The 2017 post also sounds like someone who usually votes Labor though...

Perhaps I should let Tannin speak for himself, but he's been pretty open on here in the past about voting Liberal in 2010 and that Labor is usually his 2nd or 3rd preference at best.

Tannin votes Green, P4S Green unless there's a socialist party. WPT has a framed picture of Dandrews arse on his wall covered in lovebites.

Actually, I don't vote Green, though I generally preference them above Labor. And sometimes I can't find anyone better than a Green in my electorate. But I strongly object to the Greens' immigration and population policies, and don't care for a lot of their inner-city trendy woke BS. All that said, of the major parties, they are the least worst in my book.

I used to vote for the Australian Democrats pretty much every time until that <snip> Meg Lees stabbed Australia in the back with her GST treachery. Haven't really had a regular party to vote for since that time.

I like martial arts and regularly watch the UFC on Foxtel.
I have never thought of martial arts being "naked ..... porn" though.
Tannin must watch it for different reasons than I do.
I like martial arts too and practiced it for many years in my late 20’s and early 30’s: Judo and Jui Jutsu; Tannin was spot on about UFC.

I actually have a great photo of the twice elected Premier of Victoria the Right Honourable Daniel Andrews when he was the once elected Premier of Victoria with my youngest taking a selfie:

She did a Parliamentary internship as part of her Politics Major a few years back and it was the 25th anniversary of that programme. Daniel Andrews, the twice elected Premier was a guest speaker (for all of 5 minutes) as he was Dux of the inaugural internship programme. My daughter (says me proudly) got a high distinction for her research work for a then minister in State Government ( assessed academically through the University of Melbourne)

While we're waiting for the inevitable, some more news.

A woman who was vaccinated, developed blood clots hours later and has died. https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavir ... 04c40fcba6


With mutant variations of the virus popping up everywhere, this shit aint going away any time soon vaccine's or not.

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/healt ... 83e7764fc3

And for fans of wastewater analysis
Millions of Melburnians are being urged to monitor for symptoms of the coronavirus after viral fragments were detected in a “large wastewater catchment” that services the city’s northern, western and eastern suburbs.
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/healt ... 2ba176ae01

More fun and games, virus is running rampant in India and Brazil, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine also causes blood clots and people who get the Pfizer vaccine are likely to need a 3rd shot as a booster 6-12 months after the second shot.

Call me cynical but if I was selling a vaccine I would be selling one that had to be constantly renewed too.

They imported a million doses of the vax into Thailand but where is the roll out? I suspect the military, police and families will get it and the rest of the population can get rooted. I may never get back to Australia while these bozos here and in Australia continue to dither it is all doom and gloom.

It is all very well for Alan Joyce to say passengers have to be vaccinated but it won't happen.

I have absolutelly zero confidence ina nay country and any politician to solve this and the best way will be when manufacturers have surplus and commercial organisations can deliver them
