On 16 December 1929, New South Wales Police drew their revolvers and shot into a crowd of locked-out miners in the New South Wales town of Rothbury in Australia, killing a 29-year-old miner, Norman Brown, and injuring approximately forty-five miners. The incident became known as the Rothbury affair or the Rothbury riot, and is described as the “bloodiest event in national industrial history.”[1

Stocks and the Aussie.. What else?
Here’s where I’m heading. Currently the US market is muted because of Dementia’s fuck-up in Afghanistan. The market certainly hasn’t collapsed but there’s been an re-appraisal that Uncle Sam is in a spot of bother.
Hear me out, because I actually perceive this to be a positive for stocks – at least short term. If Dementia’s poll numbers are collapsing, there’s a reduced chance the moron will be able to get his economically destructive policies through the Congress and made into law.
In other words, for a large part, it remains the Orange Oaf’s economy. Yea, yea, I know Dementia can do damage through executive orders, but he’s done as much as he can on that score. By and large, it remains Trump’s economy and we’re now heading to the midterms. Good luck Dems….at least that’s how things will be perceived by the market. Generally, the market thinks thinks that midterms will go the GOP’s way, which means Dementia is locked up in the White House basement until 2024 if he hasn’t died before hand, in which case a despised VP will take over.
Meanwhile, the Fed will remain accommodating far longer than in the past. Now read this:

Um, nope. The government are the ones who allowed the TGA to ban ivermectin and HCQ. They’re entirely culpable. I just wish we had US law, where you can sue for actual and punitive damages. A few billion buck payouts would be a nice way to get their attention.
How did the government arrive at that decision?
From the Quadrant:
A Total Lack of Therapeutic Perspective
<<Dr. Julian Elliott is the Executive Director of the National COVID Clinical Evidence Taskforce, a body that advises policymakers and has been staunchly opposed to the use of ivermectin as an early treatment for COVID-19.
Frustrated and at a loss to understand why a considerable and growing body of evidence in favour of the cheap, off-patent medication is being not merely ignored but actively rejected, Dr Phillip M. Altman, a veteran of the drug-testing and appraisal industry, wrote to Dr Elliott to demand “revised recommendations for the use of ivermectin within 14 days”. >>

I don’t think Steve trickler would be trying to convince anyone to get the climate saving death jab.
However, I have absolutely no sympathy for those that took it.
It shows a lack of character, a lack of consideration for their nation and the freedom of their fellow countrymen.
Taking it has appealed to the lowest characteristics of humans and those that possess those qualities have only themselves to blame.
I just don’t give a shit.

The virus will continue to mutate and some of those mutations will favor immune evasion, but while this will allow it to infect people who have already been infected or vaccinated more easily, immunity should continue to protect against severe forms of the disease, <b>thanks in particular to the role played by T-cells.</b> This is likely what happened with other human coronaviruses, which are already endemic and typically cause a cold in the people they infect.

Google ‘founder’ admits he created revenge site against estranged wife
<<Scott Hassan, 51, who wrote much of the original code that powers the search giant, is embroiled in a nasty divorce battle that has raged for seven years and involves millions of dollars, claims of treating his children unfairly — and even a shocking online revenge campaign.
His ex wife, Allison Huynh, a senior research fellow at Stanford University’s Robotics Laboratory, claims Hassan is withholding a fortune that her attorney claims she is legally entitled to.
“In 2018, the [couple’s] estate was valued at $1.8 billion and [Hassan] wanted to give her a minuscule fraction,” Huynh’s attorney Pierce O’Donnell claimed in a statement to The Post. “His court position is that she gets nothing: Zero, zip, nada. Every settlement conference, he’s reduced his offer. I haven’t seen that in my 45-year-long career. He’s trying to pull off the ultimate dirty trick on his wife and three teenage children.”
But as divorce settlement proceedings are scheduled to start Monday in San Jose, Calif., Hassan is embroiled in a much less prestigious online endeavor.
After being accused by his ex, he has admitted to launching the site earlier this year, seeding it with links to positive articles written about his ex — but also links to court documents from three embarrassing lawsuits that involve her.>>

