Weekend Gab Fest!

October 1, 2021

Hello and good morning!

I was going to say the usual ‘here is an open thread post where you can talk about whatever you like’ but you do that anyway so I suppose I don’t need to bother.

Have a lovely weekend.

    By the way, I know one of these fuckers that went to the GF and he’s an arrogant, entitled stuck up fucker, so the fact that he’s currently holed up in some WA hellhole has me all cut up.

    Apparently, the minimum jail sentence in WA is six months (they don’t bother sending anyone to prison for less than that).


    You used to bring me roses, I wish you would again.
    But that was on the outside, and things were different then.

    Okay then, let’s talk about how, just nine weeks ago, Daniel Andrews smugly boasted how Sydney should be doing “everything we did”.

    Yes. Who could disagree that Dan is the champion
    * It’s medical advice, no I mean police advice, no I mean I made it up myself
    * You can die from golf
    * Stay the course
    * A one week lockdown
    * We’ve got this
    * Blah, blah, blah Sydney, blah, Sydney, blah
    * It is wicked

    Sounds sensible, so sure to drive greenies out of their trees.

    A planned new generation of mini nuclear reactors could protect Britain from future energy crises.

    Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is poised to approve funding for British engineering giant Rolls-Royce to create a fleet of mini-reactors.

    Ministers are understood to have adopted a ‘change of focus’ towards nuclear power amid the current crisis caused by rocketing global wholesale gas prices.

    Big overreach by Andrews. He’s just mandated(!) the vaccine for all authorised workers i.e. everyone who is working not from home. Up until now there have been creeping mandates in the health industry, then the construction industry – against which there was substantial pushback. These orders cover everyone including police.

    If any of these refuse to be vaccinated they will not be allowed to work (he doesn’t say who is supposed to enforce these orders). I sense a huge backlash.

  12. October 1, 2021 12:35 pm

    ahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahaaaa!!

    So the word on the street is that Gladys is going to resign at 1pm!

    I couldn’t give a fuck about Gladys (I’ve hardly ever mentioned her, if at all). If she’s found guilty of something she should face the consequences. But you’re the one obsessed by her (for example the previous three threads were devoted to her). I’m an unashamed Andrews critic and I’ll leave Berejiklian to you.

    Australia has dismissed the European Union’s move to delay trade talks following the government’s decision to tear up a French submarine deal.

    The way Australia handled the cancellation in favour of nuclear-powered technology under the AUKUS pact has angered European leaders.

    Finance Minister Simon Birmingham played down the EU’s move to push back negotiations for a free trade agreement with Australia by a month.

    Lying frog:

    “Everything I have told you is confirmed by the letter I received on 15 September from the Australian ministry of defence that said everything is OK let’s continue,” Mr Le Drian told a parliamentary hearing in France. “Someone lied.”

    Actual letter:

    Yet treasonous sumbags, driven by their utter hatred of Scummo, are prepared to sell out their country and side with the lying Frogs.

    Scummo has done plenty of bad things. But those fuckwits among us who, every fucking time no matter the rights or wrongs of the situation, reflexively bash our government and sympathise with regimes who would do us harm demonstrate only their own gutless stupidity and lack of principle.

    What a dumb leftist cunt sounds like:

    Premier Daniel Andrews has taken a dig at NSW over its handling of the current Covid-19 outbreak, saying his government’s “ring of steel” around Melbourne during the second wave last year “protected the whole country”.

    Announcing the state’s lockdown would be extended for another seven days on Tuesday, Mr Andrews also pointed out that he acted quickly to avoid the situation in Sydney.

    ”Avoiding a NSW-style long, lengthy, very challenging lockdown where we lose control of cases, we have avoided that,” he said.

    Just a week ago, the Premier was arrogantly verballing New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian over the Sydney outbreak, saying, ‘A ring of steel will work, it will, and that’s why I called for it’.

    Yet Daniel Andrews pig-headedly refuses to take his own advice and follow through with a proportionate, localised response here in Victoria.

    The matters addressed in this correspondence do not provide any authorisation to continue work or for the reimbursement of that work under (the) Core Work Scope 1 (contract)

    You missed a bit from the letter, the Guardian has it (I can read that one)

    other than in accordance with References A, B and C.”
    Reference B means the submarine design contract, but references A and C were blacked out by the FOI decision maker, apparently to protect “trade secrets or commercially valuable information”.

