Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 94 ….

“I can promise you this, that under the 70 per cent road map, unvaccinated people will have very little changes to their freedoms to what they have today,” the Deputy Premier told radio station 2GB.

If you are (for whatever reason, hesitancy, bad earlier experiences, or, sadly, because you have digested too much online crankery), just go and see your doctor and get vaccinated. No one here has to know ....

If you are Catholic or have friends who are Catholic, and have issues around getting "jabbed", please watch this excellent video with @BishopUmbers & Dr Ruella Clipsham on Covid & Vaccination hosted by @parracatholic 👇 ✝️🇻🇦

Mysterious absence of Brad "Chad" Hazzard here ...

And suddenly "vertical drinking" appears?

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
Gladys is right here - ridiculous you can leave Sydney for, say, the Napa Valley in California but you cannot go to the Margaret River wineries in WA. I realise WA voters did vote for this but it is impoverishing madness.

Amazing that in the era of the 'Great British Bake Off' that Keir Starmer could not see the importance of keeping the Bakers (defined broadly) in the 'big tent', or, in the 'big kitchen', as it were.
"BFAWU emphasised that far from leaving the political scene, it intends to become more political and battle for £15 per hour for all workers, the abolition of zero hours contracts and an end to a lower minimum wage for young people."

Going to be busy diving into Keir Starmer alienating the Bakers union in the UK … what a time to be alive. Man does not live on bread alone etc but very hard to win a general election when the bakers union wants to mill you and slice you up, toast style

Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 95 ….

[James Glen Wilson, "Farm Cove 'man of war roads' Sydney as taken from Fort Denison", 1860]

It is the Delta strain and whether you think Daniel Andrews is the best or worst Premier - or just an overpromoted political hack - no government of an open society can do much to prevent the Delta spread except make vaccines available & jabs accessible

This by @apatrickafr is right: @GladysB really has been the hope of the side in 2021. Everyone in New South Wales has carried Australia - esp the reception of returning Australians with Plague - on our broad, blue-jerseyed back.

I am in Sydney & the ANZAC Memorial (like @AWMemorial & the Shrine etal) was built as a shrine for our war dead & esp the families of those who served, whose loved ones in the Great War had no grave or whose grave the families could never visit. These are thus very solemn places.
Now, reasonable people can disagree about protests. I have been in one, for the @SSFCRABBITOHS reinstatement to the NRL competition. As Souths were and are a 1908 Foundation Club, our exclusion raised many passions, but none that required violence or the desecration of a shrine.
According to Captain Stephen Bowater of the Melbourne Shrine, interviewed by @ljayes, yesterday's protesters did not just use the Shrine for protest, necessitating police responses, but also used it in a gross manner that required members of the public to go there & clean it up.

Noting discussions of Sir Robert Peel in the discourse.

Robert Peel betrayed the Conservative Party & Britain when he repealed the Corn Laws. Peel’s betrayal, as Disraeli noted, was a crime against the territorial constitution & a theft of power from the country to the city.
There is a strange Twitter brain-dead-ery that pretends Edmund Burke & Robert Peel were conservatives that anyone should heed or take seriously. Burke was a Whig & he supported the Americans rebelling against their lawful King. Burke suddenly got scared when the French did same.
As for Robert Peel, no man did more to introduce the spivvery & crookery of the moneyed classes into politics than Peel. He repealed the Corn Laws on the pretext of making food cheaper, impoverishing the British countryside for illusions of cheap (foreign) bread. Then came WW1...

Some random Tik-Tokkers & YouTubers seem destined to achieve more in a homicide case than the FBI and various police forces. The bureaucratic machine goes 'kerplunk'.
If you have cable TV, you periodically have these quite bonkers American criminal cases come into the news feed, in which the very likely criminal acts and their perpetrator is mostly ignored by police in favour of doing nothing under the pretext of 'well, s/he has rights'.
Girl & Guy are gf/bf ... go away in her vehicle on long road trip. Girlfriend is then not heard of for days. The boyfriend arrives home, driving her car, but without her. He was last person seen with her. Nothing is done. Her body later found, coroner says homicide. Bf at large.

Every Australian should be getting behind this @Wallabies team ... thankfully the Wallabies jersey is, again, gold, and hopefully it will never, ever, be changed again & anyone proposing any change is shackled to a scrum machine for the rest of their natural life.

Hopefully, Quade Cooper is or will soon be an Australian citizen. The least he deserves, really.

#AUSvRSA
Hopefully this referee avoids the ever present temptation to play a role in the game
