GHISLAINE “JIZZ” MAXWELL FACES LIFE BEHIND BARS AFTER GUILTY VERDICT!

British socialite Ghislaine “Jizz” Maxwell has been found guilty of sex trafficking.
In what was described as the “trial of the century”, the jury heard how Maxwell lured girls as young as 14 for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse and even joined in the abuse herself.
After six days of deliberation, a jury of six men and six women found the British socialite guilty on five of six counts.
- Count one – GUILTY: Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
- Count two – NOT GUILTY: Enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
- Count three – GUILTY: Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity
- Count four – GUILTY: Transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity
- Counts five – GUILTY: Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors
- Count six – GUILTY:Sex trafficking of minors
Maximum sentences for each charge
- Count one – maximum sentence of five years
- Count two – (not guilty) maximum sentence of five years
- Count three – maximum sentence of five years
- Count four – maximum sentence of 10 years
- Counts five – maximum sentence of five years
- Count six – maximum sentence of 40 years
She now faces a sentence of up to 65 years in prison.
VERDICT SPELLS BAD NEWS FOR PRINCE ANDREW

A legal source connected with Maxwell’s case told The Gutter Trash a guilty verdict in the case could spell trouble for the beleaguered royal.
“This could be bad news for Prince Andrew and other high-profile men who hung out with Ghislaine and Jeffrey Epstein,” the source said.
“It is possible she will begin to cooperate and tell what she knows in an attempt to lessen her jail term.
“We know that prosecutors are looking at other co-conspirators in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex ring.
“Ghislaine undoubtedly possesses information which could assist prosecutors in other cases. If she decides to co-operate, her testimony could be devastating.
“She was Epstein’s right-hand woman for years, imagine what she knows?”

You cannot chose your relatives but you can chose your friends. That Prince Andrew was friends with Epstein says a lot.
I blame the Duchess of Sussex …
If Andy gets out of this it may just prove to more people the hypocrisy of “born to rule” by god or otherwise …
What is astounding is the number of photos they took …
And “Jizz’s” (Jizz???) lawyers are already setting up an “appeal” …
Is what she did worse than murder? The victims live in hell … at least in purgatory … at least a lifetime of PTSD!

So Prince Andrew is a scumbag. So what?? Do we get rid of Parliament because it is composed of scumbags??
What’s with the (dated) German Flag TB?
Looks like Bill Clinton and the others in the “little black book” (which has been sealed by the Court) will skate. This time the Clinton’s good fortune was at the hands of Jim Comey’s daughter. She is the second generation of Comey to loyally serve the Klintoon Crime Syndicate. Jim had previously written the DoJ opinion saying “nothing to see here” about Bill’s pardon of mega donor Mark Rich. It was also Jim who excused Crooked’s criminal server shenanigans – even though it was up to the A-G to decide whether to bring charges, not the head of the FBI.
While it would be good if a few of the perverts were charged and jailed, it would be even better if the real reason Epstein and Maxwell were compromising world leaders became known.
It would be nice to think that Ghislaine would sing, but she will no doubt be aware of the suicide of the senior partner in Hilary’s law firm before he was due to give evidence of Crooked’s wrongdoing. She would acutely aware of Epstein’s “suicide” and also of Seth Rich’s murder.
It’s funny that whenever information about the rich and powerful is about to be leaked there is a convenient death or suicide. Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the infamous DC Madam, committed suicide before she made her client list public. It seems that when the good and the great are involved (or even just Hunter Biden) inconvenient facts never see the light of day.

I gather that Marque lawyers ae dedicated ALP arse-lickers. No surprise there – leftism is the religion of the upper middle classes these days. In addition, most of the legal profession are hideous pricks. That is what they get paid to do – win at all costs. But a few of them try to pretend that they are decent and interesting people.
This particular specimen, Michael Bradley, at least does a good line in self-deprecating humour:
Bradley casts himself as a writer and a lawyer. This is somewhat of a trend among lawyers with enough self-awareness to realise that law is a profession of dickheads and feel the need to try to humanise themselves take this specimen for example:
One look at the insufferable twerp may well result in neck injury as you jerk your head away from his nauseatingly smug countenance.
And this one looks to be truly special:

Indeed.
Plot twist, the hapless PM who failed to order enough vaccines, neglected to order enough test kits.
Who could’ve seen this coming.
Who could’ve seen this coming.
Not enough voters 😦
The Pfizer vaccine was not approved for use until January 2021. And the Astrazeneca did not get approval for use until February 2021 by the TGA
Plus some people wonder why we should get vaccines ahead of many more needy countries.
Take personal responsibility. Protect yourself. Buy your own RAT. But perhaps not your own gun?
(After all, Government can’t provide finite resources to satisfy infinite demand – and everyone knows that if RATS are free everyone will test themselves every morning and every night and frequently during the day.)
And this is what passes for public policy debate here in Australia. (And did you know that ALBO is a communist?)

And what would Labor do different???
Differently …
In a pandemic? Put people over profit …
And what would Labor do different?
They would have implemented Jobkeeper in the manner they pitched it to the libs, by paying the workers, not the employers, and not pissing $38Billion away to profitable companies.
And, they would not be taking money away from from medicare at a time when it’s needed the most.
In short, they would have done the same as they did during the GFC, and done what is best for the country, not what is best for their donors.
So Djokovic has a medical reason to be unvaccinated and can pop over to play tennis.
That should give great confidence to everyone that lost their jobs over vaccination.
Thanks Dan
“Just demonstrates iggorance in so many ways!”
Yes. Yours.
In a pandemic? Put people over profit …
One of the trademarks of socialists is that they do not care about people. The say they do but they do not.
So Dan now issues visas? Or don’t tennis players need same?
Apparently its was Aus Tennis (??) after a “rigorous” two panel assessment … neither medical based on ATIGA “rules”

Um, yeah, I still can’t really discern any differences in emphases between, say, polities, and their public policies, looking to provide basic ‘universal healthcare’ and more sophisticated healthcare policies (in)effectively amounting to ‘where there is no doctor’, for whatever proffered privative (un)reason(s), in the midsts of a (not-(yet-)’endemic(ked)’) pandemic, either.)