From early in November to the last week of December
I got money matters weighing me down
Oh the music may be merry, but it’s only temporary
I know Santa Claus is coming to town
In the days I work my day job, in the nights I work my night
But it all comes down to working man’s pay
Getting ready, I’m getting ready, ready for Christmas Day
Getting ready for Christmas Day
And let me tell you, namely, the undertaker, he’s getting ready for your body
Not only that, the jailer he’s getting ready for you
Christmas Day, hmm?
And not only the jailer, but the lawyer, the police force
Now getting ready for Christmas Day, and I want you to bear it in mind
I got a nephew in Iraq it’s his third time back
But it’s ending up the way it began
With the luck of a beginner he’ll be eating turkey dinner
On some mountain top in Pakistan
Getting ready, oh we’re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the Christmas Day
Getting ready, for Christmas Day
Done made it up in your mind that I’m going, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago
I’m going, on a trip, getting ready, for Christmas Day
But when Christmas come, nobody knows where you’ll be
You might ask me
I may be layin’ in some lonesome grave, getting ready, for Christmas Day
Getting ready oh we’re getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the Christmas Day
Yes, we’re getting ready
Getting ready, ready for your prayers
“I’m going and see my relatives in a distant land”
Getting ready, getting ready for Christmas Day
If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had
Never mattered we were always okay
Getting ready, oh ready, ready for Christmas Day
Ready, getting ready
For the power and the glory and the story of the Christmas Day

Western society, the best, is predicated on force, against its enemies, external and internal; this is the current state of affairs:
<em>Born in the years of the Cold War, the German Army was the backbone of NATO forces in Europe. Today, it is… “a quasi-humanitarian organization, a kind of Médecins Sans Frontières with guns”.
Meanwhile…. American officials, not humiliated enough, were trying to obtain assurances from the Taliban that, in exchange for aid, they would not attack the US Embassy in Kabul.
Afghan feminists counted on the solidarity of their German colleagues. But the Green Party was apparently too busy deleting male politicians from official photos for their own feminist propaganda. Well, what about the Swedish Army, then? It was busy waving the LGBT flag.
Meanwhile, the US military was busy teaching “critical race theory” at West Point. All great on the Western front …

A spokesman for Service NSW, the authority which oversees the QR code check-in function, told AAP FactCheck the state’s “COVID Safe check-in” is mandated by public health orders.

We spoke to them, and they were tempting. Of course they could fly us into Indonesia with no moronic Border Force knowledge. The cost was not much more than a business class fare. Such is the ongoing contempt of GA for the ex-RAAF arseholes in Civil Aviation.
The beloved daughter pulled the pin. They just want to FO from Johnson/Carrie Britain and come to Oz and don’t want crazy parents destroying their chances. Hurting! They refuse to believe that it is worse here.
In Primary, Sister Ursula didn’t tell me that I would have to confront much worse shit than not keeping my back straight in a scrum against the ST Peter’s proddies.
Subliminaly the old Irish fruitcake was very accurately predicting the end of civilisation.
Were the dear Sister still alive she would be in jail for rightfully applying the 24 inch ruler to every judge, plod, health bureaucrat, journo arsehole, the woman down the street, Counsel CEO, and the postie prick who rides his moped over my garden.

I get up when I want, except on Thursday mornings, when I am rudely interrupted by the council dust peoples … 😼

Apparently, under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 QR codes cannot be made mandatory and this is confirmed by exchanges with both Woolworths and Coles.
I’ve, for years, shopped at 7 in the morning when the local Woolies opens and have never used the QR code .. always just walk in but did notice last week, on the way out, that they were setting up a table with a staff member at the entrance but not before they get it organized so well after 7 .. closer to 7.30

The killing of impounded dogs is weird given every second family seems to have obtained a COVID puppy of some sort.

Have you walked past a store employee at Coles or Woolies? Have they stopped you or asked questions?
I checked out the other document, too.
From the Service NSW website:
《 Some businesses are required to record customers’ contact details under the Public Health Order, to assist with any contact tracing that may be necessary. Under the Order, you’re required to provide your details upon entry to these businesses. If you choose not to provide your details, you’ll be refused entry.》
