They seem to have taken the following song off of YouTube (in case you can find it):
Peter Hicks & Geoff Francis – Them Dirty Robbing Banks
They are socialists who live in Pelverata.

Watched the first three minutes: illuminating and depressing at the same time.
We think that we are in a democracy but as this speech helps to show, that’s not the case and we all need to get off our butts and rise to the challenge.
What I find so concerning is that the “leaders” who become part of the scheme think that they and their families will live in a wef/who/UNIPCCC/ABCCCC heaven now and forever.
Thanks to people like Jo and Malcolm Roberts for showing us the ugly problem: now we have to confront the evil beast.

The single biggest tool of oppression in the hands of our wannabe masters for the coming clampdown is the Online Safety Act 2021. It will be used to silence all dissent while protecting “approved” disinformation. This includes internet sites such as this one, TV, radio, email, phone calls and SMS/text.
Malcolm Roberts and Pauline Hanson both voted in favour of this legislation.
When it comes to politicians always remember the Golden Rule –
Ignore what they say, look at what they do.
Hanson and Roberts certainly talk a good talk while they sell us out to tyrants.

Think you need to inform yourself. So if in your view they already have the powers, why are they introducing another, and why is One Nation opposing it.

It’s a furphy, MP. A red herring. A distraction to hide the fact that they already have all the powers and more, in the legislation you have linked to – The Online Safety Act 2021.
To hide the fact that they actually supported the REAL legislation over two years ago.
Ms Julie Inman Grant was appointed as the eSafety Commissioner way back in 2015 by the Abbott Liberal Coalition government.
30
As I read that, I would vote for it. It’s about holding those that send out pics of their ex’s to degrade them, accountable, and I am fine with that. It does not prevent you expressing an opinion, nor passing on information differing from the experts.
The disinfo bill is about removing every person’s right to express an opinion, giving both elected and unelected self-declared experts sole right to express their opinion on your behalf. (gay marriage was the primer)
My understanding of these matters is it must be written into the act, as passed. Show me were in that bill it states what you are implying?
If the trash already had that power, they would be using it, not going through the motions.
There are half a dozen good people in power that I have faith in, they do not have any power to make change against the single major player/s, but they keep us informed and we can pass on the info.
There is always hope, without it there is no hope.
20
MP, the Online Safety Act is the second-most complex and comprehensive piece of legislation passed in my adult lifetime. It is 184 pages long, with over 300 Parts and more than 3,000 Sections.
And that is not the end of it. It has a companion Act, the Online Safety (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Bill 2021, which is another 84 pages. If you choose to think all that is to stop online bullying of kiddies then good luck to you.
But don’t take my word for it. Go check out the commission’s website – esafety.gov.au – or any of Ms Inman Grant’s many speeches at Davos and elsewhere, detailing her powers and what she intends doing with it.
Why hasn’t it happened yet? Obviously “they” are waiting for something, but I know not what.
40
Link to things Peter, I have looked for your 184 pages of whatever and can’t find it.
I know Grant is a WEF plant and can’t stomach listening to her. If you wish to point something out that you have read than link to it, instead of asking others to prove your point, for you
Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments, https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2016C00465 Workplace relations Your 84 pages that is not relivant to the topic.
As it stands I cannot find anything other than the document I linked too nothing on the Misinformation or Disinformation other than what relates to the link I provided.

We are in a time where stupid is the norm, we do need to protect stupid people from the stupid things they do. In my youth there was no digital camera or mobile phone, no worldwide instantly. Things are changing rapidly and people now need to be protected from themselves.

Rick Will pointed out a few days ago that a severe storm had developed in the Med, just south of Italy, which persisted for several days. He related that to increased sea surface temperatures.
Since the storm was adjacent to the coast of Libya it likely caused the flooding.
40
From yesterdays post, I think the main point is Dams collapsed, because water is the enemy of the Dam.
The convective storm that dumped water over southern Europe made it across the Med to Libya causing extensive flooding:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/at-least-2000-feared-dead-as-entire-neighbourhoods-swept-into-sea-in-libya-floods/ar-AA1gzhUO
Ahmed Mismari, the spokesman for the Libyan National Army (LNA) that controls eastern Libya, said in a televised news conference that the disaster came after dams above Derna had collapsed, “sweeping whole neighbourhoods with their residents into the sea”.
Mismari put the number of missing at 5,000-6,000.
The is real climate change that is due to the moving peak sunlight. Nothing to do with CO2.

