A letter to NSW from VIC. Hi guys. The situation you are in is a challenge, but it isn't one that you can't rise to, master, and move on. Yes, your Premier is a self promoting twit. It kind of doesn't matter, because you, the people of NSW, can stop COVID in its tracks. /2
All you have to do, is stay home. Keep your home well ventilated - it might be a bit chilly, but that's okay. Catch some exercise each day - especially if the sun is shining. Compress shopping to one trip/week if you can, and use QR codes. /3
Make this time at home a special time. If you are being bullied at work, you are free from those bastards now. If you have a long commute, you now have 3 hours/day more time for yourself. Reconnect with your spouse. Cook wonderful meals. Have a nice drink. /4
It is a great chance to catch up with those things you love, but always seem to put off: Read that book; listen to music; watch that film; phone friends and family for a chat. You will remember this time for the rest of your lives, so make you memories wonderful. /5
And you know, if you do this, all of you do this, the virus won't be able to spread. People wont be meeting each other enough for the virus to move from one to another, and it will die out. You can literally do something good by doing nothing at all. /6
Follow our example. We did nothing and it turned out to be the best thing we've ever done. You can do this. I promise you. Love VIC.

There I was quietly swimming in my lane, and next thing I know, Alan Kohler damn near drowns me as he steams past in my lane, asking biomedical/health questions in a press conference. So I'm going to return the favour: Let's talk about the economy. /2
My thesis is that what seems "Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air." Things seem great on the face of it. Unemployment is said to be low; housing and stocks are going gangbusters; there are more luxury cars on the streets than ever before... /3
On the other hand, they cannot be. Our economy is missing the 1 million foreign tertiary students it used to contain - at one time, our largest export. Those students lived in (mostly) apartments that are now empty, and given our failure in vaccination, will likely stay so. /4

So we wake to another new day in out country ruled by the depraved, perverts and credibly accused rapists, and their fellow travellers. The Perverts' Party has long held that anyone accused of depravity or sexual assault in their party should not face an investigation. /2
In the past, this has been achieved (whether by intent or accident) by wiping public records, getting the AFP to sequester documents from the relevant police force, & running defamation suits against news services. But yesterday they hit a new low. Perverts rejoice! /3
Yesterday, a member of the Senate, Larissa Waters, tried to introduce a private member’s bill for an inquiry into rape allegations against a Minister of the Government. The government blocked the introduction of the bill. /4

I just want to say, that we have had a state in Australia fighting down, not one, but two super-spreader variants of COVID. By they time the first case was found, it was already in two aged care facilities. And the team was already over week behind. /2
Never achieved before - to suppress either variant anywhere. So what support did the Federal Government offer this state? Almost nothing. Promises of more vaccines. Distractions of an ex-Attorney General fighting democracy. Distractions of a media tart with observer status. /3
And the tame, in house, Federal Government-alligned media groups in a demented, feral rant against: learning, study, science, logic, reasoning, compassion, caution, and common sense. If we ever survive these idiots, it will be a bloody miracle. /4

@denniallen @AnimaeOK Most of the mainstream media are effectively the same politico/propaganda organisation:
1) #Newscorpse was founded by Rupert Murdoch, the son of the man who founded the Liberal Party, Keith Murdoch. /2
@denniallen @AnimaeOK 2) The Chair of the ABC, Ita Buttrose held election fund raisers for the Liberal Party and was hand picked by Liberal Leader, Scott Morrison in breach of the accepted selection procedure. /3
@denniallen @AnimaeOK 3) The Nine Entertainment Co, which also publishes the ex-Fairfax newspapers Age and Sydney Morning Herald, is Chaired by Ex-Liberal Treasurer Peter Costello. /4

Mr Gaetjens is paid $875,000pa. This is his performance in Senate estimates:

Wong: What do you understand the facts to be that you are verifying?
Gaetjens: Um. Pimin... Tck... Senator I’m… I’m. Ah. I’m going to take that on notice because I want… /2
Wong: [Astonished; Interrupting] YOU DON’T KNOW??? You don’t know what you are supposed to be verifying in this enquiry?
Chair: [Speaking over Wong]: Senators – allow the witness to respond.
Gaetjens: I want to make sure that I have not... /3
Because that relates back to events in the middle of February, and I’m not going to just... Talk about this from the top of my head. I do not want to... Either mislead or promote wrong inflorflations (sic). I will find out… It’s all in the media so it’s sop nop (sic)… /4

I just want to talk about this apartment. It is 1930's; a bit shabby. Let's say, a bit run down. Sash windows with (f*ing idiots) broken sash cords that are broken. Paint cracked and peeling. BUT. But this: There's no place in it where you can't see at least two doors. /2
Most places, 3. Including passageways 4. And including any wondering eye line, 5. How the hell do you build a place a small apartment, where where ever you stand, your eye wonders off to a new thing to do? /3
Whoever did this was a genius. I've visited adjoining apartments, and they are shit The whole complex was built to create this: optical illusion; eye-line trap of enticement; microcosm of the world. /4
