Another example for you Raymond, is the way GRSA handles positive swabs these days.
You have had some very high profile trainers over there returning positive swabs lately, and receiving suspended sentences, which means they are able to continue training, provided they do not re-offend within 12 months.
This approach is common sense and I say well done to GRSA for sorting out their integrity unit.
But before that you had trainers being disqualified for cobalt or caffeine, both of which are accidental contaminations. This meant getting rid of all dogs and having to reapply for a license.
That is stupidity.

In the same way, the directions around covid have completely changed to allow unvaccinated people to enter every social activity, but still cannot legally work.
Plain stupidity.

And again I say well done South Australia and Queensland for dropping all vaccine mandates and well done New South Wales for allowing people like us to work legally.
That is common sense.

No I certainly do not agree with these directions.
I have been very clear about that with Greyhound Racing Victoria, with Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley (who never replied) with Victorian Racing Minster Martin Pakula (who did reply after 5 months) and with Prime Minister Scott Morrison (who replied after 4 weeks). I also have been very clear with my GP and my former employer and members of my own family.
I think these directions are pure evil.

But have I coped with these rules?
Well I left my lovely home in Warrnambool, loaded up the car and took my beautiful wife to go pick cherries in NSW and live in a tent. Since then the bosses have asked us to stay on and have provided us with a free house.
In that time we have both lost weight, I have gone from 102kg to 86kg. I have not been this healthy or strong since I last played footy in 2004.
So yes, I believe I have coped extremely well.
And I will praise God Almighty with every breath.
While others may ROTFLing, I will put my face on the floor and give Him all the glory. He has made a way for us and renewed our strength.
Blessed are those who trust in His name.

Stupidity.

According to the World Health Organization, smoking kills around 8 million people per year.
That is 3 times as many as Covid.
But apparently a Covid death is more important than a smoking death because with Covid, the World Health Organization recommended shutting down the entire world, forcing nappies onto our faces, which have not worked and jabbing the whole population with an experimental synthetic drug that doesn't prevent infection.

But with smoking, the World Health Organization come up with what?
A 'World No Tobacco Day' on March 31.
Wow! And on top of that, they now have a female robot that can help you quit by giving you encouragements via text message.

Stupidity reigns in the religious cult of science.

How about banning all tobacco industry?
That would actually save 8 million lives every year.

'No we cant do that!'
'Why not?'
'Because people have the freedom to choose.......oops'

Stupidity reigns in the religious cult of science.

You are being played for fools, people. Turn off the bloody TV and do some research.
There is no virus, they just made the flu a bit more scary.
And this is all about climate change.
They know that the average bloke on the street isn't actually that terrified of climate change, but they do know that the average bloke on the street is terrified of a mystery bat virus, particularly if it comes from China.
Lockdowns are very effective in reducing emissions.

And you can laugh as much as you like at me, but remember what you have just read.
Because when the next pandemic is released, there will be more lockdowns and the Governments will be giving more power to authorities to come onto your property and forcibly test you and haul you into quarantine if you are positive.

And people like me will have no option but to defend myself by whatever means possible, because nobody is injecting me alive.

Also with smoking, it is a slow death over years and many visits to hospitals and GPs. A bigger burden on our health system. It's irreversible damage to your lungs and other organs. A friend's aunty had a lung transplant, but her body never took to the new lungs so six weeks later .... dead. She was a smoker.

Yes, lock-downs were / are effective in reducing carbon emissions, albeit for a short time, but they won't stop the Earth's global warming problem or maybe many of them will?

It's always good reading your threads and posts.

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind.
