I find the TGA has the most informative virus and vaccine site - I have to agree that if you trust politicians to tell the truth constantly, you'll be seriously misled.

It continues to intrugue me how some people are attracted to politicians like a moth to a flame, alsways spewing hatred even when the poltician has no connection or jurisdiction to the subject.

Meanwhile the CT had a burnt rump, and Cappy suggested that someone should put some antiseptic cream on it. Turbo moved towards his car explaining that he had to go to a wedding. Cappy threw the cream to CT and stood well clear.........

...............which was jargon for cheap canvas shoes costing 30 cents each, and .............

........."help!, help!" as he was slowly dragged into a burrow. There was only one thing to do; he raced for the shed pumped four litres of diesel into an open drum, flung it down the borrow and lit a match and threw it down. There was a loud "WHUMP!!!!!!!" and magically the burrow line opened up and there was CT, all his hair scorched off, his clothes burnt away but still breathing.

Before Turbo could react, the savage buck charged, his needle sharp antlers pointed at Turbo's vitals, but Turbo had seen this happen before and jammed the drum over the antlers. The ig buck, now blind but seeing legs turned and charged, this time at Cappy who had been cutting his nose hairs using a mirror from a specual pocket of his safari jacket.

A 20 litre drum in the nuts at full rabbit speed is not a pleasant experience and Cappyu doubled over, screaming in pain.

All pretense of the stiff upper lip and the strength of the British Raj was gone and Cappy was moaning on the ground. Turbo knew the vicious little stag would impale him with its antlers, and so to save his friend he stepped into the path of the Stag, and copped a bucket in the nuts for his trouble, but he was made of sterner stuff and tried to wring the stag's neck using the bucket as leverage, but the bucket came loose and he was facing the sharp antlers and vicious growl of an oversize male rabbit. As it came at hom he stepped aside, grabbed an antler, broke its neck, skun it as he piroueted, fling its guts out with the force, and quietly started building a fire for a meal of stag.

Well there you go, missed a photo of some coffee beans.

.............when the annual rabbit multiplication takes place and I can get 50 before they all get back to their burrows.

Now those who know rabbits know they don't stay down those burrows any longer than they have to, and the best way to get them shooting out skyward is to put a ferret down.

You can buy ferrets from Turbine Ferrets Inc. for $50 a pair, and they come with instructions to spray the ferrets bright fluoro green, to avoid those embarrassing moments when the last rabbit out is a ferret. What has made Turbine Ferrets a household word in the Ferret world is that each pair comes with a complimentary butchers chainmail glove for handling.

Turbo still remembers the day he inspected a neighbour's ferret and was told to just put his hand in the top of the box and grab the ferret under the shoulders. The XXXXXXX ferret grabbed Turbos middle finger and sank its teeth to the bone and Turbo had to shake it for five minutes until the XXXXXXX thing let go.

BUT

A NIGHT CURFEW , !

A day  curfew would make a lot more sence. For some that night walk when overtired is a blessing.

A DAY curfew were your only locked in House,  so NO meetings or demonstration,s with others,

Would see a ' curfew  ' arrest charge.

Stop complaining. The Health people are trying to save lives, and recent outbreaks in Sydney and Melbourne were due to people partying and visiting family at nights. That's how some of the big infection spreads occurred.

A night curfew stops the partying and makes it very obvious if someone is moving around, so much easier for authorities to see and check.

The Health people who set these conditions are trying to get the number of infections back under control looking at both the Victorian and NSW figures this morning it looks as if both States mught just turn their outbreaks around if people stay at home.

There aren’t a lot of them in Australia.  Try Anne Twomey, or George Williams, or go to some recent online seminars on the topic.  Even read some reports by the Parliamentary library for example on the unlawful/unconstitutional expenditure of public funds by the federal government.  You are just plain wrong on the military being used in thousands of civil matters, unless you include the S&R actions...which is under the direction of State authorities (declaration...I was once ‘rescued’ by a naval helicopter as a teen bushwalker caught in floods.  The oPeration was under the control and direction of NSW police.  I have since been a rescuer on military helicopters a few times...also under direction of the police...and the military were, by a large degree, far more competent than their police controllers).  The issue isn’t the use of the military per se, nor the competence of the military, but the use of the military against civil law.  The police are subject to a range of limitations on their powers (and there are cases where these are breached).  But it is a different matter for the military whose chain of command is through their commanding officers and their commander in chief, the Governor-General.

Where most people go wrong in situations like this is only looking at the basic Acts and not finding the Supplementary Acts which can be bigger and more specific than the base Act, and not finding the applicable Regulations pertaining to the ACT or the legal cases which set precedents or the conventions applied by Parliament.

