If either of the major political parties win the election this May Australia will continue to move further Marxist left!
Australian Federal Government

If something different doesn’t occur at the May Federal election this nation, Australia, is in serious trouble. The two major parties, LNP and Labor, are out of touch with reality. What Australia needs is a party that stands for all Australians. That party, in my opinion, is the United Australia Party. Here is a link to Part One of UAP’s Craig Kelly being interviewed by Professor David Flint. https://www.unitedaustraliaparty.org.au/video/part-1-craig-kelly-mp-interview-australia-calling/#fvp_102,2m45s
In Nazi ‘Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan has announced a new Covid health order that will ban unvaccinated parents from seeing their sick children in hospital. The rule comes into place on January 31.
There is the possibility of obtaining an ‘exemption’, but the chances are tiny leaving most unvaccinated parents without access to their own children. Such exemptions would be assessed on a case-by-case basis, according to a government spokesperson.
McGowan has hinted that these excessive restrictions on unvaccinated people could remain in place for many years. This comes shortly after the premier indefinitely delayed the re-opening of the Western Australia border (except to international students).
The new measure forms part of McGowan’s self-declared ‘broadest vaccine passport measures’ that locks unvaccinated citizens out of almost every part of life – including the public spaces which their taxes pay for.
McGowan proudly announced that he would make life ‘very hard’ for the unvaccinated.
“They [the unvaccinated] won’t be able to go to the football, they won’t be able to work in a whole range of industries. They won’t be able to go to concerts, restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs, fitness centres, gyms – all those things will be restricted. Life is about to get very difficult for you… it’s a big encouragement to go and get yourself vaccinated,” said the premier.
Most reasonable people would call that a threat, not encouragement.
Hospitals are deemed a ‘high risk’ location covered under the premier’s general health order that forbids unvaccinated people entry to a wide range of locations.
“Entry into a hospital or RACF by unvaccinated individuals (in those jurisdictions) is prohibited unless an exemption is in place or permitted under compassionate grounds, such as visiting a family member during the terminal phase of their life. In situations where visitation is permitted by unvaccinated individuals, additional risk mitigation precautions are required to be met by the individual,” said Dr Andy Robertson.
Given the data coming out of New South Wales and Victoria – not to mention the rest of the world including 100% vaccinated Israel – it can be stated categorically that being fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid does not stop the spread of Omicron while banning unvaccinated people from these locations does not prevent Covid from entering them.’https://www.rebelnews.com/unvaccinated_parents_banned_from_seeing_their_own_sick_kids?utm_campaign=rb_01_28_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
‘Will our courts defend the people against medical tyranny?
That’s the hope of retired judge Stuart Lindsay who joins us for episode 10 of the Conservative One: Pandemic Unmasked podcast.
Stuart Lindsay is a retired Federal Circuit Court judge who presided in more than two thousand Family Law Act cases and in many cases in other parts of the Commonwealth jurisdiction.
He was admitted to the bar in 1981 and worked as a solicitor & barrister until being appointed to the Federal Circuit Court in 2004. He retired in 2014 to continue working as a barrister.’ The podcast may be hear @ https://www.georgechristensen.com.au/podcast/lindsay
‘Australia has a renowned and glorious history in immunological science. In fact, I would go as far as to say that if there is an immunological “city on the hill,” it was Australia.
From the storied Walter and Eliza Hall Institute to the Garvan Institute, to prominent Australian Nobel laureates and founding fathers of immunological science (Sir Macfarlane Burnett, Jacques F.P. Miller and Peter Doherty) to contemporary leaders of immunological science (Jonathan Sprent, Christopher Goodnow and Jason Cyster), Australia has been known as the mecca of immunological thinking and science.
So it is simply shocking to see the nation’s government behaving in such an immunologically ill-informed and authoritarian fashion when it comes to its handling of COVID immunity.
