Same. I do it to piss my wife off.

her and sweet Jesus.

I actually mistakenly do it correctly, and quickly change it before she sees it, if i haven't annoyed my wife at least once a day i consider that day a fail

And sadly Gillard didn't really get a fair go with Kevin007 whit anting her all the time.

Agree. Kevin007 was a horrible leader. Good riddance.

Could you imagine Abbott as prime minister in a pandemic.

that would be nuts.

Abbott is one of few Australian pollies (current or former) who penned something intelligent during the pandemic.

Tony Abbott slams ‘health dictatorship’ of Covid-19 lockdowns, says ‘fear of falling sick’ cancels out ‘being fully alive’

Former Australian PM has condemned the demise of personal freedom embraced amid the Covid-19 pandemic: a world of lockdowns, unsustainable government benefits, and “health dictatorships” trying to conquer death.

30000 dead, we'd be opened up by now and he'd be getting his rocks off because the budget for the age pension is cut drastically.

Abbott was a strong advocate of vaccination, and remember he was the one who introduced no jab no play.

As long as they didn't interfere with his religious conservatism.

Abbott’s U-turn on vaccines

THE Prime Minister is cracking down on anti-vaxxers, insisting that all parents who don’t have their children immunised should be denied welfare payments.

Strong leaders do change their opinions and stance on issues, but then according to that article went on to say "“If there is a national immunisation program, I certainly will be making sure that they get vaccinated under the program.”

did or did not the parties at home occur in the window of time when we thought all cases were fully isolating. Yes it was against the health advice (which was do not have visitors into the home) however you could meet up in open areas. And if you had an impromptu game, no one would have stopped you.
Your community sporting organisation just lacked ... creativity to get around it.
That and I think we only had from 26/7/21 to 5/8/21 (ie one single weekend) between lockdowns

Is Eddie still complaining about others breaking the rules after openly boasting about how he'd done the same during the last lockdown?

Color me shocked.........

Is six lockdowns a world record?

does a stock image change the story?

media aren't great, I know, but not sure how the picture changes the validity of the story in itself ? (also haven't read story either)

i just dont see how that pic affects the content - that just seems lazy at worst

If they can't get the picture right how can you trust them to get the facts (Murdoch & facts I know) right?

You like misleading pics? Courier mail logo implies Australia. That is then spread across social media.

Why not go with this happened in UK?

The cancer that is the current media landscape.

Pollies.

Dan is horrible. Scummo is worse.

Outside AU/NZ, the developed world is moving on.

It was more than a decade ago, and it was both Pfizer and AZ's predecessor.

Yeah I'm not sure there's much in this one. But welcome to the discussion!

Mate if you’re going to report on the pandemic, do it with some effort, class and honesty. This has happened far too often and creates doubt in people’s minds.

Have to say, for all the sh*t he copped back from June last year for lockdown, Andrews has been proven right again and again. Now that NSW has tried to go progressively on COVID - and it's starting to run out of control - it seems like it's now going to be a very close-run thing to get enough jabs into arms before the virus really spirals.

It's been her plan from day 1 to vaccinate her way out of this.

Best of luck to her, but the supply ain't there yet.

 

[HBF]

Yes, worse than Abbott.

Agreed.
Morrison is a useless campaigner

 

[HBF]

Especially when QLD is opening up on similar numbers to Vics today…

LOL
******* hell Ed. Try again

Strong leaders also don’t have idiotic opinions to begin with.

They'll still be in lockdown until Xmas.

Tony Abbott slams ‘health dictatorship’ of Covid-19 lockdowns, says ‘fear of falling sick’ cancels out ‘being fully alive’

Former Australian PM has condemned the demise of personal freedom embraced amid the Covid-19 pandemic: a world of lockdowns, unsustainable government benefits, and “health dictatorships” trying to conquer death.

Abbott gets verballed every time he speaks but he makes much more sense than our current leaders.

After six months, Abbott insisted, governments should be “relaxing the rules” and letting people shoulder whatever risk burden they’re prepared to accept – not keeping everyone under the same increasingly-stringent control regime. “For a free people, there’s a world of difference between a course of conduct that individuals choose for themselves and one that the government orders them to adopt,” he explained – even if, as in Sweden, most people ultimately elect to follow the guidance set out by their leaders.​

​

Instead, he said, governments were clinging to their emergency powers, having grown so enamored of feeling needed by a fear-crazed public that they’d adopted unrealistic goals (i.e. zero community transmission of the coronavirus) as an excuse for remaining in “crisis mode.” Abbott slammed Victorian premier Daniel Andrews, who recently sought to extend his state’s pandemic-related ‘state of emergency’ for an entire year, for imposing a “health dictatorship.”​

​

He acknowledged the state had not devoted enough resources to protecting those in elder care homes from the virus, but claimed the current strategy of “preserving almost every life at almost any cost” was “clearly unsustainable” – even if it might have made sense at the beginning of the outbreak.​

​

“At some point, we just have to learn to live with this virus in ways that can be kept up more or less indefinitely,” Abbott said. He called for an end to “magic pudding economics” – the endless money-printing that has allowed governments to pay the wages of shut-down businesses, freeze rents and mortgages, and keep up unemployment payments without running out of funds. This “something for nothing mindset,” he argued, risks congealing into a “new normal” – luring a “people once sturdily self-reliant” into giving up personal responsibility in return for being taken care of by Big Brother.​
