'Lone wolf' conspiracy theorists flouting mask law

BREAKING NEWS:

Conspiracy theorists who travel alone in their vehicles believe that an apparent global pandemic will kill them while they are travelling from point A to point B.

They even believe that their vehicle is infected after a non compliant test was made of the said vehicle.

They have even gone to the extreme, throwing away the law of the state, stating the state has no idea.

See the law that they have recklessly ignored:

In an about face, the Victorian premier Mr. Daniel Michael Andrews has given the first 'free' batch of masks to Victorian farmers, as seen below:

‘Dark room’ dealings: Secretive COVID council deciding Australia’s future

Morrison rules out pay cuts for MPs.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has rejected calls for federal politicians to have their pay docked because of cancelled sittings of parliament.

The government’s secretive COVID business taskforce has been described as something suiting “someone who’s a dictator”, with concerns over an “opaque” policy-making process for jobs and industry.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Monday that the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission, a hand-picked organisation of business leaders, would be renamed to the National COVID-19 Commission (NCC) Advisory Board.

In addition, it has undergone a “reformation as a Prime Minister’s advisory body”.

The technical change means that the commission will now “work within government” and give it a “new gear” as it works across the JobMaker scheme with the goal of boosting business growth.

“It won’t be an external agency. It will work within government and can form part of the cabinet deliberative processes,” Mr Morrison said.

The commission has been criticised for a lack of transparency in its deliberations, amid concerns the details of its work may be difficult to obtain under freedom of information laws.

Politicians and civil society groups also raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, such as chair Nev Power’s ties to the mining industry as the former boss of Fortescue Metals, and his recent promotion of natural gas as a key component of Australia’s post-COVID business recovery.

Mr Morrison’s decision to rebadge the COVID commission has only deepened the concerns of independent MP Zali Steggall.

“It is concerning that the government has decided to move to an advisory body structure within the department rather than an independent commission. This further entrenches the lack of accountability and transparency around the work and advice of the NCCC,” she told The New Daily.

“Without a clear accountability and transparency process, this is looking a lot like a hand-picked kitchen cabinet reporting to the Prime Minister alone on issues of national importance.”

Ms Steggall, the Member for Warringah, has previously been critical of the group’s processes.

She said she was pleased to see new commission members – such as former Bendigo Bank director Mike Hirst and former CEO of the Regional Australia Institute Su McCluskey – would bring experience in regional affairs, but was disappointed there were not more members with a clean energy background.

“Unfortunately, there still does not appear to be any gender equity or transparency in the appointment process,” Ms Steggall said.

“We know that this recession has hit women hardest. There needs to be a specific focus on issues impacting women’s employment, in particular, child care and parental leave. There is no individual specifically tasked with this role.”

Labor senator Katy Gallagher said the change would further shield the commission’s work from scrutiny.

“It seems to me that this announcement has been all about making this COVID commission more secretive than it already is,” she said on Monday.

“It’s about bringing it in under the cabinet process so that any request for information, reports or advice – actually what they are even doing, what is their job – is going to be clouded under these claims of cabinet in confidence.”

Senator Gallagher, chair of the Senate’s select committee on COVID-19, has been critical of the commission including its $5.2 million price tag, and the nearly $300,000 allowance paid to Mr Power to cover his expenses and private jet flights from Perth to Canberra.

“This has been a very opaque organisation from the get go. It has received more than $5 million in taxpayers funds and it is really unclear what it has been doing,” Senator Gallagher said.
“The announcement today makes the chances of us getting any more information out even less likely”.

South Australian Senator Rex Patrick said he supported the commission’s work, but slammed the secrecy surrounding its operations.
“If these people are all working in a dark room, adding more people means there’s just more in the dark room,” the Centre Alliance Senator told The New Daily.

“If the government is to recognise this as important, they have to appreciate that the Australian public needs visibility on what they’re doing and a mechanism to contribute.”

Senator Patrick said he understood why certain parts of the process would remain confidential, to promote frank discussions, but doesn’t support the wider opacity of its work.

“It’s unnecessary for those sorts of documents to be wrapped in the cabinet confidentiality blanket,” he said.

“This might suit someone who’s a dictator and doesn’t want anybody to scrutinise them, but that’s not how democracy works.”

Senator Patrick is also hoping to challenge the confidentiality of discussions at the national cabinet of state and territory leaders.

Greens leader Adam Bandt was another who took aim at what he claimed was a “secret” commission.

“The government’s new coronavirus commission is just a regular packaging of its old plans, based on trickle-down economics,” Mr Bandt said.

“It will operate secretly. There will not be the transparency that we need.

“But worst of all, it seems to be intent on propping up a dying fossil-fuel industry and giving support to big business at the expense of the public good.”

