"You'll remember in January last year the Student Guild at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane banned the IPA's Generation Liberty program from participating in student orientation activities on campus, because according to the Guild 'your [the IPA's] brand does not align with our values'.
The ban received nationwide media coverage as yet another demonstration of the freedom of speech crisis in our universities.
The Institute of Public Affairs and the IPA's Generation Liberty Campus Coordinator at QUT, Chris Dekker fought the ban - for the sake not only of QUT students but as a matter of principle for every student in every university and every school in Australia.
Chris lodged a complaint with the Queensland Human Rights Commission on the basis the QUT Student Guild had breached both the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act by discriminating against him because of his political beliefs and the Queensland Human Rights Act by restricting his rights specified in the legislation including his freedom of expression, his right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association, his right to take part in public life, his freedom of thought, and his freedom of conscience.
The IPA and Chris didn't want any financial compensation from the Guild, only a public apology so that what occurred would never happen again and to set a precedent so that other student associations at other universities wouldn't attempt to do what the QUT Student Guild had done."
But it has happened again .. "The IPA's Generation Liberty program now has a presence at more than 20 Australian universities and until the actions of the QUT Student Guild last year had operated without incident as Generation Liberty held events and debates and hosted guest speakers at many different universities. What occurred at QUT is I fear a sign of the times as universities become more hostile to any ideas that challenge the prevailing left-wing orthodoxy of our tertiary institutions. After operating successfully at Monash University in Melbourne for the last few years, Generation Liberty was banned from the campus by the student association from participating in the university’s orientation activities because of the views they assume the IPA holds about climate change. We've lodged a complaint with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission which hasn't been heard as yet, and I'll of course keep you informed of developments."

