stay the proceedings.
“A man has been accused of a very serious offence, it is an offence that can only be tried with a jury,” she said in the ACT Supreme Court.
It would be fair for the case to be thrown out.
The ones who have turned it into a soap opera, can’t complain that they did not get justice. The system has rules that need to be respected.
OEM system image (Dell) backup has no out of warranty support online – can no longer download it after putting in my official Dell service tag number.
I’d already put an old (2012) Acer 10″ netbook on Win10 Pro with a cheap online key (single use) – so bought another for the Dell.
The new (2020) Dell 14″ notebook actually didn’t request a key to upgrade to Win10 Pro – Micrsoft said it was already registered against my account, so I put my old (2015) Win10 Acer 15″ notebook on Win10 Pro with the key ($51 online with discount).
So far, so good with the Win11 Pro.
The upgrade actually kept all of my apps and data – no reinstallation necessary!
The look and feel seems like a hybrid between Apple OSX and Windows XP – sort of retro.
IIRC Intel are re-introducing old x86 architecture, too (for cut down devices)?
TIME Correspondent, Simon Shuster, travels to Ukraine in the summer of 2019 to investigate white supremacists militias that are recruiting people to join their fight.
OEM system image (Dell) backup has no out of warranty support online – can no longer download it after putting in my official Dell service tag number.
Although Win10 had crashed, the Dell OS Recovery Tool would still run from the boot menu, but after attempting repairs, it then even lost my Windows user details, so couldn’t even restore my apps and data!
So a fresh Windows install was necessary in any case.
This was all likely a result of two former failed attempts at upgrading to Win11 via Windows Update, whose tool said my PC was Win11 compatible, natch.
I was interested in the one about the difference between mink and ferrets. I have a book about a young girl who grew up on a hill farm in Scotland in the 1920s. She had a Scottish collie (a sort of half size Lassie) and a ferret, and used to make a bit of pocket money by getting rid of rat infestations in the nearby village. The ferret would flush the rats out of their holes, and the collie would grab them and snap their necks as they emerged. They were an effective team, and thoroughly enjoyed their work.
The ferret didn’t really try to kill the rats, although it would kill any babies it found. It just chased them out of their tunnels for the dog to catch and kill. A mink will always try to kill anything it can.
That’s what a thousand years of domestication and selective breeding can do to change behaviour. The wild polecat which the modern ferret is descended from is a very different animal, more like mink or other mustelids – i.e. very aggressive and dangerous, and only specialists should even attempt to have anything to do with them.
That said, even domesticated ferrets (especially entire males) can be quite aggressive, and they have a nasty bite!
Now that the manufacturers admit that the Pfizer & Moderna are gene therapy, the Covid Medical Network call for them to be withdrawn, as it’s clear that the TGA didn’t assess them appropriately, & there are many questions to be answered to determine if they’re safe for use.
