Define what you mean by “ought not”. I’ve said several times it shouldn’t be refused through compulsion, so tell me that’s not what you’re saying.
I don’t get your logic. If a person has a vax in order to avoid the Chinese bio-weapon or at least ward off the worst impact, how is that comparable to someone refusing the vax?

I’m watching a show on NITV about a bloke living on a beach in the top end, somewhere.
He’s a fillum maker who want’s to see if he can live off the land.
He’s got three chooks and he’s caught a fish. Whatever he’ s eating now, it’s no more substantial than tea and bikkies.
The scenery is stunning.
He’s quite philosophical; at the mo, he’s singing a song; the first line is “don’t take it personal, don’t be a d!ckhead.”

No for two reasons Ed. Assuming you around 73 years old, no one of that age should be referring to himself as “Eddy”. Eddy is a teenage name or what your close male pals have called you since your teenage years. Secondly, it appears that you have comprehension difficulties as no one is stopping you from going to hospital.

The lefties who are running this line about refusing medical care to ‘Refuseniks’, are actually making the best argument possible against the universal (socialist) healthcare system
If being financially responsible for poor health choices is the best way to nudge people towards a healthier options, clearly a user pays system is the ultimate for better health outcomes.
As a Refusenik, I’ll refrain from using the hospitals when they stop treating illicit drug users who overdose. Personal choice, known risks, and all that.

This point might have occurred to the RAAF schedulers running the flights into Kabul. Although it might not, given the recent civilianisation of the Australian military…
Steal as many crew served weapons from the Afghan National Army depots as practically possible. But keep it really simple. Really simple. You want all of the RPG’s, the M2’s and the DShK’s. Scoop up as many of these as you can find. There are Minigun’s, Spigots and Grails to be had. Although tempting. Ignore those.
Learn the lessons from the low tech Taliban victory.
Shift everything you’ve nicked onto a couple of C-17 flights. Two would probably do. Stash it in the sheds at Wallangarra until it’s needed.
When it is needed…
There could be a time when there is a need, short of war, to seriously up-gun the Pirates of the Malacca Straits. After close consultation with our nearest northern neighbour, of course.

Eight teenage girls have committed suicide in the first seven months of this year, a marked increase in the number of young women taking their lives in a tragic toll being closely watched by the Victorian Coroners Court.
The alarming rise has been recorded by the court amid a deepening youth mental health crisis that expert professor Patrick McGorry has described as a “shadow pandemic”.
New court data reveals eight girls committed suicide to July 31, up from just one in the first seven months of last year. In the same period in 2019, Coroner’s Court statistics show three teenage girls took their own lives while the number was four in 2018 and three in 2017.

Seems that there is a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ to allow an orderly evacuation.
It’s going to be a hard time for all the diggers who served in that place in the next few months.

That was quick. Someone’s been reading on blitzkreig ops.
The Afghan government appeared to have collapsed on Sunday night as the Taliban declared victory, the US embassy was evacuated and the Australian military prepared to rescue expatriates, with the Islamist insurgents at the gates of Kabul.
Australian special forces and infantry are preparing to evacuate Australian nationals and former local employees from Kabul after the Taliban breached the defences of the besieged capital of five million people on Sunday.
Scott Morrison confirmed planning for the mission was being given “utmost urgency and priority”, but refused on security grounds to provide further details.
“I don’t think it is advisable for me to go into operational arrangements that are being put in place for the security of those we are seeking to help,” the Prime Minister said.
It appeared the Taliban was prepared to allow the allied evacuation to go ahead, declaring the Afghan government was responsible for the city’s security “until the transition takes place”.
As Taliban negotiators entered the city Afghan media reported that President Ashraf Ghnai was preparing to resign to make way for a new government led by the Islamist insurgents.

A very good question… China wants access to a Bluewater port in the Indian . And they want a pipe for oil and gas…. Afghanistan and Iran are the obvious choice for them. I’d say that both have received massive assistance from China.
It would be very interesting as to how much. Can’t be bothered looking up and doing the math tonight- but if as reputedly the US has done, the trillions spent if given directly to Afghani citizens, would have made them rich rich rich… (means that China is giving similar!)