I wouldn't expect constitutional lawyers to fall into that category, but the lawyers who are employed to draft the Bills which become the Acts make plenty of mistakes.

I didn't exclude S & R, the Commonwealth often supplies troops for that along with bridge building, road clearing etc.

The most recent event where Defence troops came into Victoria was a storm in the Dandenong Ranges which left hundreds of homes without power with no chance of rebuilding for weeks. The ADF managed the assembly and supply to every household of a generator.

The process is usually a request from the State to the Commonwealth for help. If the Governor General has had any concern about being bypassed it certainly hasn't surfaced publicly.

If your concerns are miltary use against civil law then you would need to be very specific.

There is growing concern in senior constitutional lawyers that our current federal government are consistently testing the limits of Executive power, and this is particularly in relation of using the military for domestic civil issues.  

Who are these "senior" (whatever that means) constitutional lawyers?

There are only a few thousand precedents of using the military for domestic civil issues, and they've been welcomed by millions of Australians since 1901.

The article is in the Betoota Advocate, a satire newpaper.

Whilst I don't condone their behaviour as it just costs more money & ties up our already weak corrupt judicial system their actions does show that civil unrest will be with us for a long time whilst the lunatics in charge spread the fear & tyranny! We are just another animal species and caging us will bring reprisals!

The national anthem will need to be changed..."young & free" no longer applies!

Any possibility of getting an explanation of how the epidemiologists charged with getting this pandemic under control have become lunatics?

Does not matter to protesters,  chances of going to jail are slim on average, NO vacancy signs up at most jails.  IF they are denied a place in society, no jobs, no accomodation to rent, no food no car……..they just tun to crime and the citizens suffer. Commit crimes and get caught, no biggie as they get free board and lodgings and the University of Crime where they get  a Phd in thieving, what ever they want,  and probably count in some RPL too 🙂

AND the taxpayer pays $1500 per week each, to ‘train’ them,

Go to jail and do a ‘trade’ you won’t look back, if you are a ‘poor’ tradesman you will get to move back ‘home’ for some more training 🙂. Anyone for a Masters Degree in bank robberies?

This river of philosophy is all very interesting but perhaps you should have looked at the footage of the people, they way they acted, the way they were dressed, the husbands and wives with children, one couple showing their tear-gassed some aged about nine dragged along for some brain-washing, what they said and what it was about.

I believe the unpaid fine collection is contracted out like bad debts.

Yes they are; they all say they are not going to pay the fines but the perpetrators go on number plate recognition so are easily caught up with by the Sheriffs who can move intop a house take all the valuables and sell them. You wouldn't really want to be declared a bankrupt.

$1.8 million in fines dished out by Police at today's freedom rally in Melbourne, over $200 arrests. Rubber bullets and tear gas fired to disperse them, probably another spreading event.

One thing I haven't seen before Vicpol have a dedicated US-style  SWAT helicopter in military colours, probably capable of dropping members on lines anywhere at very short notice.

The infection spread because people fled the city and spread it to rural areas, when they should have limited travel even when not in lockdown.

Consequently the rural areas now suffer, people will say you can’t prevent people from travelling for no reason, and they are right.  But, it comes back to personal responsibility, to modify how they lead their lives, throw caution to the wind and it will spread.  Our household has changed many things to ensure minimal exposure to potential infection.  If I have to do a trip anywhere, I carry sufficient fuel for the whole trip, take my own food for the trip and camp in my vehicle in the bush.  My only association with human beings is to carry out the purpose of the trip and go home.   

I store  fuel here that is bought from a village petrol station, not a mainstream city one.  The good part is I don’t get to see many human beings nowadays, what’s not to like 🙂

What you're doing reduces the risk.

There's what people can and should do to protect the country districts, but there's also what acrually happens in the community where a percentage just goes on partying, the nurses still dive home because "they wear PPE", people are still doing holiday trips, in Qld a couple of weeks ago an infected air hostess flew out to Longreach infecting passengers, then the same day infected more on the way up to somewhere like Townsville, so the infection chain can jump to anywhere in a State in hours.

Let me say that as a subscriber to the New England Journal of Medicine for the last 8 years,  I have access to a lot of information that people from the Facebook Journal of Medicine done get 🙂 

I do research work for a GP at medical practice I attend, time they don’t have.

My Oncologist gave me the referral to the NEJM so I could join.

I have selected subjects I research and an an interest in COVID.  I take with a grain of salt the findings published in mainstream media and social media

That's good to hear; I was trying to educate someone else fixated on the "Chinavirus"
