24.01.2022 This is unbelievable. Once a year raising money for kids with cancer & so much red tape & $$ to extend the ‘red line’ from the building to the pavement. In a struggling regional town the road should be closed to promote this - c’mon council - get a grip
23.01.2022 The 'commercialisation of research' - very timely! Full article here: Scott Morrison’s multibillion-dollar manufacturing strategy will be a centrepiece of the federal government’s five-year blueprint to create millions of future jobs and reshape Australia’s post-pandemic economy. Ahead of next Tuesday’s budget, the Prime Minister will this week focus on the government’s long-term plan to support industry and advanced manufacturing, as the nation emerges from the COVID-19 e...Continue reading
19.01.2022 ‘Tightly controlled government’ by a Premier out of control Full article here: The fact Victoria has suffered the worst public policy disaster in Australian history - and still no one knows who made key decisions that caused the disaster - proves backroom political operators should never be given party leadership again, writes Adem Somyurek. Being a minister at the time of the now infamous creeping assumption decision to use private security guards in hotel quarantine, I sh...Continue reading
17.01.2022 Busy life - what am understatement! Full article here: Even if she had not been anointed by Donald Trump to be the next US Supreme Court judge, Amy Coney Barrett was, by any measure, a serial overachiever. Any parent who juggles seven children five biological, two adopted from Haiti, with a Down syndrome child among them alongside a sparkling top-shelf legal career deserves respect....Continue reading
15.01.2022 Can only agree ...
15.01.2022 The political motivations of our #ABC exposed? Full article here: Monday night’s Four Corners story was not a public interest expose about the secret sex lives of Liberal ministers Christian Porter and Alan Tudge. The poorly executed political hatchet job by Four Corners has backfired dreadfully on women and kicked an own goal for the #MeToo movement. A base level of intellect could have predicted this. By airing a string of nebulous claims by women against Porter and Tudge...Continue reading
14.01.2022 6% attributed to Covid-19 alone does put a different slant on the figures and threat to healthy individuals. (By 94%!)
13.01.2022 Can’t argue with that, a very reasonable voice in the midst of chaos https://twitter.com/govkristino/status/1325462901407289344
13.01.2022 If #DanAndrews wouldn’t listen to the concerned doctors will he listen to the jurists? Full article here; An eminent group of retired judges and high-powered Queen’s Counsels has written an open letter calling on the Victorian Parliament to reject legislation that makes it easier to detain people during the coronavirus pandemic. Fourteen legal figures have taken the unusual step of coming together to launch a scathing attack, warning the Andrews Government’s COVID-19 Omnibus...Continue reading
13.01.2022 Now we understand the amnesia. Full article here: The Victorian politicians and public servants caught in the hotel quarantine saga do not have amnesia but rather have a genuine fear that any admission of liability will cause them to be prosecuted under Victorian law. If found guilty they face a potential jail sentence of up to 25 years and/or a fine of $16.5m. Never before in Australian history have so many cabinet members and senior public servants faced such a danger so it...Continue reading
13.01.2022 Country pubs doing it tough with city centric Covid restrictions (often in covid free areas) on the heels of bushfires. C’mon #danandrews give them a break.

11.01.2022 2020 and we read headlines like this. Unthinkable.
11.01.2022 Good news. ‘ Germany's chemical and steel industries would be among the "first customers" as soon as Australian hydrogen production chains were established‘
06.01.2022 Oh - 10 of 11 assessments have not been produced ... this will be interesting! The state government has been ordered to release the legal advice relied on to extend Melbourne’s curfew to lawyers challenging the lockdown measure. The government is resisting the release of certain information Associate Professor Michelle Giles said she relied on when extending the curfew on September 13.... But Supreme Court justice Tim Ginnane on Thursday ruled the legal advice must be made available to lawyers challenging the curfew by 5pm. In an affidavit before the court, Prof Giles said she relied on the advice to ensure the curfew complied with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. It included 11 individual assessments by the Legal Services Branch of the Department of Health and Human Services. However, 10 of those assessments have not been produced by the government amid a claim of legal privilege. Justice Ginnane said lawyers challenging the curfew had the right to inspect the documents. He said because Prof Giles said they factored in her consideration, the contents of those legal assessments or advices was in issue. Lawyers for Michelle Loielo, a Liberal Party member who is fighting the legality of the curfew, will continue to fight for access to all data and modelling she said she relied on to extend the measure. Prof Giles, who had spent nine days as the state’s Deputy Public Health Commander, said she relied on the data that proved a clear and direct correlation between stage 4 restrictions and a reduction in case numbers. Victoria’s curfew was put in place on August 2 to run from 8pm to 5am. From September 13 it was loosened by Prof Giles to 9pm to 5am and was due to expire on October 11. Asked on Thursday whether the curfew could be scrapped with an easing of restrictions on Sunday, Daniel Andrews said he had no announcements to make.
05.01.2022 That’s the thing with ‘collective responsibility’ - no ones actually responsible. Everyone assumes someone else has it covered. The lines should be clearer.
04.01.2022 Words fail - this is barbaric ...
02.01.2022 We note that, at similar case levels, NSW was fundamentally open while remaining COVID-safe due to a world-class contact tracing facility, the federal trio said in a joint statement.
