In two years of Covid scams, surely the Omicron variant takes the cake.  Watch for the Covid class to double down on hysteria, panic and punishment, with boosters on top of  boosters, against a viral enemy that now appears impotent.

There have been a number of strategies to make everyone get the Covid jab.  Some offer carrots, others use sticks.  The othering of the unvaccinated has taken many forms, too, some of them nasty, others clueless.  Our low information professors are now entering the fray, much to their shame.

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.

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.

The NSW Parliament considers granting a right to assisted dying.  To the old and infirm.  We are killing them off already.

Three economists have written a cracking book on the Covid affair.  Gigi Foster is at the University of New South Wales.  She and her colleagues have sought to explain the madness of the past nearly two years.  The book should be required reading for those who value freedom and sanity.  A public policy master class.  It was an honour to review it.

This week saw the surreal scapegoating of a visitor to Byron Bay who was authorised to travel there and who, testing positive for Covid, "caused" a lockdown.  The town's hopes for economic recovery were crushed yet again by Macquarie St fiat.  But there is more.  The woman was ... vaccinated!
