Even New Zealand is Dropping its Hated Mandates and Vax-Passes
Posted by Stephen Andrew · March 23, 2022 11:17 AM
Well, I guess that makes it official.
Australia is now the single most tyrannical and restrictive government in the Southern Hemisphere, after its main rival, New Zealand, abandoned the field with a stunning policy reversal from PM Jacinda Ardern.
In a speech earlier today, Ardern announced the removal of many of the country’s most draconian restrictions, including vaccine passes and most mandates.
All unvaccinated workers in the public sector, apart from those in health, aged care and border control, were told by the PM they can return to work from 4 April.
This includes teachers, childcare workers, police officers, ambos, defence force staff, and public servants... which should make for some pretty awkward moments around the office water cooler next month I expect.
With the end of NZ’s vaccine pass system, many private sector businesses like hairdressers and restaurants, will also be free to invite unvaccinated workers back to work.
While Ardern said the private sector was free to continue using the vaccine pass system, it would take a pretty brave NZ business owner to actually do so — if they want to stay in business that is.
The PM also announced the lifting of restrictions on outdoor venues and an increased limit of 200 for indoor venues, starting this Friday.
The universally hated QR codes are also being scrapped, and businesses no longer have to badger their customers to sign-in every time they enter their premises.
All over New Zealand, the ‘Covid lobby’ has begun exhibiting early signs of 'relevance deprivation syndrome'.
Many have taken to the airwaves to squawk about the imminent doom about to befall New Zealand.
One public health 'expert' from the University of Wellington told the media that the government should "wait and see, just in case".
Unfortunately for him, however, the trusty old ‘precautionary principle’, which always worked a treat in the past, is now almost completely discredited in the eyes of the NZ public.
Two years of non-stop tyranny will do that to people.
Still, we shouldn’t underestimate the extraordinary power these 'chicken littles' have over the world’s political classes.
As one cynic warned on twitter:
"Don’t remove the app from your phone just yet NZ"
However, Ardern’s stunning reversal is unquestionably brilliant news for the people of New Zealand.
Let’s just hope Australia's leaders are all paying attention…

Vote Kean Get Green
Posted by Mark Latham · March 21, 2022 3:47 PM
Good on Minister David Elliott for calling out the truth about the Kean/Perrottet Government. A vote for a Cabinet led by Matt Kean and Mark Speakman is a vote for the Greens. NSW Liberals and Nats are full-on woke.
In the most recent example of what Elliott is talking about: A 7yo boy can go to a gender fluidity class in a NSW Government school, go to school the next day saying he’s a girl and under Minister Sarah Mitchell’s policy, he has the power to instruct the school not to tell his parents.

Right to Farm at Heart of One Nation Agricultural Policy
Posted by Carol-lyn Tsoumbris · March 18, 2022 6:35 PM
Farmers’ rights will enjoy greater protection in a signature agricultural policy for South Australia launched by One Nation today.
One Nation SA leader Jennifer Game said the party believed strongly in the right to farm and understood the importance of agriculture to South Australia’s economy and exports.
“South Australia’s economy is not in the best shape but agriculture has always been a strength for our state,” Ms Game said. “We undoubtedly have some of the best farmers in the world, and we need to step back and let them do what they’re best at. The right to farm is at the heart of our policy.
“Farmers need water security, especially in a drought-prone state like ours. We’ll stop the government putting pressure on farmers in the Mount Lofty Ranges to install low-flow bypasses around their dams. We’ll work to ensure no more water has to be given up to the Basin Plan by efficient SA irrigators – they have sacrificed enough already. We’ll also work to streamline drought assistance for farmers to ensure they get support when it’s needed.
“We will work to protect prime agricultural land from development and urban encroachment. We oppose the radioactive waste dump at Kimba, and we will seek a review of the state’s Mining Act 1971 to strengthen protection for farmers and their land. One Nation will also revive the stalled process of strengthening and extending pastoral leases while focusing on eliminating green tape – we recognise our pastoralists are the best at looking after their land.
“One Nation will also seek to focus South Australia’s trade effort on diversifying export markets for our farmers so they are more resilient to trade shocks such as the one inflicted by China with its punitive tariffs on South Australian wine, barley and seafood. At the Federal level we’ll work to make trade agreements fairer, and harder to weaponise for political purposes.
“South Australians are justifiably proud of our primary producers. We enjoy a unique lifestyle here in part because of the abundant high-quality food and wine produced here by our farmers. South Australia is a world leader in agriculture, and One Nation plans to keep it that way.” -
'Mean Girls' Scandal Proves Albanese is No Leader
Posted by · March 18, 2022 6:33 PM
Opposition leader Anthony Albanese's failure to address serious allegations of bullying within the Labor party prove he is no leader.
These allegations are serious and should be investigated!
The fact that he has tried to dismiss these claims is a serious warning sign he hasn't got what it takes to be a true leader for all Australians.

