If I started a political party, got enough members and accepted donations could I then theoretically discover the numbers of prominent politicans and constantly spam (say 3 times a day) messages at them that just say 'you are poo poo, authorised by the Aussies hate poo poo pollies party' from multiple numbers? Would that be allowed under the spam act?

I was genuinely shocked when I found out Craig Kelly wasn't from far north Queensland. He 100% looks like the kind of guy who played a few years for the Cowboys, retired early from injury and went off to commentate on Fox or something.

I had some family members saying that the media should have stopped focusing on the Brittany Higgins stuff and just let politicians do their job, as though it was the fault of the media for bringing too much attention to the subject, instead of the government being a cesspit that were finally caught out on their horrible bullshit.

Let's not forget the whole thing about that staffer who filmed himself masturbating on his female boss' desk and all the people who went to bat for him.

Still loving skeeves me out.


On a similar topic, there was a brief article in the Herald Sun today (it's in our break room and sometime I angry-read it) about a woman who has been forbidden by the courts from publicly naming the man who sexually assaulted her despite him already being found guilty.

Apparently he's appealing, so it just wouldn't be fair to allow a man (who has been found guilty in a court of law of sexually assaulting someone) to suffer any form of discomfort until he has exhausted every avenue in his efforts to find a judge who hates women as much as he does.

Armadale Hospital ED was down 8 staff the other night, my sister in law was stuck in the isolation work for 9 hours by herself, no support, no toilet break and nothing to drink. There is literally no one to back these people up. She is looking for jobs outside of nurse now, because she knows it is not going to get better. She is one of the most highest trained and capable ED nurses in the country.

I am a volly ambo in the wheatbelt, transfer times are blowing out because when we drive all the way to the city there is no one to receive the patient. Vollys are out of town for up to 12 hours at a time, which is ridiculous, we have family, jobs and commitments, so no one if doing the transfers now, we are only responding to emergencies and maybe RFDS flight, but one of them blew out to 7 hours and 3 different country airports the other night. The ambulances in the city are constantly needing maintenance because all of the equipment in it is charge by the alternator from the ambulance driving around. They are spending so much time ramped, up to 9 hours, the are running out of charge. Remember we can't leave the ambulance even to go the toilet because if something happens our partner has to deal with it on their own. It is getting to the point where if you call for help, we are gonna be a while, cause we are all at the hospital.

The worst part is everyone we tell doesn't believe us and tell us Mark McGowen is doing a great job, it is infuriating. Then rather than fix his poo poo and goes out and makes statements bagging the gently caress out of all the other leaders. The prick had the gall last election to announce a 1.5 billion surplus when the health system was a dumpster fire. The dude is running Donald Trumps playbook but he is competent.

On my ride back from the vaccination yesterday I saw a big billboard for a Victorian state MP with the slogan "Freedom not Fear" on it.

Just cargo culting the fundamentalist bullshit from the states.

All while Morrison keeps using phrases which are oblique references and phrases linked to conspiracy movements and Q bullshit.

I've said it before but if you actually check out the Facebook pages of some of these Liberal/National members it's insane. Not just the prolific ones like Kelley, Christensen, Canavan et al, but random backbenchers at state and federal levels.

These people (and more importantly their staff) know how to engage on these platforms and the insane boomer conspiracy feedback loops created on them. Not only are the posts they make arguably criminal (why do pollies get away with demanding action against lockdowns and stoking public unrest while others get attested?) but the moderation is awful and the comments are just as toxic as you'd expect.

23 new cases in Canberra, lockdown was extended by two weeks yesterday, it doesn't really feel like we're getting on top of it. The lockdown needs to be much harsher to get back to zero, too much poo poo is open and we're getting too many cases from essential workers.

I'll eat my hat if Alan Jones, Clive Palmer and bigwigs like Tucker Carlson aren't vaccinated. I reckon Craig Kelly is at least sincere in his idiocy and is a prime demographic to join the host of conservative radio hosts in the US who realized they made a mistake as their lungs shut down.

Dan basically conceded that Vic will never get on top of this.

Next even remote loosening of restrictions will be 23 sept when the state hits 70% first dose.

poo poo's going to be hosed until xmas and lots of people will die.

Chadzok

one dose does gently caress all to delta and shouldn't mean ANYTHING apart from being arbitrary landmarks. No restrictions at all should be loosened (in NSW or Vic) until 80% double dose, or preferably until the vaccination daily doses starts to drop off, indicating that the vast majority of people who want to be jabbed, are.

But hey, that would be the bare loving minimum of competent management, so we're poo poo out of luck in Australia.

Personally I think restrictions should be remain pretty tight until 80% 3 dose sometime next year, the science is pretty much in that the three dose schedule is required. Even then our most vulnerable are going to face a harder world and that totally sucks, there's no truly happy ending here.

Yeah I feel like this was just releasing the pressure valve so that there's some kind of vaccination target to aim for - I'm glad the changed restrictions are as small as they are.

Giving up on getting numbers down is a bit poo poo though - I seriously thought we had a chance of getting closer to zero.