The recent deportation of the world’s top-ranked men’s tennis player, Novak Djokovic, from Australia for refusing a mandated vaccine he did not need and could be harmed by, was shocking to me as an immunologist.
Why? Because I know with definitive certainty Djokovic, who recovered from a COVID infection in December 2021, has quite powerful and robust acquired natural immunity to COVID — equivalent, if not more powerful than that attained from full vaccination and boosters.
In other words, the recently COVID-recovered Djokovic posed almost zero risk to himself or anyone in Australia — yet that liberal western democratic government condescended itself into terrible authoritarianism, irrationally and unethically excluding an international champion from one of tennis’ most prestigious events — the Australian Open. How deplorable!
Any immunologist worth his or her salt knows the most unusual aspect of the global COVID vaccine campaign is that the vaccine is being deployed on a mass scale in the midst of a pandemic outbreak, when many are already infected — either recently or at the time of their vaccination.
This indiscriminate public health campaign is dangerous. Not only does it expose many millions of already immune people to the risk of unnecessary medical treatment, but it also poses a serious risk of harm to recently infected or convalescent persons, in whom viral antigenic epitopes still persist, and in whom an unnecessary vaccination could induce a hyper-inflammatory response.
That prominent immunologists — especially the contemporary Australian pioneers in immunology — are either unaware of or silent about how our scientific discipline of immunology is being corrupted and abused by governments around the world so they can impose draconian mass mandates upon millions of persons with acquired “natural” or “hybrid” immunity has been frankly disappointing and shocking to me.
But I suppose all heroes have clay feet — and even careful thinkers can think carelessly sometimes.
Still, it is shocking to hear crickets from the giants of the world of immunology — especially those from Australia, which truly is the birthplace of modern immunology — when it comes to the topic of mandated vaccination of the already well immune and recently infected.
What a terrible sign of our time — when neither science and reason nor ethics and the western defense of individuality matter any longer in the face of irrational fear and government edicts.
Djokovic’s irrational and unethical deportation from Australia is a stain on the reputation of the many prominent Aussie immunologists and storied immunological institutes in that country.
The government override of the principles of immunological science and medical ethics, in order to achieve population-level compliance, while the western heroes of immunological science stay silent spells disaster for the integrity of western civilizations and self-governing democracies.
Shame on the Australian government for irrationally deporting Djokovic. And woe onto those prominent expert Australians and Aussie institutions, who actually know better but have chosen not to speak up for the sake of political expediency or personal comfort.
It is, indeed, easier not to rock the boat and not to speak up, than it is to stand in the way of unethical authoritarian conduct by a powerful democratic government gone astray.
But that slope is a slippery one and we are all sliding down it. All it takes for a great evil to take hold is for a few good men to remain silent and not speak their truth.’https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/australian-open-novak-djokovic-immune-covid/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=1674b2e3-2312-478b-af9f-9f656b7c3407
New South Wales along with the other states in Australia are allowing the China virus to control every facet of life. Now, with the schools going back for a new year the hysteria is occurring all over again!
‘Being together in a classroom is the most effective way for students to learn and grow.
Since COVID-19 remains a relatively mild illness for most children, the NSW Government is committed to return to school safely in 2022 and will support this through the following measures:
Watch for symptoms
If your child is unwell – even with mild symptoms – you must keep them home and get them tested.
If children have any symptoms, they should take a PCR (nose and throat swab) test or rapid antigen test (RAT).
If symptoms continue your child should stay home and take another RAT or PCR test in 24 hours.
If that test is also negative, your child may return to school if another diagnosis is confirmed such as hay fever.
- Read more about when to get tested for COVID-19 and the changes to testing.
- Understand more about RATs and at-home testing.
Vaccinations
All staff on school sites must be fully vaccinated.
The NSW Government strongly encourage all students and their families to get vaccinated.
Children aged 5 to 11 can now get vaccinated. Parents are encouraged to book their child in for a vaccination at the first available opportunity.