I am interested in your comment but i do not understand it
But socialists do not care about people. They only care about themselves
It is a 2 step process, the final clearance is by the state government

Tennis Australia said players seeking an exemption went through a two-stage process, with their application first considered by a panel of experts in Tennis Australia, and then an assessment from the Victorian government
Yep … just ‘cos he’s a rich prick?
I am interested in your comment but i do not understand it

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has changed tack and is calling on the Morrison government to make rapid antigen tests free.

People can’t legally enter Australia without a visa which is issued by the Federal government. It’s the feds that have the power. See Section 51 of the Constitution if in any doubt.
Regardless, people’s trust in representative government (including concept of) is further eroded. And at a time when the need for effective collective action, via government, is badly needed.
One wonders what KIA must be thinking? Perhaps the Movement that inspires will be given new meaning(s)?
Nothing like the metaphorical dogshit on your boot to prompt a rethink.
The state government controls regulation of workplace safety and health, including vaccination mandates
So Rod Simms from the ACCC is going to name and shame those suppliers and retailers we consider to be doing the wrong thing .
https://insideretail.com.au/business/accc-ready-to-name-and-shame-retailers-over-rapid-antigen-prices-202201
No ‘legal action’? Only adverse publicity? Perhaps the ACCC don’t have the power?
Nevertheless, perhaps this naming and shaming Principle can be universalised ? So, in the future, bank robbers, thugs, con-men et al will suffer the indignity of being named and shamed but not fined nor imprisoned? There the legal jeopardy will all end? QED.
Guess it will solve this problem of deaths in custody . But maybe not.
As seen from afar.

But perhaps they might have benefitted from more philosophy and a tinge of sociology?
sociology don’t mention socialist!!!! Or any connection … Kneel will have a conniption!
Always interesting to see how Morrison chooses his words so very carefully.
Morrison was asked about the decision to grant Djokovic an exemption on Wednesday and pinned responsibility on the Victorian government.
“Well, that is a matter for the Victorian government. They have provided him with an exemption to come to Australia, and so we then act in accordance with that decision,”
Does that mean that if refugees get an exemption from a State then Morrison will act in accordance with that decision?
After all Morrison also said – that’s how it works.

Does that mean that if refugees get an exemption from a State then Morrison will act in accordance with that decision?
I guess the Federal govt has jurisdiction in some areas and not in others.

You could say — its – ironic …
Re: guess the Federal govt has jurisdiction in some areas and not in others.
That’s a pretty good guess.
Here’s a summary of sorts re Section 51 of the Constitution
Section 51 of the Constitution of Australia enumerates the legislative powers granted to Federal Parliament by the Australian States at Federation. … Australian States may still enact legislation upon the topics in section 51; but Federal law prevails to the extent of any conflict of laws.
Further. Glad to see an interest in how government(s) (broadly defined) actually works. There are 39 subsections, each referred to as a ‘head of power’ under which the national parliament is empowered to make laws.
Eventually they catch up …

Ah ,,, missed the Morrison “egg” …
“Universal free access to tests was not agreed by any of the states and territories today,” Mr Morrison said.
Clearly Neil is a socialist of sorts because he acknowledges that he knows not all and therefore relies on others to fill the epistemological gaps.
He ought to be congratulated! Better late than never.
Go Novak! He’s won the Australian open so many times we should make him an honorary Australian!
Yes for Novak, Christmas has come early this year in so many senses.
Many Orthodox Christians (including Serbian Orthodox) annually celebrate Christmas Day on or near January 7 to remember Jesus Christ’s birth, described in the Christian Bible. This date works to the Julian calendar that pre-dates the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly observed.
So he possibly regards this visa as a miracle.
For tax purposes, Novak is a resident of Monaco (since 2000) but he revered in Belgrade and Serbia more generally as any visitor soon finds out.
Another example of the incompetence of the Andrews government
He ought to be congratulated! Better late than never.
Love it! LOL! Keep dem cards and letters comin’, Di … that’s what makes da show!
Another example of the incompetence of the Andrews government
Wot? Duh!

Also another example of the incompetence of the Morrison government?
Or is a double standard being employed?
But there is plenty of odium to be shared around.
Or …
Is Morrison the Prime Minister … he should know now! Before Djokovic reaches Australia!
FFS! Morrison is just a political puppet!* He’s playing with Djokovic and every Aussie voter what a Goose!

