the dickheads whinging about the masks, if you know any of them, send them this:

"I am reading about people claiming their freedom is being taken away from them because they have been asked to wear masks. They say they won't pay any fines associated with not wearing one. Although I don't agree with their statement regarding the removal of their rights, I totally understand how people are being influenced by the media and some of their peers to believe that they are being done wrong by. For those of you who fall into this category, there are a few more things you should consider to maintain your rights. You should decline the Government's offer to assist with Jobkeeper, Jobseeker or the $750 bonus payments because your right to financially struggle will be taken away from you if you accept these payments. You should decline your bosses offer to keep you on part time because you will lose your right to join the thousands in the Centrelink line whose bosses couldn't make them that offer. You should pay full childcare fees because paying a reduced rate takes away your right to fully support your decision to work while your child is cared for by someone else. You should return to the workplace rather than work from home because being told to work from home takes away your right to work in a real working environment. You should hire a private tutor for your children because teachers now working 12 hour days to remotely teach your children takes away your right as a parent to have your children taught the way you feel you are entitled to. You should decline to accept treatment for yourself if you end up with Covid 19 because accepting treatment takes away every right you thought you had by refusing to wear a mask. Unfortunately that should also apply to every friend or family member you pass the disease on to as allowing them to accept treatment for your choices takes away your right to make those choices in the first place. Most importantly, you should start apologising, and possibly saying goodbye to, the people in your life who may suffer and/or die as a result of you wanting to exercise your rights because waiting until it's too late to apologise takes away your right to show how sorry you are while they were still alive.
Up until this pandemic, I thought I lived in a world that was progressive, intelligent and relatively safe within the confines of my Country. Sadly I was mistaken as I now know that stupidity and naivety can take away my rights. To watch my children raise their children in a safe world. To see my Grandchildren grow up. To see the world through travel. To race my walking frame against my husband and his. To sit with him in our 80s and reminisce about the wonderful life we had together. To breathe without struggling in my final days. To die a death where I can bemom in a hospital surrounded by medical staff holding an IPad where I may be able to glimpse my family with tears rolling down their faces. Or MOST DEVASTATING OF ALL, being one of those people watching my family member dying in a hospital room and thinking all I want to do is be with them and hold them as they take their last difficult and painful breath.
It's a mask. Not a gas chamber. Not a firing squad. Not a noose around your neck. And not the ventilator that may be the alternative. Surely you can manage to be grown up about it and exercise your right to be a responsible member of the society we are struggling to see a future in. - Author unknown, and shared from another post ..."

Just pass them a mask, with the words "does this mask smell like chloroform to you".

once passed out, involuntary admit to either mental health ward or remand.

Penalise these peanuts hard, dont let be media heroes.

So bizarre. I guess people get seduced by conspiracy stuff and do 180 spins on topics from time to time, but, as a psychic (!?) one might have thought she'd be able to see this one coming. ;)

She was one of the 2 Bunnings bitches. She was actually on the 9 breakfast show this morning, after a few minutes Karl basically called her an idiot and cut her off.

The other Bunnings bitch has signs up at her house telling Police, Sheriff's, process servers that they're trespassing and she will fine them with a few high court cases quoted for reference. Yet she called the cops to chase away a camera crew tring to ask her questions

This one has been circulated by one colleague:

I HAVE A LAW DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE. IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS BEEN REFUSED ENTRY TO A PRIVATE BUSINESS FOR NOT WEARING A MASK AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE LEGAL OPTIONS TO PROTECT YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, I AM HAPPY TO HELP EXPLAIN JUST HOW STUPID YOU ARE.

Yeah, seen that.

Looks like the other Bunnings karen who also haunts pharmacies and has the anti trespassing sign up is fond of the common law principles. The cases quoted including Plenty vs Dillon1991 and Kuru vs State of NSW are high court decisions over trespassing under common law.

Interesting that someone's head can go that scrambled