Police committing criminal offences above the law, unaccountable, that’s life in a colony, a police state.

Disproportionate act, Victoria Police assaulting disability pensioner John.

“No person is above the law” is a common (propaganda?) term used by authorities, where the serfs could swear that there was a caveat or fine print to that, where it excluded the people in ‘government’ as seen in many examples, excluding a few that did get caught and (allegedly) sentenced.

From the beginning of colonisation,up until a certain time police or at least Queensland police could commit criminal actions against the serf population with impunity, zero consequences and they knew it, because their 'brethren' in parliament set the law up that way.

They could beat the crap out of a man or even better use the cowardly act of 4 or more thugs beating the crap out of a 65 year old ‘slightly-built man’.

In Victoria 8 (eight) police thugs beat the living daylights out of a woman, a woman called Corinna Horvath, where she had to obtain a remedy outside the colony, but that’s not the focus of this article.

The court system trying to cover this abuse of a homeless man Mr. Bruce Rowe made sure he was not successful in his claims.

It was only after the Court of Appeal, where Mr. Rowe was able to obtain a remedy, but not from the system, but rather in a ‘private prosecution’.

In a response the police stated:

"In fact police officers may as well stay inside a police station and not do anything because of fear of what the law could do to them," Mr Leavers said.”

So does that mean the police are not able to carry out their duty of protecting the peace, preventing crime and preserving life and property, without breaking the law?

But the law applies to every person, doesn’t it?

So now what are people going to do in those instances where police broke the law in order to obtain a conviction/charge/fine, etc?

We live in a colony (called Australia), and therefore ‘Penal Colony Policies’ apply.

Mainstream media lies on 'young conspiracy theorist'

Headline grabbing BS "COVID OUTRAGE".

Doxed by the mainstream media.

Character assassination?

They're all the elements that you've done something right?

How about: "Woman in Australia appears to drive straight through COVID-19 checkpoint".

Like ploughed through a barricade, not following police directions, where women and children were seen running and heard screaming?

Let's take a closer look at what happened, with reference to legal documents as compiled by an official legal source.

So from the moment Ms. Black interacted with the police officer, she was not belligerent nor disrespectful to the police.

Towards the end of the interaction with police:

Eve: "Have I committed a crime?"

Officer: "No... keep going"

Ms Black was then waved by police to move on.

She followed a police directive, to keep travelling.

She did NOT: " drive straight through COVID-19 checkpoint" as stated by The Telegraph.

She stopped at the checkpoint, conversed with the police officer, and then followed the police officer's directive.

NOW, let's get onto the 'conspiracy' stuff:

Did she have to answer ANY questions by police?

- NO, she did not.

Time to take out a lawsuit against mainstream media?

Government fail, ‘nothing’ done for 6 months

Failure of Government is the result of the so called virus spread.

It’s easy to say that people are not following the ‘rules’ as opposed to the law or that they’re belligerent with regards to (no’ lawful‘) directions given.

Some special kind of people who have access to social media will say that it’s the people’s fault that the virus is spreading.

The governments (state and federal) had six months to get it right and they didn’t.

Victorians were told that from Thursday 23^rd of July 2020 (a couple of days under six months after the first recorded case) that they must wear face masks in public places, with no legal direction in place to do so.

With a so called pandemic you get one chance, only one chance to get it right and they didn’t.

Why?

Because it was an ‘unprecedented’ event, right?

Well, maybe for the ‘Australian Government’ or the ‘Parliament of Australia’ but the ‘Parliament of the Commonwealth' has dealt with a similar situation in 1919.

In any event it’s a HUGE ‘government fail’, so now the real question is who is going to hold the governments both state and federal responsible?

Take a copy of it, print it out, before they remove it?

Just like they removed the Bill of Rights 1688(UK), from the front page of the Western Australia’s State Law Publisher’s website, but that’s another story.

The so called 'honourable' Mr. Gregory Andrew Hunt has got to go.

Off topic: Why don't they want you to know about the Bill of Rights?

Police above the law, now enforcing ‘rules’?

What’s going on in this crazy colony?

Are the police running amock, untouchable by the law?

Can they enforce a ‘rule’ as opposed to a law (i.e. an Act)?

Has a ‘person’ got the right to sue an employee of Victoria Police?

Well it seems that the mainstream media is demonising persons for not following the ‘rules’ irrespective of the circumstances, where the mainstream media incited hatred where the woman concerned was doxed and death threats made as a result of the mainstream media's spotlight. 

Surely the mainstream media has broken Commonwealth law there open to a lawsuit but we’ll leave that for another day.

Briefly;

1). Does a ‘person’ while on foot have to stop for police for their questions?

- No

.

2). While in a motor vehicle does a person have to give any other information other than their name and address?

