‘The Daily Telegraph has published an article today reporting that the New South Wales government is considering forcing unvaccinated patients to pay for their hospital treatment and medical expenses.
This is despite all citizens paying a Medicare Levy which entitles them to free healthcare. Medicare is a 2% tax on taxable income. It is advertised as ‘Australia’s universal health care system’.
All citizens, via their taxes, pay for Covid vaccinations, QR-check-in programs, and Rapid Antigen tests – regardless of whether or not an individual uses them.
The Federal Government has already spent hundreds of billions of public money on Covid, while the New South Wales Government is nearly 20 billion in debt, much of it from money spent on the Covid response. The remaining healthcare treatment is a fraction of the total cost, with most government spending given to economic stimulus packages.
The New South Wales government, under the direction of State Premier Dominic Perrottet, is reportedly considering the radical change of policy. It would mean that any unvaccinated person who ended up in hospital with Covid would have to pay out of pocket for their treatment.
The Medical Journal of Australia lists the average cost of intensive care in Australia (for all conditions) as $4,375 – well beyond the reach of most Australians, especially after two years of lockdowns.
‘In 1611 Good King James was sure one verse in the Bible did not apply to him. Oh he loved Romans 13:1-3 about the God given authority of rulers, but his life showed his feeling that verse 4 held little application to him when it said “For he (King, Authority and Government etc) is the minster of God to thee for good.” The King was sure that he too was Authorised to be God’s divine appointee, so he could rule accordingly and the old battle over the divine right of kings was never far from the surface in his realm. Similar attitudes still plague us even though government by democracies have largely replaced the Monarchy.
So don’t make the mistake of reading Foxes Book of Martyrs (1563), or the lives of William Tyndale (killed 1536), Bonhoffer (killed 1945) or Richard Wurmbrandt (imprisoned by communists 14 yrs), then holding those persecuted saints as heroes of the faith, unless you also admit they were in trouble and many put to death for disobeying the ungodly government and all church institutions that supported the government.
What the governments of the day had demanded that those martyrs do was ‘not good’, and as such the persecuted had every authority to disobey such demands, given by the highest authority – the Creator Lord God! I say this because Romans 13 is bandied about by way too many people as giving government ‘all’ authority – something the Lord Jesus never gives to any human institution, secular or church!
Just as Thomas Jefferson said in 1786 ‘… the Freedom of the Press cannot be limited without being lost.’
Then as Australian Judge Sir John Grieg Latham (1877- 1964) stated so bluntly: “A pretended law made in excess of power is not and never has been a law at all. Anybody is entitled to disobey it.”
Now I must update this to read; ‘If human authority is NOT limited, then mankind’s freedom is already lost and history shows it is rarely regained without bloodshed and death.’
The good news from Romans chapter 13 is that the government – any government – King, presidency, democracy or whatever, is only authorised to do good. That ‘good’ is defined by God alone through His Word alone and not by Clergy of Government. When any authority ceases to do good it can be opposed. When it does evil, it must be opposed no matter what the price.
For the same reason the apostle Paul writes in Romans 15:4 that “all these things were written for our learning”, so if you want to understand how to react to any ungodly government that is exceeding its authority, then read the records from Genesis to Malachi and ask why so many of the saints were in trouble – a large majority were punished for disobeying the governments of the day. Whether it was Daniel in the lion’s den or even Moses, their doing what was good in the Lord God’s eyes is your example for refusing to do what may be currently mandated as compulsory in man’s view but is repulsive to God in all matters of faith and conduct.
‘It’s time to end an injustice. For that reason, I want to share with you a mother’s heartfelt plea for her jailed son, Julian Assange. In return, I ask you to share this email and her message widely.
But first, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, yesterday declared that Julian Assange should not be extradited or tried in any foreign court, saying:
In a liberal democracy, care must be taken to avoid laws that stumble around how basic rights may come and go…
Julian Assange is a current case in point. As an individual, whether you like him or despise him, it is beyond him, given his circumstances, to protect his rights by himself…
It is a case of how our citizen is protected and judged. Imagine a sliding door moment, and it was not Assange but you who was in court in Britain…
You must also set aside the grave issues that surround the actions of Assange. They are a separate matter to the key issue: where was this individual when he was allegedly breaking US law for which the US is now seeking his extradition from London?
Assange did not steal any US secret files, US citizen Chelsea Manning did. Assange did publish them. In Australia, he received a Walkley Award in journalism for it. Assange was not in breach of any Australian laws at the time of his actions. Assange was not in the US when the event being deliberated in a court now in London occurred. The question is then: why is he to be extradited to the US? If he insulted the Koran, would he be extradited to Saudi Arabia?
