Learning History 101 (Or, the Education of Ms Claire Lehmann)
The Covid Class gets furious when freedom fighters like George Christensen and others with spine and morals compare Covid totalitarianism with Nazi Germany and similar "papers please" regimes. One recent example of the vitriol in print occurred in The Australian. The journalist involved displayed all the typical attributes of someone without a leg to stand on.
Jack the Low Information Insider
The Australian corporate media have been an arm of Government Covid propaganda these past eighteen months. The Murdoch press has been at the forefront. One of its prominent journalists has been the pointy end of the propaganda spear. His name is Peter Hoysted. He even gives himself a pseudonym. He talks rubbish.
Australia’s Deep and Sinister Covid North
While it is difficult to know exactly what is going on in the Northern Territory, there is enough news emerging about which to be very worried. With yet another mini-me dictator at the helm intent on pushing people around, absent any knid of serious crisis. This article was written mainly for a British readership.

There has never, ever been vaccine logic during the current pandemia. There certainly isn't now. While Victorians are grappling with new dictatorial powers seemingly about to be passed by its Parliament, the State to its immediate north has entered the vaccine twilight zone, with medical apartheid now extended indefinitely.

Scotty from Astra Zeneca
The gloves are now off in the vaccine wars, with almost daily attacks on the non-vaccinated and threats of vaccine apartheid. These attacks are without precedent in this liberal democracy of ours, and constitute the greatest attack on personal freedom in our history. I will stop writing about it as soon as the attacks on us stop.
Othering the Great Unvaccinated – a New Phase in the Blame Game
The great unvaccinated hordes are not only selfish granny killers. They (we) are trashing the economy as well. Treasury says so.
Whacko Hazzard, No Moral Hazard
We expects thugs like Daniel Andrews to behave like thugs. What we do not expect is that members of a party and a government with "liberal" in their names will take to abusing citizens, locking people up for dissent and imposing house arrest on its people.
The Illiberalism of Pro-Vaxxer “Liberals”
Those who have opposed lockdowns because of the impact they have on personal freedom should also be manning the barricades in relation to vaccine mandates, and not giving them a pass because they will help return life to "normal".
