this week we got the admission from the Chief Medical Officer in Victoria - “climate” zealot Brett Sutton - that he didn’t recommend Victoria’s curfew.

now we have this:

10 Sept: Warwick Daily News Australia: Revealed: Australia wrongly sent into lockdown after error
by Matthew Benns, Daily Telegraph
Coronavirus modelling used by the Federal Government to send Australia into ­financially crippling lockdown used the wrong figures and dramatically over-estimated how many people could need intensive care.
When the modelling was released at the start of the pandemic by the Melbourne-based Peter Doherty Institute, it horrified health officials.
“This is a horrendous scenario,” chief medical officer Brendan Murphy said at the time. “A daily demand for new intensive care beds of 35,000 plus.”

But The Daily Telegraph can reveal the modelling that Prof Murphy said was “highly technical” and could only be understood by people with “scientific brains” was wrong.
The modelling accidentally transposed the figures for the number of people who would be hospitalised during COVID-19 if no measures were taken for the number of people who would be admitted into intensive care units.

The error made the effect of the pandemic appear four times worse than the modelling actually intended, predicting 12,000 people in NSW would go into ICU rather than 3000. And it informed the advice that led to economically crippling lockdowns across the nation.

“I strongly believe we lock down too hard,” James Cook University professor of infectious diseases modelling Emma McBryde said.
Her team in Queensland uncovered the error after they were left “scratching our heads” over why the Melbourne modelling was so much worse than their own.
Once her team had worked out how the error occurred, they contacted the Doherty ­researchers and received an email back confirming the modelling would be updated.
“That was three months ago and we are still waiting,” Prof McBryde said.
***The ABC quoted the incorrect figures again this week.
“Leaving something inaccurate uncorrected on the public record is pretty close to research misconduct,” Prof McBryde said.

Professor Jodie McVernon, from the Doherty Institute, confirmed the error was ­noticed in June but said it was confined to two graphs and “the conclusions on the ­response strategies needed to ensure enough ICU beds were available were still accurate”.
She said they informed the government of the mistake at the time.

The Australian Police are an interesting system, unlike Europe or the United States.

There are, essentially, six Australian states and the Federal territory controlled by the central government.

Australia has a strong federal system, in many ways stronger than the U.S. federal system.

Each state has its police force, so there is no really "local" police. The state government send the police to local areas and move them around at will.

A very centralized police system in each state.

But not like Europe, with one police force for the whole country.

Imagine an entire nation whose governmental structure is Gretchen Whitmer, and you have Australia, NZ and Canadia.

[marktwain]

Yes, they are.

I think elected law enforcement is a check and balance the framers did not consider.

Probably would be a good thing instead of police departments run by mayor and/or city council.

Directly accountable to the people.

- - The country started going bad during the 1980's - -

True. I remember after defecting from the commies in mid 80's I wanted to apply for Australian asylum at the embassy in Vienna.
Was refused, the reason: I was white and my English wasn't good enough. :-)

Authorities in Quebec , Canada have announced they will isolate “uncooperative” citizens in a coronavirus facility, the location of which remains a secret.

New Zealand announced similar measures, saying that they will put all new coronavirus infectees and their close family members in “quarantine facilities.”

If you go on InfoWars you will find a really shocking video of a pregnant Australian mom being arrested in her own home for going on Facebook to plan a protest again the draconian Australian covid lockdown.

[cradle of freedom]

There is a reason why this is mandatory and why this has not happened with other virus Looks more totalitarian every day.

[cradle of freedom]

Funny that is the exact same methods that democrats used here.

[cradle of freedom]

I am not sure how it works but aren’t sheriffs elected by the people?

[marktwain]

Yes, sheriffs are elected.

I think police chiefs should be elected as well.

It would be a check and balance against mayors and city councils.

[cradle of freedom]

Yes, mayors are politicians and I think that police chiefs should be elected. With all of the violence and rioting going on I wonder how many people actually know that police have to take order from Mayors. The shifty politician Mayors hide behind the police allowing them to take the blame for the politicians corruption and stupidity and the police have to keep their mouths shut. I wish some anonymous police officers would write a tell all book about what really goes on in the cities.
