The free-spirited, independent Australians of old seem to have cowered under their beds. Thank goodness some are fighting back.

At least they have more backbone than the Canadians I’ve encountered.

CLipe, an excellent find. Especially I liked the last paragraph.
On average cov2 is no worse than the seasonal flu.
In case we think that Dr. Tamiflu is one of a kind:

Should all pregnancies be terminated because the mother or baby may die or be injured in childbirth?
If you ask Planned Parenthood, I suspect that they’d say “all the black ones, for sure”. Margret Sanger would be delighted at how her racist enterprise has developed.
Thanks for sharing the video of Mr. Jones. He is annoyed and wants the whole country to know. Good on him.
The Australian situation is good except for the state of Victoria, run by Andrews, an old student marxist, who is the State Premier.
Marxists essentially think you are immoral and your choices are immoral and they therefore have the divine right to manage your life for your own good. They exist in the medical world in numbers. A massive number of people are now dependent on the State, the left love it and want it to be permanent.
Comrade Andrews thought it would be nice to impose some leftard social engineering during this event, so he got half arsed incompetent ‘minority’ (read Aboriginal….the truth burns as usual ) run security companies to supervise the compulsory 2 week hotel quarantine for returning citizens. These people were recruited off the net, given no training and predictably the system broke down, the isolated were not quarantined and second wave spread went like a bushfire with a west wind….in Victoria.
Still, this coronavirus hysteria can’t go on, the vulnerable need to protect themselves with help and the rest need to get back to work. The death rate from Cv is not much more than peanut allergies and bee stings for anyone under 70 years old there despite 28,000 positive cases.
99.99982% of the population won’t die of Cv….enough said. This joke must end the alternative is national bankruptcy.
The only people more Bolshevik in the Anglosphere than the Aussies are the New Zealanders. Now 100% more disarmed than Canadians.
“Now 100% more disarmed than Canadians.”
Nonsense. A common US / Canadian misinformation.
If you want to elaborate on that claim, please do and I’ll demolish it.
Shouldn’t you be shagging sheep right now? I’m sure Jacinda Ardern would like a baby sister. Baa baa baa.
Talk bullshit and get called on it and get bitter and resentful….. 🙂
Why did you bring up US/Canada? The discussion was NZ/Canada. And your response was a straight ad-hominem without any factual basis. Why should you be answered when it doesn’t look like you’re paying attention?
Tanker is sprouting lies. He chooses not to make a factual detailed case when he was called out on that. He has no reply. ie. He lied.
US/Canada? I’m being inclusive to whomever reads here, the US NRA view is similar to Tankers, of what relevance is that?
“without any factual basis”? ….I’m not the one calling Aussies and New Zealanders “Now 100% more disarmed than Canadians”. Tanker needs to substantiate extraordinary claims with extraordinary facts…he doesn’t and neither do you.
Errrr what?……”when it doesn’t look like you’re paying attention”…to what….I asked him to substantiate his claims…he couldn’t…..what is there to pay attention to?
Please, I’m all ears.
If you want to present some facts where Aussies and Kiwis are disarmed….. go ahead.
You can’t, you’re making it up.
I understand your embarrassment.
If you had stuck to New Zealand you might have had a point. 5 seconds found an estimated 14 guns per 100 people in Australia (>85% legal), 24 guns per 100 people in New Zealand (>95% legal), and 35 guns per 100 people in Canada (<25% legal). # of legal come from the second source, overall numbers come from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country
As it's a wiki on something controversial, i didn't trust it. Diving deeper, it's a research company out of Geneva that compiles the information, back-checking shows that it was the primary source used by the wiki.