Energy chief’s failed EV stunt draws mockery. Incident comes after Ford CEO calls EV road trip ‘challenging’
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm Sunday drew mockery after her electric vehicle (EV) motorcade ran into charging complications, leading a family to call the police on the energy boss.
Granholm’s four-day road trip was a publicity event designed to promote EVs which she and the Biden administration have been aggressively marketing to the American public. The secretary’s caravan, which included a Cadillac Lyriq, a Ford F-150 and a Chevrolet Bolt, stopped at town halls throughout the trip.
The debacle came just weeks after Ford CEO Jim Farley called his own EV road trip a “reality check.” Farley found charging to be “pretty challenging” during his trip through several western states, Truth Press reported.
“Charging has been pretty challenging,” Farley said, explaining that at one stop it took 40 minutes to charge the truck’s battery to just 40 percent. “It was a really good reality check — the challenges of what our customers go through.”
EV chargers have drawn criticism for operating on the same fossil fuels EVs are crusading against. But even more criticism has been directed at EVs themselves, which are reportedly responsible for so many carbon emissions that they only become environmentally beneficial after driving tens of thousands of miles.
Volkswagen, for instance, revealed that its e-Golf needs to be driven 77,000 miles before it outperforms its fuel-powered counterparts in environmental impact. The number tops Volvo’s estimate in 2021 that EVs only become “climate-friendly” between 30,000 and 68,400 miles — or what typically amounts to between four to nine years overall.
According to Volvo’s figures, EVs are 70% more environmentally harmful than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, largely due to their batteries. EV batteries require intensive cobalt and lithium mining, which are conducted in Africa and South America and cause significant greenhouse gas emissions.

Blog readers might be aware of the passing of Mick Ahern, among other things a notable on the Queensland political scene. One of his achievements was that he is likely to be the only Minister for Primary Industries with a degree in agricultural science.
So a wake was organised by two of that class and another ten turned up for the occasion. Much quiet discussion and catching up, as gaps in contact were numerous and sometimes long.
Catering was done by one of the university colleges. “The waiter, an engineering student, expressed admiration for the quality of the conversation saying it was of a higher order than anything he had ever heard at the university events he had been involved in. He said he didn’t even know the people in his undergraduate year!
He will never treasure a 60 year old friendship with classmates such as we have had.”

Russia’s Navy Port At Sevastopol On Fire After Massive Ukraine Missile Attack
In the overnight and morning hours of Wednesday (local time) a major attack has ensued on Russia’s key Black Sea naval port of Sevastopol. Multiple social media videos emerged showing massive blazes at the Sevastopol shipyard, with possible deaths, and at least 24 people being reported injured.
Initial and unconfirmed social media photographs show what appears to be a direct hit on one or more military vessels docked at the naval port.
The aftermath of the attack was captured from multiple angles, appearing to confirm significant damage to ships and port infrastructure.
An assault of this size is indeed likely more than just the work of drones; instead Ukraine probably utilized long-range missiles supplied from Western NATO partners.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russias-navy-port-sevastopol-fire-after-massive-ukraine-missile-attack
The neocons are getting desperate and trying to force Putin to make the first strike on a NATO country.
Time’s running out fast and they’re upping the ante.
30
“Given the failing counteroffensive, it looks like Kiev is “going big” on attacks against Russian territory, in hopes of sparking a broader conflict that draws NATO in, which Ukraine likely sees as its only hope. ”
Poland is ready and willing, biggest army in NATO, 4% of GDP on war and weapons.
“According to the Russians, the ‘peacekeeping operation’ will be carried out by the armed forces of Romania and Poland in Western Ukraine. The goal is to create a security zone in several regions of the country. Romania, in the event of a “peace operation”, may occupy the territory of the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine. Polish forces will expand into many areas of Western Ukraine, Warsaw will bring under its control all areas up to Kiev and Vinnytsia, such as Lviv, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Volyn, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnytskyi.”…….
“The Russians are waiting for Warsaw after the ultimatums to Belarus regarding the withdrawal of Wagner, to complete the large-scale deployment of troops from the Suwalki Corridor and Lithuania to the border with Ukraine, along the border with Belarus.”
10
Blinkin largest visit along with Johnson and Bareback is resulted in a narrative that a ” freeze” on the conflict must happen. Hoping to pick it up after the U.S election.
Russia ignores narratives, however as said earlier the neo- cons have no reverse gear and
want a world war.

Since we moved to the country a couple of decades ago, I have often wondered why people with transportable skills don’t get out of the city (even though I was golden handcuffed there for a long time , so yeah I am not immune to hypocrisy).
I think Covid/work from home has moved peoples thinking, and also that has spread to the trades which are perpetually snowed under in the regions. Our son who was a city guy, is now happily working from home and buying a home a couple hundred klms out of Melb, which we never imagined we would see.

Life explained…
Wealthy Australian property developer Tim Gurner, with a net worth of $912 million, said-
““You know, tradies [Australian slang for tradesmen] have definitely pulled back on productivity,” Gurner said. “They have been paid a lot to do not too much in the last few years. And we need to see that change. I think the problem that we’ve had is that we have people who decided they didn’t really want to work so much anymore through Covid.
“We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around. We need to see unemployment rise, unemployment has to jump 40–50 percent. In my view, we need to see pain in the economy. I mean, there’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them as opposed to the other way around.
.. The governments around the world are trying to increase unemployment, to get that to some sort of normality, and we’re seeing it. I think every employer now is seeing it.”

This is about power and governance.
The Voice changes everything.
It would be the biggest change to our Constitution—our nation’s rule-book—in Australian history.
Our long-held belief in the ‘fair go’ is at stake, as the Voice undermines equality before the law.
There is no detail on how it would work, how members of the Voice would be chosen, or how it would operate.
But the greatest risk posed by the Voice is the way it will permanently divide us as a nation and people.
Our democracy must be fair for all Australians.
But the Voice undermines our equality and our unity.
We will be a people divided.