*I’ve met Senior Managers like this and wondered … how the fuck did you get here?
The state government requested the exemption.
Incompetent
From TB’s link a “Karen” gives voice. Probably read the constitution.
“it is the Commonwealth Government that will enforce our requirements at the Australian border.”
Seems like Morrison’s Ministers don’t listen to the one that elevated them. Will the female Andrews be gone in the morning?
Or has Morrison lost control?
Is the government on the point of collapse? So many internal contradictions.
Is this Divine intervention? A miracle? Personal responsibility evaporates?
“Well you obviously aren’t!”
I’m a proud Australia man!
“Is the government on the point of collapse?”
Possibly, were it not for the fact that the opposition is led by that truculent turd Eachway Albo.
The state government requested the exemption.
Dare I ask …. you have a LINK?
“The state government requested the exemption.”
Oh dear YoM, here’s a tissue to wipe that egg off your face.. 😆
Perhaps Tom was duped?
By the middle of next week, it’s likely that the use of RATs will be compulsory. On the hour, every hour from morn to night.
And is it true that Novak will be assigned volunteer Croatian bodyguards? Or will he request deportation?
Well i found this about the Victorian govts role in getting Novak Djokovic in to Australia
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-04/novak-djokovic-says-received-an-exemption-to-enter-australia/100738536
The statement said Djokovic had received the exemption following “a rigorous review process involving two separate independent panels of medical experts.”
“One of those was the Independent Medical Exemption Review Panel appointed by the Victorian Department of Health. They assessed all applications to see if they met the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) guidelines,” the statement read……..
But Djokovic received a reprieve last month when Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and Tennis Australia moved to have an independent panel established to preside over requests for a medical exemption against having the COVID-19 vaccination.
Hilarious!! After the state government supported the medical exemption for Djokovic, he has the wrong visa and is now being deported!
What a complete debacle for Dan… again!
Dear oh dear, someone has a reading comprehension problem. From the provided link, yes the Victorian government and Tennis Australia co-operated in finding ways for Novak to be allowed entry into a tennis tournament. But they have (and never had) any power over the granting of a particular (and peculiar) visa – required for entry into Australia.
See above re Section 51 of the Constitution
Someone wasn’t paying attention in school.
Someone doesn’t understand the process of approval
For those slow on the uptake…
Less than 24 hours ago Morrison said Novak’s visa wasn’t his responsibility, today apparently it is. He must have whiplash from the constant backflips.
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
“Someone doesn’t understand the process of approval”
Talking about yourself in the ‘third person’ now YoM…? 😆
Journalist:
“How did Djokovic get an exemption to come into Australia?”
Morrison:
“We’ll that is a matter for the Victorian govt, they have provided him with an exemption”
Fact: Morrison asked Victoria 3 times to apply for a travel exemption – they declined.
Did you read the link Neil provided? Try that and get back to me
Tom – stop digging. You’re already in way above your head.
And take your own advice and really read the link Neil provided. It’s an own goal.
A state government authority supported the medical exemption. Is that correct?
Yes the State government supported a medical exemption re the Australian Open. It reads:
The Australian Open confirmed Djokovic had received a medical exemption in a statement released late on Tuesday night
When are we allowing a sporting organisation to determine who gets a visa (or not)? Tiley runs a tennis tournament not a government. Australian government are run by Murdoch. LOL.
For the slow ones…
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
So the Federal Govt granted the visa then 24 hours later revoked it when the State Labor govt said they wouldn’t support the medical exemption.
So what’s your objection to my comment?
A state government authority supported the medical exemption.
Then it turns out that he didn’t meet the federal visa requirements
The last time I looked, YOU CAN’T ACTUALLY ENTER THE COUNTRY IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE CORRECT VISA.
Nevertheless, the Federal govt allowed him to enter the country then asked the State Labor govt to provide a medical exemption which they declined.
Let me just post this for the third time and see if it sinks in….
“We’ve always been clear on two points: visa approvals are a matter for the Federal Government, and medical exemptions are a matter for doctors.”

Yes, it’s Dan’s medical panel and Tennis Australia

Did Djokovic, “legally” enter the “country” – wasn’t he stopped at the border? And is awaiting either deportation or a successful High Court Appeal …
Whatever … but Mother Morrison has done it again … said one thing … seen the public backlash (read politics in the light of an upcoming election) and pissed off another foreign government … you’d think the place was run by a bunch of escaped convicts …
Australian government are run by Murdoch. LOL.
Funny, Di … definitely LOL!
Hilarious!
Morrison also read part of a letter sent by the health minister, Greg Hunt, to Tennis Australia in November making clear that a previous infection was not grounds for quarantine-free entry into Australia.
“People must be fully vaccinated, as defined by Atagi, to gain quarantine-free entry into Australia,” the letter of 29 November said.
“This means that people who do not meet the Atagi definition of fully vaccinated will not be approved for quarantine-free entry, regardless of whether they have received foreign vaccination exemptions.
“In relation to your specific question, I can confirm that people who contracted Covid within six months and seek to enter Australia from overseas, and have not received two doses of a TGA approved or recognised vaccine … are not considered fully vaccinated.”
Yes, it’s Dan’s medical panel
This has another of morrisons pathetic attempts to embarrass Andrews all over it, reminiscent of the’we offered them hotel security’ vibe all over it.
While Tennis Australia and the Victorian government gave Djokovic an exemption to play at the Australian Open, apparently on the basis of a decision by two independent panels of medical experts who applied the exemption rules developed by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, that does not determine the right to enter Australia.

Novak Djokovic’s visa cancellation and possible deportation has become a scarifying issue for Australian sport and the federal government, a political break point thanks to the inattention and ignorance of the prime minister, Scott Morrison.
On Wednesday, he duck-shoved responsibility for the world No 1 being allowed into Australia unvaccinated.
“Well, that is a matter for the Victorian government. They have provided him with an exemption to come to Australia, and so we then act in accordance with that decision,” he told reporters, clearly not knowing what he was talking about.
By Thursday, he had been educated on the matter and announced in muscular fashion it was a federal government matter, and the Serbian was out – one of the highest-profile figures ever to be punted from Australia.
The home affairs minister, Karen Andrews, might have been Morrison’s educator on the matter, as she issued a statement – headed “Australia’s border rules apply to everyone” – contradicting the prime minister’s Wednesday press conference ramble.
“While the Victorian Government and Tennis Australia may permit a non-vaccinated player to compete in the Australian Open, it is the Commonwealth Government that will enforce our requirements at the Australian border,” Andrews said in part of a statement.
Djokovic had a visa to get to Australia. What happened when he got here is one thing, but clearly he boarded an aircraft with Australian-issue credentials saying he had a right to land here.
[Marisse] Payne will be pressed to explain where and how that visa was issued when there are so many restrictions on the travel of vaccinated Australians.

