    Today the NSWLC ruled that Part 3A of the NCAT Act has retrospective application.
    It means I’ll face a NSW Court on 19 November 2021 under a 2017 NSW law for comments I made in 2014 in Qld.
    I now face potentially $300K in fines.
    This is on top of another $100K in fines I also face under a new complaint for this comment left on this Facebook page in mid-2019:
    “australianspirit.info supports bernard Garynor”
    Seriously. That’s the entire comment I’m in trouble for.
    This new complaint was accepted by the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board earlier this year and will go before NCAT on 8 September 2021.
    I suppose I should have known in 2014 that what I was doing was going to be against the law in 2017 in another state.
    It’s a mistake anyone could make, I guess.
    By the way, the complaints relate to my article linked below from 2014 criticising naked homosexuals who exposed themselves to kids at various gay pride parades.
    The NSW Anti-Discrimination Board thinks that it is unlawful to criticise this ‘behaviour’.
    Just in case you are wondering, I’m not sorry for criticising homosexuals who think it’s fine & dandy to expose themselves to kids.
    In a normal world these perverts would be jailed.
    In a normal world anti-discrimination law would not be used to protect perverts from criticism.

    Bars, restaurants and gyms would reopen to the fully inoculated once NSW vaccination coverage reaches 70 per cent, under a proposal drawn up by ministers.

    I’m old enough to remember three weeks ago when Scomao and “Barnaby” were running around saying it would be completely up to the business owners if they let people in or not.

    But no, your NSW teacher-premiers are going to give the very good boys and girls a merit award and let them go to the canteen and playground with an early mark! Naughty reluctant children will be kept behind for 15 minutes.

    My personal theory on this is that the CCP and USA both tried to use each other in a technology arms race where the end goal was known, it had to be a silent competition and neither side knew who had the best R&D tech. China stuffed up and it got out.

    spoke to The Irishman today

    He asked when I was getting vaxed

    A short while later he regaled me with anecdotes of the Old Country and how the Delta was killing everybody despite their complete vaxish-ness.

    I said Francis, you silly fuck … if theyre vaxed or double vaxed and still getting the couf, then surely you’d have to consider that maybe the vaxines don’t do shit, no?

    No, no … its the Delta he says and starts banging on about case numbers.

    The CDC did not ‘quietly’ say anything at all about ADE in a White House summary of its findings linked above. The summary basically detailed the situation re longer term immunity and discussed the introduction of booster shots, the usage of which has caused some debate re necessity of all people having these. They say:

    “Taken together, you can see that while the exact percentage of vaccine effectiveness over time differs depending on the cohort and settings study, the data consistently demonstrate a reduction of vaccine effectiveness against infection over time.

    Importantly though, despite waning vaccine effectiveness against infection, data analyzed through July continued to demonstrate the stable and highly effective protection against severe illness and hospitalization for people who are vaccinated. Included in the same reports described before, data from New York State and Mayo Clinic also show that vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization remains relatively high, both over time and during periods when the Delta variant was surging. ”

    Of course the risk of severe disease is ‘enhanced’ as vaccine protectiveness diminishes if that’s the word you want to use for it; the simple truth is that the risk increases once more to what it was before vaccine protection kicked in. No great scare story there.

    Also, Srr, there is no need to be extremely abusive towards Rosie, who is simply stating her very reasonable case. Many would agree with her, even here, and I most certainly do. Vax the over 50’s and let others decide, then set a date and end lockdowns.

    Vicki, I hope your grandson keeps improving. It is worrying and I sympathise; I have a much loved 18 year old grandson too, who I suspect will be taking a vaxx soon if he hasn’t already. I’m rather hoping he takes the AZ rather than the Pfizer.

    At 18 their immune systems are so active it’s no surprise that the AZ hits them quite hard. I have an ancient immune system and had a bad day in bed the day after it. I didn’t mind too much as it shows my immunity is still alive and kicking!

    Yes. The Telegraph today has a Q & A session for people to get ‘authoritative’ advice about their own personal circumstances given the ‘new regulations’. So many people querying about simple everyday things like visiting needy rellies etc. The ‘adjudicator’ made some ridiculous discriminations re what you could do and with whom and why. NSW really has become a genuine Gulag when run on these sorts of arbitrary rules.

    Essentially natural immunity appears ( recovered people now ill again) appears to be far superior protection versus vaccinated persons, three months later. Hence, in reference to my post earlier today, being previously infected by Alpha strain results in antibodies that are perhaps four fold or more as protective as the $2 jobs conferred by vaccines when it comes to Delta.
