Testing Cats memories . Last year I posted a story about friend’s neighbour , a quantas pilot , who had been stood down . A few weeks later he was back flying plane loads of Chinese interstate . I tried to investigate what was going on and another friend knew an airport worker who reported that late at night Chinese were arriving at Tullamarine , this was when airport was closed down for most travellers.
Tried another avenue and still no luck all I got from two different sources that something was happening.

F the community.
When the Premiers all agree to ban voluntary assisted homicide and abortion, I’ll take their sudden interest in the sacredness of life seriously.
Immediately prior to COVID, there was a (now forgotten) national scandal in this country about how we – as a ‘community’ – treat the elderly like leprous dogs. Then COVID; suddenly the young and middle-aged – most especially the laptopper class – became poignantly and unctuously concerned about the aged.
In 2019, Brad Hazzard ostentatiously led the charge for liberalising NSW abortion laws. They didn’t actually need liberalising, of course, but the end result was a more legally uncomplicated licence for abortionists to kill people. Now the overweight asthmatic is on the tele every day lecturing people about their duty to their fellow man. Hypocritical turd.

Struth Well the polling is showing something that’s the only way many know how to protest but where in the hell do they put their votes ? Maybe just letting government know how they feel .
I’ll make another gross generalisation gathered from Zoom sessions , the average Joe Blow has no understanding of what is going on here or overseas . So we get 80% vaccinated and will be now needing third, like in Israel, what do they say then ?
Well Dan will have coaching from Qdos paid by us to make us feel he has kept us safe . Perhaps Scomo should employ that company .

14-19% of the population are vaccinated and listen already to the rhetoric against people who aren’t.
Imagine what they’re going to do when they get the numbers.
It’s a simple matter: if there is a single unvaccinated person living their life happily, that that person exists as a constant reminder that the ‘decision’ the vaccinated person made, the ultimate unreversible decision, may have been the wrong one, if not physically, then mentally. So that unvaccinated person must be ‘nudged’, harrassed, banned and eradicated from view, that is the driving force behind much of modern society and especially this.

Yep, and it’s not for nothing that anyone baulking against or questioning any of those, “opinion changing tools”, gets instantly, personally abused by more than a few. Still, they are ready to come out & hit us even harder –
It is crucial the first phase is successful as it will impact on the behaviours and uptake of future phases
We need to convert 2 in every three of the undecided and protect those who are already willing

They’ve known since very early on that these vaccines would require ‘jabs’ yearly or more, for ever more.
The last six months has been just to get you to take the first one so you can be told that.
Then you and your society are hooked up for life like flu jabs.
Notice how despite Israel, America, the UK all openly talking about boosters, Pfizer seeking approval for boosters, there is zero talk about any of this in the Australian narrative? Which is still: two jabs back to normal we go hooray!
The narrative shift has started though, as ministers and some media strategically begun to mention we’re not going back to normal ever even after jabby wabby day has come. They haven’t said why yet: the vaccines do not work as they have promised.

“FMD it actually teaches in a Uni.”
With some notable exceptions – Hi Sinc! – it’s been some decades since teaching at a university was an indicator that the person concerned could be sassumed to be a sound thinker. Further, in Van Onselen’s case his academic career could hardly be described as stellar – an associate professor of “politics” & then a professor of “journalism” in WA and now professing “policy” at Griffith in Brisbane. That is not the CV of a disciplined, first class thinker. “Political editor” at Channel 10 is no doubt a good fit, though.

Min , I believe it’s going to get violent and soon.
I am not in a locked down area although I still consider being unable to go interstate of overseas that I’m being held prisoner by criminals, however it’s not as bad here as elsewhere.
I can’t imagine the thought of all those millions locked down in Sydney putting up with too much more of this.
Think of all the angry Lebs, let alone the young blokes out there not emasculated entirely.
And the people will actually be starting to get hungry now.
Think that out of five or six million there will soon be at least a million that would rip the throat out of both Sco Mo and Gladys.
And deservedly so.
The bad government of Australia has held this country back for decades and decades, and it needs a good clearing out.
This country has had it too good and let them grow and become powerful and corrupt….and traitorous. Lessons need to be learned.
Aussies have certain characteristics and it’s going to be amusing to watch.
Once they wake up to what is being done to them, and their trust in government is gone…..watch out.
When they start feeling the pain that trust has caused them.
Once they feel BETRAYED, watch out.
Australians don’t have many redeeming features, but one they do have is inventiveness and that’s worth watching, because it’s brilliant when you see it.
I’ve done plenty of coach tours around Australia with all nationalities coming together and becoming one tribe.
Aussies and NZ er’s to some degree are problem solvers and it’s a joy to behold.
Don’t give up yet, min…what is about to happen , needs to happen.
Australians take politeness to such a strange degree, and privacy especially regarding politics, that they feign ignorance, but not all are.
Once they’re made to expose their politics, once they’re forced to declare their hand, then all bets are off.
Please don’t be too depressed, it’s not over yet.
The boys in the bush have hardly been harassed yet.
They won’t take kindly too it.
The cities may have been purposefully over run by cultures compliant, but that’s not everywhere.
The revolution will be full of hate, but full of humour.
Do not despair.
We just need to break the propaganda, and I think that is starting to happen.
Lefties don’t like being locked down either.

It’s only the start.

