Former top cops blast Andrews’ power grab

Former Victoria Police chief commissioner Kel Glare and a group of former police commissioners and top cops have blasted Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ proposed new powers as dangerous and undemocratic.

The intervention by the respected community leaders comes on the back of a powerful group of retired judges and leading QCs also expressing alarm the proposed laws would be “unprecedented, excessive and open to abuse”.

The COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) and Other Acts Amendment Bill would allow the Andrews government to appoint anyone as a designated officer with the power to arrest anyone with COVID-19 (or their close contacts) who the authorised officer reasonably believes “is likely” to breach an emergency direction.

Plato On Laws

Plato On Laws

Hasn’t changed in over 2,000 years! Good guys don’t need law and bad guys are bad because they can’t follow rules or execute orders so having a mountain of statutes just makes it more onerous for all.

Twitter Goes Full Feral

Apparently Twitter have had a major outage. Twitter is down for millions of people, but some can still log in and read tweets, just not tweet themselves. Many are claiming it has to do with Twitters censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Human Rights Video #17: Right to Ownership

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.

Psychiatry Ruins Creativity

Psychiatry Ruins Creativity

As renowned American writer Henry James once said, “It is art that makes life.” His words are no less true today, for indeed, artists are the individuals who dream our future and create the realities of tomorrow. True, so do engineers and businesspersons and visionaries in other fields, but by and large the futures they create revolve around our material well-being. It is the artist who lifts the spirit, makes us laugh and cry and can even shape the spiritual future of our culture. It is artists who make life.
