Agree. But in my case it’s new shoes. All virtual of course, because who needs new shoes when you can’t go out and show them off. Stiletto heels and sling backs are dangerous in the kitchen. It does make me wonder though how much money has not been spent on consumer goods because of the lock downs. And is this money being saved or tipped into gambling, grog and online subscriptions.

“Remember when her protest about Bird was to leave and not return? That lasted 5 minutes.”
Nonsense. It lasted as long as it needed to. I went to Nilk’s site and to M0nty’s to esccape the lunacy here, where people were actually responding to Bird.
Yes, I made a noise about Bird. I despise anti-Semitism and people who tolerate it.
I have no objection to discussing why it exists, its manifestations, and to clearly refute all claims made by anti-Semites; in fact on the same day I departed I put up a brief historical overview here about exactly that to make it plain what nonsense it was the Bird was spouting. Similarly, I have also put up here how and why even paedophlia could be a discussion topic in its historical, psychiatric and socio-cultural contexts.
In any such discussions though of issues which are illegal when practiced there is no point and plenty of illegality plus a failure in decency in asking, for example, anti-Semites and paedophiles in to state their case. I am with Adam that contentious issues such as this may be discussed, but in a manner which is objective, evidenced and disengaged. Personally, I don’t want to discuss such things but Adam wants an open blog. That’s fine.

Professor, The Greens have only ever had marginal support outside of the capital city inner metro areas. Elsewhere they are almost universally viewed as fruitcakes. That situation is unlikely to change.
Second, and more importantly, you are displaying a sad lack of knowledge of how our preferential voting system works. A person legally can only cast one vote, and can only number one candidate last without making it an informal vote.
In every election nearly every seat comes down to Labor versus Liberal or National as preferences are distributed. Putting the sitting member last in a Labor held seat almost certainly guarantees a win for Libs or the Nats. Conversely, putting the sitting member last in a Lib or Nat held seat almost certainly means a win for Labor.
Either way it is a completely non-partisan method of doing something, and the Greens are unlikely to gain from it regardless. But as always I’ll finish as I have done for the last five years –
If you have a better, more workable solution tell me. I’m all ears, and not averse to changing tactics.

How to be unpopular.
Notice from the time of all the big employers & their support industries shutting down & going O/S, how many people end up getting “better jobs” than factory work at Ford, International Harvester, Crosby, Palaco, Shell, you know, all those “hard”, “dirty” that kept cities like Geelong ticking over well.
Notice how suddenly people who went to work at 15 or Tech because they weren’t smart enough for Public Service, are getting Employed in Govt. Council, Social Service, Unions Public/Private, Teaching (sorry, facilitating courses in getting now mandatory tickets for every shit kicker job out there), and so many ‘working’ for the ABC, all ‘doing very well thank you’, in their new careers.
Noticing such thing and mentioning such things does not make one popular, not even with the hard graft people because most have a rellie or mate who makes their life that little bit nicer with all that extra cash to splash, oh and knowing the insider ways (legal but not advertised to the lesser people ways), to open doors to ‘good’ work, and …

“handing the balance of power to the Greens would make the situation considerably worse”
The greenfilth don’t even need to hold the balance of power to have their insane disgusting misanthropic policies implemented en masse by the two major parties.
Witness the situation here in NSW, where we’ve had a nominally centrist state government implement the following:
– A toy train line to nowhere that nobody wanted, took about seven years to build, cost about 10 times more than originally estimated, used by virtually no one and which reduces the carrying capacity of already chronically congested Sydney roads
– Return and earn container scheme – again, entirely unnecessary, increased the cost of containers (and therefore grocery bills), it is extremely difficult to actually return those containers, container collection sites quickly became tips surrounded by piles of unrefundable containers and vagrants now wandering neighborehoods going through peoples’ garbage (I’ve had my recycling bin tipped over twice, with numerous glass containers smashed all over the driveway)
– Beryl’s abortion of an abortion bill, introduced in haste just after the last election and which was not taken to the electorate beforehand
– Massive increases in property taxes and further attacks on property rights
– Insanity in the schools including tranny normalisation, climate idiocy and anti white and anti western sludge shoved down unwitting students’ throats
Then there’s our beloved feral government and other monstrous assemblages of imbecility such as those fruitcakes in Disasterstan – and that’s without even mentioning bloody local councils and the havoc those corrupt insane idiots wreak on the populace.