So Tennis Australia and the Victorian govt said he could come. So Djokovic came. When he got here the Feds did not allow him in
Is this true?? If so the whole thing is very confusing.
Novak probably feels ‘ambushed’. If so, then he joins a long list of arrivals who thought Australia (as a legal entity) would honour agreements/conventions/etc historically agreed to by all sides of the ideological divide.
Novak is fortunate he is accommodated in a pub.
Novak is fortunate he is accommodated in a pub.
No free beer and no tennis court tho’, hey?
“If so the whole thing is very confusing.”
It’s quite straightforward Neil…
The Federal Govt is responsible for Australia’s borders and issued Novak a visa to arrive in Australia.
When Novak arrived in Australia with said visa, he was cleared to enter Australia by the Immigration Dept (A Federal Govt entity).
The Federal Govt subsequently decided his visa wasn’t valid.
Whether he sought and/or received an ‘exemption’ from the vaccination requirements in order to play in The Australian Open from Tennis Australia is fairly irrelevant, if the Aus Federal Govt decided his visa was no longer valid, then he should not have been allowed to enter the country in the first place.
This is a Federal Govt balls up, but some people can quite seem to grasp it.
Not to mention that on line visas as issued subject your obligation to prove you meet the required conditions.
For example, having the medical documentation and evidence that you claim
“For example, having the medical documentation and evidence that you claim”
Indeed, something the Federal Immigration Dept should have checked when he arrived in Australia.
It seems some people are completely unfamiliar with the process of obtaining an on line visa
The claimed documents are required to be produced at entry, they aren’t attached to the application.
Some people are so unworldly
Some people are so unworldly
And alien …
The claimed documents are required to be produced at entry …
And therein may rest a clue to the whole fracas …
“The claimed documents are required to be produced at entry”
What is it about your own comment you don’t understand?
Its like living in bloody Melbourne here, has been for days … overcast, storms, gusty winds, nasty little showers and I can’t put the last coat of decking oil on my refurbished fkn Jarrah deck!
No wonder the place is swarming with Victorian and NSW number plates … if this is how the poor bastards “live” normally …
This is a Federal Govt balls up, but some people can quite seem to grasp it.
OK what did the Feds do wrong?? Surely it was the State govt who encouraged the guy to come. Are the Feds supposed to tell the guy not to get on a plane to fly here??
Neil re ” Are the Feds supposed to tell the guy not to get on a plane to fly here?”
It begins earlier than that “You should not book flights or make travel commitments until you have a visa to travel to Australia. The department will not be liable for any financial loss incurred by clients whose visa application was finalised later than expected or unsuccessful”
Different rules for different nations.
“Its like living in bloody Melbourne here, has been for days.”
What, you mean there’s suddenly an influx of culture…?
Re Are the Feds supposed to tell the guy not to get on a plane to fly here?
Yep! And they do.
All travellers who are not Australian citizens need to obtain a valid visa or authority to enter Australia. This must be obtained before travelling to Australia.
Different rules for different Nations.
Use to buy a visa at Istanbul airport. Don’t need one for Thailand (first 30 days for free). Vietnam used to be a nightmare as was Russia (even for closets communists).
Novak is poorly advised re appealing to Court(s). Should have gone to Dutton. He can fix things.

I get that. I worked in the USA for a while. I came home and then went back for another year on a different visa. When i arrived in LA i was told by the passport check guy to go into a room and wait. I was then interrogated. It was a scary experience. Anyway it turned out there was nothing wrong with my B visa so they let me in
The Serbian guy had a visa but it was not good enough to get into Australia.
It seems that few here understand how on line visas work. They’re generally issued in good faith, and subject to the holder being able to justify their claims upon entry.
For example, in entering the USA you will usually be issued with an ESTA in the basis of your on line application.
If you say you have no criminal record, they won’t check, but if prior to your arrival they find you have a record, you’ll be denied entry at the gate.
It is always up to the applicant for a visa to satisfy the requirements of the country they plan to visit.
Some here are unable to understand that
How some think visas are processed…

What, you mean there’s suddenly an influx of culture…?
Yeah … anti-vaxxers, back packers, kids in caravans, gray nomads, motorbikes, far right tats and badges … culture – if you say so …
How some think visas are processed…
When did you work there, ToM? Is that Melbourne last year or this?
Don’t they understand that the CCP will be annoyed!!??
Germany has a new Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and a new coalition government has taken charge of Germany with the single mandate of making China’s life miserable

If you wanted to annoy them, wouldn’t you not send any athletes to an Olympic event? They aren’t sending a politician, I’d have thought that would be a win win for any country.

Who’s running all this shit … anyone see organised – “Just Let It Rip”
I blame ToM!
Every Empire Falls look to history!
Unfortunately we seem to be in the wrong empire … in my case – again.
Localities are no longer posted here. Just discovered that a family of four just four doors down are in isolation. One of our grandsons and partner have tested positive.
The lack of info is deafening!
Don’t know about your state but this helps … a bit!

