Scott Morrison: “I’m suffering too.”
Look I’m not saying that Scott Morrison is out of touch with the plight of ordinary Australians who are struggling to buy a pack of sausages to feed the family or heaven forbid a Rapid Antigen test of which Simon Birmingham (who coincidentally is trying to butch up his mousey appearance by growing some facial hair) says there’s a plentiful supply even though no one on dog’s green earth can seem to find one,
NO! That would be far too indulgent.
Instead, our self-sacrificing Prime Minister (in title only by all accounts) insists that he too is suffering from the ill-effects of Covid by having to lend himself to the arduous tasks and responsibilities associated with the high office he holds.
Yesterday, fronting the media to burble a fresh bout of bullshit our beleaguered leader became clearly testy with reporters venting that he was unable to spend his “anniversary” with “Jen” because “he had to work,” (even though it wasn’t actually their wedding anniversary).
After a rambling press conference that failed to address the unfolding Novak Djokovic visa debacle that’s currently exposing the Federal Government as a shambolic shit show of incompetence on the International stage, the PM turned as he was walking away from the podium to say:
‘One last thing, indulge me this. Happy anniversary Jenny, I hope I get to see you soon’.
Aw, poor Scott and Jen couldn’t together because he’s suffering too.
What a crock of shit.
It’s yet another cynical carefully-orchestrated move designed to solicit sympathy from a psychopath who has no qualms about locking kids indefinitely in detention, sending people back to work without adequate protection from Covid and insisting that people can go out and buy RA tests when none are actually available!
Heck we can’t even buy food anymore!
He can go fuck himself.

Yes, omicron covid has a mortality rate of about a tenth of delta , due to vaccination and its lower potency.
The vaccine has a lower potency than Covid? FMD!
Yes, omicron covid has a mortality rate of about a tenth of delta
But, but what about flu??
He can go fuck himself.
Surely he would expect someone else to do that? Otherwise it could be his fault if he got pregnant
omicron covid has a mortality rate of about a tenth of delta
And an infection rate so much higher that there are more in hospital now. I don’t understand why this is so difficult to understand?
But, but what about flu??
it flew
Would Labor be any different??
“Yes, omicron covid has a mortality rate of about a tenth of delta , due to vaccination and its lower potency.”
Yes you are right.
“Would Labor be any different??”
Yes you are right.
I suspect the problems are so great govts both State and Federal are just following Public Service advice. We are a country run by bureaucrats.
Yes you are right.

Djokovic to be deported, again! What will Serbia think! What will the anti vaxers think!
What will the “I stand with Novak” cheer club think!
What will the “I stand with Novak” cheer club think!
Who even are these people….??
Looks like they kept off the announcement to late Friday so no legal challenges could be made until Monday. What a slimey govt. Morrison has lost the plot. He does not have the courage to go against public opinion like Howard did
“What a slimey govt.”
FMD, whoever has hacked Neil’s account, we don’t much in the way of ransom money, but I’m sure his mum would appreciate it if you return him unharmed.
There may be a hearing over the weekend. But who cares if it is delayed
Djokovic manipulated the res, he’s been untruthful, he’s breached covid protocols, he’s probably the most prominent anti vaxer nutcase in the world, and he deserves it.
“manipulated the rules”
Finally we agree on something!
But when will Dan Andrews be held to account?
but I’m sure his mum would appreciate it if you return him unharmed.
Wasn’t he harmed to start with?
he’s probably the most prominent anti vaxer nutcase in the world,
These vaccines are forced. Nobody likes to be forced.
Neil, he’s a visitor.
Polite people observe the rules of their host. If he doesn’t like the rules he can f**k off.
He wasn’t forced to participate in a tennis tournament
Wasn’t he harmed to start with?
But who dropped him?
Yes you are right, Kneel …
Tom
He wants to break a record. OK the rules he does not agree with.
But then why did the hardline Victorian govt give exceptions for some people??
He lies on his immigration statement, he flouted covid protocols. He clearly thinks he’s more important than others.
He knew there would be plenty of hurdles for an anti vaxer nutcase. particularly when the overwhelming majority of people here are vaccinated.
He deserves zero sympathy, and-
* Tennis Australia have been disgraceful and the CEO and board should be dismissed
* The Victorian government has been hopelessly inconsistent and incompetent
* The federal government has been hopelessly handwashing
But Djokovic is a prick, a nutcase, a weirdo with no regard for rules and certainly no good grace
While I agree with the comments made by Tom and others, I also think that giving expulsion powers to an immigration Minister is also an abomination.
Decisions made in these instance are best made in the judicial arena and not by an executive/legislative actor whose conflicts of interest are so very obvious.
As anyone who follows politics knows, Hawke is a political plaything of Morrison. Way out of his intellectual depth. But then again, he not an exception.
The government is right in identifying that it is the anti vaxers that support Djokovic.
He’s a lightning rod for those crazy conspiracy theorists
Incredible reason Minister revoked Djokovic visa is revealed in court: (not because he broke a rule) but because his presence at Australian Open promotes anti vaccination.
Don’t we have a few pollies that need to be deported too? Nauru … or Timbuktu
I could suggest, some “interesting” places in the PNG Highlands, too …
Hey! It rhymes!
Re – “his presence … promotes anti vaccination”
Perhaps, but is this (his presence) to become a ‘Principle’ that might be universalized to consider the welfare and risks of all parties when considering policy decisions and outcomes? A mere ‘presence” becomes an unacceptable risk?
If so, should Clive Palmer’s evident obesity be enough to have him banned from TV screens, particularly when children watch? What about the broadcasting of Parliament? (Encouraging hate speech? etc)
No doubt our media will pursue this ‘principle’ at the next opportunity.
A vaccinated public and omicron continues to turn covid into the flu.
Mortality rate is still about 0.1% compared to (up to) 7% previously
Vaccination works and we don’t need the world’s most prominent anti vaxer nutcase here parading around encouraging other anti vaxer nutcases
Arguing with YoM be like….
“A vaccinated public and omicron continues to turn covid into the flu.”
Last time I looked, the flu doesn’t carry the risk of blood clots in the veins and arteries of the lungs, heart, legs or brain, but I’m sure you will be able to PROVIDE A LINK that proves otherwise…

