    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 think they can; not permanently because Public Health acts have 90 day or otherwise short sunset clauses.

    Crazy that this Jeff Buckley track has so few views.  Breathtakingly good, as is the whole album

    Love it, Bruce. It’s one of my favourite Jeff Buckley songs, along with Vancouver.

    I’m surprised a movie hasn’t been made about him yet. James Franco would have to be the one to play him. Uncanny likeness.

    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.》

    ************************

    This seems to conflict with the document headed Legal Exemption to Contact Tracing and Notification to Cease and Desist Contact Tracing which clearly states that Commonwealth Law overrides state law (or, in this case, most probably just regulation) and it’s interesting to note that when this was raised with Woolworths and Coles they both backed down.  As I said, they would have easy access to the best lawyers and surely at least one of them would shoot it down if they could.

    This is what Dan Bongino said; when the scumbags were fucking around in the weight-room and pissing in the corners of the presidential palace thousands of them could have been taken out with a couple of stingers; and the SEALS could have mopped up the rest. Collateral would have been substantial but then happy days.

    But biden is the demented figurehead of a disease which has the West in it’s death throes: wokeism, self-hatred and a complete inability to defend the West. This is a disease which was displaying the gay pride flag a month before the talifucks took over.

    I don’t know what the answer is: Trump would have handled this withdrawal but even he would not have been game to do what Bongino suggested; and no matter how effective he was the reptiles in the msm would have chittered like cockroaches.

    Steve trickler, I grew up when 60 cents would get us a return from Geelong to Melbourne on the old red rattlers, back when they still had the old metal block foot warmers. I love old trains. They will always be special to me.

    The trips to Melbourne and back ‘for something to do’, from our little suburban station made me appreciate, not only how accessible trains made otherwise distant places, but the beauty & craftsmanship put into functional necessities, that I still associate with trains to this day, despite what ugly, sterile though filthy modern rolling stock keeps trying to insinuate into the respectable old traditions.

    There’s also that comforting thing about hearing a train in the middle of the night that told you the world was still running, a lullaby to me –

    Most people, particularly at 21 do not suffer the same symptoms as what he did. On the other hand I know people not much older than him that are laid up for up to a week from the AZ shot, at least from no. 1. Hmmmm.

    Ron DeSantis’ Female Spokesman Banned from Twitter for Disagreeing with a Journalist

    I just remembered that before Donald Trump took the coronavirus vaxx, he used to get all hopped up on Regeneron and go nuts.

    Fox News:

    A spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis allegedly harassed a reporter via Twitter — so the social media platform temporarily shuttered her account due to “abusive behavior.”

    Christina Pushaw apparently disagreed with a Tuesday story from Associated Press reporter Brendan Farrington, about a multimillion dollar DeSantis donor who also invested in a company producing Regeneron, a drug used to treat COVID patients.

    DeSantis has pushed for the drug as a COVID-19 treatment in his state.

    Pushaw shared Farrington’s report on her Twitter account and asked her followers to “drag them” before deleting the post.

    The spokeswoman also threatened to put Farrington “on blast” if the story wasn’t changed, and retweeted a message about the AP, adding the words “Light. Them. Up.”

    Farrington received a number of threats after Pushaw’s tweets, according to the Associated Press.

    It’s de facto illegal to criticize journalists in America. They are a priest class.

    The government refuses to protect the right to free speech on the internet, which is not actually different than censoring people themselves.

    Meanwhile, if you try to go out on the streets and disagree with the media, you will be attacked by a mob of Antifa. The police not only will refuse to protect you from them, but if you defend yourself, you will be prosecuted.

    The United States is not really even pretending to be a free country anymore. We’ve now completely given up on freedom, and now the only thing we have is democracy.

    Personally, I would choose freedom over democracy. In fact, I would choose freedom over most things – up to and including child trannies.

    Obviously, the long term agenda here is to make it de facto illegal to disagree with Democrats at all, on anything. The setup for that is already fully established.

    Sometimes I wonder if the vaxx really is designed to control people’s brains using 5G. At this point, any plan to indefinitely sustain this level of political repression makes about as much sense as the theory that the “Afghan Government” can hold Kabul for three months after US troops pull out.

    Germany: Corona Dissident Flees the Country, Worries About Getting Suicided
    If I were him, I’d ask for asylum in Afghanistan.

    The Taliban won’t destroy your life to save you from getting a mild flu.

    Free West Media:

    The well-known German critic against Corona measures, has fled Germany fearing for his life. After a raid-like house search, the scientist Prof. Stefan Hockertz, sees the writing on the wall.

    Hockertz is an immunologist and toxicologist and not only a critic of Germany’s Corona measures but also of the gene injections, which for him represent “gross bodily harm” as Austrian weekly Wochenblick reported.

    In March last year, the immunologist stated that Corona was comparable to the flu in terms of danger. His book Generation Maske also caused a sensation, in which he emphasized the harmful effects of wearing masks on children.