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/02/australia-told-french-submarine-firm-it-didnt-have-green-light-to-proceed-hours-before-deal-cancelled

    So, sounds like business as usual really.

    It will be interesting how much those (allegedly) “lying frogs”? decide to sue the average taxpayer for?

    Independent Senator Rex Patrick, a submariner and defence industry expert, said the French Government’s Naval Group had been many months behind schedule and had repeatedly missed key contractual milestones.

    That meant Australia had been fully entitled to exit the contract “on the basis of non-performance”, and so minimising costs to taxpayers.

    Instead, Morrison’s explosive September 16 move, which blindsided France, means Australia has exercised a “termination for convenience” clause – in a move which is expected to cost Australia hundreds of millions of dollars more in additional fees, charges and penalties.

    Don’t forget a fish rots from the head. Andrews is giving police command the “rules” to enforce, and chief commissioner Shane Patton is relishing it. That’s not to say these coppers aren’t loving it too. Not sure the last time there was an actual riot, but the riot squad must be loving the chance to wear their shields and helmets and beat up a few plebs.

    5 JUNE 2021

    A new study published today highlights the importance of a ‘go hard, go early,’ strategy when it comes to responding to growing outbreaks of COVID-19 in Australia.

    According to the lead author, Professor Tom Kompas at the University of Melbourne, Victoria’s current snap lockdown is the correct approach.

    “Our work shows that what Victoria is currently doing, with its ‘circuit-breaker‘ lockdown is exactly the right thing to do,” Professor Kompas said …

    Before agreeing to anything, the Biden administration sought assurances from Australia that its decision to abandon the French contract was a fait accompli and not dependent on U.S. actions, a senior State Department official told Axios.
    Even after Australia assured the U.S. that this was the case, Biden expressed concerns about moving forward due to the deal’s implications for nuclear nonproliferation — if Australia was permitted to obtain sensitive nuclear propulsion technology, who else could claim an exception?
    The Australians told the Americans in June that they had all but told France that they were pulling the plug, both in writing and in direct conversations between Macron and Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison, according to two sources familiar with the assurances.

    hmm

    But that radio interview may have even piqued IBAC’s interest.

    Even though the link above shows it was the libs who initiated the complaint. Doesn’t this ‘journalist’ know anything?

    Previously, Andrews had said he had not been spoken to by IBAC. But on Wednesday he said he was not in a position to “confirm or otherwise” if the anti-corruption watchdog had interviewed him or his office.
    It’s an awkward situation for the Premier, or anyone assisting IBAC, because it can be an offence to reveal if IBAC has spoken to you. For its part IBAC does not confirm investigations.

    So, everything is pure assumption, isn’t it?

    So, tosy, perhaps you can put on record for the slower ones, what is he or isn’t he under investigation for? A tape that is alleged by his political opponents? One that there is no evidence for, just repeated (every election it seems) accusations made?

    I wonder, does he have a kitchen renovation from 20 years ago they haven’t uncovered yet?

    I mean, it’s not like he’s a Premier who:

    • had a secret relationship with one of her ministers;
    • covered up and lied about it;
    • awarded millions of dollars in grants for his business interests, while still involved with him;
    • instructed her office to shred documents that may have provided evidence of her wrongdoing;
    • when first questioned by ICAC (in 2020) about these dealings, repeated that she couldn’t recall details more than 150 times; and then
    • freely decided to resign rather than simply stand aside (as other premiers have done) while the corruption allegations against her are investigated.

    is it?

    Must be a massive system – or they’ve been ripped off (or transport may be the issue – who fkn knows) …

    You do know, that ON grid solar systems, generate power for use on the GRID and thus owners are paid for that energy?

    I just checked – we have generated: 21.5 Kw today on a 4.5Kw system (22 panels)

    Our average daily consumption is: 8.5Kw

    Therefor saleable power: 13Kw a day

    System is now at least seven years old and we have never paid a bill since it was installed.

    We amortised the cost over three years.