This sounds right:
I’m eligible for a booster right now … we had booked in for the 28th of January … and asked if we could bring that date forward. No, not enough boosters being supplied.
So we tried another surgery. Not until 2nd February, not enough boosters being supplied.
😶
Sounds about right…

TB – try Brighton Health Campus. Arrive at about 3.30pm. Park at Decker Park (just off the Bridge to your left). So left towards Sandgate, then first left to beachfront. Then right (no other option), drive as far as you can – about 3/400 metres – park your car and then walk along beach front to join the ‘walk in’ vaccination line on the right – yes it’s out of sight – but less than 200 metres. Ask someone if unsure).
It will be ‘closed’ for the day (@3.50pm) BUT you will be offered an appointment, probably for the next day. They are working 7 days a week. And at that time of the day they make sure there are no gaps for the morrow.
They have 10 nurses working in the main assembly hall. And they don’t muck around.
Worked well for us and some other neighbours. Possibly just luck. But worth a try.
Only offering Pfizer.
TB – try Brighton Health Campus.
LOL!
Guess where we were this morning!
Boosted … agree they don’t muck around.
Got to the door and Hinchcliffe and D’arth turned up with cameras etc. … held us up for extra 15 minutes … !
This sums up the strategy of profit over people backfired with a bang … (nuclear bang)
And it seems there is a shortage of … wait for it … yep … toillette papier … when will people learn to stock up?
Didn’t toylet tell us there was ample stocks in SA? Oh, bugger but not truck operators …
Pity Australia doesn’t have a decent railway system …
Or a Federal ICAC …
Or water storage infrastructure program …
Or renewable energy program …
Or ………………………………………………
Or a competent Federal Government!
And as an example of slack government … why should unpaid volunteers do the Federal and State governments job for them …
What an ideal project for a true compulsory National Service for high school leavers and/or paid volunteers … any taxes invested would be returned to the economy tenfold (called churning) … even “volunteers” have to live …

Is that you, Scotty?
Daily cases are now irrelevant. The purpose of the vaccine is was to turn covid into the flu. It has succeeded.
We’ve now had more deaths from drowning at the beach than from the omicron variant.
And remember how we had 4000 deaths from the flu and pneumonia in the year before the pandemic.
Get on with other stuff, like kicking Djokovic out
Must watch (NSFW)…

Sure. Tell that to frontline workers or those waiting for a hospital bed for elective surgery.

Tell that to the thousands who have it and the economists.
From a personal point of view … we have an adult family across street with Covid (found out by word of mouth not the government). We have a family member and his partner with Covid (both work in hospitality) … we cancelled last night’s restaurant dinner with friends after they rang to discuss our thoughts.
Queensland is now a different state after opening the borders and letting it rip! RIP may be more ironic that you think.
And toilet paper seems to have whizzed off the supermarket shelves again …
An economy needs people to operate it and feed it … not the other way around …

Includes one of mine …
Another family member was sent home from hospital just before NYE … now waiting to find out what the five specialist are planning … waiting … waiting …
Another family member studying paramedic/nursing double has already volunteered (last year) in regional Queensland for Covid testing and vaccinations and was recently deployed to a large central hospital near Brisbane.
The word SURGE in cases is more than appropriate.
Daily cases are now irrelevant. The purpose of the vaccine is was to turn covid into the flu. It has succeeded.
It seems that more people are getting covid after the population has been vaccinated than before.
We did everything we were asked but got nothing we were promised.
What a couple of tossers.
Overseas, front line workers have been under genuine pressure. Overburdened ICU and having to make decisions about whether to admit patients. That hasn’t happened here.
With 4000 deaths from the flu and pneumonia there was more pressure on the health system a few years ago.
Here, front line health workers have experienced the pressure of the possibility of an outbreak, and the endless media stories about how bad it all is.
“Overseas, front line workers have been under genuine pressure. Overburdened ICU and having to make decisions about whether to admit patients. That hasn’t happened here.”
In that case, is this where you congratulate Dan Andrews for the great job he’s doing running the State Health service?
*Thought not.
“What a complete debacle for Dan… again!”
Looking forward to your next update on why the Novak Djokovic debacle is all Dan Andrews’ fault….
Please do enlighten us. I’m all ears….
Guffaw.
Guffaw. alright … its just wearying ignorance or disenlightenment … reminds me of the antivaxxers who suddenly see the light in ICU …
Has Dan seen off the 58 charges over the hotel quarantine debacle?
Congratulations if he has! But he hasn’t. That’s enjoyment still to ccome
Is there another city that has defeated Melbourne to become the most locked down?
But the reality is that the pressure you claim for the front line health workers is mainly the pressure of expectation, not of a health system in crisis
[Still] Looking forward to your next update on why the Novak Djokovic debacle is all Dan Andrews’ fault….
😆
Remember this from October…Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews doesn’t believe unvaccinated tennis players should be allowed to compete in this summer’s Australian Open.
Now we’ve had his CHO suggesting that catching covid is a substitute for vaccination, as well as his expert medical panel.
But they’re only people on the government payroll, which has nothing to do with Dan’s government
With 4000 deaths from the flu and pneumonia there was more pressure on the health system a few years ago.
From Dec 26 2021 to Jan 8 2022 there have been 176 deaths and almost 700,000 cases (that’s in just 2 Weeks for the slower ones). And that rate is only going to climb. You do the Math! And it’s those case numbers that are bringing our hospitals to their knees (oh, and years of neglect).
https://news.google.com/covid19/map?hl=en-AU&mid=%2Fm%2F0chghy&gl=AU&ceid=AU%3Aen
And yomm, quite seriously, you have no fucking idea what our front line health workers do, or the pressures that they are under. You can’t even read a fucking ebook ffs!
We did everything we were asked but got nothing we were promised.
Well, except of course from the majority of the country living quite happily … without Covid. Now, not so much. see above 😉
Awks