The Memo Perrottet Won't Write
Posted by Mark Latham · March 16, 2022 1:11 PM
Coming back into parliamentary service three years ago, the thing that has surprised me most about the NSW Government is the huge amount of time and money wasted by senior public servants in the workplace.
Since 2019 I have been alerted to and collected information on the following activities inside government departments during work-time:
- Welcome to Country ceremonies
- Rainbow Flag-raising ceremonies
- Rainbow Cake-cutting events
- Harmony Council meetings
- Reconciliation Units
- Critical Race Theory training
- White Privilege shaming walks
- Time in the ‘Imaginarium’ room contemplating the future
- Personal Well-Being Sessions
- How to Laugh lessons, like the disgusting one held last week during the flood crisis
- Yoga and other ‘relaxation’ classes during Lockdowns
- How to bake Indigenous cookies
- Hanging expensive Indigenous paintings in the Treasury tea-room
- Setting up special Yarning Circle rooms
- Paying for Busker entertainment during Zoom meetings
- LGBTIQ Alphabet hand-wringing sessions
- Handing over floor space at the Powerhouse Museum to the ‘Department of Homo Affairs’
- Unconscious bias therapy training
- Bruce Pascoe Book Clubs
- Wear It Purple Day
- IDAHOBIT Day
- Meetings to get rid of girlie photos in the toilets of construction sites
- Gender Equality Units
- So-called Cultural Sensitivity training.
After all these activities have been completed, they must have 7 minutes left before knocking off for the day—enough time for sorting out their personal pronouns (as Transport for NSW did recently).
There’s your answer as to why the trains aren’t running properly, our school results have gone down the drain, and hospital emergency rooms are over-crowded.
Instead of doing their day jobs, senior public servants on big money are involved in woke political rubbish. More junior public servants tell me they resent this campaign as they, quite properly, they just want to do the job they signed up for.
Premier Perrottet could end this with one simple memo to Departmental heads: announcing a new productivity measure of saving hours every day by abolishing the woke politics and getting back to actually serving the people and taxpayers of NSW.
How hard is that? But Perrottet is scared to act. He knows of the problem but finds it too hard to stand up to his Leftie public service bosses.
In practice, he’s not running the State, they are. And taxpayers are being ripped off badly—paying for politics, instead of customer service.

Majors Taking Australia Back to the Dark Ages
Posted by · March 16, 2022 12:40 PM
Three hydrocarbon fuels freed humanity — gas, oil, coal.
Prior to the industrial revolution humanity suffered extremes of nature and endured poverty, famines, starvation and death.
Thanks to the industrial revolution over the last 170 years, human progress has lifted billions of people out of poverty and misery. Because as energy prices fall productivity increases, and as productivity increases wealth increases — not just for some, for all.
Instead, over the last three decades Australia’s dopey, dishonest, deceitful politicians have artificially tripled electricity prices.
Instead of having the world’s lowest electricity prices and attracting electricity-intensive industries and being independent, Australia now has the world’s highest electricity prices. That kills manufacturing and hurts family budgets and makes us dependent on other nations.
All so that politicians can parade their compliance with UN dictates.
Now we export our coal to China where they use it to generate electricity at one third the cost of electricity prices here in Australia. All because we have stupid, dishonest, anti-human policies subsidizing 'unreliables' — wind, solar.
In future elections — put the nation-killers, the majors, last.