This final point is worth considering. If an Australian writer did insult the Koran, Mohammed or Islam, would we seriously countenance their extradition to an Islamist regime to answer for the crime of blasphemy? If not, then why is Assange subject to the laws of a foreign country of which he is not a citizen?
“A statement by Christine Assange, mother of Julian:
FIFTY years ago in giving birth for the first time as a young mother, I thought there could be no greater pain. But it was soon forgotten when I held my beautiful baby boy in my arms. I named him Julian.
I realise now that I was wrong. There is a greater pain.
The unending gut-wrenching pain of being the mother of a multi-award winning journalist who had the courage to publish the truth about high level government crimes and corruption.
The pain of watching my son who sought to publish important truths, being endlessly globally smeared.
The pain of watching my son who risked his life to expose injustice, being fitted up and denied a fair legal process, over and over again.
The pain of seeing my healthy child slowly wasting away from being denied proper health and medical care for years in detention.
The anguish of seeing my boy cruelly psychologically tortured to try and break his huge spirit.
The constant nightmare of him being extradited to the US and being buried alive in extreme solitary confinement for the rest of his life.
The constant fear the CIA will carry out its plans to assassinate him.
The rush of sadness as I saw his frail exhausted body slumping from a mini-stroke in the last hearing due to chronic stress.
Many people are also traumatised by seeing a vengeful superpower using its unlimited resources to bully and destroy a single defenceless individual.
I wish to thank all the caring decent citizens globally protesting Julian’s brutal political persecution .
Please keep raising your voices to your politicians till it’s all they can hear.
‘New South Police have swooped to shut down the Freedom Ball due to take place tomorrow evening.
Police attended the Le Montage and successfully pressured the venue into cancelling the eagerly anticipated, pre-paid event. A high-ranking superintendent was seen leaving the premises after apparently organising the cancellation. The superintendent did not answer any questions before driving away.
On Wednesday the 15, Covid health restrictions come to end – which begs the question, why are police interested in shutting down the Freedom Ball?
The event is organised as a celebration to mark the end of medical segregation and discrimination.
Despite the venue being off-limits, the Freedom Ball will go ahead outside – beyond the reach of police intimidation – as a Christmas Summer soiree.
“They have forced a private venue where we were having a lawfully organised event – it’s been cancelled because the New South Wales Police have put pressure on the owners for the sole reason that we are ‘somehow’ protesting against the government,” said United Australia Party leader, Craig Kelly.
“They see this as an anti-government rally. This is how you expect the police to operate in communist China – or communist countries – but this is what is happening in New South Wales today.”
There were half a dozen officers sent to the Le Montage on Tuesday, supposedly in response to content posted online by pro-vaccine mandate activists.
Police say they were worried about the safety of the event. Instead of protecting the event from hateful content, police decided to pressure the organisers to shut it down – kowtowing to the threats of online bullies and activists.
“We’ve been getting phone calls, we get stuff on social media – so the police are just worried about safety,” said John Navarra, Director of Le Montage. “You’re doing a great job, my friend, and I believe in what you do but unfortunately we’ve got people that have put fear into my staff. I’ve just had another person ring me up and cancel.”
The venue will provide beverages to the Freedom gathering on the foreshore.
“It’s good people like you that should be defended,” added John Navarra.
Given that the Federal Liberal Party is pushing to crack down on online hate speech and trolls, it seems odd that the New South Wales Liberal Party would allow online threats to close an event dedicated to the Australian spirit of Freedom.
‘A court handed down sentences ranging from four to 14 months in prison to eight people involved with the annual Tiananmen Square vigil in Hong Kong. The government has canceled the event for the past two years citing pandemic concerns. Organizers were sentenced for encouraging people to light candles and sing in Victoria Park. Most of the activists accused of inciting disobedience against the police pleaded guilty or fled the city.
Who was convicted? One of those sentenced was Jimmy Lai, activist and founder of the now-defunct pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily. He received 13 months in prison. Lai submitted a mitigation letter stating he did not attend the illegal vigil but instead lit a candle in front of reporters to commemorate when the Chinese military massacred peaceful protesters in Beijing on June 4, 1989. The judge declared it was still “an act of defiance and protest against the police.” Lai, 74, is serving a separate 14-month sentence for convictions related to 2019 rallies. He also awaits trial for charges under the national security law, some of which carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.’https://wng.org/sift/hong-kong-court-sentences-pro-democracy-activists-1639431414
‘Many of us have become aware over the course of the pandemic (if we didn’t know it beforehand), that the mainstream media peddles extreme bias and lies, and tries to palm off their fakery as fact. They take us all for chumps, but Australians are far too smart than to fall for that rubbish.
This week, I was once again smeared and verballed by the fake news media who insinuated I had equated Australian COVID-19 quarantine camps with Auschwitz when I was interviewed by Alex Jones on InfoWars.