    It is not “too good to be true”. It simply is … true

    Based on the numbers above we should earn in the vicinity of $2500 – $2700 this year alone.

    He is off-grid so the system has to be big enough to supply all electricity needs. Washing machine, fridge, air conditioning etc. The batteries were a major part of the cost. He told me the total cost was $25,000. He does have a lot of batteries.

    Also i doubt you paid the full cost for your system even though it would be smaller than my relatives. The true cost of solar is buried by all the govt subsidies it receives. Plus the cost of disposal in not included in solar costs. Because solar cell recycling is so expensive apparently in Australia the used solar panels are just buried in the ground. Buried used solar panels create environmental problems

    Do you think it is a reasonable interpretation of the rules to say that he can go running but must wear a mask because although running, he is more than 5k from home?

    It’s an impossible ‘interpretation of the rules, which clearly state exercise within 5kms of your home. He wasn’t wearing a mask either so ….. interpret that away

    And now, he’s out drinking beer while standing, which is also a clear breach of the rules.

    Of course, he will let himself off. That’s what they do. I’ll just highlight again those who assumed that would be Andrews play, when all along, it’s what the religious nutjob is doing.

    You’ve gone well beyond stupid on this one, Troll R.

    It is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of the rules to allow people who go to work more than 5k away to do incidental stuff at lunchtime like go for a walk or jog. If they are doing exercise they should not have to wear a mask.

    It is a stupid interpretation of the rules to say that you can go to work more than 5k away, but cannot do anything else while you are there – like go out for a jog or a walk or to eat or to have a coffee.

    Courts interpret rules to avoid stupid outcomes. Polticised idiots such as yourself interpret rules to score political points, the stupider the better, apparently.

    “I’ll wait for YoM, ToSY and Rectum to demand his immediate resignation.”

    This is hilarious:

    NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has been photographed standing up while drinking in a bar in an apparent breach of health orders but his office insists the bar wasn‘t open and the photo op was simply at the request of media outlets.

    I think Perro is crazy brave. He’s adopted what I think is a high-risk strategy in prioritising opening up. I hope it works – otherwise he could be a short-lived premier. OTOH, if he wins another term for the Libs he will be a legend.

    I’ll cut him some slack for now, but if he encourages the pigs to bash citizens or if our hospitals are overrun then he will deserve a good hammering.

    TB, even by your standards that reply is incoherent. However, I will try again to explain matters to you, again.

    You said “3. Courts don’t interpret rules.”

    I gave you a list of categories of rules – all of which will be interpreted by courts in appropriate circumstances.

    You then said, of a case I linked to, that:

    “your links relate to court cases based on laws … not rules

    Funnily enough, in that same case, the court said the following:

    The allegations in form 10, which was part of the Order in Council enacting the 1975 rules, prescribe requirements for admission as effectively as if they were set out seriatim in r.38. The Supreme Court interpreted these provisions in the same way as it had interpreted the corresponding provisions of the 1896 rules

    Did you not read the judgment? Did you not understand it?

    Try intelligent discussion for a change.

    ****

    Now, to put matters into perspective you stuck your bib into a conversation I was having with Tom R concerning the interpretation of particular rules. Those particular rules were the Covid 19 rules in force in NSW. Those rules are contained in Public Health (COVID-19 General) Order 2021(as a mended). The Public Health order is an instrument of Minister Hazard under the Public Health Act 2010.

    If parties to a dispute about the meaning of the rules contained in the Public Health Order bring that matter to a court, the court will interpret those rules. For example, if somebody contests a fine, arguing that their conduct was permitted by the rules, the court will interpret the rules and examine the conduct.

    When applying the rules, the police are bound by the Court’s interpretation of them.

    So, TB, your unqualified statement that “3. Courts don’t interpret rules”:

    1. Is wrong as a general proposition. Courts regularly interpret rules of many types.

    2. Is also wrong in the specific case you were referring to when you made your idiotic comment.

    TB, it is no real surprise to see you look to your fellow Chimp, Neil, for support. Given that he is more stupid than you, no good will come of it.

    In particular, your statement “Cops interpret “rules” not judges …” is classic.

    I assume you meant “Cops, not judges, interpret rules …….”. But that statement is equally nonsensical.

    As usual, you have got this one completely arse-up. Let me explain it to you.