LINK!
Like the one below (which is actually a ‘thread’ 😉 )
As I said people (particularly here) talk as if the health system has already been in crisis. It hasn’t. Experience overseas has been different though.
The 4000 deaths from the flu and pneumonia few years ago was more serious than we have experienced so far with covid.
The 4000 deaths from the flu and pneumonia few years ago was more serious than we have experienced so far with covid.
As I said, you have no idea. Yes, we have had very bad years for the flu, sometimes it comes close to critical mass. We are at critical mass now with Covid, and the numbers continue to rise.
Covid-19 has added a new dimension to all emergency departments in Australia. The advent of the Omicron/Delta wave of late 2021-22 has put immense strain on these sections of the health workforce due to sheer patient load.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/09/its-not-covid-thats-broken-our-health-system-its-years-of-neglect
Do some simple research before proving your ignorance. I can foresee within a week you’ll be having a go at Nurses and Orderlies for gorging on Monte Carlos and wearing cardigans instead of downloading ebooks for their clueless patients.
“As I said people (particularly here) talk as if the health system has already been in crisis. It hasn’t.”
Queensland hospitals ‘stretched to breaking point’ and not ready for Covid, AMA says
“Frustrated” Queensland doctors have developed their own plan to fix a hospital system they say is “stretched to breaking point”, as the state prepares for more Covid cases when border restrictions relax, AAP reports.
Questions are being raised about capacity to handle surges in demand brought on by the reopening of borders to Covid-19 hotspots and the impending cyclone season.
“Our public hospital system is stretched to breaking point and our staff are worn out,” the Australian Medical Association Queensland ‘Ramping Roundtable’ chair Kim Hansen said.
There are not enough beds and there are not enough staff. It is as simple as that.
Gee, who to believe YoM, or the AMA….??
The same YoM who reckons Novak Djokovic visa debacle is Dan Andrews’ fault….?
Gee, who to believe YoM, or the AMA….??

“I can foresee within a week you’ll be having a go at Nurses and Orderlies for gorging on Monte Carlos and wearing cardigans”
Well, that went quicker than anticipated 😦
WORLD LEADERS!
With more deaths from drowning in Australian beaches this summer than from the omicron variant, imagine what the (Queensland) AMA would have to say if we’d experienced the type of outbreak of some other countries
You do realise that the deaths in the above Tweet is per day, don’t you yomm?
You can lead people to thought … but ya can’t make ’em think!
🙄
Get over it
Before vaccination the death rate was about 1.5% of cases. Now it’s about 0.1%
“Hilarious! Doctors complain about working! How unusual for a union.”
In “YoM’s world” only employers have legitimate complaints, anyone else is just having a whinge.
Explains a lot really.
It’s interesting how quickly LNP stooges have moved on from mentioning cases to hospitalisations to ICU to now only mentioning deaths.
Serious illness? Take a fkn panadol and STFU.

Why are things getting worse now most of the population is double vaxxed??
I see the GG has just come down with Covid. He is double vaxed plus has had the booster shot.
And 4000 died from the flu and pneumonia just a few years ago, including infants. Was everyone demanding… something or other?
And Tom R continues to compare a successful pandemic vaccination to a flu shot, giving support to a rich anti vaxer

Yes, stop coughing all over everyone. There was a massive ad campaign

But no, I don’t, but perhaps that is why they should be stopping him (should have stopped him)

Almost every other player was vaccinated. Tennis Australia tried to accommodate an anti vaxer.
The panel appointed by the state government helped and the federal health minister wrote to TA , advising that recent covid wasn’t acceptable.
But go ahead and support the rich anti vaxer tosser who tried to get around the rules of his host
As Raffa said – he knew the risk

Haven’t they kicked another couple out since this blew up?

There’s is a blind test, they don’t know who they are checking, they are just checking that the boxes ave been ticked

Same in SA
Well it was, now they have one, and a medically untrained driver
This is what system failure looks like.
Blind test, it would be interesting to know whether that was along the lines of “player xxx received an exemption from the Serbian Public Health office, because they’d contracted asymptomatic covid”
Who on earth could that be!!
Who on REDACTED could that be!!

Still waiting for YoM to elaborate on how Dan Andrews is responsible for Novak’s VISA being revoked.
You insist he’s responsible, so what is it you ****face?
Well it was, now they have one, and a medically untrained driver
Only one paramedic turned up early this morning, to attend a family member who had a badly damaged toe from a fall. Long wait too …

Maybe they don’t have paramedics in Victoria? (Anymore)

I also understand that another minister is lining up to BOOT HIM OUT!
They really don’t want us to pay attention to the ‘common flu’ running rampant through the cuntry do they?
Remember how Dan’s medical panel provided the exemption.
It’s funny how cheering for the failure of the federal government trying to deport an anti vaxer nutcase isn’t supporting an anti vaxer nutcase
Keep digging YoM, you’re just embarrassing yourself…
Look at the ‘meta’ picture. Possibly a ‘payback’ to the executive arm who have long been in the business of appropriating the powers of the judicial branch.

How did Djokovic get here in the first place… because a state government organisation privided a medical exemption
Dutton was a ‘copper’ with time in the drug squad. Like lots of his colleagues, he became frustrated with the judicial branch of government. You know – we arrest them and the judges let them go.
If you study the legislation he introduces, invariably he makes the final arbiter (for appeals) ‘the Minister’ and not the judicial branch. In short, he doesn’t trust the judiciary.
(In Cabinet, Brandis even reported one of Dutton’s outburst re certain legislation “Don’t let things go to the Courts because they might let (the accused) off!”
Even Brandis was shocked.)
In short, Dutton doesn’t like the Separation of Powers doctrine.
*yawn*
I think you mean “comatose”
In short, Dutton doesn’t like the Separation of Powers doctrine.
Dutton is the Australia’s worst nightmare

Nah, I’m “waiting” too …
because a state government organisation privided a medical exemption
A state government does not have the legal power to provide any exemption to cross the Federal Border … try that in LA airport!!!!
Thought we had Dutton (and Howarth) last time but they won easily.
Might have a better result this time. Certainly hope so.
Nothing to do with Dan’s government…

LABOR is responsible for that. In 2007 our detention centers were empty.

