White is not really my colour, you know that from our last date Bob.


Those real Tarty black net ones you wore were last years.

You're getting me mixed up with that other Sth. Australian Tart, Alexander. Is hallucinating a covid symptom? you may have to get tested Des.

Been there, done that, & have got the Body Temperature record. Normal they said 43*. Sounds alright to me.

I had the dubious pleasure of instructing at the RAN Nuclear, biological and chemical defence school, although none of the above, ship board fire fighting was my lot. I did sit in on lectures on the others if only to expand my knowledge , but I soon found there are probably things we are better off not knowing. The general concensus was , privately said, that in the event of the worst case happening, you assume the position [ head between the knees] and kiss your arse goodbye. A standing joke, sort of , only said out of hearshot of the Boss.

Bob, a mate of mine did the bio course in the RAAF. During the discharge transition he started training at a water treatment plant. The PPE required for fluoride and other chemicals was way over and above anything he'd seen in the military. He declined to proceed.

Crikey, that is a worry. But but but, Fluoride is supposed to be good for us. They said.


Maybe my reference to a busted Franger & strange folk was incorrect & it was all down to Fluoride & not his parents after all?

Some premiers are calling for drastic cuts to international arrivals, so how many people are travelling to Australia, and why? | Australia news | The Guardian

Great! I have said it here previously. Quarantine should mean just that & should not be a Visiting Day. But those in charge of things would have realised this stuff. Wouldn't they?


Forget the 20,000 Aussies supposedly trapped overseas, there may not be a country to return to if they keep this **** up.

What is the betting they haven't been looking around AP's residential area? "Sorry Boss, there are no suitable pubs available but we are going to look down at the Docks areas."

I'm talking about biological warfare. The courses taught were mainly focused on giving team leaders the information necessary to take charge of decontamination teams, setting up decontamination facilities, recognising the effects of BW agents , the use of protective clothing , and so on, and so forth. Mainly getting military units back in the fight after a BW attack. [ wishful thinking] The USA and the Soviet Union had perfected BW warfare to a point where they could inflict mass casualties potentially equaling the lethality of thermonuclear weapons. Anyway, a bit of history on BW warfare. It will probably come as no surprise to learn the earliest recorded use of BW agents was in North America against Native Americans, by the British.

from the news just now
The government hopes to have offered vaccinations to all Australians who want one by the end of the year,


“The good news I have for Australians who are subject to restrictions today is we have agreed a new deal for Australians on the pathway out of Covid-19,” Mr Morrison said.

“A pathway from a pre-vaccination period which is focused on the suppression of the virus, on community transmission cases, to one that sees us manage Covid-19 as an infectious disease like any other in our community.”


Mr Morrison said state and territory leaders had agreed to a four-phase plan tied to vaccination thresholds for over-16s:


- Reaching a certain vaccination threshold after offering all Australians the chance to get the vaccine
- Post-vaccination phase where focus shifts from suppressing the virus to minimising serious illness and death
- Consolidation phase where health authorities manage Covid-19 similar to other infectious diseases like the flu
- Complete return to normal with no lockdowns or border closures, and quarantine only for unvaccinated travellers

“The first phase is the one we are in – vaccinate, prepare and pilot,” he said.


Meanwhile, the federal government has agreed to state leaders’ demands for a 50 per cent reduction in international arrivals “to reduce the pressure on quarantine facilities, due to the increased risks of the Delta strain of the virus”.