Start writing your representatives, use pointy language, and let them know you don’t normally do this, but your nose is out of joint, that they’re forcing you to vote for who ever promises to abolish this stuff. All previous political lines have become minor and fallen away – this has become the number one political issue of the time.
Donate to legal funds of anyone that is trying to have a crack at these things in the courts.
Be brave in your own private life and start mouthing off when covid karens get on their high horses. These people are maniacs and an increasing danger to you and everyone around you.
Ideas about twiddling around with public health acts yet is a fantasy – these governments, the parties and the establishment more broadly, will now simply not give this power up without physical and active sustained political action at many levels.

In Alberta, Canada, Patrick King represented himself in court after being fined $1200 dollars for protesting against the Covid restrictions. He issued a subpoena to the Provincial Health Minister for proof that the Covid-19 Virus exists. The government was UNABLE to provide that proof and were therefore forced to admit that they had no such evidence. Since the virus has never been isolated, without proof that there is a virus the government had no legal grounds to impose any such restrictions.
Alberta has subsequently rescinded all Covid-Restrictions and now officially treats Covid-19 as nothing more than the mild flu. Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw announced the changes on July 28 as part of the province’s move to treat the virus as part of life in Alberta and treat it in the same way Albertans treat other respiratory viruses.

So, yes, more of the same will change things…
No, the model is totally f@cked, stacked to the hills with self-correcting systems carefully designed to prevent real change to the prevailing power structure.
Only some kind of popular overthrow will produce a real difference in the short-to-medium term (≤ 20 yrs, at a guess), just think of how different things were in 2000, compared to now.
Anything else is just warm, cuddly, feel-good delusion.

Understand BB- as Rabz said it’s gone from surreal to frightening. Our feral political class, who are really just sock puppets for foreign interests and marxist Canbra pubes, show how broken democracy is.

Anyone out in Orange – Montoro Elegance Pepper Shiraz: Very nice. It is indeed elegant, which is what you should be aiming for with cool climate. Substantial fruit flavour without the ripe jamminess of warmer climes, good balance and mouth-feel and…this is the kicker, a floral aroma that arises toward the back and lingers there. It is a later sensation as it takes a moment for the warmth in your mouth to release it from the liquid. If I had to guess I would probably say violets, but I am not really into flowers.

We’ve just taken Attapuss to the vet for his regular vax shots. Very important. In my impecunious days as a student I neglected to get my cat done for feline enteritis. Poor thing died of it on the floor in front of me, this being after the vet had done his best when some friends and I turned up at 2am howling and begging for treatment. The vet did his best but didn’t hold out much hope.
Today the vet also gave Attapuss his worming tabs (I can’t get them into him). We had to pass him over at the door and wait outside for a telephone call to discuss his health. Masked. He is apparently a very healthy cat indeed. But he has stacked on weight. Must be lockdown, I say jokingly. Owners are home a lot and feed them more during lockdown, she tells me. So now he is to be on a diet.
Poor little kitty. He will drive us crazy with this demands while we’re cooking.

Finally, only do it when Covid restrictions are in place so you can wear a mask. All post offices are now fitted with cctv.

Like say, the cold war by the political class against the Australian demos became a hot war last year.
I think the two major parties pretty much became the uniparty after 1972. Fraser filth was just a continuation of Whitlam.

I sympathise with those advocating writing letters to local MPs and telling them you’re disgusted, will put them last etc.
Unfortunately, I don’t think MPs are too worried at this stage. They still think most “normal” people support them. Most of the press stuff coming out is that demonstraters are anti-vaxxers and extremists. You’ve only got to look at social media posts to see the plebs are broadly ok with their liberties being infringed “”for the greater good”. They whinge and moan about restrictions but not enough of them have reached their pain threshhold yet. Until that turns around and we see real gnashing of teeth amongst the wokkas, I reckon most MPs would still fancy their chances in an election. I wish it wasn’t so.
I post a lot of the stats and stories from the Cat on my social media pages. We have to keep putting that stuff out there but it’s gonna be a long road. As bad as things have got, we’re not at the “Uncle” point yet.

“Imagine we have a situation where governments, having recently secured ‘fixed term’ in parliamentary democracies that are built to fall anytime, will go their entire term operating under ’emergency powers’ – no fronting parliament in any meaningful way, no asking permission from the people, no subject to debate that they don’t totally control.”

I think we are way beyond that… I think that the entire parliamentary representative structure needs a re-think. It has been totally corrupted and subverted.

I haven’t written to you in a while Llew, but as things pan out, I’ve been right all along.