Once eligible, all adults are encouraged to get booster shots.
- Book a vaccination or booster using the Australian Government’s Vaccine Clinic Finderlaunch.
- Read more about vaccination for children aged 5 to 11.
- Understand the vaccination rules for workers.
Testing
Before the start of term 1
All staff and students are asked to take a rapid antigen test and get a negative result before attending school.
Rapid antigen tests will be provided to all staff and students through their schools. Schools will inform parents on how these kits can be collected.
At the commencement of term 1
For the first 4 weeks, students and staff should take a rapid antigen test twice a week before attending school. Test kits will continue to be supplied by schools.
Students who are household close contacts must isolate at home for 7 days.
COVID-19 positive cases
If your child has no symptoms and there is a positive case in their class, year or other grouping, they can continue to attend school in line with NSW Health advice.
Staff and students who get a positive rapid antigen test must register it through Service NSW as soon as possible.
Staff and students who receive a positive rapid antigen test must tell their school as soon as possible and follow NSW Health advice.
Schools will regularly communicate to parents about the presence and impact of COVID-19 in their community.
Parents should expect to be provided with any impacted year groups or cohorts.
- Read more about self-isolation rules and NSW Health advice on when to isolatelaunch.
- Discover how to manage COVID-19 and access support.
Ventilation
Fresh air is the most effective form of ventilation to minimise the risk of transmission.
All learning spaces in public schools have been checked to ensure appropriate levels of ventilation and air purifiers have been provided where needed.
Using outdoor spaces will continue to be encouraged.
- Read the COVID-19 guidance on ventilation.
Masks
All primary and secondary school staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
No vented masks or cloth masks should be worn. If required, surgical masks will be available at schools.
Secondary school students are required to wear masks.
Primary school students are strongly recommended to wear well-fitted masks indoors.
- Read the face mask rules in NSW.
Activities
COVID-19 will be considered in all risk assessments. Guidance will be provided to schools on applying appropriate safeguards across a range of activities.
Parents will be made aware of the risk of exposure and will need to give their permission for participation in extra-curricular, out of school hours or off-site activities.
Student cohorting
Schools will continue to use cohort arrangements and consider staggered drop-off and pick ups, break times, playground and canteen access.
Depending on the school, cohort size and timetables, cohorts may be based on classes, years or stages.
Visitors
Visitors on school sites should be kept to a minimum to support essential school activities or student needs.
Visitors will be required to wear a mask indoors and will be encouraged to wear a mask outdoors if they cannot maintain physical distancing.
Schools are advised to allow a maximum of 2 parents or carers per student on to school grounds for kindergarten orientation or year 7 transition.
Keeping schools open
Parents are asked to respect the rules at their child’s school to help keep the community safe.
Schools will do everything they can to maintain continuity of face-to-face learning including the use of more casual staff.
Schools will need to make localised staffing decisions to ensure appropriate supervision can be maintained.
Schools will not be able to guarantee particular staff for any cohort and students may not have their regular teacher for a class.
Learning from home
The NSW Government will continue to monitor the situation and where face-to-face learning is not possible, learning from home options will be supported for short periods.
School or childcare centre closure
Some schools may need to close occasionally to deal with COVID-19 outbreaks, deep cleaning or other emergencies like floods or fires.
The NSW School Updates app sends parents and carers notifications about school closures.’https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/stay-safe/advice-for-parents-students?utm_source=servicensw_consumer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2022-01-21_sfmc_647_con_covid_newsletter&utm_content=01_covid-smart_measures&utm_term=see_all_covid-smart_measures_button#toc-term-1-2022-covid-smart-measures-for-schools
Will the children be better off for all this?
‘With the deportation of World No.1 tennis ace Novak Djokovic last week, eleven-time world champion Kelly Slater has been banned from competing in Australia under a ‘rules are rules’ direction.