- No.

3). Does a Victorian (non-commercial) driver have to produce a licence upon a police officer’s request?

- No, not if over 26 years of age.

4). Is a fine valid for not producing a licence of person is over 26?

- No.

5). Does Victoria Police fine drivers (over the age of 26) or threaten drivers with a fine, for not producing a licence?

- Yes.

6). Can police enforce a ‘rule’ as opposed to a law (i.e. an Act)

- No, the courts enforce law.

7). Is an employee of the business called  Victoria Police or rather “POLICE DEPARTMENT (VIC)” (ABN: 63 446 481 493) above the law?

- No, that employee can be sued.

8). Can you trust police?

- No.

That’s it, no case law, no links.

P.S. This post is about the law and not on the topic of public health.

Martial law on the prison isle, the colony called Australia?

Penal Colony Policies in full force, the nanny state agenda in action.

There is no law stating that you must: 

1). answer your phone, 

2). be at home when someone knocks on your front door.

Breaking and entering into your home is a criminal offence.

COVID test useless: “Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic”

It is surprising that to date no person has posted the test results for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (that people are mandated to do in Victoria/Australia), which apparently leads to the COVID-19 disease AND what it means.

We have obtained information from a source that wishes to remain anonymous, where in reality the test for COVID is quite useless going by official documentation.

So, what is the NPAAC?

It's the National Pathology Accreditation Advisory Council.

So, what does it have to say about such a test?

See screen capture of page 4:

So what is NATA?

It's the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia.

See what they have to say about accreditation at:

See the effects of wrongful testing from an article in 2007 by The New York Times at:

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/health/22whoop.html

All this medical jargon too much to comprehend?

Let's simplify this with a motoring analogy:

It's like obtaining a fine as a result of a velocity measuring device that is not accredited by National Measurement Institute or subject under the National Measurement Act 1960.

Class action against Google for tracking even when opt-out enabled

A class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that Google tracks users on hundreds of thousands of apps even when they opt out of "Web & App Activity" in the settings.

The data privacy lawsuit accuses the search engine giant of violating wiretap law and California privacy law by recording what users are looking at in apps.

It also alleges the tracking occurs through Google's Firebase, a popular set of software for app makers.

Alphabet Inc's Google records what people are doing on hundreds of thousands of mobile apps even when they follow the company's recommended settings for stopping such monitoring, a lawsuit seeking class action status alleged on Tuesday.

The data privacy lawsuit is the second filed in as many months against Google by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner on behalf a handful of individual consumers. The firm's clients also have included Google competitors such as Facebook Inc and Oracle Corp.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the filing.

The new complaint in a U.S. district court in San Jose accuses Google of violating federal wiretap law and California privacy law by logging what users are looking at in news, ride-hailing and other types of apps despite them having turned off "Web & App Activity" tracking in their Google account settings.

The lawsuit alleges the data collection happens through Google's Firebase, a set of software popular among app makers for storing data, delivering notifications and ads, and tracking glitches and clicks.

Firebase typically operates inside apps invisibly to consumers.

"Even when consumers follow Google's own instructions and turn off 'Web & App Activity' tracking on their 'Privacy Controls,' Google nevertheless continues to intercept consumers' app usage and app browsing communications and personal information," the lawsuit contends.

Google uses some Firebase data to improve its products and personalize ads and other content for consumers, according to the lawsuit.

Reuters reported in March that U.S. antitrust investigators are looking into whether Google has unlawfully stifled competition in advertising and other businesses by effectively making Firebase unavoidable.

In its case last month, Boies Schiller Flexner accused Google of surreptitiously recording Chrome browser users' activity even when they activated what Google calls Incognito mode. Google said it would fight the claim.

Government fraud - COVIDSafe app links to Liberal party.

COVIDSafe's problems aren't Google or Apple's fault despite government claims

Australia's COVIDSafe app is unreliable, and so far has proved to be of little practical benefit, but it doesn't have to be an ongoing political sideshow.

The iOS version of Australia's troubled COVID-19 contact tracing app, COVIDSafe, tries to connect to every device a user's phone has ever connected to, indefinitely, and that's just one of the lingering bugs.

Every time the Bluetooth controller disconnects from a device, such as when COVIDSafe successfully exchanges data with another app user, it will attempt the reconnect 15 seconds later.

"When devices go out of range or switch identifier, these connections will stay pending indefinitely," wrote Richard Nelson, when reporting the bug some 16 days ago.

"This is almost certainly the cause of COVIDSafe causing some (maybe not all) issues with connections to Apple Watch and other devices."

Both the Android and iOS versions of COVIDSafe have previously been reported to interfere with blood glucose monitors, as well as fitness activity trackers, earbuds, and in-car audio.

