No good citizen in their right mind would want to see democracy further eroded in the United States of America. Cold cash and mercantilist in all levels of political process have lowered – shall we say Trumped – how the United States is perceived internationally. President Biden set out his thoughts for the world to consider yesterday.
New Zealand is one of our closest friends and partners. The unbreakable bond we share was established when the first US Consul to New Zealand was on hand to witness the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6, 1840.”

Seeing cities in lockdown was the push Jancine and Steve Harrison needed to pack up and move to Kalbar – a regional Queensland town, population about 2000.
“When the Brisbane lockdowns happened, I just worked from home so it didn’t affect me much, but COVID-19 was definitely the push for us to move,” Ms Harrison said.
New Kalbar residents Jancine and Steve Harrison.
“We were looking at what was happening in other cities, with constant lockdowns, and we didn’t want to get caught up in it all so we just thought no, we love the country, so let’s move out there.
In other words, perhaps, the coronavirus virus uses long-term infections as a mutational testing ground. While inside one person, they can try out all these different combinations of mutations and figure out, through trial and error, which ones are best at evading the immune system or helping the virus become more infectious.
Nothing new and textbook virus evolution. However, the leap to the last sentence is not and is not the most likely outcome, rather the opposite, in my opinion, and very poorly worded.
And this process is likely happening again right now, worldwide, in other immunocompromised patients. Eventually, these new variants could mutate again and create even more dangerous forms of the virus.

A mafia-like code of silence among dark networks within the Catholic Church has begun to emerge from a world-first project mapping clerical paedophile networks, says an academic behind the project.
Key points:
The first mapping effort linked 99 clergy to 16 paedophile networks in the Melbourne and Ballarat dioceses
Documents and the oral histories of at least 50 survivors are being used
Women in the church and nuns will be examined as part of the mapping process
Professor Lidia Morawska, director of the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health at the Queensland University of Technology wants quarantine to be led from Canberra and has called for a review of every hotel providing quarantine in Australia.
âSo, here we are again. The most important aspect is acknowledgement at the top level in Australia that airborne transmission is a main route of transmission in general. This is the golden rule: hazard, not recognised [will] never be controlled and they are stubbornly refusing to recognise this hazard,â Professor Morawska said.

â[Airborne transmission] has been rejected, rejected and rejected, even though it is so obvious.