Many quiet Australians are filled with hatred for the likes of you and your silence.
I am one of them.
If you do not come out and immediately denounce these lockdowns and hostage taking of millions, when Covid 19 cannot be proven to exist, and you have this email, and you do not ask for proof of it’s existence compared to normal corona viruses, so a specific corona virus that your illegitimate cabinet rely on to inflict tyranny and misery, I will be putting your name forward as one of the people who need to stand trial.
And if something happens to me, I have others who will do so, if I’m taken out.
And that will make them more driven.
If not, there will be “no lock down” candidates coming forward at next election and we will be doing all we can to rid ourselves of the filth of the globalist Liberal party.
We will also be running a campaign to put the major parties last, no matter Lib or Labor.
You have not won, you have made millions of people extremely angry.
God help you.
Denounce or justice will be done.
It’s going to be done in Alberta, and if it can be done there, it can be done here.
Denounce and leave the party.
You are a disgrace.
Fix it and save yourself.

I would add that any period longer than 6 months of emergency powers should be immediately followed by a general election.
Probably better to have a general election BEFORE any extension of emergency powers is allowed. And a referendum question specifically on the subject should be asked: Just to prevent the next mob from extending it!

“The modellers, whether at Bristol or on SAGE, keep making the same mistakes, assuming universal susceptibility until infected or vaccinated, that lockdowns have been responsible for controlling infections, and that there will be a huge exit wave when restrictions are lifted. They never seem to notice that outbreaks consistently peak before or without lockdowns, and that exit waves never occur (except when there’s a new variant about at the same time).” https://dailysceptic.org/2021/08/06/what-the-modellers-still-dont-understand-about-herd-immunity/#comments

I had the misfortune of listening to Lisa Chesters on the Bendigo airwaves. She is the Labor member for that federal seat.
Anyhow, she thinks that giving everyone 300 dollars to get the jab is a dandy idea. It’s a stimulus she excitedly proclaimed as well. Because these dollars can be spent at local businesses.

One of Sydney’s biggest clowns puts on a Friday show:
Salim Mehajer‘s lawsuit against Channel 7 for causing him “nervous shock” has been dismissed without making it to trial after a judge ruled the case was defective and a “burden on court resources”.
Disgraced developer Mehajer, who is serving a prison sentence for perverting the course of justice, sued the broadcaster for defamation in the District Court in April 2020.
In his statement of claim the former Auburn deputy mayor alleged three publications, broadcast in 2017, 2019 and 2020 respectively, caused him personal injury.
However, a series of legal and procedural errors in his pleadings – including naming the wrong defendant – and repeated failures to correct his mistakes meant the lawsuit was thrown out on Thursday.
After giving him more than a year to get his case in order, Judge Judith Gibson concluded Mehajer was a “reluctant gladiator” in the proceedings.
She found any further attempts to file amended documents by the bankrupt inmate, who has struggled to obtain legal representation, “are likely to be similarly defective”.
“(T)he future conduct of this litigation would impose a burden on court resources and that the prospect of a fair trial after such a poor start would become increasingly unlikely as the litigation continued,” she wrote.
In her judgment Judge Gibson detailed the many blunders Mehajer, 35, made when filing his claims in court and his poor or non-existent attempts to rectify them.
She said he did not attach transcripts of the publications, did not plead imputations for two of the three broadcasts he claimed defamed him and one of the stories, from October 2017, was time barred.
Mehajer’s claims of media negligence, lack of attempts to contact him and that the stories caused him “nervous shock” were irrelevant and impermissible, Judge Gibson found.
“These defects have been explained to the plaintiff on each occasion that the matter has been before the court as well as in correspondence and written submissions provided by the defendant,” she wrote.
“As the procedural history of the claim shows, there have been many opportunities for the plaintiff to attend to these significant errors and omissions in his pleadings.”
Judge Gibson said Mehajer also named the wrong defendant in his statement of claim, and when ordered to correct that in an amended document, “he merely wrote the correct name on a copy of the statement of claim and served that document on the defendant”.
She said in circumstances where Mehajer had “taken no steps to comply with orders” for 15 months and provided no satisfactory explanations for his delays: “I am satisfied that the plaintiff is a ‘reluctant gladiator’ … and that these proceedings should be summarily dismissed.”
In April, Mehajer was jailed for at least two years and three months after being found guilty at trial of two counts of perverting the course of justice and one court of making a false statement under oath.
He has launched an all-grounds appeal against the guilty verdicts.
