https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/210919%20-%20Burnet%20Institute%20-%20Vic%20Roadmap.pdfAccording to the Burnet VIC would kill 964 people if we relax lockdowns before Christmas, even with current target dates for 70/80% vaccination. Modelling says peak of 1960 cases (rolling 7 day average), 24% chance hospitals overrunWhy? Uses bad or old data used for UK lockdowns. Very pessimistic on CFR /vax Compare: NSW has lost 128 people to covid since June 16th (based on latest weekly summary) mostly the elderly. Daily cases of 1303 (9124/7)Can I move to NSW?

Explains why Victoria lifted the border closure. https://www.governmentnews.com.au/navigating-human-rights-in-a-pandemic/Having an ombudsman and dedicated human rights group isn't a lot of value if they had received thousands of complaints since last year and all they are doing to assist is publishing letters asking the government to be more considerate

We are sleep walking into a terrifying future.. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/13/home-quarantine-apps-prompt-privacy-and-racial-bias-concerns-in-australiaPrior to this madness, Australians were not required to carry ID let alone a smart phone with authentication to both state and federal gov via installing apps. While the crazies are ranting about 5g and Vax microchips, Australian state and federal government is well on their way to making it an offence to not carry a properly configured gps tracking device at all times.

That's hilarious, So any tourists arriving in VIC in two weeks time may be denied entry to hotels, restaurants, bars etc because VIC businesses cannot accept overseas proof of vaccination.https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/businesses-knock-back-australians-vaccinated-overseas-20211105-p596bn.html ( https://archive.ph/mfjb6 ) International tourists and anyone vaccinated overseas have to go to a local GP and wait 10 days to receive a Federal immunisation register entry so they can add it to the Services VIC app. Victoria only accepts a printed copy of the medicare MyGov PDF or Services VIC app linked to MyGov PDF, businesses risk heavy penalties for letting people in who have overseas proof of vax

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ryan-smith-050b6614_daniel-andrews-has-introduced-legislation-activity-6859262901014933504-FMfgRyan Smith nails it.Why put all those draconian powers in the bill if they don't intend to use them.18 months of flip flopping, snap lockdowns and arbitrary rules, no one can believe Dan Andrews or the Health Minister won't just keep rolling through more of the same punitive public health edicts and refuse to show any evidence to justify any of it.If the powers will not be used, don't include it in the bill.

Why does it feel like every 'they hate our freedoms' propaganda piece from the war on terror is about to be rehashed as 'they hate our democracy' as we spool up for another 20 years of wag the dog. https://clowncrack.com/2022/02/18/the-patriot/

Sometimes I wonder how long before YouTube ends up no different to what those filler shopping channels on cable TV.. Endless hours of advertising, celebration of the beige life, no swearing and certainly nothing thought provoking or confronting https://scheerpost.com/2022/03/28/hedges-on-being-disappeared/

According to the Urban Taskforce’s projections above, only 25% of Sydneysiders will live in a detached house in 2056, down from 55% in 2016, with half living in an apartment.Cheer squad for the nation of houses and holes. Wtfhttps://www.urbantaskforce.com.au/category/utf/Lobbying for higher density, preventing quality initiatives like insulation, shilling cheap apartments as the eco green future, pushing for a big Australia policy while also attacking councils and residents that don't want uncontrolled development

It's back! Petition raising significant privacy concerns with the proposed Health Legislation (Information Sharing) Bill 2023.The Bill would require participating health services to upload all relevant health information to a central Government-run database accessible to health workers. Patient consent is not required and there is no ability to opt out or chose to restrict access to health information that might be sensitive in nature.https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/council/petitions/electronic-petitions/view-e-petitions/details/12/483