Last time I looked, the flu doesn’t carry the risk of blood clots in the veins and arteries of the lungs, heart, legs or brain,
That reminds me, AZ vaccine is not recommend for under 60’s because the vaccine can cause blood clots. Not sure why it is not a problem for over 60’s.
But since these vaccines have been rushed it is understandable that some people may not want to take them. Calling them anti-vaxxers is a little harsh. Most are not anti-vaccines they are just anti these ones.
lol
Just keep ignoring that mortality rates and long term ailments are similar. Which is the purpose of vaccination.
Hilarious!
Claims they’re the same, but can’t back it up with evidence.

For the slower brigade-
* Similar – having a resemblance in appearance, character, or quantity, without being identical
* Same- identical; not different

Just dismiss 4000 deaths in one year due to the flu and pneumonia, compared to 2000 due to covid over 2 years!
And don’t worry about complications unless they are the complications you nominate!
(complications) include viral or bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and ear infections and sinus infections, especially in children. The flu can worsen long-term medical conditions, like congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes.
You might also have muscle inflammation (myositis), problems with your central nervous system, and heart problems such as heart attacks, inflammation of the organ (myocarditis), and inflammation of the sac around it (pericarditis).
And let’s play down the long term complications of pneumonia…
*Bacteremia and Septic Shock
*Lung Abscesses
*Pleural Effusions, Empyema, and Pleurisy
*Respiratory Failure
*Kidney Failure
*Heart Failure

Djokovic lost because the law was designed to make the Minister’s decisions immune from judicial review. That is not a good thing.

I wonder if this will mean the international community will take more notice of our dictatorial governments powers?
What is your point?? That is the way it has always been hasn’t it. Somebody has to have the final say. In this case who do you think should make the ruling?? The courts or the relevant Minister??

Re – “the law was designed to make the Minister’s decisions immune from judicial review”.
Under Dutton’s influence, the Separation of Powers doctrine is under constant attack. Bad enough that the Executive branch and and the Legislature are dominated by the same actors and to have the judicial arm sidelined is an affront to the concept of democracy.
But because the punters seem unconcerned there’s no push for change.

Do you have any evidence that the Immigration Minister has never had those powers?? I think the Immigration Minster has always had the power to expel people from the country. Ministers have to have some powers otherwise why have them??
also disagree with the unfair system that brought him down
I think it’s amusing that the same people who argued fin favour of the right of a minister to determine (draconian and divisive) public health orders that restrict millions of people are now all bothered about a minister determining the visa status of a single (rich, anti vaxer nutcase) individual who wants to play tennis here

The number of aged-care homes suffering COVID outbreaks more than doubled again last week to 1107, the number of residents with the virus jumped by 141 per cent, and the sector ran out of workforce surge staff the week before.
As previously reported here, the exponential explosion is on track to have outbreaks in practically every home outside Western Australia next week, imprisoning some 180,000 Australians.
There were 1370 active resident cases on January 7. On January 14, there were 3208 and 39 people had died.

Novak Djokovic deported for breach of Australia’s border rules, PM says, at odds with government’s legal case
The Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, says Novak Djokovic was deported because he tried to breach entry rules at the border, even though the immigration minister did not dispute the tennis star’s belief he had a valid medical exemption.
“It’s as simple as that,” the prime minister told 2GB radio. “This is about someone who sought to come to Australia and not comply with the entry rules at our border. That’s what this is about.”
The health minister, Greg Hunt, also argued on Monday that Djokovic’s medical exemption “wasn’t valid”.
But the immigration minister, Alex Hawke, did not make alleged non-compliance with entry rules a central plank of his reasons for cancelling Djokovic’s visa a second time on Friday.