Morning all, I’m just settling in with me popcorn to watch the days play. Should be an exciting one, as we watch reb patiently on the sidelines for yomm to provide him with an example of his elusive Novax support (must be in same box as mine?). But the true excitement will be waiting to see if yomm persists with his hand held shovel tactic, or pulls out the big guns and give Dial-A-Digger a call
Either way, the real winners here are the anti-science crowd, ably supported, yet again, by the Australian Liberal party, just like they have been doing for over two decades now.
I just wish that Hawke would get on with his focus group testing and let us know whether he is going to compensate for his government’s incompetence.
Ultimately though, I hope the Djoker wins the Open.
I hope the Djoker wins the Open.
And Border Farce arrest him as he is being presented with the Trophy 🙂
So after Dan assuring the public that unvaccinated players would not be allowed to compete in the Australian Open, Dan’s government lured Djokovic here with their “medical exemption” , then he gets to stay because of a procedural error on arrival.
Get rid of him!
And what a humiliation for Dan, and his cheer club
Shit, yomms gone for the Excavator
So after Dan assuring the public that unvaccinated players would not be allowed to compete in the Australian Open
Dare I ask …… LINK?
Try this…what a humiliation for Dan and his cheer club
Only vaccinated players allowed to compete in Australian Open, Daniel Andrews warns
The Victorian premier says unvaccinated tennis players won’t be granted an exemption to enter the state from overseas to take part in the Australian Open, even if they spend two weeks in hotel quarantine.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.sbs.com.au/eds/news/article/only-vaccinated-players-allowed-to-compete-in-australian-open-daniel-andrews-warns/dd437518-2647-4322-a603-3433e3607d3e%3famp=1
We’re not going to be applying for an exemption
So, the Victorian Government applied for an exemption, did they?
From my reading, Tennis Australia and the Government applied an exemption (according to Federal Regulations), they didn’t apply FOR one.
In fact, they applied several.
As I said, Dan specifically assured the public that unvaccinated players would not be allowed to play. But the panel set up by his own government provided the “medical exemption”
Please keep digging
Andrews very clearly said he would not be applying for an exception. If someone is technically vaccinated, as Novax appears to have been, then that doesn’t change what he has said. His words show that, had Novax not been provided an exception, he would not be applying for one, but Novax got an exception, and all Tennis Australia and Vic committee did was apply the rules.
If I’m digging, then it’s in your hole 😉
So, when you are ready, perhaps the link for where the Victorian Government applied to (someone) FOR an exception, as opposed to simply applying existing exceptions?
Hilarious! Dan’s medical panel provided the exemption!
Dan said there would be none!
Keep digging!
Dan said there would be none
No he didn’t, he said he would apply for one. They didn’t? Unless, of course, you supply that elusive link.
Otherwise, all they have done is apply the rules
It’s an absolute humiliation for Dan!
Victorian Premier doubles down on stance against unvaccinated tennis players at Australian Open

* Then his government sets up a panel to approve applications for exemption of unvaccinated players

* Keep digging
but failed due to an administrative error by a public servant
Yea, right 😉
This might be useful for Tom R and reb defending Dan

So, an independent panel and Tennis Australia both acknowledge that, under federal guidelines, Novax is eligible to play, and yomm seems to think that that is the Andrews Government applying for a special exception for an unvaxed player.
You and reading yomm, it just doesn’t mesh, does it 🙂
yomms upset that Dictator Dan isn’t Dictator enough?
Hilarious, there was no obligation on the Andrews government to set up a medical exemption panel. But they did, and they provided a medical exemptions to Djokovic
Thanks Dan
and they provided a medical exemptions to Djokovic
In accordance with federal policy, just like Tennis Australia, and just like Border Farce.
But, I’ll await that link where they applied for an exception? Shouldn’t be too hard to find
Dan was vociferous in his assurance that unvaccinated players would not compete.
He wasn’t required to set up a panel to approve applications for medical exemption from unvaccinated players. But he did, and exemptions were provided by his panel.
Please keep digging
Dan was vociferous in his assurance that unvaccinated players would not compete.
And now you want him to be a Dictator to overturn a federal guideline?
Dan’s panel provided the exemption. Dan’s government wasn’t required to establish a panel, but it did and for the sole purpose of reviewing applications for exemption.
And that’s why Djokovic was able to turn up!
I’m glad you understand that.
I’ll look forward to reb’s humble retraction too

No, they ticked off on the same one Border Farce and Tennis Australia did. Evn the Judge went out of his way to confirm that Novax had done all he could to tick those boxes.

Can you show where an exemption was issued by Border Force?
Apparently when Dan says – unvaccinated players can’t play in the Australian Open, what he means is- my government will establish a panel to endorse applications for exemptions for unvaccinated players
Can you show where an exemption was issued by Border Force?
lol, linqs wants a link
You remember back up, when a judge said wtte “I don’t know what more he could have done”?
Yep, he had a medical exemption from the Victorian government
Even though the guy in charge of the entire government said unvaccinated players would not compete

I’ll go really slow yomm
Victoria can’t give exemptions to enter the cuntry, only Border Force can do that (this is not a hole any longer, it’s a fucking mine shaft lol)

Ditto Tennis Australia.
All this despite the assurance from Dan that unvaccinated players would not compete

Who know what is real here. You have a group of inveterate liars now accusing someone else of lying. Time will tell. I don’t know that much about Novax, but he seems like a bit of a dill at the best.
All I know is, our government has politicised this from the get go, and they will continue to (see yomms hole 😉 )