I’m sure you’re right min. My daily walk was characterised by Aussies out and about with their kids, chatting and doing what they do. Now it’s older ME slims and Injun parents, very often with huge families and with a general excitedness as though they haven’t seen each other in a long time. Not a word of English. Even in the high rise there is an obvious increased presence of non-English speakers who are not at all Ozzie-ised and seem completely lost with a pool or spa.
On a more longitudinal note I sell a bit of stuff on Gumtree and the buyers are almost exclusively Injun and buying the stuff that newcomers buy.

Words to live by, from Tim Andrews, who some might know from the Taxpayer’s Alliance (via Facebook):
Tim Andrews
I dedicated ten years years of my life serving the Liberal Party of Australia. I did this because I truly believed they stood for the freedom of the individual that was the first part of their official platform.
I disagreed with them at times, but I tried to help make them better. Even after I let my membership lapse, I still encouraged people to join.
I can do this no longer.
The present “Liberal” party is a shallow husk of what it once was. Their actions now are objectively indistinguishable from Labor, and this makes me weep.
Tomorrow, I will be joining other ex Libs like Campbell Newman and formally submitting my application of membership (as an o/s supporter) to the Liberal Democrats, who happen to actually believe in all the things the Liberal Party says it believes in, and I strongly urge you all to do the same.

“I fear Socialism is about to give birth to fourth and worst of the siblings – #Globalism.”
Globalism has been with us for decades but is currently waning because China doesn’t play by the rules. Neither will India in the medium term, I suspect. Nor Russia, certainly.

This is what happens when you ditch Tony Abbott as Prime Minister.
I thought Tim Andrews was already ldp though.
Is he still in the US?
Be nice to see a report about living in post covid USA

Rae, I agree. It is good to see the Premier back in charge and, together with Professor Young, properly managing the COVID situation in QLD.
Perry the Very Tedious One, talking to yourself is a bad sign. Have a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down.

The unvaccinated are no threat to the vaccinated. And as has been well documented by others, the only material threats to our freedoms now are not only emanating from the vaccinated class, they are also being perpetrated by them now on society at large as half the country is deprived of the liberty to engage in the everyday goods we once took for granted.

14-19% of the population are vaccinated and listen already to the rhetoric against people who aren’t.
Imagine what they’re going to do when they get the numbers.

Already the likes of Tim Pool & other high international viewership “influencers” are making out Australians to be some backward, anti-science idiots for having such a low uptake of the JABS.
Yep, Famous YouTuber’s are mocking our very justifiable caution against a, from go to (it will never) whoa’, flood of insanely contradictory Orders by Governments & Unelected QANGOS.

Elderly to need Covid-19 vaccine booster as effect wears off

Struth I am not depressed I am a problem solver , so send lots of emails to MPs except Labor ones as I know the intern at the desk will bin them . Also I have probably diagnosed and dealt with more depressed over decades back even in the time Valium was doled out by doctors and many could not diagnose depression. I had to train the doctors where I worked what to look for .
Gladys mentioned there were problems in Sydney with people going to mall for groceries and meeting up with other family members then standing around drinking coffee and talking . Non English speakers and cultural differences what Dan did here slapped lockdown immediately on towers where they lived but with appalling contact tracing so took ages to bring down numbers .
What I am seeing and hearing is summed up by the word I posted on catictionary WOKAGE older people who are getting greener more left and more woke as they age.
One of the reasons Dan likes to keep us in lockdown is that we can’t see the devastation he has caused , strip shopping decimated , un finished infrastructure and no money .

Whilst I don’t think that the events of September 2015 has helped the Liberal party in any way, I would argue that the rot set in a long time before Abbott was knifed and that Abbott himself, along with Howard, also shoulders some responsibility for the woeful state of the current Liberal Party.

yet another discord
I have setup yet another Catallaxy discord, that is
a) open to the public
b) moderated
while the current discord is seemingly unmoderated and by invite only, although not hard to find the invite, it quickly devolves into a slanging match which is quite frankly boring. Sure if you like that sort of stuff then the current discord is for you.
Same with all the current blogs. Again if you want a slanging match to have to scroll through I am sure it serves its purpose. Discord is basically a chat app, if you like chatting with other Cats but don’t want to be trolled then this is what this new discord is for you.
The rules for the new discord are no harassment or personal abuse. The idea of free speech is that some ideas are offensive, be offended, so what, defend your ideas or topics. A little bit of banter is fine so long as you know the person. Otherwise harassment will get you kicked off in the first instance and repeat offenders will be banned.
I will grant the right to kick people off the forum to a few long term cats. People kicked off can return, repeat offenders will be banned by ip address and email address.
Catallaxy is a supposed to be a libertarian not an anarchist forum, that means there are rules not outright anarchy.
current rules which I will tweak over time
#no personal harassment
#no doxxing
#no unmasking
#no spam
#no libel
#no anti-semitism
posts that are libellous, dox or unmask any members will be deleted and offenders banned.
you will need a validated email to join.

Britain has left the world’s largest trading bloc, Marine Le Pen is neck and neck with Macron in the French presidential polls and Frau Merkle has adopted Viktor Orban’s border policies.
We’re not in the 1980s anymore, even with an ’80s vintage corruptocrat in the WH.

Peter Van Oscillator on their ABCcess flogging his new book on how Australia needs visionary politicans.
Heard highlights.
Removing death duties was awful, how dare Joh force everyone to abolish it.
Australia is a low tax country.
Universal basic income.
Lockdowns are a visionary approach to Covid….

How verifiable is that story about Chinese arriving late at Tulla ?
I ask because I sometimes cycle past smallish developments in Box Hill. Sometimes the tradies there are 100% Chinese. Other times it’s Aussies.