100% increase on 14 is 28. 100% increase on 24 is 48. Canada's value of 35 falls in the middle, so the original assertion is mostly true. My searches found no source that contradicts this. The key difference is in legally held – Canadian's have much simpler means to illegally (to our beloved government) obtain firearms. The biggest one is called the USA.
Your turn. What do you have to support the idea that the opinion that Tanker was spouting was "Nonsense. A common US / Canadian misinformation." You've asserted this without presenting any evidence.
Bill,
“ban on all semi-automatic rifles and all semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns”
I understand that this is the case in Australia. Also, I understand that firearms are registered in Australia. They tried this in Canada and the program ended up being scrapped.
I understand that Australia had a “buyback” program where thy destroyed 650,000 firearms.
Canadians firearms owners are under constant attack by those who would disarm us but at this time I would consider Australians considerably more disarmed than Canadians so “demolish” away and correct our perception.
I’m waiting to see if Bill actually has anything to back up the snark. Based on his doubling down (without providing any reference to why) I doubt it.
But I hope he does, because I like to learn.
There is no justification for the health “leaders” or “experts” are telling us to do, masks, lockdowns, social distancing etc. Like the gent said in the video who decided to trash our rights and where did they get the permission to do it?
They are destroying our lives and peoples’ dreams.
WHY??
Two letters, the UN.

“Now 100% more disarmed than Canadians.”
Australia has always had less firearms ownership per capita than Canada, you silly boy. This didn’t happen because the population was “disarmed”. Same with NZ recently. NZ ownership has much more robust numbers per capita than in Australia and always has had. That continues.
Those cunning AU / NZders took the govt “buyback” money for semi autos and bought more firearms.
Anti firearm newspaper the SMH reports that in 2017 there were 3,600,000 firearms owned privately in Australia. After the then PM “bought back” in 1997 there were an estimated 2,500,000 firearms, so in 20 years the number of firearms in Australia increased at an average of 55,000 per year in a population of 25 million….. yep, that’s disarming if you’re dyslexic.
The propaganda you get from various pro gun lobbies in North America is just that, to make a point falsely. I understand why they do it. It’s the semi auto centerfires and rimfires that are restricted in NZ and same in Australia plus semi auto shotties and pumps.
I used to own 3 firearms in 1996 now I own 10….. I suppose that means I’m disarmed.
Those Australian numbers are in accordance with what Tanker had said and what you were shitting on me for referencing. You didn’t bring in anything to indicate that the Canadian values were wrong.
Thanks for admitting that Tanker and I were right. Bye bye.
Bwaaa…. goal shifting semantics won’t help you… 100% / 78.% / 104%.
The assertion of note was that Australia and NZ have been disarmed.
Bullshit.
False. The assertion was that NZ and Aus were more disarmed than Canada. You have yet to provide anything to the contrary. You stated that Tanker was full of it, but have provided nothing to support that assertion. I’m not the one shifting the goalposts.
Supply a dissenting source of values that can withstand scrutiny, admit you’re making it up as you go along, or apologize. You’re looking like the worst type of snowflake, and your continual lack of linked sources makes you look even dumber.
Do you actually have any support, or were you hoping that we would ignore this late and light rejoinder?
To simplify, because my post could be taken several ways. Please provide a source of data that supports your assertions or we will assume that you’re making this (and, by presumption, future arguments) up out of whole cloth.
It’s OK to be wrong. I’m used to it. I readily admit it in my professional life when I’m not sure of something I’ve asserted. When proven to be wrong, I’ll own up to it. You’ve stated points for which there is currently no support. You’ve been asked to provide that support. One way or another, we will have a truth. Do you want us to believe you in the future or not?
Perhaps read 11:24 as often as needed.
Still can’t provide a source beyond your own ego. OK.
You asked for numbers, I provided them. I asked for your numbers and you mumble. Man up or piss off.
To be blunt: you’re a liar. Your said something you can’t, or won’t, back up. Name calling others won’t change this. Are you honest?
You’re a liar.
Australia has 44% more firearms in private ownership in 2017 than when the semi auto restrictions happened in 1997…. ie. No disarmed population at all.
NZ has exactly the same ownership as it did a year ago, minus a few thousand AR’s “buy backs”, replaced by bolts and levers.
If anyone wants to own a firearm Australia / NZ they can, your % claim is a trivia looking for a home.
The Nth American mythology that the NZ and Australia populace have been disarmed is risible bullshit and it’s quite a common meme from the NRA etc.
Do your own Googling, I’m not here to educate you.
You’re a poopyhead. There’s no comeback to that.
Poopyhead.
(still can’t back anything up, I’m done.)
