Coronavirus / Covid-19 Global Pandemic

[Andrew Walker]

2021 off to a great start with the news that Julian Assange, thanks to some dexterous British judicial gamesmanship, will not be cast into the talons of the Eagle. Possibly the most courageous Aussie ever was abandoned by our craven media which, by comparison, pulled out all stops for a bogan empty head from the Gold Coast caught red handed with a boogie board bursting with drugs. Bravo Julian you emerge from the darkness physically diminished but, hopefully, unbowed no thanks to Scotty nor the gutless ALP. Australian of the year? Deservedly but unlikely.

Agreed PC Best news so far this year. Now to get him home safely.

[QUOTE=Andrew Walker; Agreed PC Best news so far this year. Now to get him home safely.

Unfortunately Andrew I don't see Oz as a safe haven. Both the NLP and the ALP have shown themselves time and again to be toadies of the Great Satan. Neither protested even when the UN rapporteur on human rights proclaimed that JA's treatment amounted to torture. The only guaranteed safe place looks like Russia. He could join up with that other hero Eddy Snowden and, hopefully, give his tormentors more grief.

Tina Louise, who played Ginger, is the only surviving cast member now Mickie. They were all amazing glamorous ladies.

Happy New Year to you and your family also.

Thanks RWB & the same to you.

Lol Paddo! Yes news.com.au and yahoo do my head in with their click bait headlines even a 14 year old year 9 student could write. Massive “surge’, ‘unprecedented event’ , ‘devastating outcome’. Then there’s the ‘NRL star’ does this and ‘cricket legend says that’... What the hell has happened to journalism in this country?

Read a new expression today MR. The term is 'doomscrolling' - refers to the amount of negative articles designed for us to scroll through full of gloom and doom..

Yes RWB I remember hearing that term a few weeks back. On the radio I think. It’s a very apt word to describe the constant doom and gloom headlines in the free online ‘media’ these days.

Hi RT,

Thanks for asking about us here in Sydney. I’m ok as I live near our small local shopping centre so wearing a mask to run errands only takes 10 mins for me at the most as I’ve been getting home delivery and shopping online anyway for years. I did see 3 abandoned masks on the footpath near our block this morning when I went for a walk down to the cliffs before 6.30am. I think people are getting fed up and it certainly can be oppressive. I’m very grateful I can still work from home and our department starts again tomorrow and none of us are expected to travel on public transport carrying laptops etc.

I can’t speak on behalf of Andy nor will I but I am very grateful and happy that he is living close by now as we can never have enough Roosters fans around. There is an actual Rooster in one of the properties behind me and it crows quite often during the day..I’ll take that as a good omen for 2021.

Hope all is well with you in Canberra RT and Happy New Year to you.

Great to hear you are doing ok RWB. I totally get it that people are getting fed up but it really is just a small price to pay in securing our long term freedom from this terrible thing.

No masks here in Canberra but it doesn’t mean we are not affected by it. I hope the affected states can get through it for the sake of themselves and the rest of us who rely on access to those areas.

Thanks to all those doing the right thing.

The gyms can wait, the beaches will still be there and the worlds not going to run out of coffee so mask up... The sooner we all play our part, the sooner we can take part again.

Thanks RT. Just got off a video call with colleagues in Qld and they told me that Toowoomba supermarkets are being stripped even though it's 2 hours away from Brisbane. I have a colleague there plus my 2 elderly aunties on Dad's side, being his sisters, one in her 90's who cannot even speak due to a stroke and another in her 80's and they are housebound anyway. Bloody Queenslanders...I can say that because I was born there..

One case today in NSW. What a glorious day it was here in Sydney. Following the guidelines of NSW health and not those of Rented Tracksuit. The day commenced early with a workout at the gym. Which was half full everyone enjoying their training. After that lunch with my Daughter in a lively little Easter Suburbs cafe. This was followed in the afternoon by a trip to the beach where there were very many people enjoying the water and glorious afternoon sun.
What a day to be alive.

Your a funny bugger.

Goes underground when the shyt hit the fan a couple of weeks ago then resurfaces when things start dying down again. Things are getting better because people are doing what they need to. Was that you in the tele tonight fighting the police because you are such a hard bugger and refuse to wear a mask???

I bet you think Trumpy won the election as well right?

Oh and by the way, if you have been following the guidelines, you have been doing EXACTLY what I said to do. Good to see you’ve been listening! Now just stay on track matey.

LOL RT you bit twice. Should have seen the people at the cafes beaches and gyms yesterday. This morning those walking around the street in masks were nowhere to be seen as well.

I hope it can stay that way AW and I hope you don’t get sick or have a loved one who does.

As for biting twice, it warranted a double take because there were soo many flaws in your post!

I could keep keep going but these no point in arguing with a covidiot!