United Services Walk Against Vaccine Mandates
Posted by · March 15, 2022 2:35 PM
Great turn out today at the United Services walk against vaccine mandates!
Estimated about 1000-1200 people there supporting Aussies who have been fighting to keep their jobs in the face of jab mandates and discrimination!
It's important we keep fighting on this issue. Not just to help those who have lost their jobs or whose jobs are under threat but to make sure this never happens again!
Keep up the good work everyone!
Let's help make sure the overreach we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic never happens again by supporting my push for a COVID-19 royal commission.

Anthony Albanese — Master of Disguise
Posted by Mark Latham · March 15, 2022 1:32 PM
Scott Morrison says Anthony Albanese doesn’t know who he is.
He couldn’t be further from the truth. Anthony Albanese knows exactly who he is.
Over the past 35 years Anthony Albanese has supported every failed Left-wing policy in Australian politics.
This includes advocating for radical economic policy, stopping boat turn backs, open borders and filling school classrooms with woke rubbish.
If Scott Morrison wants to have any chance at winning the next federal election he has to flush out Anthony Albanese for the radical lefty that he is.

"Better Safe than Sorry" is the Motto of a Police State
Posted by Stephen Andrew · March 15, 2022 1:19 PM
A BIG WELCOME BACK TO THE QCCL – WE MISSED YOU GUYS!!
It was a long time coming but the Queensland Council of Civil Liberties finally came out swinging this week with a blistering attack on the Government’s new Bill extending its use of 'emergency powers'.
Many Queenslanders, including myself, were disappointed when the QCCL seemed to be M.I.A. at a time when civil liberties were under threat as never before in the State’s history.
It was therefore a pleasant surprise to read QCCL’s excellent submission opposing the new Bill, topped off by a barn-storming performance at yesterday's Hearing.
The QCCL President said in his submission the following (direct quotes):
- The concept of a permanent state of emergency is inconsistent with the whole concept of a liberal political order.
- Freedom has enormous value in our society and that includes the freedom to take on some risk.
- There is now a real danger that these extraordinary powers are becoming ‘normalised’.
- These are the most Draconian powers that have ever existed in Queensland, including in wartime.
- The longer they remain in force the more people will become inured to them with the consequence that they will become normalised. This is entirely unacceptable.
Mr Cope is scathing at the Government’s misuse of 'the precautionary principle' to justify eliminating civil liberties:
- The precautionary principle is a long-winded way of saying "Better safe than sorry".
- "Better safe than sorry" is the motto of a Police State.
- It would follow from 'better safe than sorry’', that all of us ought to be subject to continuous surveillance so that nobody could commit a crime.
On Mandates, the QCCL President said:
- NO PERSON SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO TAKE THE VACCINE WHO HAS A RELIGIOUS, PERSONAL OR PHILOSOPHICAL OBJECTION TO DOING SO.
-
Anyone who decides not to be vaccinated, is exercising their rights to bodily integrity and to control their own medical treatment. They must be taken to have accepted the risk of being infected.
Mr Cope also spoke movingly of the impact these powers have had on the young and elderly:
- Children and young people are being deprived of a chunk of their lives WHICH THEY WILL NEVER GET BACK. Children and young people have missed out on social activities in school, dating, clubbing and other rites of passage.
- Older people missed out on hugging their grand kids and simple things like going out to movies or that dream overseas trip.
- Time is ticking whilst we prevent people from being able to make their own decisions about what risks they are prepared to take given their stage of life or the time that is available to them.
When the Committee asked why any ‘government would keep emergency powers longer than they were needed’, he was frank:
"Once governments are given powers, they tend to keep them. That’s just the nature of the Beast"
Bravo Mr Cope!Read more here: Submission 962. QCCL