    1. Cops are part of the executive branch of government. The “rules” they enforce are laws.

    2. If there is a dispute as to the meaning of such a rule the cops may take a view, but ultimately it is a judge who will interpret that rule. The cop then must give effect to the rule as interpreted by the judge.

    If cops use their discretion to enforce something that is not a law then they are likely guilt of illegal behaviour.

    For example if a cop arrested TB for being an opinionated old bastard who is utterly incapable of ever admitting he his wrong, TB would have an action for wrongful arrest. Not because the description is inaccurate, but because there is no such law.

    “What if they don’t enforce something?”

    They do this all the time. There are more laws than police. Police prioritise which laws they enforce. There will always be laws that are not enforced or rarely enforced.

    This is how the AFP approach this issue:

    While the AFP has primary responsibility for investigating criminal offences against the Commonwealth, it does not have the resources to investigate all reports.

    To ensure that limited resources are directed to the matters of highest priority, the AFP evaluates all matters in accordance with its Case Categorisation and Prioritisation Model (CCPM).

    The CCPM is important in giving effect to Ministerial Directions to the AFP and the AFP’s Outcome/Output Statement. It is also a valuable tool for the AFP in making decisions to accept, reject, terminate, finalise or provide resources to operational matters.

    It helps the AFP to compare and evaluate its operations from a range of perspectives, including across agencies, regions (geographic location) or teams (work groups). The CCPM also provides the AFP’s clients with a basis for considering issues before referring them to the AFP.

    TB, you are going full drongo Neil on me here. Usually at this point I wouldn’t bother replying. I’ve told you once. Either you’ve completely missed the points I’m making or you don’t want to address them in a logical way. However, out of respect for you I will give it one last go.

    As a general comment you understand the legal system about as well as a half-baked bush-lawyer, which is to say not very well at all.

    “Politicians (parliament) passes laws and “attach” regulations”

    Parliament enacts legislation. That legislation becomes law when assented to by the Crown. Parliament does not “attach” regulations. What parliament also does is delegate power to make rules and regulations (which have the force of law) to the executive branch or, occasionally, to the judicial branch.

    An example of delegation of rule-making power to the executive branch is the power granted under the Public Health Act 2010. Where the Minister considers on reasonable grounds that a situation has arisen that is, or is likely to be, a risk to public health, section 7 of the Public Health Act empowers the Minister to, by order, give such directions as the Minister considers necessary to deal with the risk and its possible consequences.

    In fact, as I have pointed out to you previously, the rules Tom R and I were discussing and which you then commented on are rules made under this legislation.

    An example of delegation to the judicial branch is the power given to judges under the various state Supreme Court Acts to make the Supreme Court Rules.

    “never heard a judge refer to breaking “rules” …”

    So, TB is the measure of all things. If TB hasn’t heard it it can’t be true.

    Actually TB, nobody gives a flying fuck what you’ve never heard. How many of the thousands of judgments which interpret rules have you even read? Try reading this case where the courts interpret the rules of the NSWRL to determine if they have anti-competitive effect.

    Now, let’s get back to your original proposition that “Courts don’t interpret rules”. It is sad that you are constitutionally unable to admit you are wrong. Because that statement is irretrievably ignorant and totally wrong.

    It is wrong as a general proposition. And it is wrong as to the specific rules Tom R and I were discussing when you stuck your bib in.

    No doubt my attempt to educate you will only result in dismissive sneers from you. That is your MO these days.

    However, if you want to better yourself, rather than to descend into irascible senility, I implore you take a bit of time to educate yourself on the matters presently under discussion. You’ll know you are making progress when you can bring yourself to admit that your original proposition that “Courts don’t interpret rules” is wrong – and you can agree that courts often interpret all types of rules.

    “Again, I am not having a go at Sydney, but they are only about half the number of deaths and in deaths per capita the Victorian lead is even greater.”

    Massaging his crotch, the Victorian premier chortled “Victoria leads the nation, not only in Covid deaths but also in vindictive police brutality and irrational measures that destroy the mental health of young people.”

    With a voice quivering with emotion the noble Stairman continued: “Victoria is the world leader in lockdown repression, something I’m very proud of. In fact I’m honoured to be rated above my idol President Xi in this particular index of totalitarian vigour.”

