The Alberta case did NOT prove COVID virus doesn’t exist. Nor that it can’t be proven to exist. The judge ruled the Alberta AG didn’t need to produce proof because it was IRRELEVANT to the case at hand. The case at trial was the guy’s ticket – NOT the existence of COVID.

The issue seems to be mainly around our Constitution. The High Court appears to be running dead on violations and is asleep on the job.
The Constitution appears to be quite toothless on our rights as well.
Desperately needed is a rewrite with the emphasis on what the government cannot do. Also the US 1st and 2nd Amendments need to be included, as well as the ability of citizens to form an Irregular Militia.
Secondary to that, the Intelligence Services need a scourer put through them. I suspect they have been well and truly infiltrated by foreign actors.
The US Amendments/Constitution didn’t stop last November’s events and subsequent enforcements.
Old institutions have already been captured, imprisoned, trialled, convicted, executed and buried in quick-lime.

Thanks, woolfe, (and thanks for the Brett Weinstein vid).
It is a great article and good to see that sentiment in a mainstream paper. Yet nothing that Waterson said today has not been said in hundreds of different comments here (and there) and elsewhere across the nation.
Something must be done, he says, and his remedy – solution is too confident a term in these times of PIO or Politicians’ Induced Oppression – is for other politicians to take over. He has a point. But one maybe led to ask at this juncture: this hasn’t occurred to him before this? Perhaps he’s just upping the ante in his 1500 word column. Because what else is there to say after 18 months of State sanctioned obliteration of Australians’ human rights?
So it’s over to the pollies…
There’s nothing stopping any minister from calling a press conference and resigning from the front bench in protest, or for a backbencher to withdraw support from the leader in a statement of no confidence.

Voting systems have been corrupted and gerrymandered for decades.
Cartoons, letters to editors or local members, playing by “their” rules and on “their” turf will achieve nothing.
As the physics of history has taught us, the longer the delay, the greater the force needed to change direction, and the higher the human cost of that correction.

By fudging the statistics of course.
For example, they will define “the population” as people over 60, plus a few under 60 who have illnesses which require protection against the virus, and exclude all under 30.

Young has proven herself the worst of a bad bunch. She has been out of her depth since this started and a look at her CV shows that she should be a good administrator but for medical advice so long off the tools her proficiency is well out of date, I wouldn’t see her for a common cold. That said she should have been quietly moved on at the start.
As for the quote above been my complaint for a while about this. The more it doesn’t work the more they double down on the stupid. I don’t understand the mindset, I work in a high risk vocation especially on an operating mine lease with diggers & dump tucks. Just because it is risky doesn’t mean we don’t do it. I am not seeing any risk vs reward appreciation process being exercised here as has been on previous flu outbreaks. We are in effect reinforcing failure, like the WWI Generals they keep charging into an engagement area covered by obstacles and machine guns hoping for a different result. We are long past needing to consider other strategies.
Roxon had the same pressures from the same white coats in 2008 and apparently said no way to lockdowns, will cost too much. That from probably the most financially inept government this country has seen! Wow, let that sink in.