    A few days ago, all Prof. Hockertz’s accounts were blocked and a garnishee order of 820 000 euros was issued. His lawyers are of the opinion that the tax allegations are groundless. Although it is not customary to arrest suspected tax evaders, Hockertz has decided to leave Germany. “I can no longer live here and certainly no longer work,” he is quoted as saying.

    On February 1, 2021, German public broadcaster ARD’s “fact checkers” described a Twitter message from Hockertz as a “completely twisted statement”. In this, Hockertz claimed, referring to a press release from Merck & Co, that the pharmaceutical giant had said that after intensive research it had determined “that it would be better to get the virus and let your immune system work instead of a vaccination”.
    Prof. Hockertz fears for his life
    After the house search in June, Prof. Hockertz was “totally in shock,” it was reported, citing sources. His family doctor diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder after the search. He is still unable to work and is afraid that his professional status will be ruined and his wealth will be stolen from him.

    Four days ago, Hockertz left Germany in a hurry. Hockertz has also stressed that he was not suicidal, fearing that a “suicide” might be staged to cover up his murder.

    The background to the raid-like house search was the suspicion that Hockertz might have evaded taxes.
    State Trojans and surveillance software
    After the search, Hockertz hired criminal tax lawyers and managed to get his cell phones and computers back within a few days. He had the devices examined by experts, who found state Trojans and other surveillance software installed on his computer.

    The entire West is now framing Virus Critics as terrorists.

    Europe doesn’t have Donald Trump supporters, so they’ve gotta go to war with their own population with the hoaxes they have.

    Scotland: Government Wants to Make Emergency Powers Used Against Deadly Flu Permanent

     

    The thing that is really so shocking about this is that no one could have predicted it.

     

    Sputnik News:

     

    Scotland’s devolved government has launched a bid to make its draconian pandemic emergency powers permanent.

     

    First Minister Nicola Sturgeon‘s Scottish National Party (SNP) administration announced a 12-week “consultation” on Tuesday on its plans to maintain sweeping powers over civil liberties.

     

    Deputy First Minister John Swinney, who also holds the COVID recovery portfolio, claimed the powers to impose lockdowns, close schools, conduct criminal trials online and free convicted criminals form prison early were “beneficial” and “welcomed by people” in Scotland.

     

    Those powers are set to expire in March 2022, but the regional Holyrood parliament — in which the SNP holds a majority and enjoys the support of the small Scottish Green Party — has the power to extend them.

     

    “We want to ensure we remove measures no longer needed in order to respond to the pandemic whilst keeping those where there is demonstrable benefit to the people of Scotland,” Swinney claimed. “This is an opportunity to maintain changes that have been welcomed by people who now don’t want to lose transformations that have been innovative, beneficial, and increased access to services.”

    Swinney said that while the pandemic had been “incredibly disruptive”, it was also “driving the pace of digital adoption, and in some cases more efficient ways of working”.

    He called the exit from the lockdown “a unique opportunity to reimagine how health and social care, learning and justice services can be designed and delivered”.

    Early in the pandemic, 348 prisoners were released up to 90 days early from prison — although those convicted of ‘COVID-related’ offences were excluded from that privilege. Former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray, who was jailed for reporting on the government’s failed attempt to jail former SNP leader Alex Salmond for rape, was this month denied early release on the grounds that he is was convicted of a civil offence and not a criminal one.

    This is going to be standard across the world.

     

    If you simply look at what they are saying, you should be able to easily grasp the fact that it is totally impossible for there to be any finality. They have not created a path for the program to end. You don’t have to be a sociologist or a mathematician to see that: there is no path out of this, if there are an arbitrary number of mutant strains that beat the vaccines.

    This will be the way the West dies. Period.

    I don’t know how I’m still saying this same thing after 18 months.

    Anyway – someone needs to tell me again about how the Taliban is evil for forcing women to cover their faces.

    srr – “I grew up when 60 cents would get us a return from Geelong to Melbourne on the old red rattlers, ”

    As far as I remember the red rattlers were the electric trains that ran around Melbourne suburban lines until the early 80’s. Are these the same trains you’re thinking of?

    Disobedient church

    Vigilant neighbours alert crimestoppers as criminals gather to sing hymns.

    Australia is such a lovely place.

    Used to catch them to school.

     

    Don’t remember catching them to work even through they were around til 1984, maybe they tried to mostly use the blue trains during peak hour on our very busy line

     

    Weird comment from someone called jo. Might make sense to someone else

    <i>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>

    Apart from the “school teacher/ruler” reference, that description could fit anyone of the following candidates: grandma & her sisters; father and some of his uncles; mother-in-law and her sisters and a couple of the father-in-law’s sisters.  But we’re speaking of a time when the power of the state was inverse to the moral fibre of its citizens.

    Struth- “How to make Gravy”, Paul Kelly

    Steady strummy- let the silences ring out. A master busker even slows the pace as she goes, keep voice in low register, and the original recording’s tipsy buildup is transformed into bitter delusion. Even the sunniest hearts read their own sorrows into the lyric.

    Have to change the identity of “Dan” though.
