Those who do not toe the group’s line are shamed. One piece of covert camera vision shows a meeting in which Sewell describes expelling three of their brethren. One of the men is either gay or a Jew, he says, the second a “sex pest” who failed in his job of liaising with other neo-Nazi cells. The third, Ulf Lindfors-Beswick was engaging in “outright illegal” activity, Sewell says, prioritising his outlaw bikie gang activities over his duties as a neo-Nazi.
[\quote]

1) "Either gay or a Jew". Well, which is it? Which would have been worse? What if it was both? Could society handle such depravity as would come from a gay Jewish person? I suppose we are lucky that they werent also a woman.

and

2) Prioritizing your bikie gang over your white supremacist gang gets you kicked out of the latter. Was it because it was a bikie gang? Or would he have been kicked out of his white supremacist club if he had prioritized his sewing circle above the interests of the white race?

But seriously, this poo poo is terrifying. Chalk me down as one of the people who said "It doesn't happen here in Aus.". I mean I know Australians are racist, and have experienced that racism first hand and seen it directed at my father many more. But I was always of the belief that the KKK and other such full on hardcore professional racist organizations couldn't and didn't exist in Aus. due to the fact that as a country we just didn't care enough. i.e. the old joke that a race war would never happen in Australia on a saturday, because the footy's on and that's more important.

To summarize: Football = good. Nazis = very bad.

Hey but look at the upside, 70% is transmitted at home, no need to keep track of exposure sites.

Never mind 500 *potentially infectious* people under investigation!

Honestly, I haven't moved from the house apart from exercise (keeping to quieter areas where possible since everyone is now outside) and the weekly Coles run.

I'm at a complete loss.

When they say "transmitted at home", would that include within tower blocks and from unit to unit? Or would we have heard about full buildings being shut down?

Gladys threw it out in yesterdays conference, I could only find this. I think it refers to households and not units.

"In the past two weeks, 70 per cent of infections that have been linked to a known case or cluster occurred in households, a figure NSW Health says reflects the general trend of Sydney’s latest outbreak."

"linked to a known case or cluster" meaning they have no loving idea where transmission is happening cause most of it is unlinked at the moment because they've lost control.

I eagerly await NSW forcing everyone into the streets as that should stop all of that 70% of transmission, right?

In Vic covid news:

quote:

Mr Foley confirmed one of the new cases was a St Kilda sex worker who was "safely quarantining" and being taken care of by health officials.

He said there was no evidence transmission of the virus through work, but said authorities were urging anyone who had engaged the services of a sex worker in St Kilda in recent days to be tested.

I really, really hope they link the sex worker to someone at the engagement party.

That would be great but unfortunately I think it's just kicked off a generally localised cluster, apparently the bulk of the mystery cases are from around here now. It really sucks because it makes me feel like I shouldn't even risk going to get takeaway.

How can they say it’s 70% transmission in the home when 75% of the days cases can’t be linked to other cases?

the fines for breaching any of the restrictions aren't harsh enough imo, even the ones that are 5k.

make it 5k per confirmed infection that results from the breach on top of the 5k for breaching.
