Do unvaccinated?

No more than the vaccinated. Uninfected and unvaccinated have no negative impact on people around them. Infected people might, but we now know that vaccination only benefits us personally, it didn’t end up halting transmission as was first thought. I don’t understand why people keep conflating these things.

Smoking causes an estimated 20% of the nation's cancer disease burden each year.

That's a lot of sick people and them getting sick can be seen as very preventable - with 1 in 5 of all cancer cases linked to smoking

I agree on healthy lifestyle - I live it pretty much in the main but it all harks back to mandates which is the cornerstone of much of the discussion here. Lots of sick smokers taking up valuable hospital beds and resources too.

Cancer is a weird one because every now and again it’s reported that something like coffee increases your risk. And then 6 months later it’s reversed and coffee reduces your chances.
 
Just on the UAP - I think one of their messages is good - Nuclear Power. Much better for the environment than what we're using.

Too bad the rest of their crap makes Donald Trump look left wing.

By the time we get nuclear power up, renewables would be dominating (inc base load power as we would have found a way to store).

We should have started nuclear power over a decade ago.
 
And the Greens want us to provide free heroine to junkies!

Good results I think in Europe for decriminalising those hard drugs. Do they pay for methodone? I’m not sure it’s that bad an idea. I’m sure you’d need to be in a treatment program of some sort. I doubt that we’d be able to just drop and get a free hit for out night out. I reckon whatever we can do to transition ice addicts off that gear is worth trying too. If that’s free heroin, I’d give it a crack.

That's what they do on Border Security when cancelling visas for providing incorrect information.
I was tempted to say "is that you, Sarah Sea Patrol?" but that would be unnecessarily rude :) OK I guess it's automatic in the first instance but could be waived by the Minister in future, perhaps. But not if he hasn't brought himself into compliance. The lying on your entry documents is harder to wash away, though.
 
Would have thought that providing a martyr would create more unrest. Shame, I’d prefer more egg on scomo’s face. But there’s probably enough on him already to see him ousted.
Not gonna lie, was looking forward to watching the fall out when he won the Open.

But we are not in the middle of a fat person pandemic that is causing people unnecessarily to go to ICU.

This really isn't rocket science.

We have a health system that has and always has catered for everyone, right now complete morons not getting vaccinated is putting unnecessary stress on the health system

We can't quickly inject the fatties or the Heroin addicts or the excessive excercies or the people with eating disorders with a vaccine to slow or even stop this.

Funnily enough though we can with Covid.

Once this has passed we can fund the public health system properly and Improve all the other issues.

My view is that as soon as you open the personal responsibility for covering medical costs then you usher through every form that warrants it. I take the point that right now the pandemic is the primary issue, but the principle is identical. Some covid person at some point will be denied a bed because a lazy overeater is occupying it.
 
So expert Immigration lawyer and visa specialist David Prince was 100% correct regards NoVax's chances of winning his 2nd appeal and most of the media commentators and social media eggspurts have proven to be clueless.

Sends a big message to anti-vaxxers and their supporters in our society...it's still your choice but be prepared wear the consequences that go with it..

Wonder what sort of commentary will come from Clive Palmer, Craig Kelly and Coalition MP George Christensen now?

It sounds more like trying to down play the absolute stupidity of anti vaxxers.