Re – “Djokovic’s presence in Australia “may pose a health risk to the Australian community” because it “may foster anti-vaccination sentiment”.”
Back to the “presence” and “fostering anti-vaccination sentiment”.
Where might this end? Should we deny Dawkins a visa because his “presence” might foster “atheistic sentiment”? Further, should the government completely defund universities which include “critical theory” in social science courses?
Should “unvaccinated” candidates be allowed on the ballot paper? What about “unvaccinated” elected members – should they be allowed into the parliamentary bars? Should they be allowed to travel in Commonwealth vehicles? Government jets?
Should the public purse be used to fund MPs who want to challenge ‘mandates’?
So many possibilities.
Same source as 50% = 4%
Apologies ToM I was actually replying to TR … I meant “ToM” as in the source.
Bloody English language … much easier if we spoke Serbian …
Note Morrison is clarifying:
“If you’re an Australian, you’re a citizen, you’re a resident, you can be here and you can express your views,” he said.
Do you have to meet ALL these conditions before “you can express your views”? Or is one condition enough? Perhaps a few? If so, then how many? (Note he didn’t include any taxpaying role.)
Are Australian citizens residing elsewhere allowed to speak out? To be anti-vaxxers?
And skite about it? Politicians in transit?
Same source as 50% = 4%
Which is?
“If you’re an Australian, you’re a citizen, you’re a resident, you can be here and you can express your views,” he said.

We were lucky enough to flatten the curve and keep it flattened during the most virulent strains of the virus.
It is not realistic to believe that we can have permanent isolation, lockdowns and perennial jabs.
I don’t get it. Lots more people are double vaxxed but more people than ever appear to be getting Covid. Am i missing something??
“Am i missing something??”
Your brain.
The vaccines are effective as pre-emptive therapeutics. In order to evaluate their benefit you need to take account of the fact that you are much less likely to end up in ICU if you are vaxxed.

Kneel,
Covid 19 is a very deadly virus attacking the human race … as viruses have for
milleniaever … they mutate to get past our immunity defences … Covid’s first succesful attempt at mutation was named Delta more deadly … Omicron is the latest Covid mutation … and its plan is to be more infectious than Delta (both Omicron and Delta are Covid 19 strains … mutations)The purpose of vaccinations is to assist our immune system to attack the invasion of our bodies by assiting our own immune systems to recognise the attack …
In short we are fighting a battle against Covid and all its “children” … Delta … Omicron … and whatever is planned next …
Oddly enough, viruses treat humans the way we treat some insects …
Be alert … the world needs more Lerts! (acknowledgment WW2 poster)

Surely, if this lot govern the country, after the next election, I will become totally and absolutely negative politically … democracy is dying throughout the Western world … high-jacked by right-wing stupids who really want a diktat while spouting democracy …
I lived through the fall of the British Empire … had some very loud discussions with my parents’ family … as a child/teenager … by that time I had been educated in the BE rape of the Empire …
I see the Western World Empire lazing its way to a similar fate to all previous Empires …

According to Greg hunt’s logic why haven’t we seen mass hoarding of bowel cancer testing kits…??
He’s a total bell end.

Dickwit sounds better …
Scott Morrison rebukes George Christensen for ‘dangerous messages’ on vaccinating children.
Rebukes??? Put the ignorant bastard in jail for endangering lives!
Who votes for these dangerous wankers!
Re – “So Covid-19 and omicron is the same thing??”
No! No! The spellings – they IS different.
But, not to worry, they soon will become flues apparently . So all our problems will go up the chimney, as it were.

I knew there was something about it….
And, of course it was timed. I know because we spent our holidays in iso thanks to ‘let it rip’ Just in time to get back to work 😦
He isn’t smart, but he is cunning. Add that he is also lazy, it’s why we have what we have now, chaos
oops, ping reb 🙂
Yes nil, there will be more variants of Covid. I wonder if Pi will be next?
Are there any Morrison Covid Mugs out yet?
Mother Goose on one side … Scotty’s mug on ‘tother …

Saw what you did there, MN.
Tin pot despot Keegan Bartlett needs a good kick up the arse, (figuratively speaking):
Gobsmacking truth … even the rich know!

Amazing the lengths the Vic Gov are going to to silence me
Pssst … Its not the Victorian Government … obviously relying on “common-sense” * not factual information.
Iggorance is always bliss for anyone relying on “commonsense” *
* Or even “common sense” …
Doesn’t he realise its just a mild flu?
Read the rest of this article – the dork is a religiously driven fucking moron!
Hope and prayers my arse!

