In Adelaide had an anti-mask protestor approach us on the street while walking back from lunch. He had a big yellow star of David pinned to his chest and was walking up to anyone wearing a mask to loudly yell at them "ZERO CASES IN THE COMMUNITY".

Yes officer I felt threatened and acted in self defense when I popped him one in the face.

We can all learn from our past mistakes.

Before work started today we had a toolbox with our company's head safety supervisor. Our company wants to keep a record of who has and who hasn't had a vaccination - this is QLD but I am mildly surprised it has taken this long to get going. I chatted with the onsite safety manager about it and asked him if vaccines be mandatory. He said company policy will probably head in that direction. The attitude around work seems to be apathy, we are in QLD so who cares until you get Covid or you are required to have 1 for work? I got my first Pfizer dose last week.

poo poo like this, (the "we do not consent" phrasing, as well as the "freedom!" and ivermectin poo poo), makes me really really sad.

Coz it is stolen verbatim from the nutjobs in America. And it seems to be resonating here. Which sucks arse.

Because this is literally the line being pushed on Sky and in the Murdoch papers (which is almost all of them).

Tradies sit in their tea rooms every day and read their local Murdoch rag for something to look at and see the endless bullshit headlines and outright lies of the "opinion columnists" about how Dandrews is a tyrant and has no right to prevent people from licking doorknobs.

The older ones go home and go on Facebook which is the digital equivalent of inhaling lead fumes.

It was pretty much inevitable.

Because all Gladys has talked about since before she "locked down" was opening up and staying open and how they need to open up as soon as possible, it seems. It just gives a strong impression.

I think the bigger danger in terms of kids and vaccination is going to be the federal government. They're the ones who decide what vaccines are available to the public free of charge and they distribute them. If they decide any given threshold is enough, there's little any of the states can do about it.

It's over a month until students in NSW return to school and it will be interesting to see what the vaccination numbers are looking like then.

Another protest is planned for Melbourne today.

Not only was that the strongest one I've ever felt in Melbourne but it felt like it went for ages too? A minute or more. The 2012 one just rattled the doorknobs.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Let me add to the voices of Melbournians, (Frankston here), saying that they didn't feel the earthquake earlier today.

I was living in Chengdu in 2013 when there was an earthquake in Sichuan, (not the BIG one), and I definitely felt that one. But this morning, not a whimper.
