Covid-19 has been a walk in the park for me. But rather than get complacent, I'm upping my prep game. This report just validates why I should be doing just that.

These "experts" should've paid a panel of Australia's most notorious "Militant Survivalists" around $450 000 per individual to consult on these matters!

I have read some things people are saying that if governments can shut down countries over this virus, what is to keep them from shutting down the country the same or tighter, for longer, from pressure from groups promoting, say........ climate change, or fill in the blank.... ?? ??

They really have no idea, it's all good news week crap from fools that have no clue! Like for f**ksake we aren't on a Gubberment Watchlist for charity folks! I don't mind the AFP and NSW Police having a sniff of my dirty undies every second day but surely we deserve some fiscal compensation at the end! Excellent. And because I'm Numba 1 and you're Numba 2, my fee should be larger than yours. |

All about what people perceive as being their own self interest as to what they'll put up with.
Take the new Covid phone tracker app ... I'm signed up because I perceive way more benefit than harm.
I always marvel at air travel in that respect. The Bullshit treatment the average air traveler submits to just to save a few hours travel time is fantastic.
I reckon they could introduce anal probes next to the x-ray machines and most people would still take a plane ... so long as they thought said probe was for their own safety.

Our defence is in big trouble. It's been what, nearly a decade or more since the last defence white paper was written, and that took 2 years to process, in the same 2 years China had built and commissioned multiple battleships.
The new submarines we are buying will take 10-20yrs between the first build and the last build is delivered and they aren't even nuclear subs, but just dirty old diesel powered because our government has a bug in it's ear about nuclear (esp Labor which has a party policy of zero nuclear..mining, power, export, weapons and subs)
There needs to be a serious wakeup call to every single politician to pull their finger out and green light a mass of defence major upgrades on a realistic speedy timetable. Remove the internal politicking between states and federal on who gets the contract to build things and just get it done and fast. We have hundreds of thousands of people out of work now, use it to employ them and keep the unions out of things so they don't demand unrealistic wages and kickbacks for massive projects putting them well outside of budget.
Do you think China's states kick the can about who gets to build their massive naval fleet like ours do? Nope, they just get it done.

Hard to implement when this country is hell bent on destroying itself from the inside aka Cate Mcgregor and the rest of the lgbt militia. We have soft cocks running the country and shemales and fat dykes running the military/navy. China and russia must laugh out loud at us. Its not an if but when we go communist, i guarantee it by the end of this decade. I said to a family member who is in the military (now wants out as its too hard and those in charge are too bossy) that we are weak in comparison to south east asia, russia and china. Got death stares all round!

The only manager at my workplace whom I respect for her leadership qualities is a lesbian. Sexual preference doesn't determine someone's ability to lead.

I don't give a fying flark what you do in your own bedroom like that is your business! However I've got to admit the best mid level management team we ever had in our place were two "girlfriends"! While Gay blokes have proven to be been universally hopeless! I will say though if they ever try to make this "Gay" thing compulsory in NSW I'm gonna make a run for the Queensland border! |

I didnt say that, but when you have nancy boys running around trying to women and women running around trying to men when they cant be is a bit of a travesty dont you agree, especially if you plonk them in roles where its life and death, not delivering the fooking mail. |

Should always be best person for the job, none of that equal opportunity affirmative action nonsense.
Doesn't matter if you're white, black or gay or whatever. If you are the best at leading you should be leader, where you want to stick your pecker shouldn't be a factor.
Sadly though nowadays in many fields they do make it a factor, heck they make it the main factor and better people for the job get sidelined.
I'll never understand why fitness requirements for the military for example are not universal and apply the same for both males and females when the role should demand the same of them.

I've heard many times how women shouldn't be in combat units if they can't carry a wounded male soldier to safety., usually from shallow thinkers who have no concept of modern warfare. Most men can't carry a fully laden infantry soldier either, and how the fark are our infantry supposed to complete their missions in Muslim AO's if they don't include female soldiers to interview and search female muslim civilians? It's not rocket science, unless you're an overweight middle aged mysogonist. |

Do you think China's states kick the can about who gets to build their massive naval fleet like ours do? Nope, they just get it done. The greatest threat from China isn't military, it's economic and political. We've allowed far too much Chinese influence in our political system and far too much economic dependence. Remove those threats and the Chinese have no realistic ability to touch us. |

Our problem however is that we have way too many Politicians and Senior Public Servants who are totally bought and owned by their Chinese Masters!! |

It's not rocket science, unless you're an overweight middle aged mysogonist. I certainly get why women may be useful in a combat unit to be more culturally aware in certain matters (e.g., searching Muslim women) but that's no excuse for why a bloke would be required to do 15 pushups whereas a woman would only need to do 8 for any fitness test. 15 pushups, the initial fitness test requirements aren't excessive. If anything the initial requirements are too low so if somebody would struggle I don't understand why they didn't bother literally taking a few days to prepare for it. Now based on your individual role fitness requirements may be different (e.g. requirements for air force compared to army), but if you share a role you should have the same minimal requirements no matter if you're male or female. Has nothing to do with being able to carry a fella to safety or overweight middle aged mysogonism. Simply doing 15 pushups and 45 sit ups doesn't mean you can endure Kapooka much less the front lines, so that's not what I'm arguing. If a female soldier can't even be expected to do 15 pushups then what does that say about the quality of our military? |