Was I close with my guess?
“”””Victoria can’t give exemptions to enter the cuntry, only Border Force can do that (this is not a hole any longer, it’s a fucking mine shaft lol)”””
OK but why did the Victorian government deceive the guy by saying it was OK for him to come??
The above illustrates that ‘facts’ while necessary (indeed essential) in any debate, they are never sufficient in themselves. The problem, in part at least, is that ‘facts’ are always almost infinite in number.
As any historian will attest, the problem is not the shortage of facts but their overabundance. Indeed, it’s what (facts) to leave out rather than what to include. Then there’s the further problem(s) of the weight and the meaning(s) to be attributed once a selection’s been made.
“why did the Victorian government deceive the guy by saying it was OK for him to come??”
There isn’t any ‘deception’.
He could’ve been invited to a wedding but he still needs a fkn visa if he’s not an Australian citizen.
Yeah! Just because Dan said unvaccinated players can’t compete in the Australian Open, and then sets up a panel to approve applications from unvaccinated players, doesn’t mean anything!

Let it rip is doing well, aint it
The economy doesn’t work if people can’t work. So the first economic priority during a pandemic must be to keep people healthy enough to keep working, producing, delivering and buying.
That some political and business leaders have, from the outset of COVID-19, consistently downplayed the economic costs of mass illness, reflects a narrow, distorted economic lens. We’re now seeing the result – one of the worst public policy failures in Australia’s history.

Ok, one last attempt for those who are intellectually challenged…
Let’s say I’m an overseas student and apply to do a course at TAFE and get accepted.
When I arrive in Australia, the Immigration dept refuses entry because I don’t have the correct visa to study in Australia.
The fact that I don’t have the correct visa isn’t TAFE’s fault.
I hope this helps those who are a bit slow on the uptake.
Apologies in advance if it doesn’t but I don’t have the crayons to explain it any simpler terms.
Hilarious!
A more realistic comparison.
The state minister for education says- foreign students are no longer able to enroll in TAFE hairdressing courses. But then he sets up an expert panel to endorse exemptions for foreign students that wish to enroll in a hairdressing course
Hope that helps for those that struggle with the concept of “responsibility”
“A more realistic comparison”
I must’ve missed the bit where you explain how visas – you know the actual issue at hand – are administered by the Federal Govt.
Just pointing that out because you seem to have no fucking idea.
yomm failed to mention whose reality he was talking about.

Here’s someone who thinks a conditional electronic bias, that is subject to review, is unconditional.
Meanwhile, let’s excuse Dan, who said- unvaccinated players can’t play, but then set up a system to allow them to play!!
biasvisaAlthough “bias” seems suitable given the ignorance of the visa system among the Djokovic cheer club here
Here’s someone who can’t get it through his thick fucking skull that visas are not a State Govt responsibility…
🙄
Hilarious!
Here’s someone who is desperately trying to find an excuse for Dan saying “unvaccinated players can’t play in the Australian Open”
Then settings up the system to approve unvaccinated players playing in the Australian Open!
(and no compression of how electronic visas operate)
I have nothing further to add as some dumb fuckwits still can’t comprehend that Immigration and everything that goes along with it (such as the issuing and checking of visas) is a Federal Govt responsibility. Which I think I have mentioned several times now.
🙄
The fuckwits are the ones who can’t comprehend how electronic visas operate.
Australia has 10 million visitors a year. So human review of electronic visas means either-
* thousands of extra public servants to review visa applications, or
* special treatment for celebrities ( if we “sort it out in advance”)
Meanwhile the fact that Dan set up a system to facilitate the entry of the very tennis players he repeatedly assured the public wouldn’t play, is dutifully ignored
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😌😌😌😌
I should have added 😂 x a few hundred

60% of people who died with Covid overnight in NSW were vaccinated.
But it was a mild flu-like death so there’s nothing to worry about.
So the 7% that are unvaccinated, made up 40% of the deaths.
In other words you’re about 6 times more likely to die from covid if you’re unvaccinated.
Meanwhile, we should remind ourselves that 4000 died from the flu and pneumonia a just few years ago.
47 died today yomm.

I resupplied the context for you in quotes dopey [facepalm]
47 deaths, as well as about another 500 from other causes, but let’s not be concerned about that
We had front row seats to this theatre of mass confusion. The tinfoil committee of project repug crashed their way thru a dozen plod and in a few short moments reduced their nations elite to a pile of quivering rubble. You know this because tbagz knows this.`
60% of people who died with Covid overnight in NSW were vaccinated.
Maybe the vaccine killed them and if they didn’t get it they would still be alive.

For the European Union, the U.S. and Latin America, the latest case fatality rate is 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively, down from a high of 4% to 7% during the Delta wave in June. If we add in the legions of asymptomatic, mild and untested cases, the true Omicron mortality is likely around 0.2%, roughly in line with seasonal flu.

“Yes you are right”
Good thing nobody here is a fool or there’d be nobody to argue with. Otherwise we would all have to get a life!
Prince Andrew stripped … and this time not by a teenager!
So, let me get this right … until/unless we surpass 4000 Covid deaths in a year we are only dealing with a mild flu?
Otherwise we would all have to get a life!
Yes you are right … 😎

So we got lucky, being an island, and were able to flatten the curve when the most lethal variants were around.
The question now is whether the pandemic ends because we get herd immunity from infection with newer and hopefully less lethal strains or because we get herd immunity from having jabs every six months? Given that Covid is a respiratory virus, regular jabs like with the flu seems likely.
At the moment “immunity” from the vaccine seems to be more about lessening symptoms than preventing contagion.
Praise the Lord and pass the plague!