“I reckon he knows the rules,” said Australia’s Minister for Sport Richard Colbeck. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re a surfer, or a tennis player, a tourist or anyone else, those are the rules. They apply to everyone. I don’t like the chances of him competing in Victoria, and I’d hate to think of what the chances were of him competing in Western Australia.”
The American surfer has not declared his vaccination status, but like Djokovic, he has been prominent online in his criticism of vaccine mandates.
It means that he almost certainly will not be competing in the Rip Curl Pro and Margaret River Pro in April 2022.
“If I know the risks and I judge the choice to be one that benefits/hurts me based on stats and info and my own ability, I can choose accordingly. For people saying ‘listen to the doctors’, I’m positive I know more about being healthy than 99 per cent of doctors, but I wouldn’t trust me. But most of my Covid info comes directly from doctor friends, many of them in disagreement with the official ‘science’.”
The Australian government has a blanket rule on international arrivals, insisting that they all present proof of Covid vaccination.
This regulation has been put in place in the interest of ‘public safety’ despite Omicron entering Australia via fully-vaccinated travellers. The current outbreak inside most states is being spread among everyone, regardless of vaccination status, as reflected by infection rates in state health data.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said last year that vaccination was a voluntary – not compulsory – choice.
Gabriel Medina, the current champion from Brazil, has also refused to declare his vaccination status and may be prevented from competing.’https://www.rebelnews.com/surfing_legend_kelly_slater_banned_from_australia?utm_campaign=rb_01_20_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
‘Across the world there’s been dismay at how Australians have seemingly welcomed the rise of authoritarianism to deal with the pandemic. Is there something in our cultural makeup or national history that’s enabled all of this? And are there parallels to other moments in our history?
To answer that question we turn to Dr Stephen Chavura — an historian and political studies lecturer — who has been shocked but not entirely surprised as to where we now find ourselves.
Dr Chavura teaches European and Australian history at Campion College. He has taught the philosophy of social science and political theory and several Australian universities. He has published in numerous journals including History of European Ideas, Journal of Religious History, and Australian Journal of Political Science. His most recent (co-authored) books are The Forgotten Menzies: The World Picture of Australia’s Longest Serving Prime Minister (MUP, 2021) and Reason, Religion, and the Australian Polity: A Secular State? (Routledge, 2019).
He is a contributor to The Australian and has also written for Spectator Australia and ABC Religion and Ethics.’https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/this-is-a-crazy-moment-in-our-history-with-dr-stephen-chavura/id1508102034?i=1000548586981

‘Are mRNA “vaccines” a danger? Should children be subjected to these “vaccines”? And what on Earth is driving all the illogical policies and reactions to the pandemic?
To help answer more of these questions, Conservative One: Pandemic Unmasked goes to the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology himself, Dr Robert Malone. This is part two of our interview.
Now known the world over due to his interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, Dr Malone received his medical degree from the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and then completed the Harvard Medical School fellowship as a global clinical research scholar in 2016. He was scientifically trained at the University of California at Davis, the University of California at San Diego, and at the Salk Institute Molecular Biology and Virology laboratories. He served as an assistant and associate professor of pathology and surgery at the University of California at Davis, the University of Maryland, and the Armed Forces University of the Health Sciences. For many years, Dr Malone and his wife have run a consultancy and analytics firm specialising in biotechnology and clinical trials development.
Since he raised concerns about mRNA vaccines being used in response to COVID-19, there have been attempts to airbrush his role in the development of mRNA vaccine technology out of existence. However, the fact remains that Dr Malone was the original inventor of mRNA vaccination as a technology, DNA vaccination, and multiple non-viral DNA and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies.
He has approximately 100 scientific publications under his belt with over 12,000 citations of his work, and he’s sat on or served as chairperson of US Health & Human Services and US Department of Defence committees.’https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/do-not-vax-your-children-with-dr-robert-malone/id1508102034?i=1000548119452
