  1.  @turningpoint4238  No it doesn't. Why do the pseudoscientific always bring up thermodynamics yet clearly have no understanding of the 3 rules. 🤦

  2. No @peterhotdog5743  they are not correct. The fatality rate isn't even consistent country to country. That's the case even when limiting to just the first world. Nor is the fatality rate consistent by age group. Again, let me also repeat. Fatality rate does not tell the whole story. 30% of those who acquire CoVID-19 have never lost their symptoms to the point they are unable to lead normal lives, including the ability to work. You have literally no idea what you are talking about.

  3. It's not bribery @chrispapa2782  it's far more complicated than that. For starters Cricket Australia aren't paying money. If anything the NSW government are paying them money to still hold the event. All major sporting events generate large volumes of stimulus for a local economy and make up a significant portion of the operating budget for some government departments and services. For example, all of those spectators don't magically appear at the venue. At least a 1/3 of spectators for any large event take public transportation, without those kinds of massive boosts to revenue public transport wouldn't be a sustainable service that could be offered. Of the spectators that drive, a percentage of them will try to avoid parking fees by parking illegally in the surrounding streets. Those vehicles represent significant revenue for the council through fines and enforcements. After the game all of those spectators don't just immediately go straight home. They burn off their excitement at nearby bars, clubs and restaurants. Money that will help keep those businesses afloat and will immediately flow into the wider economy They visit casinos or pub gaming rooms, which also attract state taxes. And all of that spending is contagious, having roll on effects for the economy for several weeks after. Should Sydney have cancelled spectators at the test? Absolutely. A broadcast only game would have made Cricket Australia similar volumes of revenue and stopped the spread. There's money involved in the poor decision, no fight to keep the test going, but it's coming from the spectators. We'd never hear about the SCG as the source of spread even if it were because that would have political consequences. The real problem here is we have politicians playing politics during a pandemic instead of simply doing the public health measures necessary.

  5. They're a waste of money. The actual future is hydrogen powered vehicles.

  6.  @egemensuzgun4208  No. Battery electric are worse for the environment in materials, waste & power source. The world is going hydrogen, not battery electric.

  7.  @teamjg277  HFC don't use batteries to make up for anything. This is honestly one of the dumbest discussions I've ever had the displeasure of being a part of. You can flail your hands around all you like with stupid statements and whataboutisms but nothing will change reality. The reality is battery EV was only ever intended as a transition technology. HFC has always been the future of transport. There is literally no debate here. Buying a battery ev is what fools do

  8.  @turningpoint4238  Again, you have literally no clue what the words you're using mean. Edit: For the record, hydrogen is produced with electrolysis of water using solar generators as their energy source. It has literally nothing to do with fossil fuel.
    1
  9.  @turningpoint4238  Green hydrogen is made through electrolysis of water, not natural gas. The electrolysis is powered by solar generators, I've already discussed this. The Federal government, Queensland government and UQ entered into a joint partnership on the UQ hydrogen plant at Gatton back in April. With the new investments the plant will upgrade to be able to produce 80% of Australia's hydrogen needs through 2035. WA has a second plant planned. Combined they will make Australia energy independent for our transportation sector including private vehicles. That pushes prices down. At least you gave up on your ridiculous claims about thermodynamics.

  10.  @2RollBar3  It never ceases to amaze me how futile it has become to explain what's happening to some people. Your ignorance is astounding
    1
  11.  @turningpoint4238  This has literally nothing to do with fossil fuels, hydrogen makes Australia energy independent from the fossil fuel industry and the plants are all Federal/State partnerships making them public assets. You are claiming something isn't going to happen that was announced decades ago, that's already fully funded, that is already rolling out and products that can be purchased today. I'm not wasting my time responding to you anymore, you have literally no concept what what is happening and you don't understand most of the words you use.

  12. @Seawolf They absolutely are. The treasurer was part of the Hyundai Nexo launch in Australia the other week. It was a big thing and got news coverage. They announced federal funding to convert pumps at petrol stations to hydrogen, and a suite of other funding measures. Australia is committed to hydrogen as the primary fuel source for passenger vehicles. It's far greener and cheaper than batteries.

  13.  @pointy3118  They did no such thing

  14. No @carlenedickinson9535  they did not.

  15.  @carnage2k4  Herd immunity is not the same thing as individuals being immune. Just because an individual can become immune to a virus does not mean herd immunity can exist. SARS for example does not have herd immunity yet individuals can become immune to it. Herd immunity is the number of people who have to be immune before a virus can no longer reproduce sufficiently to infect those who are NOT immune.

  16. None. Offshore vaccinations have always been part of the plan. They were designed in and accounted for. No one will miss out.

  17. That's not how that works. Return travel has been capped since April 2020. It's not a free for all where as many people can come home as they want. They're in a literal queue, they register with DFAT and DFAT call them when they're ALLOWED to return. It's going to take even longer to get back now that all the states have cut their quotas to a quarter. Before January the national quota was 6000 return travellers per week split amongst the states. First week of January that dropped to less than 3000 nationally split across the states. Many of our citizens abroad feel abandoned, and here you are literally advocating to abandon them. Something that would actually be unconstitutional (ie. illegal)

  18.  Tom Crossman  Not until your vaccinated.

  19.  @delfabrkic9432  What are you even talking about? Take off your tinfoil hat and come back to reality. SARS-CoV-2 is a naturally occurring novel virus, there is no indication in it's structure nor genealogy to suggest it is anything but naturally occurring. Your level of ignorance is astounding

  20. Oh look, it's our old buddy with the nonsense username that can't be replied to and their tinfoil hat misinformation. A yank too if I remember correctly

  21.  @vayne2929 Was that supposed to be coherent

  22. @Bailover Trend That's a ridiculous statement

  23. To they who can not be named, yet again more absolute ignorance on your part. SIDS has nothing to do with vaccines. Take your antivaxxer yank butt back to yankville where you belong.