Let me be clear: At no point did I equate quarantine camps with Auschwitz or, for that matter, anything to do with Nazi Germany. Nor did I “laugh” at Jones’ suggestion that the fencing around the quarantine camp “looks like something out of Auschwitz or something”. I groaned in dismay at the images of the ridiculous security fences running along these quarantine camps (below) which I was viewing at the time.
Media also claimed I had encouraged protests against Australia at overseas embassies which, again, was false. One Labor politician even claimed I had committed treason. In reality I was asked by Jones what I thought of Americans who had been protesting for the rights of Australians in front of Australian embassies.
The other attack point was that I even went on Infowars and spoke to Alex Jones at all. To that charge, let me quote conservative activist Candace Owens (from a post to her Facebook page this week): “Everybody knows that you’re not allowed to talk to Alex Jones… which is exactly why I decided to speak with Alex Jones… I don’t follow rules established by authoritarian cowards.” Amen to that.
After all the fake news media and political hyperventilation about this matter over the course of the past week, I want to put forward a simple point: This is all about trying to turn people’s focus away from real problems and towards imaginary ones. Making me a villain is a good diversion from the horrible reality that vaccine mandates are causing Australians to lose their jobs, and that many Australian families are suffering as a result.
And there’s also the question of what’s worse: that a Member of Parliament sat for an interview with someone who provocatively overreached in comparing the fences of an Australian quarantine camp with that of Auschwitz, or the fact we actually have quarantine camps in our country where people who have simply had contact with someone with COVID-19, can be locked up for two weeks, against their will, with no legal recourse or appeal?
Now, I am not for this young lady lying to the authorities but neither do I agree with the treatment she received. Australian’s will no longer be a free society if something doesn’t change at next years election.
Australia MUST have a change in Government if the citizens are going to continue as free people! The following is an email from the United Australia Party.
‘Dear United Australia Party Members,
This is just a short note to update you all and prepare you for the difficult fight we have ahead of us.
As expected, the major parties are trying to create controversy and peddle misinformation about us – most recently about our preference arrangements.
To enable real change we have to change the government. The United Australia Party’s main goal is to see Craig Kelly elected as Prime Minister and have as many of our candidates elected to parliament as possible.
We have already announced that our first preference will go to the Liberal Democrats, and are currently negotiating our second preference, which will go to another minor party. However, we cannot finalise all our preferences until the candidates are known.
Craig Kelly, the national executive and I considered our preference exchanges very carefully. One thing we unanimously agreed upon is to put the Liberals, Labor and the Greens at the bottom of our ticket in all electorates. Any suggestion to the contrary is completely false. There is no difference between the Liberals and Labor.
While we admire the individual courage of MPs who have crossed the floor or supported Craig Kelly and his bills to throw out vaccine mandates, ban vaccine passports and protect our children, the Liberals, Labor, the Nationals and the Greens are oppressors of the people and must be removed from parliament at the next election.
As Craig Kelly says, the whole political class has turned against the people. We know we can never trust the Liberals, Labor the Greens or Nationals again.
The upcoming Federal Election will be unlike any other we have ever experienced. You must be ready for the misinformation and constant attacks on the party, our people and what we are trying to achieve. Now more than ever, this is a time to stay strong and stay united, because the real battle is yet to begin.
God bless you, your family and the Australian people. Our party has a strong resolve not to let you or them down.
In the Land Down Under ‘Vulnerable Queenslanders waiting for a life-saving organ transplant will be denied medical treatment unless they are fully vaccinated, regardless of genuine concerns about vaccine side effects.
All potential organ transplant patients must have a minimum of two doses before surgery – a process that takes more than a month to complete. They fear that this delay will leave them at increased risk of serious harm, even if they agree to abide by the restriction.
Patients are furious about the new regulation.
Dana Ward, a 23-year-old from the Gold Coast, had a pancreas and kidney transplant in 2009. Her body has rejected the kidney, placing her in urgent need of a transplant to save her life.
“I have been told that if I received a kidney and then got Covid it would be a waste of an organ. I even have a donor ready to go but it’s been made clear nothing will go ahead until I am fully vaccinated,” said Ms Ward, who is now considering taking the vaccine even though it goes expressly against her wishes.
Kidney, lung, and heart transplant patients have told the Courier Mailthat they remain unvaccinated because they fear side effects from the vaccine that could make them even more ill than they already are. This is particularly true of those on complex medication schedules or in an especially fragile condition.
Queensland Health has stood by its decision, insisting that it was backed by health authorities and indigenous representatives.
“A recipient is highly immunosuppressed post-transplant, which is why it’s incredibly important for the person to be vaccinated prior to transplant. Queensland Health prioritises safety before, during and after a transplant,” said a spokesman for Queensland Health.
The patients involved now have no choice; hospitals will deny life-saving care unless they get vaccinated.
