Thoughts from a Bulldozer Driver

 I want to talk about the Covid “Vaccinations”. Or, as I prefer to call it, “Jabs”. Because the elixir being injected into people is not a vaccine- it offers no immunity, no impediment to transmission, and the narrative around it reducing severe illness is also crumbling. When it comes to the Covid Jabs, the world seems to see people in one of two categories: Jabbed or Unjabbed. However, personally, I see three distinct categories.  1- the Willing and Grateful. (Or WaGs) 2- The Reluctant and Coerced. (RaCs) 3- The Courageous and Defiant. (CaDs) 1- The Willing and Grateful. (WaGs). This group of people bought into the narrative very early in the Covid pandemic, and truly believed (I guess we all initially did) that a vaccine was the only way to reverse the freedoms and liberties that had been egregiously stripped from us in the way of lockdowns, impulsive draconian laws, brutal police enforcement, unfair travel restrictions, Orwellian speech and thought restrictions, wholesale ...

  On the October long weekend this year (2022) I attended the Australian CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) event in Sydney. The ticket to the event was given to me as a gift from my loving and outstanding adult children. Previously, I had toyed with the idea of attending CPAC, but decided against due to budgetary constraints. I have attended a few conference-style meetings over the years for the purposes of business, sales, personal development and workplace training. But other than a couple of small local meetings, this was to be my first political event, especially of this size and nature. Being someone who isn’t that “outgoing”, I was quite anxious about attending such an event on my own. But my misgivings were quashed as soon as I arrived at the venue in Darling Harbour. Everyone, and I mean everyone that I met, spoke to, interacted with was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere was one of positive energy and genuine interest in the thoughts of others. I met engine...

 I’m convinced that the National and Liberal parties are being controlled by morons. It seems to me that the Lib and Nats of late have been spending way too much energy listening to / taking advice from Multi-nationals businesses, local focus groups, Twitter and our biased Australian legacy media pack. The people that they are clearly not listening to is their grassroots base, their members, those interested but non-vocal individuals that Morrison referred to as the “quiet Australians”, and Menzies called the “forgotten Australians”  The Libs almost lost an election under Malcolm Turnbull, and then they did under Scott Morrison. These two inept Prime Ministers were more interested in personal promotion and ambition than actually serving the people of Australia. They both suffered from a lack of conviction and neither had a clear vision for our country that they could successfully articulate to the Australian people.. They took from the office far more than they ever gave. Turn...

  On New Year's Eve 2019, My wife and I were getting ready to attend a party at a nearby town. Just as we were packing the esky, my phone rang. It was my employer who I was expecting to catch up with that night and find out what he and his family have been up to over the last couple of weeks since we commenced Christmas holidays. He told me that our presence was requested to assist with what would become the infamous 2020 Bushfires. My Boss, Duncan, operates a family-owned earthmoving business. I had worked for him for something like nine years operating scrapers, skid steers, wheel loaders, truck & dog tippers and crushing plants. But most of my time was operating bull dozers.  The Dunn's Road fire was out of control, and the RFS and State Forests wanted our dozer to make and clear roads, build fire breaks, clear tree-lines , remove obstacles, etc. So, I packed a bag with a few day's change of clothes, a lunch box, and set off to Rosewood in the foothills of the Sno...