The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) acknowledged this iOS bug on GitHub the following day, but has not posted an update since.

Another unfixed bug prevents some iOS-to-iOS exchanges thanks to bad handling of payloads longer than Bluetooth's maximum transmission unit (MTU).

The government continues to blame the app's unreliability on both Android and iOS on a lack of cooperation from Apple and Google. According to tech community developers who've been debugging the app, that's not true.

"If the government are claiming that the issues are Apple's fault, then it just doesn't make sense when we know that there are perfectly good explanations that are not Apple's fault," developer Jim Mussared told ZDNet.

"We know that there's a bug here, and we know that it results in the app not functioning, and we know that it results in breaking connectivity to other devices. So what grounds have they therefore got to be blaming mysterious issues on iPhones?"

The government is also continuing to rule out moving to the contact tracing API developed jointly by Apple and Google -- which wasn't available when COVIDSafe was developed -- on the grounds that it would remove them from the process.

"There's no way we're shifting to a platform that will take out the contact tracers," said Nick Coatsworth, Australia's deputy Chief Medical Officer, in June.

The Apple-Google approach was designed to be more protective of people's privacy, but the flipside is that it can't provide data in all the ways a contact tracer might want.

One scenario is when a person who tests positive for COVID-19 tells a contact tracer that they were on public transport at a certain time. COVIDSafe logs could potentially identify which app users were in the vicinity at that time.

"Apple-Google doesn't really facilitate that direction of looking at the data," Mussared said.

"The Apple-Google system inverts the reporting such that the notified person (i.e. the detected contact) sends the details of the exposure to the authorities, however that info does not include the source of the exposure, only the time and 'risk metric'," he said.

That gets you a lot of the way there, which means it's at least useful for contact tracers while still preserving privacy.

"At least the Apple-Google thing works," Mussared added. "If you're gonna have an app, at least get some benefit from it."

Does COVIDSafe's cost represent value for money?

The government's spending on its coronavirus-related app is reportedly millions more than previously thought.

Technology company DELV has been paid more than AU$3.8 million to develop the coronavirus information app, reported 9News on Monday.

The total for work on that app and COVIDSafe was reportedly around AU$6 million.

DELV also "has links to the Liberal Party", according to 9News, although a spokesman for Health Minister Greg Hunt said "the entire procurement process ... has been undertaken under Australian Government procurement rules."

The federal government's coronavirus advertising spend has been more than AU$64 million, though how much of that was specifically for COVIDSafe is not yet known.

Meanwhile, Ireland's contact tracing app, which is based on the Apple-Google tracing system, has seen 1.3 million downloads in its first eight days.

"It still has to prove its mettle," Seán L'Estrange, a social scientist at University College Dublin, told the Guardian.

At €850,000 (around AU$1.4 million) the app is "dirt cheap", he said, given that the average cost of identifying each case of infection is €42,000.

"Even if it fails to produce the goods, little has been lost."

Stubborn politicians keep misrepresenting everything

The effectiveness of COVIDSafe, or rather the lack of effectiveness, continues to distract from the government's COVID-19 messaging. It didn't have to be this way.

The Minister for Government Services, Stuart Robert, continues to misrepresent COVIDSafe's utility and the research into its potential benefits.

"It's found over 200 specific cases of contact tracing where people have actually helped professionals who have used it to contact other Australians that may have been impacted," Robert told radio FiveAA Adelaide as recently as last Thursday.

"It's designed to augment manual tracing, and that's what it's doing," he said.

"As the Sax Institute says the truth is, it is critical to containing a second wave [of COVID-19 infections]."

Neither of these things are true.

COVIDSafe may have been used in 200 people's tracing procedures, but it has yet to identify a single individual who hadn't already been found by traditional methods.

The Sax Institute said that COVIDSafe "has the potential to be an important adjunct" to manual contact tracing, not "critical to containing a second wave", but only if the bugs are fixed and more people use it.

Continued social distancing and large-scale testing are what's "vital" to avoiding a second wave, they said.
These
 misleading comments by Robert, and similar ones by his ministerial colleagues, are nothing more than political spin designed to smudge over previous misinformation.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is to blame, thanks to his daft comparison of COVIDSafe to wearing sunscreen, and the made-up target for app downloads.

Robert has said Services Australia's goals now include transparency, but we have yet to see that in the case of COVIDSafe.

An honest government could dig itself out of this hole by acknowledging that COVIDSafe was over-sold, and that there isn't any magical technical solution that'll prevent the spread of the disease.

A government with a spine would be happy to acknowledge that its strategy has changed, and simply suck up the usual whinging from journalists about "backflips".

After all, it's only a few million dollars, a tiny part of a total national COVID-19 response that has already cost tens of billions of dollars.