STEVE WATERSON
Well, that was worth waiting for. Finally a tiny glimpse of the modelling that has underpinned government decision-making on our Covid response, and very convincing it is too. And quite astonishingly precise.
Let’s not go through the various conditional predictions of the virus’s impact, especially the “worst-case” scenario, which happily generates a number far short of “everybody dies”, which I would regard as the worst case.
Instead here’s what the Doherty Institute says could happen if we suffered a six-month uncontrolled outbreak with only 60 per cent of the population vaccinated: there would be 737,971 infections and 5294 deaths. Love the super-scientific accuracy: not 737,970 or 737,972 infections; why, that would just be sloppy guesswork.
I’m teasing, of course (it’s one of the few pleasures not yet forbidden in these joyless times), and have no doubt the statisticians are doing their very best with the data; so let’s assume they’re correct that almost three-quarters of a million would be infected, of whom 5000 would die.
Many of us in the anti-lockdown corner are asked how many lives we would sacrifice to see the country open up again, our accusers triumphantly certain there is no decent answer because, as the NSW Premier told us in May, “no death is acceptable”.
She and her interstate counterparts would rather smash our lives and livelihoods in pursuit of their ridiculous, hubristic ambition.
If a foreign power were causing damage on this scale we would regard it as an act of war, when deaths in defence of the country would become acceptable again.
Perhaps we should bite the bullet and say 5000 predominantly old people taken prematurely is a sad but tolerable price to pay for the restoration of our freedoms and the repair of our society – as long as it’s not my precious grandparents. Oh wait, mine have already died of old age, like all my ancestors since humans first wandered out of the African Rift Valley. It happens a lot, I understand.
The Prime Minister’s proud boast is that our closed borders and hyper vigilance have “saved 30,000 lives” since the start of the epidemic last year. More unverifiable modelling; but again, let’s assume he’s right. I wonder how many of the saved have succumbed to other ailments in that time; or will next week’s census reveal a Cocoon-like bubble of healthy nonagenarians, 30,000 strong, laughing at Covid and death in all its other guises?
At best, we’ve dragged their lives out for a few more lonely months sequestered from their families, just as we’ve kicked the whole pandemic a little way down the road, at an almost inconceivable cost. As our leaders and their worker bees finesse their incarceration strategy, in the background the cries of misery grow louder.
The politicians look on, sternfaced and witless, bleating their platitudes about feeling our pain, and urging us to get vaccinated as the only way to escape the shackles on our lives, as though they had nothing to do with the sinister emergency powers they have granted themselves and aimed against us. “A surge in cases has closed restaurants”; “the latest outbreak means tradesmen can’t go to work”; “thanks to some selfish cab driver we must stay at home for the next month”.
No, ladies and gentlemen, the virus hasn’t done this to us; you have, cosy in your luxurious offices with your index-linked financial cushions, surrounded by sycophants and shoving people around like demented puppetmasters.
It may come as a shock to those snorting and gobbling at the trough of public money, but not everyone makes their living by opening a spreadsheet on a laptop, reaching out to a stakeholder and unmuting themselves on a Zoom call.
There are people who pay taxes (rather than recycle them) by travelling every day to places where they make actual things with their hands, who build home offices rather than work from them.
Some then have the audacity to consider their manual or menial work essential, as though they are under some obligation to put food on the table for their families.
And these ungrateful wretches, instead of praising the wisdom of their superiors who imprison them in their unfashionable suburbs, have the nerve to march in the streets in complaint, thousands of people engaged in reckless superspreader events that have led to a massive zero new infections.