Dear Boss,
Compelling any employee to take any current Covid-19 vaccine violates federal and state law, and subjects the employer to substantial liability risk, including liability for any injury the employee may suffer from the vaccine. Many employers have reconsidered issuing such a mandate after more fruitful review with legal counsel, insurance providers, and public opinion advisors of the desires of employees and the consuming public. Even the Kaiser Foundation warned of the legal risk in this respect. (https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/key-questions-about-covid-19-vaccine-mandates/)
Three key concerns: first, while the vaccine remains unapproved by the FDA and authorized only for emergency use, federal law forbids mandating it, in accordance with the Nuremberg Code of 1947; second, the Americans with Disabilities Act proscribes, punishes and penalizes employers who invasively inquire into their employees' medical status and then treat those employees differently based on their medical status, as the many AIDS related cases of decades ago fully attest; and third, international law, Constitutional law, specific statutes and the common law of torts all forbid conditioning access to employment upon coerced, invasive medical examinations and treatment, unless the employer can fully provide objective, scientifically validated evidence of the threat from the employee and how no practicable alternative could possible suffice to mitigate such supposed public health threat and still perform the necessary essentials of employment.
At the outset, consider the "problem" being "solved" by vaccination mandates. The previously infected are better protected than the vaccinated, so why aren't they exempted? Equally, the symptomatic can be self-isolated. Hence, requiring vaccinations only addresses one risk: dangerous or deadly transmission, by the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic employee, in the employment setting. Yet even government official Mr. Fauci admits, as scientific studies affirm, asymptomatic transmission is exceedingly and "very rare." Indeed, initial data suggests the vaccinated are just as, or even much more, likely to transmit the virus as the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. Hence, the vaccine solves nothing. This evidentiary limitation on any employer's decision making, aside from the legal and insurance risks of forcing vaccinations as a term of employment without any accommodation or even exception for the previously infected (and thus better protected), is the reason most employers wisely refuse to mandate the vaccine. This doesn't even address the arbitrary self-limitation of the pool of talent for the employer: why reduce your own talent pool, when many who refuse invasive inquiries or risky treatment may be amongst your most effective, efficient and profitable employees?
First, federal law prohibits any mandate of the Covid-19 vaccines as unlicensed, emergency-use-authorization-only vaccines. Subsection bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of section 360 of Title 21 of the United States Code, otherwise known as the Emergency Use Authorization section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, demands that everyone give employees the "option to accept or refuse administration" of the Covid-19 vaccine. (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/360bbb-3 ) This right to refuse emergency, experimental vaccines, such as the Covid-19 vaccine, implements the internationally agreed legal requirement of Informed Consent established in the Nuremberg Code of 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/ ). As the Nuremberg Code established, every person must "be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision" for any medical experimental drug, as the Covid-19 vaccine currently is. The Nuremberg Code prohibited even the military from requiring such experimental vaccines. (Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F.Supp.2d 119 (D.D.C. 2003).
Second, demanding employees divulge their personal medical information invades their protected right to privacy, and discriminates against them based on their perceived medical status, in contravention of the Americans with Disabilities Act. (42 USC §12112(a).) Indeed, the ADA prohibits employers from invasive inquiries about their medical status, and that includes questions about diseases and treatments for those diseases, such as vaccines. As the EEOC makes clear, an employer can only ask medical information if the employer can prove the medical information is both job-related and necessary for the business. (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/questions-and-answers-enforcement-guidance-disability-related-inquiries-and-medical). An employer that treats an individual employee differently based on that employer’s belief the employee’s medical condition impairs the employee is discriminating against that employee based on perceived medical status disability, in contravention of the ADA. The employer must have proof that the employer cannot keep the employee, even with reasonable accommodations, before any adverse action can be taken against the employee. If the employer asserts the employee’s medical status (such as being unvaccinated against a particular disease) precludes employment, then the employer must prove that the employee poses a “safety hazard” that cannot be reduced with a reasonable accommodation. The employer must prove, with objective, scientifically validated evidence, that the employee poses a materially enhanced risk of serious harm that no reasonable accommodation could mitigate. This requires the employee's medical status cause a substantial risk of serious harm, a risk that cannot be reduced by any another means. This is a high, and difficult burden, for employers to meet. Just look at the all prior cases concerning HIV and AIDS, when employers discriminated against employees based on their perceived dangerousness, and ended up paying millions in legal fees, damages and fines.
Third, conditioning continued employment upon participating in a medical experiment and demanding disclosure of private, personal medical information, may also create employer liability under other federal and state laws, including HIPAA, FMLA, and applicable state tort law principles, including torts prohibiting and proscribing invasions of privacy and battery. Indeed, any employer mandating a vaccine is liable to their employee for any adverse event suffered by that employee. The CDC records reports of the adverse events already reported to date concerning the current Covid-19 vaccine.(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vaers.html )
Finally, forced vaccines constitute a form of battery, and the Supreme Court long made clear "no right is more sacred than the right of every individual to the control of their own person, free from all restraint or interference of others." (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/141/250)

Texas Gov. Greg Greg Abbott on Thursday ordered another special legislative session to again try passing a GOP voting bill after Democrats left the state in protest to again prevent Republicans from changing the state's elections laws.... [Full Story]
1. Covid. I like to go through pre-pandemic scientific literature to uncover what was commonly known before the WhiteLabCoats suddenly shifted gear during this pandemic. Of note, it was common knowledge that mass vaccination during a pandemic could create a risk of "imperfect" or "leaky" vaccines, and that doing so would actually worsen the pandemic, not improve it, as Fauci implied yesterday with his "new variant may escape and evade the virus" statements. This is what several of the experts on Bret Weinstein's podcast have been warning for more than a year. Viral evolution is a problem no coronavirus vaccine has ever solved. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4516275/
2. Legal. Missouri Attorney General files another suit against mask mandates after winning his suit against St. Louis. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/kc-mask-petition---final.pdf?sfvrsn=7ecf0e57_2
3. Economics. Almost half of all mortgage debt was taken out in the last year: e.g., Fed policies creating asset bubbles to get cash into people's pockets that distract from the crushing effect of the lockdown. Often, the Fed and government policies use debt, personal, corporate and governmental, to mask core problems in the economy, then later blame the consumer when the check comes due. https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/interactives/householdcredit/data/pdf/HHDC_2021Q2.pdf
4. Politics. My friend Sean Trende now acknowledges the California recall is real: "In other words, this election does look increasingly like a true tossup." https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/08/05/could_newsom_actually_be_recalled_146197.html
5. Cultural. Johnny Depp wins right to see if his ex Amber Heard lied about donations to ACLU, as the ACLU has been covering for her for years. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2021/07/30/johnny-depp-granted-request-aclu-confirm-amber-heard-donation/5438287001/

