    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Insanity.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        The air belongs to the government.

        Just be happy they don't tax it.

          Some idiot bureaucrat's idea. It won't stand.

              Law is codified morality.

              Now, ponder those morals...

                Is this about something more than Rugby and a way of keeping the games going? I feel like I missing something.

                  It looks as though it's a reaction to a breach of Covid protocol

                  https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/news-2021-queensland-covid19-bubbles-dr-jeanette-young-penrith-panthers-apisai-koroisau/e485ced5-abfe-4b39-af6e-7a730438d3be

                  So I guess what happens is people are breaking the restrictions, passing stuff between bubbles, and somebody invites a girl into his room, so then the authorities clamp down on the use of the the hotel balconies.

                  I was only joking

                    If it prevents a single person from getting COVID, it's worth it.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Thousands protest lockdown in Sydney

                      “We live in a democracy and normally I am certainly one who supports people’s rights to protest ... but at the present time we’ve got cases going through the roof and we have people thinking that’s OK to get out there and possibly be close to each other at a demonstration,” said state Health Minister Brad Hazzard.

                      Here's their cases "through the roof."

                      Five per million. Five.

                      Here's the deaths.

                      But...as far as vaccinations go, Oz isn't doing all that well. Similar to India.

                      If the Delta variant is the big deal there (and it probably is), they're potentially rough times with such a low percentage vaccinated.

                        It takes a lot of virtue to shut things down at that point.

                          It’s the future folks are worried about. One respected predictive analytics firm is represented here:

                          https://covid19.healthdata.org/australia?view=resource-use&tab=trend&resource=all_resources

                          Let’s revisit in October.
