    Apparently it was a staged media photo-op. The pub was closed and there were no patrons. Just a bunch of microphones and cameras.

    Nope. Standing up while having a beer became a perfectly legal activity on and from the wee small hours of Monday 11 October 2021, ie. from one minute past midnight Sunday night.

    You’re not even half good at making stuff up.

    They covered all angles the fiends.  Can’t have men standing up having a beer, they might talk of rebellion.

    Freedom Day update from NSW.

    So a patron turns up with her little vaccination card which she needed to enter the club. Receptionist turns her away because it wasn’t the right type of id they required. Because they needed the MyGov thing. Don’t think I want to work there anymore. CEO has done nothing to fight for our employment despite our loyalty. Despite me saying it’s unconstitutional. But he’s willing to accept praise to open up.

    Give me a spell.

    ■ BRAZIL, RIO DE JANEIRO: I’ve always preferred markets and street food over restaurants and modern shopping malls. The price is better, you’re outside and you get served instantly without a wait. But what does it take to operate as a street vendor? Who are the entrepreneurs who go through the hassle of having to wheel a business into the desired location day after day, year after year? And what is it like to be an entrepreneur in a bureaucratic mess of a country like Brazil where there are more rules, laws and regulations on the books than citizens? A couple of days ago I was introduced to Oberdan Santos by a mutual friend of ours. Mr Santos is an entrepreneur, father and volunteer at his local church, who a little under two years ago, left his hometown of Manaus to live in one of Rio De Janeiro’s many favelas looking to improve his plight and job opportunities. He started selling food and candy for established street vendors as he had done back in his hometown Manaus but quickly excelled to the point where he decided to start for himself selling Acai, an ice-cream type of snack popular where he was born. As soon as he told his story I asked if I could tag along the following day to document his daily life as an entrepreneur on one of Rio’s most famous beaches: Leblond. This video shows everything that transpired on said day….

    Aunty is dealing with all this. She has plenty of legal contacts to assist. Fee free so far, which is a blessing.

    Ah, Terry – I have to tell you that the fledgling Premier was in fact in breach of the law. The drinking beer standing up rule only applies to outdoors – Dom was drinking standing up indoors. That was definitely a no-no – and it doesn’t matter what his minders said about a photo op. He should not have even had a had a sip – which he actually did – live, on camera.

    But – rules for thee, not for me. Not a good look at all.

    Victoria records 1571 COVID-19 cases, 13 deaths
    By Michaela Whitbourn

    Victoria’s coronavirus numbers are in. The state has recorded 1571 new, locally acquired cases of the virus and 13 deaths.

    This is up from yesterday’s total of 1466 cases. On Monday, 1612 cases were recorded.

    ***

    Deaths always rise following mass covid vaccinations.
    One of the reasons trotted out is lifting of lockdowns.
    Victoria is still in the world’s longest lockdown, so that theory cannot apply.

    “Physicist Peter Ridd has lost his appeal to the High Court over his sacking by James Cook University, in what was seen as a test of academic freedom in Australia.
    The court ruled against the Townsville-based academic who was sacked by James Cook University in 2018 for breaching its code of conduct over critical comments he made about the work of a leading coral scientist and the trustworthiness of research bodies such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science.”

    Old mother Hubbard went to the supermarket to fetch her poor dog the proverbial bone. But when she got to there the shelves were not quite bare but there was some serious shortages.

    Might not rhyme but that was shopping yesterday.

    Well, they did vote for it.  

    It always confounds me when adults do these types of things.

    Still, empty shelves are great for weight loss.

    TaliDan is delusion:

    Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has declared he “was sent” to assist in their COVID-19 recovery, revealing his priority was to deliver the state out of the current pandemic. “I’ll tell you what I care about, and what I was sent to do and that is to get the place open, get the place vaccinated, create jobs, set us up next year, have a summer filled with those precious things like connecting with family,” he said. “All of those things together with seeing family and friends, all those sort of things – that’s what I care about as well as keeping people safe, supporting our health team to do their important work. “They’re the things I care about, they’re the things I’m up early and to bed late working on.”