A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Road works outside Dandenong Plaza confused a blind man today who got no support from road workers as he tried to cross a busy road, but the way to lights for pedestrians was impeded by temporary barriers. The guy tapped on the bus stopped in the middle of the road, waiting for a lollipop guy to move traffic. Four months of work and inconvenience, but nothing has been fixed.
A senior public servant was quizzed regarding the red shirt rort. After three years since the issue was first raised by Matthew Guy, the issue has been investigated, and is now being investigated by police, the senior public servant neither confirmed nor denied they'd workshopped the rort. They said they could not remember discussing it, and would not do so. But, that is not good enough. They have for three years known the question was coming. ALP can lay low, but as they are in government, it is reasonable to ask these questions, and expect them to be answered, not ducked.
As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.
If there is something in Australia terrorists like, I do not want it here. Start with Waverley Council. Add His But Terrier, they really are bottom feeders. Throw in the guy who gives dinners to terrorists. And the guy who apologises for terrorists. And the girls who dress like terrorists. I'm a guy who supports cultural diversity, but terrorism is not that. And, remove any council fees related to the approval process for the synagogue. They have already been stiffed too much.
A picture was circulated today, an anti Trump meme from Breen of San Diego Union Tribune. It has Trump being restrained from pressing a nuclear button after he has received a critical post from a Kansas girl. And the entire meme is an insult to the intelligence of the reader. As a contribution to discussion, it fails. No Republican President has ever nuked an enemy, be they foreign or domestic. It was a Democrat President who nuked civilians, twice, and claimed he slept well. It was a Democrat President who allowed safety to slip at Three Mile Island. It is the Democrats who are so thin skinned they built a wall to keep out visitors to their convention in the city of brotherly love. It is Democrats who have kept public opinion secret from their chosen candidate. It is Democrats who corrupted their process to choose an insider when the people are saying they are tired of insiders interpreting the dreams of the people poorly. Breen is not discussing politics, or even being funny. Breen is abusing someone he dislikes because .. well, he might not need reason.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
In current affairs Christopher Pyne has a sensible policy for higher education that allows the sector to expand and excel. There is no alternative vision given by the opposition. Unless Pyne's reforms are followed, the sector threatens to implode. The opposition are opposing the budget measures and worse, independents are flagging they will too. There is no alternative to affordable. Students need to eventually repay loans. Students need to shoulder a fair portion of the burden of costs. The sector needs to be able to sell itself overseas. Twin baby Gammy may be a part of a Thai surrogacy scam. The baby may be the child of a pedophile. However, the baby deserves to be raised in a loving, healthy family. Surrogacy and adoption laws in Australia mean prospective parents look overseas. The dad should never be a parent. Now it looks like the corrupt Thai government are seeking money and threatening the surrogate mother as a shakedown. NSW Government is looking sick in the ICAC hearings, but then the biased court is good at denouncing conservatives where it turns a blind eye on ALP. The involvement of Tripodi opens questions of the NSW Government's handling of my issue outlined in my petition. Have I been sold down the river to pay for ALP corruption the ICAC has accepted?
Also on this day in history, in 1806, the Holy Roman Empire dissolved after the last emperor abdicated, leaving large kingdoms like Austria, Hungary and what would later be Germany. Francis II would continue to oppose Napoleon. In 1912, the Bull Moose Party established by Theodore Roosevelt met in Chicago Coliseum. Theodore split the conservative vote and gave Democrat Wilson the Presidency. In 1926, the movie Don Juan starring John Barrymore was released. It featured sound effects, but no talking. And the most kisses of any Hollywood movie. In 1930, the corrupt New York Government resulted in Judge Joseph Crater disappearing. Some say he was killed by police and relatives of police. In 1964, an old tree was identified and cut down for research. The research was unequivocal, that tree was old. Possibly five thousand years old. There is no evidence the scientist had read Tolkein's work.

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 68-69
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.
may his foes flee before him.
2 May you blow them away like smoke-
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.
3 But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.
extol him who rides on the clouds;
rejoice before him-his name is the LORD.
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,

6 God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land....

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.
Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?
January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
