Omicron is an f-ing cold!
As we glean more and more every day about this massive, astonishing scam the worldwide Left has pulled on us, the nations that went along with it in quest of power or profit should be shunned, perhaps in perpetuity, by all clear-thinking people.
My hat is off to Novak for standing up to the fascists running the Australian Democratic Republic (ADR) the way General Draža Mihailović battled against the tyranny imposed by the Nazis, fascists and Stalinists on Yugoslavia during WWII. Even if he wins his battle, I hope he departs the ADR and vows never to return.
Wouldn’t that cause a lot of bad press for the government, or do they even care?
Yeah, you must be careful what you joke about in the Australian Democratic Republic, just as you had to do in the German Democratic Republic.
I’m suggesting Americans don’t joke about it. Not Australians.
Good post, Fiji Hill.
If the United States hadn’t been fraudulently taken over by the old, decrepit, corrupt men of the Left determined to enslave the world for their children and grandchildren before they die, we Yanks would be in our rightful place, fighting for freedom for the other countries living under this evil, reprehensible “medical” tyranny.
Internationally, probably. But most of the international outrage would be coming from people who don't have any understanding of what's actually going on in Australia and are already outraged because they've been mislead about the country. It's getting a bit hard for us to care all that much about what ignorant foreigners think when they are spouting so much crap about the country.
In Australia - honestly, it would probably be more popular than unpopular. Partly because we are sick to death of foreigners lying and misrepresenting our country, so he could wind up a scapecoat for that. Partly because people who have been forced to comply with the rules here are more than a bit annoyed that he's been given special treatment, and been allowed to not follow the vaccine mandates people here have had to. I mean - I think most people would probably thinking locking him up is going too far, but there isn't a great deal of sympathy for him here, and a lot of people are really angry.
Oh, Oh, you are going to upset the flock now!
Wouldn’t that cause a lot of bad press for the government

Click-bait isn’t pertinent anymore?

11 Jan: Spectator Australia: It’s a win for ‘Novax’ and a win for Australia
by Nick Kestelein
The first win shouldn’t be undervalued; it’s one in a series of wins we sorely need as we try to recover a few Western democratic norms in the coming year. What a good start though, to be reassured that our bureaucrats have a duty to provide due process according to written rules, rather than daily diktats, and that they can be held to account.
But the second win we need is a win for good sense, because things have changed in the last two weeks and paradigms need to shift in response...
Though the situation has changed dramatically, public mindsets have not. It’s terrible that so many Australians found themselves on the losing side of Novak’s legal battle. This is not their fault, but the fault of a blissfully under-informed, biased, sensationalist, and frankly dishonest media. At the time I write this, they’re leaning into it; holding onto the fading hope that a minister will overrule and send Novak home. That minister is a moron if he does...
Our media and politicians have been reckless to stoke division. They need to start explaining to the Australian public that an unvaccinated person, at most, poses a threat to themselves – not the people around them. And that if an unvaccinated person is young and very healthy and has already had and recovered from the virus at least twice before – they aren’t presenting any risk...

12 Jan: Spectator Australia: Game, set and match to Mr Djokovic
by David Long
Djokovic’s appeal win must be very embarrassing for Scott Morrison, who sanctimoniously lectured us in his tough-man voice: ‘Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders. No one is above these rules.’ With those few words, Scot Morrison revealed himself to be a gloating bully quite happy to implicitly defend his Border Force employees who, it seems, had broken far more serious rules by not allowing Novak to obtain legal advice.
And it is particularly sad in a country noted for the ‘fair go’ to find hundreds of people who would still deny Djokovic’s win and the benefit of a law that anyone of us in similar circumstances can use...
In answer to Judge Kelly’s question, ‘What more could he have done?’ quite a few people said he should have got vaccinated, which seems to prove that many Australians do not know that ‘exemption’ means ‘excused from being vaccinated’...
None of it should have happened because there were so many opportunities for the federal government and its various agencies to check Mr Djokovic’s documents before he left Serbia or before he boarded the plane. That would have been one way to pre-empt the problem that unvaccinated players from overseas posed.
Unfortunately, it appears that Morrison’s incompetent government had approved a transfer of responsibility for that final decision to Tennis Australia and the Victorian government, which meant that their control of the visa process had already been compromised. Worse still, the Morrison government knew what rules those two bodies were administering and, despite their caveats during the process, had approved them...
There are many reasons why what Australia has done to Novak Djokovic will remain a canker on our national reputation for giving everyone a fair go for a long time. It would be interesting to know if they received instructions from a minister to do what Justice Kelly said they did. If that is the case, that minister should resign...
PS: If reports are correct that the federal government is investigating Novak to see if he travelled in the 14 days subsequent to his infection with a view to cancelling his visa, it will prove that all that I’ve said above about Morrison’s bullying is correct. It will be nothing less than revenge for his having won the appeal and it’s about time that Morrison retired. He was never suited to the top job and this is just another example of the old saying: ‘It’s not only cream that floats to the top.’

Who cares? Baseline robots game now. 130 serves. 5hr. baseline robots. Boring and monotonous. Boring.
The net artistry dead. The game dead.
Yes, people are pretty angry all over the world. I got this link from a friend. I guess it’s in Queensland. I guess the cops didn’t like the fact that the manager didn’t mask up. It was good to see the people run the cops out. The cops got shouted down. I believe they were fed up with this garbage. 😀🤗
Well, you’re wrong about that.
I’ve been very active in fighting the genuine attempts at totalitarianism and authoritarianism in Australia over the last two years.
But it doesn’t help when people make up other crap - and so getting the facts out there is actually important. I’m surprised that is so resisted here.
Any open match without the number one player participating would be just another match. I am sure he could live without the winnings from the match, key word being “live”. It would be a travesty if he caved, got vaccinated, and had a hearth attack while playing. But it would be the worse nightmare for those trying to cover up the vaccine related death issue. I hope he stands his ground.
Having visited...in Melbourne, the Australian Open is the ‘Holy Grail’ (locals feel this way). If I were the PM, I’d start looking for some way to settle this real quick.
Having lived in Melbourne, the majority of my life, the Australian Open really isn’t that big a deal to most people. The biggest international sporting event by far is the Boxing Day test. The Australian Open has a decent following but most people don’t really care that much. If Australians won it all the time, there would probably be more interest but we don’t much like sports where we don’t dominate.
I am not sure about Boxing Day Test. You might be surprised that cricket is becoming less popular. The Melbourne Cup might be the most popular country-wide, even though horse racing is becoming less popular too. O