Doesn’t he realise its just a mild flu?
Obviously, that’s why they changed the definition of “Close Contact”
Not so the testing numbers would go down
So they could then say it has ‘peaked’
Except for those pesky dead people. But they are working on that too, just not in a way a non psychopath would
“Doesn’t he realise its just a mild flu?”
Indeed. Perhaps our resident epidemiologist ought to point that out to him.
In the last 12 days 457 Australians have died of COVID.
That’s more than 5 time the number of Australians who died in the Bali bombings.
At least this time they were just #MildDeaths
Heavens, at this rate it could become almost half as serious as tobacco related deaths
Plain Packaged RATs should clear this little pandemic up then
Boris (is he a German spy?) is ether lying or incompetent … either way he should not be PM …
That reminds me of another PM?
These politicians could never hold down a senior role in any company … well maybe in a few …
Couldn’t find a smell in a fart factory!
Heavens, at this rate it could become almost half as serious as tobacco related deaths
Could you provide a lynkt to demonstrate your point …
I’m quite interested in your findings …
My father died a most excruciating extended death in Catholic palliative care, thanks to my sister’s intervention, from emphysema, caused by smoking.
ToM, must be really busy …
I’ve already got a linck but I’m interested in a more professional approach …
I’ll be back after a few chapters of Foundation & Empire … 😎
“it could become almost half as serious as tobacco related deaths”
Perhaps you can remind us of the last time ADF personnel were seconded to help hospital staff in a code brown crisis?
“My father died a most excruciating extended death in Catholic palliative care.”
dog-botherers have a lot to answer for.
cunts.
Isaac Asimov’s Foundation & Empire series … I’ve downloaded the seven novels – 2272 pages … it is still brilliant … written in 1947 … the trick is that Asimov was a scientist who understood how the universe works … he wrote some brilliant mystery/whodunnit compilations … recommend …
I forget that the cockroaches and mexicans are an hour “ahead” of the super sunshine state – chuckle – ToM must be indulging in his usual dinner and $300 bottle of shiraz … then he’ll provide us with a professional epidemiological assessment of his earlier statement …
I’m on tenterhooks!
dog-botherers have a lot to answer for.
More damaging than helping …
If there is a dog I hope they take hypocrisy into consideration on their judgement day.
World governments are overrun with dog-botherers … particularly in the USA and Afghanistan … Australia a close second …
Code Brown
The alert was previously activated during when the 2016 thunderstorm asthma event caused mass hospitalisations, during Black Saturday bushfires, and after the Bourke Street mall attack in 2017 where victims needed urgent medical treatment
The alert was previously activated during
I mean,yea, if you accept that the government has created, intentionally, an event like an extreme disaster, then cool.
Except, this is even worst than any of those extreme disasters. And it’s been done on purpose
#JustAFlu
It is the first time the Victorian health system is having a system-wide code brown.
When it comes to Dan, I think Tom R is permanently set at Code Brown (nose)
Are you able to explain what Dan Andrews has to do with the Federal Government creating an environment worst than the worst disasters?
Linky loo???
“Are you able to explain what Dan Andrews has to do with the Federal Government creating an environment worst than the worst disasters?”
This should be interesting..
“Are you able to explain what Dan Andrews has to do with the Federal Government creating an environment worse than the worst disasters?”
Nothing, nothing at all. Dan is responsible only for good outcomes. Stuff-ups (including the 58 offences Dan’s government i charged with) are entirely the responsibility of Scummo. At least in the minds of unthinking shills.
Somewhere along the way the ability of these poor souls to think independently has atrophied, their time and intellectual ability now directed solely to feasting on the faecal treacle tripping from the Stairman’s prolapsed anus and then dribbling it over these pages.
(including the 58 offences Dan’s government i charged with) are entirely the responsibility of Scummo.
LINSKY!
LINESQUE! oui!
The Andrews Government has made their share of mistakes. But I think the voters accept that, and also appreciate those who recognise it, and allow due process to be carried out.
Unlike those states who sweep everything under the rug

Ahh Guardian headline … Boris Johnson in more trouble … still…
News Corp … zilch … the Murdoch Mystery of Misleading Myths
BoJo is the gift that keeps on giving.
It’s quite hillarious to see him try to cling on to “it was just a work function” (with suitcases full of grog, dancing girls, loud music, strippers)…
Especially the night before the the Duke’s funeral. Her royal madge will not be amused.
“As he waded through the empty bottles and platters of sandwiches — he didn’t realise it was a party?” Sir Keir asked.
You just can’t top dry British humour…. 😆

Can’t say l have any sympathy for novax the tinfoil tennis rupert. lt was a bad ‘biz-nuz’ decision he made two years ago. He should have got jabbed as france is following muppet island on the vax stance, looks like motor sport won’t seek exceptions either.`