“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!” wails Shakespeare’s King Lear. Echoing him, our politicians and bureaucrats, parents to their infantilised population, are “disgusted” (NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian) with these “filthy” (NSW Deputy Police Commissioner Gary Worboys) “boofheads” (NSW Police Minister David Elliot), “wankers” (NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner) and “hooligans, dropkicks” (WA Premier Mark McGowan). Treasure the eloquent, statesmanlike rhetoric of these latter-day Ciceros; that’s the way to bring the people along with you in difficult times. Instead they govern by regulations that grow daily more ridiculous. Sit down to drink, but stand up near a park bench; exercise, but don’t rest; go shopping but don’t browse, even though the sadists at Coles have moved everything you wanted into different aisles; under no circumstances talk to anyone you know, despite the masks that afford magic protection from nanometre Covid dust; the list is a never-ending carousel of hilarity.
The latest inanity from the future governor of Queensland (remember her, the one who did more than anyone else to dissuade people from receiving the Astra-Zeneca vaccine?) is to warn against online shopping.
“Do you need those people out in the community delivering packages and things?” she asks. No, your excellency, of course not, let them park their vans and bikes and get a well-paid, non-executive board position like your pals do.
What begins as absurdity soon turns dark. In NSW you must carry evidence of your address at all times when outside your home, and produce it to a police officer – “Papers please!” – on demand. You must carry a mask on your person, even to walk the dog around the block. Cold War Berlin-style police checkpoints have appeared on our streets to confirm cars are within 10km of their homes, and their occupants not intending to protest against their rulers. The army is on patrol in areas whose citizens are often refugees from regimes where camouflage battledress is rarely a welcome sight.
Do Western concepts of freedom no longer matter in Australia? Is it a trivial matter that we are commanded not to leave our homes? Does it seriously not bother anyone in office that we are being compared – accurately – to North Korea in our legislated refusal to allow our citizens to leave the country, or overseas Australians to return? This is very bad company we find ourselves in.
The politicians say they’re faced with tough decisions, but they’re not making decisions at all. They defend their abdication of responsibility by loftily declaring they are acting on the health advice they receive. They don’t evaluate that advice, mind, they simply follow it.
And it leads always to the same destination: lockdown. It’s “horrible”, Berejiklian said this week, “but we know we have no option”. In Victoria, Premier Daniel Andrews parrots her: “There are no alternatives to lockdown”, he said on Thursday. Unless of course you don’t order a lockdown, which I think does qualify as an option, and a much more appealing one.
Lockdowns certainly work in the crudest sense, in that by isolating people you limit viral transmission, but that’s not the point.
It’s the cost-benefit analysis that’s missing, absent from the moment our governments panicked and abandoned our sensible national pandemic plan to follow the brutes of Communist China into a policy of dystopian oppression, to “keep us safe”.
Let’s turn the acceptable casualty question around and direct it to our leaders: how many fruitful young lives are you happy to waste to keep those Covid numbers low?
How many small businesses are you ready to see disappear? How many suicides will you tolerate? How many bankruptcies? How many children should forgo their formative primary education and socialisation? How many deaths from other untreated illness are acceptable to you?
How much sorrow are you willing to impose on your subjects? How many grief-stricken families must bury parents and children without ceremony, like backyard pets? How many tears will soften your stony, self-righteous hearts?
Whether born of stupidity or callousness, the effect of our current aimless course is the same. State against state, city against country, suburb against suburb, office worker against tradesman, old against young, vaccinated against unvaccinated: it is a heartless, divisive and dehumanising policy. And worse, it doesn’t work.
The very people we elect to safeguard our freedoms are shredding them, causing fractures in society that may never be healed.
Surely there are politicians in every party who are silently appalled by this mounting despair and devastation. If their leaders cannot find a path out of this madness, perhaps those others should speak up and think about taking the reins, before the electorate’s frustration turns to fury.

