The Liberals are hellbent on exempting Christian organisations from discrimination and other laws, so we shouldn't be surprised. Hopefully, the Coalition won't be able to pass their religious freedom to discriminate laws.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 01-14-2022

Djokovic is getting an urgent hearing at 9.45 pm tonight. A assume it'll be the sake judge as last time.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 01-14-2022

FFS, it looks like I was wrong. The reasons for decision apparently say the Minister assumes Djokovic did all that he was required to do, had suffered Covid and legitimately received a vaccine exemption, that he poses little risk to anyone in Australia, and is of good character. It looks like he exercised it on the ground that Djokovic's continued presence in Australia would excite anti-vaxxer sentiment in Australia. Holy hell.

It looks like Djokovic's counsel was right to wonder whether the decision was left to 6pm on Friday night in the hope it would make it hard for Djokovic to challenge the decision.

I should say I haven't read the reasons and I'm just going off what Djokovic's counsel, Mark Woods QC, said to the Judge in tonight's hearing.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 01-14-2022

I can't believe how inept the Govt has been. Fair dinkum, it's so easy for the Govt to win this sort of case. It's 60 points up in the final quarter. Yet it looks like it'strying to lose it. If betting on the result was allowed, the bookies would be screaming blue murder right now. Real keystone cops stuff. Maybe the reasons aren't as bad as Mark Woods QC makes out ... 

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - DJC - 01-14-2022

Getting a little off topic but one of the classic examples of white male privilege is the Duke of York.  Yes, he's a protestant but there is hardly a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in his body.  He comes from good German and Greek stock.  His partner in crime, Jeffrey Epstein, was Jewish but still used his white male privilege to feed his sick desires.  And then there's Ghislaine Maxwell, obviously female and the daughter of an orthodox Jew, but still guilty of exploiting her position of privilege at the expense of innocents; female but generally from relatively privileged backgrounds.

I'm not sure how relevant the concept of white male privilege is, rich folk do OK at the expense of poor folk regardless of ethnicity and religion.  That brings me to the concept of WASP, a particularly American term used to describe the American political elite, generally of British descent.  However, in recent times, it is applied to all Americans of Northern and North Western European heritage.  The concepts of WASP and white male privilege (today it's generally white privilege without the emphasis on male, and I think that has marginally more relevance) aren't one and the same. It's also worth noting that "white" in the context of white privilege is defined as people with European ancestral origins.

As with most attempts to classify/categorise folk on the basis of their ethnicity and/or religion, WASP is a flawed concept.  My heritage is mainly British with a dash of Irish and Scandinavian but I don't have any Anglo-Saxon ancestry.  I don't believe in an imaginary being but my ancestors were equally protestant and catholic - more fool them!  My British ancestors were yeoman farmers, so relatively privileged, but those who came to Australia were strictly working class labourers, until my generation.

Novax is privileged because he's worth a mint and he comes from a society where males are valued more than females.  It's interesting that Serbian PM Ana Brnabić is more conciliatory in her comments about the Australian Government's actions than that lunatic Vučić (still, I wouldn't mind seeing Vučić duke it out with Scotty from marketing à la Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Two Tribes).  Ana clearly sees that Novax is an arrogant prick with a dangerous, anti-social attitude.

Moving a little further off topic, in 1989 I attended the World Archaeological Congress on Archaeological Ethics and the Treatment of the Dead in South Dakota.  The Indigenous representatives caucused and came up with a resolution that they presented to the congress.  All was going well until the two Sami representatives objected because they hadn't been invited to the caucus.  They tore strips off the other Indigenous representatives for excluding them on the basis of their skin colour.  As a descendant of Indigenous Britons, I could probably have mounted an argument for inclusion too.  However, being five generations removed from the home of my ancestors must reduce the veracity of any such claim.

My cousin's child lasted 1 year at a Christian school. They called him to pick up his son because he was wearing an inappropriate costume for book week.  Apparently if you dress up as Harry Potter you are into witchcraft

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 01-14-2022

That's hardcore, MBB! My son went to a Catholic primary school and every 2nd boy went to Book Week as Harry Potter. Easiest costume ever: a plastic wand and plastic round spectacle frames from the 2 dollar shop and bingo. The Priest at the school was hardcore too and was probably seething but the principal generally kept him under control.

It's a difficult task to find a RAT test.
You line up for hours and then wait a week for results
and then.....

Folk here on the Bellarine Peninsula are reporting that they're getting their PCR test results within 24 hours.  The pressure on the system must have eased.