    This is a much more mundane question, ivi, you old fascinator.

    The question is whether there are cases where Hercules, in order to reach a decision, makes findings as to the meaning of rules. It matters not whether he has found the right meaning or even whether it is possible to do so. Nor does it matter on what basis Hercules chooses to exercise any leeways of choice open to him in interpreting those rules.

    There are such cases, some of which I’ve linked to above. TB’s assertion that “courts don’t interpret rules” is wrong. But he can’t bring himself to admit it.

    Hope everyone is safe and well…except scaper; hope he’s languishing at the bottom of a Crapperville mineshaft, beclouded with drosophila, yelling at the turgid sky overhead.

    Has anyone been watching Squid Game…?

    Haha

    I have.

    I told my agricultural (actually very liberal/progressive) brother to watch it…he said his 14yo had watched the whole thing before he’d even heard of it.

    I had to kill the English overdub.

    I loved the gratuitous violence and the inferences throughout.

    “If any of these refuse to be vaccinated they will not be allowed to work (he doesn’t say who is supposed to enforce these orders). I sense a huge backlash.”

    It’s a couple of weeks later now.

    How’s the backlash going? Serious question.

    I work with some antivaxxers. They get angry if you want to talk about it, usually only prompted by them…they have no defensible rationalisations…their opinions against are VERY strong…

    however, I think we will see a diminishing stridence once employment is genuinely threatened.

    I am very interested in this…how has it panned out in the more vociferously mandated states so far?

    I suspect only genuine unhinged will hold out, in the end.

    Hi HD, I’m pro vaccination, and I wear a tee shirt that ridicules anti vaxers, so far people have been conversational and humorous about it!
    I’m planing on wearing it to the anti vaxer capital soon, and seeing what type of reaction I get there!

    What Tom R is really saying-
    Ok, you’ve proved my comment was bullsh*t, but I demand you prove it was double bullsh*t…or even triple!
    Hilarious!!

    What Tom R is really saying- is ……… yomm can’t say ‘Thanks for saving my life Dan”

    Because all of those cities (in other countries) have had higher death rates 😉

    Tom R trys to make a cheap point about the world’s longest lockdown, but fails miserably because (in his rush to be a smart @rse) he doesn’t bother with annoying stuff like “details”

    Onya.

    I have a great t-shirt…science vs fiction, which I also wear.

    Less people around here, I suppose, but not much challenge for me.

    Squid Game is sensational, watched it with the original Korean voiceover and English subs. (It’s a cultured thing). Besides, I can’t stand dubbed American accents where everyone sounds the same.

    With Melbourne coming out of lockdown what are YoM and ToSY gonna whinge about now?

    Why didn’t this end sooner?

    Why did Dan insist on saving so many lives closing libraries?

    I wonder whether anyone seriously thinks the government will plead contest the 58 charges due to the negligence that caused Melbourne to experience the longest lockdown in the world

    Lockdown (partially) ending even with another 1,903 cases. (We started this 7-day lockdown with just 40 cases.)

    A big thanks to Dom Perrottet for leading the way and shaming Dan into (ever so slightly) loosening his grip on the emergency powers he granted himself.

    but fails miserably because yomm cannot face the fact of the lives saved. Take Adelaide out of my fuck up, and then go with it yomm 😉

    Dan’s polling has not changed

    Says Dan’s No 1 Bot. Where’s the evidence of that?

    Dan’s roadmap to reopen pre-dates both Dom Perrottet becoming premier and Sydney reopening

    But this is not that roadmap. This is a changed roadmap, hastily introduced *after* those two events.

    I only need to demonstrate one case of your bulls*t to prove your comment is bullsh*t.
    But you’re welcome to prove all those other cases are correct.

    er, the roadmap was always for when a certain percentage were vaccinated, and on advice from the modelling reflecting that

    I freely admitted I fucked up. I’ll now just say ‘the vast percentage’ of those cities.

    And that will stay, ungratefully saved citizen 😉

    er, educate yourself! There are six major changes that were not in the original roadmap at 70%. (Go to Vic DHHS website. (I can’t link – this site won’t allow me to format atm.)