I live two and half hours from the nearest capital city, I’d join them if I could but would be detected long before I even got close.

Listen you pair of fuckknuckles, I happen to know a real Geoff Lawrie. He’s a fellow musician in Qld. I don’t know how you got hold of that name but I’ll be referring him to your posts. I don’t reckon he’d be too impressed with your childish little games. I’m sure if he feels you’ve been posting defamatory shit under his name, there might be some follow up. I’d advise you both to cross that one off your sock list.

The phrase “never have” implies that bail in powers don’t exist, but PHON wants to create sime sort of perpetual legislation to prevent it ever happening.
If the power already existed he would be saying “Our aim is to have bail-in powers pursuant to section nnn of tye XYZ Act removed“.

Isn’t it great how Professor Higgins** is ever ready to interpret what somebody else actually means, or might mean, so you don’t have to work it for yourself. Or even bother finding out for yourself. Or even contacting the person and asking them yourself.

The vaccination drive for Year 12 students will begin on Monday August 9.
No jab? No HSC in NSW for you.

What about teachers and invigilators? Surely it should be ‘no jab, no job’ for them as well?
Thought not. They are much harder to intimidate than stressed out teenagers who think the HSC is the most important thing that will ever happen to them.

Ease up Moonshiner.
Rocinante first raised the Geoff name in among three or four others he claims are either acting in concert or are socks of one individual.
The prospect of several people disagreeing with him is too much to bear, I guess.
My post agreeing that I was “all of the above” should have carried a @sarc tag.
I genuinely have no idea what he is on about.
Tell Geoff to feel free to sue the arse off whoever is using that tag (I haven’t seen it here or at the Old Cat – admittedly I haven’t been following it for very long).

Beautiful day here in Qld.
Just went to Howard Markets, a packed pub over the road, no one signing in, music playing by live three piece.
Beer garden packed, and people hanging out of the old Queenslanders open windows.
Bloody caravanners from down south everywhere, literally swamping the joint.
Same down at beautiful Burrum Heads and just watched about 20 march into Dans, Not one stopping to QR in.
Not a cop anywhere.
This can’t last, surely.
What a disgrace.,……………
It’s almost like those good old days of 2019.
People were laughing and I saw a couple of blokes shake hands.
Disgusted I was, disgusted.
Good day out.
Now to light a fire in the pit, as although sunny, it’s cool and not a breath of wind, and crack open a Woodstock (red wine).
And none of this shit keyboard shit tonight.
It’s good to have a break from keyboard warring, and let’s face it, city people love lockdowns anyway, while the country is just too hard to control.
Remember, you’re not locked down if you don’t want to be.
(hey, I know, our turns coming, It’s just that I wanted to remind you how insane this all is, as they attack cities and suburbs)
That is truly disgusting.

Don’t be silly, Moonshiner.
If there really is a “real” Geoff Lawrie then I would welcome contact with him. I will willingly and happily supply him with copies of both LL’s post under Geoff’s name to me, and his bragging comment at the old Cat about doing it.
Lockdowns allowing, I’ll even travel at my expense to give evidence at any defamation hearing, should one eventuate. In fact I would relish the opportunity.

I wasn’t joking with the lockDan prediction.
The elimination strategy means lockDans forever.
The vaccine percentage won’t stop the lockDans either, as the vaxxx doesn’t stop the spread.
We should just be living with another coronavirus. But there are powerful forces intent on total destruction.

“IIRC this is derived from information theory whereby all of the information contained by a black hole is present on its spheroid surface, not its volume.”
***************************************************************
Egg, I understood that all the information inherent in matter collapsed at the boundary, and the only information that remained was the charge?
Is this incorrect?
(I read this many years ago and then had it mentioned in one of Larry Nivens books about the Pak and the Belter who turned into one of them made a micro black hole which was then fed by an ion drive exhaust to make it maneuverable in an electric field.)

Much the same in my neck of the woods, Struth.
Only about 70klm north of Brisbane.
A few at the Woolies shopping centre, and a few more hanging around necks “just in case”. Maybe about a quarter of the crowd in total. The only ones at the smaller shopping centre half a k down the road, are on the shop assistants.

Frosty.
1. I am not making any predictions as to what might happen in the future. What I am saying is that “bail-in” legislation does not currently exist. This is just PHON beating the “scare the pensioners” drum. Roberts has been given carriage of it because he is smart enough to run with the media on it. Pauline is not.
2. Fuck off you anti-Semitic pond-scum.

We don’t have to wear them up here.
Only if we have been to Brissie.
No reason to do that, and wouldn’t wear one down there anyway.
Still have not had a covid test, have not QR coded in anywhere (except for writing B.Mann on the sheet because I got surprised at the weighbridge of the dump.
Have not taken the death jab.
I have been to all states and territories except ACT within the last eighteen months due to a small stint I did on the trucks again, and they tell you the borders are closed!
I probably haven’t got long in the new job, but my new employer seems very old school Queensland.
I could no more see him submitting to this than me.
So we’ll see soon enough I suspect.
