| The 2017 post also sounds like someone who usually votes Labor though... |

Perhaps I should let Tannin speak for himself, but he's been pretty open on here in the past about voting Liberal in 2010 and that Labor is usually his 2nd or 3rd preference at best.

Tannin votes Green, P4S Green unless there's a socialist party. WPT has a framed picture of Dandrews arse on his wall covered in lovebites.

Actually, I don't vote Green, though I generally preference them above Labor. And sometimes I can't find anyone better than a Green in my electorate. But I strongly object to the Greens' immigration and population policies, and don't care for a lot of their inner-city trendy woke BS. All that said, of the major parties, they are the least worst in my book.
I used to vote for the Australian Democrats pretty much every time until that <snip> Meg Lees stabbed Australia in the back with her GST treachery. Haven't really had a regular party to vote for since that time.

I like martial arts and regularly watch the UFC on Foxtel.
I have never thought of martial arts being "naked ..... porn" though.
Tannin must watch it for different reasons than I do. |
I like martial arts too and practiced it for many years in my late 20’s and early 30’s: Judo and Jui Jutsu; Tannin was spot on about UFC.

I actually have a great photo of the twice elected Premier of Victoria the Right Honourable Daniel Andrews when he was the once elected Premier of Victoria with my youngest taking a selfie:
She did a Parliamentary internship as part of her Politics Major a few years back and it was the 25th anniversary of that programme. Daniel Andrews, the twice elected Premier was a guest speaker (for all of 5 minutes) as he was Dux of the inaugural internship programme. My daughter (says me proudly) got a high distinction for her research work for a then minister in State Government ( assessed academically through the University of Melbourne)

| Call me cynical but if I was selling a vaccine I would be selling one that had to be constantly renewed too. |

Planed obsolescence
In other news, suck sh1t China
| Quote: | China won the first half of the COVID Cold War decisively. It executed lockdowns with immaculate precision, cuffing dissenters to balcony railings and sealing citizens in their homes. Having near-enough eliminated COVID within its own borders, it fired up its industrial engines to meet roaring demand for Chinese goods.
A diplomatic coup over the United States followed, as the World Health Organisation ruled out the Wuhan lab leak theory. Most powerful of all was China’s psychological victory; as Beijing exulted in the liberating discipline of the Chinese Way, the locked down West brooded over the selfish inadequacies of freedom.
Now, though, a lousy vaccine strategy and a counterfeit economic recovery are coming back to haunt the Chinese Communist Party. A Western world that has spent a year luxuriating in existential crisis might dare to wonder: is the brute force of the authoritarian, centralised state no match after all for the innovative agility of a free capitalist society? |
Seems their vaccine is only around 50% efficacy and their economy is doing crap.
| Quote: | China’s biopharma industry has remained small and low-grade because it is not possible to thrive in cutting-edge science by copying rivals (unlike with smartphones and solar panels).
Beijing has had to rely on outdated technology to churn out vaccines that are not only less effective than their Western equivalents but more expensive (the cost price for the Sinovac jab is $US30 per dose, compared with AstraZeneca’s $US3).
The state subsidises such mediocrity through an overly centralised procurement process that promotes a race to the bottom. The modest global growth of the Chinese pharma industry in recent years has been mired by corruption scandals and the recall of hundreds of thousands of vaccines. |
I hope it all turns to shit for the CCP.
| Quote: | There is much we can learn from China’s values – its hunger and energy and innate investment in the future, rather than just the present (which share the same tense in Mandarin).
But if it fails to learn, in turn, from the West that freedom is crucial to progress, the resurgent Middle Kingdom may yet turn out to be a stillborn superpower. |

They imported a million doses of the vax into Thailand but where is the roll out? I suspect the military, police and families will get it and the rest of the population can get rooted. I may never get back to Australia while these bozos here and in Australia continue to dither it is all doom and gloom.
It is all very well for Alan Joyce to say passengers have to be vaccinated but it won't happen.
I have absolutelly zero confidence ina nay country and any politician to solve this and the best way will be when manufacturers have surplus and commercial organisations can deliver them

Every time I see the world stats China makes me laugh, one day someone will find the hole the bodies are buried in.

Nah they wont, the crematoriums in Wuhan were on triple overtime, running 24/7, when the virus first hit them.
