Neither Chairman Dan or Anna (QLD Premier) are very popular at the moment, despite the polls saying otherwise. It is easy to see why too.

With the amount of bias & fake news, to the point it is like it used to be when you listened to Radio Moscow & VOM. Quite often is was the baddies you were told not to believe, who were closer to the truth. You do have to wonder if the polls actually happened it was fake news trying to con you into voting the way of the poll?

As as has happened several times, in recent times, the only poll that was right, was the real one and it went the opposite way to predictions, often in a big way.

Don't even know what a QR code is ?? Nowhere have I been asked to scan my phone and in any case suspect my old Android would not even support QR codes.

At the few cafes I go to they write down your name and phone number in a book.

As for shopping once the stupid panic was over there has not been any shortage of common place goods that I could see. Only a few people are wearing face masks.

I am talking about Bathurst and surrounding areas.

NSW Government considers mandating Service NSW app for QR code contact tracing

QUOTE: The NSW Government is considering making the Service NSW smartphone application mandatory for businesses that need to collect visitor data to allow for COVID-19 contact tracing.

At the moment, many cafes and restaurants are using QR codes to record customer information. These are little black and white squares, reminiscent of barcodes, that can be scanned with a smartphone camera. Scanning the code takes the user to a website where contact details are recorded, information that the business stores and shares with health authorities in case of an outbreak.

...

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said on Thursday her government was looking into whether the government app should be made compulsory - a move that would require businesses to scrap their existing systems and force customers to download the app to be able to check into a coffee shop or pub.

...

Within the QR code industry, there are concerns the Service NSW app wouldn’t be able to handle the demand. There are also concerns the requirement to use it would be onerous to businesses and customers.

Some time ago in respect of Chairman Dan's Hotel's fiasco; I told the local ABC that there was a risk of the whole mob involved falling foul of the new culpable negligence provisions of the Workcare legislation.

Well well! Tonight's news Victorian Workcare is conducting an investigation along those lines: Fascinating!

Also on pouring petrol to start a fire: I have put the question as to what (or yet another) bureaucratic imbecile, sent out "Lick & Stick" (that's what they will do) envelopes for the current municipal elections?

It may be the case that these bureaucracies are too brain-dead to get some wet sponges like they have at post offices and use those to seal envelopes. When I was a young lad those glass bowls with the sponges fascinated me.

The buffoonery of the year award surely has to be awarded to both the Premier of QLD, Annastacia Palaszczuk, and the Opposition Leader, Deb Frecklington. The former has basically shut down QLD to its largest tourism market - NSW - whilst placing further onorous rules in place before the border can be opened. The Premier has basically given care blanch to the QLD Chief Health Officer to run roughshod over reason and today it was reported that the Opposition Leader will continue this rank stupidity if her party wins the state election on the 31st October.

The border should be open to everyone who isn't living or working in a current hotspot yet these idiots are playing God with QLD's largest industry - tourism. The voters of electorates that rely on tourism, and that is pretty much any electorate on QLD's coastline are not going to thank the leaders of either of the major parties if they continue to keep a noose around the necks of business owners.

The Labor Party currently has a stiletto at the throat of QLD tourism and the Liberal-National Party has promised to maintain the status quo should they win on the 31st. Great bloody choice, I say. If there was a Nobel Prize for stupidity, these two polticians and the QLD CHO would be a three way dead heat for it.

NSW, QLD and VIC all have Premiers who are products of their party machines. None have much, if any, experience outside of politics. Of the 3, only Berejiklian seems to have a clue.

... as a cleaner, while removing all chairs from the local Foodcourt, said to me today: "Here we go again."

Also in the spirit of the "here we go again" theme, once more we see that the word lockdown triggers a primordial response in those who are genetically programmed for moronism to proceed zombie-like to the nearest supermarket and strip bare the shelves of toilet paper.

I spent four years as a cleaner between jobs & ended up as the one in the family that ended up being Mums full time carer.

I also spent most of my time in Laboratories and Chemical manufacture where cross contamination could be quite interesting, spectacular and downright dangerous as my respiratory system can attest. Also being involved in Agriculture what I see are people who are in places in which they have had no practical experience, nor in many cases qualifications.

This is quite clear from the foolishness of Hotel & similar quarantine. On the Farm one puts sick animal in a place where it has no access to other animals. Not in a place where the air conditioning is all wrong and there is no real airspace.

We note that the rural areas of Vic have had virtually no virus anywhere any time & current, but are being constantly punished for it. The only place we see it is in the congested Socialist Republic of Melbourne, where they prove time and again they have learnt nothing from Bubonic Plague or any other.

All we are getting is trolling &censoring of anyone that goes against the misinformation & coverups; including the person the person that invented the basics way of the vaccine is made.

Clearly the agenda lunatics are running the asylum & we are getting jack of it.

I purchased one 12-pack of dunny rolls yesterday, leaving the rest to hopefully normal people. Unfortunately there will be more incidents like we saw last time where some idiot bought 5,000 rolls and then toward the end of the original national lockdown he demanded that the supermarkets buy them all back. They rightly told him to sod off.

One of the very few things right on selling sites was to ban the sale of it, thereby cutting off the profiteers & leaving them stuck with it.

I did suggest to my favourite check out chook (oldie), that perhaps they would attract more sales if the bigger packs as "Pandemic Packs".

Years supply of dunny paper for those ar...... getting a bum steer: Obviously too much Fluoride in the city water supplies.

Radio station mentioned herd immunity this morning.

Simple fix: A couple of cattle races & drench the lot with Cydectin or Bromectin. Won't kill people but will get rid of their worms, lice & probably kill the bed bugs.