  24.  @connorsmummy09  That's complete fiction

  25. @Bailover Trend No mate. That's a false equivalency and the ONLY reason Australia is in the position it's in is because of those health orders. Period

  26. Stop the fear campaign, the media has a lot to answer for. The fed should fine you over it. As a station, and the reporters individually as well. $100K a piece for individuals. $1M a piece for news broadcasters and mastheads. You don't report the blood clots from literally any other vaccine or medication. The oral contraceptive causes blood clots, how often do you report those? The MMR vaccine package causes blood clots. How often do you report those? Thousands of medications can cause blood clots and at a much higher rate than AstraZeneca. But you have never reported those. Knock the fear campaign off.

  27.  @pregardt  🤦🤦🤦 This is a ridiculous and pointless discussion. If you aren't interested in reality I can't help you

  28. This isn't a "fall for that" scenario @inc0ntr0I  . People are nervous, unsure of what they should do and the incitement is playing on fears. It uses the superstition reflect we all have to weaponize recent history and make people feel like they need to urgently get ahead of the curve before they're in the same position as last time. When their behaviour results in shortages it reinforces their behaviour to them. This isn't something only lesser people "fall for", it's something everyone is susceptible to. If the behaviour means no one has access to a consumable resource, then "let them" is the wrong idea. We all suffer on that path.

  29. Vaccines aren't being rolled out in Australia yet. The TGA has until March to evaluate the Astrazeneca vaccine. So, no one is issuing vaccines in Australia. Testers are CoVID-19 clinics do change their gloves between tests. That's a standard protocol. If you see a tester not changing gloves at a test site, ask to speak with their supervisor. Not changing gloves is a serious health risk. Do not travel interstate until the pandemic is over unless it is essential travel. If you have to travel interstate, do not be surprised if something goes down while you're out of state and you either aren't allowed back in or have to quarantine (potentially at expense). Shutting the border with little to no notice is EXACTLY how you manage this kind of crisis. People need to drive safely, the onus is on them to do so. If they are locked out, that's on them for leaving the state.

  30. What is wrong with our youth that they don't understand things that happen in the USA aren't happening here and don't apply to us in Australia.

  31. You can just hear the journalists salivating in his voice at the idea of CoVID-19 making out of hotel quarantine again and sparking another few months of easy news stories. I wonder if when it inevitably makes it's way out again Dan will finally resign. Probably not, sure he's already formulating an excuse

  32. This partnership Seven has with CNN is a joke. CNN are about as trustworthy as Sky News.

  33. There are huge incentives to go hydrogen. Toyota gives you 15,000km of free fuel for example. The world is going hydrogen. People who buy battery electric are going to regret it

  34.  @teamjg277  You can not plug your battery EV directly into your consumer solar without installing an EV inverter without damaging both your solar system and your car. And knock it of with this "community" nonsense. You know some battery EV owners who don't know what they're doing (no surprises they own battery evs) and are damaging their equipment.

  35.  @theairstig9164  I already answered that question, you can buy 5 different make/models, today. Not right now though, it's almost 8 and dealers are closed. 6am tomorrow though, you can buy one. Maybe take your own advice

  36.  @theairstig9164  I'm sorry that you're ignorant. Ignorant to what is and isn't on sale, because you didn't actually check anything. Ignorant that YouTube doesn't allow external links in comments Ignorant to what one can plainly see driving around already. Ignorant to how desperate you are coming off. I'm sorry you were fooled into battery electric, but that's really on you for failing to do your due diligence.

  37.  @theairstig9164  Now you're just straight out lying. Before when you were just trying to claim you couldn't find them for sale online we could put it down to incompetence. But now you're straight out lying. They have been for sale in Australia since March. I've seen plenty of them driving around, including the one in my nextdoor neighbours driveway. You have literally no clue mate. Go be angry about your poor purchasing decisions elsewhere.

  38.  @theairstig9164  You are a fool. The freaking treasurer did a news spot with Hyundai last week promoting their hydrogen vehicles and the roll out of hydrogen. You have literally no clue what you're talking about, just stop. You're making a bigger fool of yourself with every comment

  39. Looks like Robert Durham  was spot on. It's not that one has to specifically say the words "don't get the vaccine" up front. The propaganda is enough to identify antivaxxers, and hey looks turns out you are one Barry.

  40. Which antivax website did you "look it up" @justsandra71  ? 🤣 Tell us all about your qualifications to assess "what's in it" and determine safety off of an ingredient list... 🤣🤣🤣

  41.  @barryllyod5122  lmao what data are you babbling about? This will be good

  42. So I'll take that as @justsandra71  doesn't have a qualification to assess the safety of vaccines or their ingredients Lmao. You antivaxxers really are funny.

  44.  @margesimpson9649  your DNA is altered daily by simply existing. Vaccines don't alter DNA.

  45. The worrying thing @msgjulie is that the report of him being the most hated man in Australia was merely highlighting the magistrates words. The magistrate called him that, a clear and obvious sign that he was personally effected by the incident and should have recused himself. If he hadn't have been charged with it as a crime there's no doubt in my mind he would have successfully sold the footage to 7News or 9News, who would have gleefully played it in the evening report.

  46. Interesting that this is the lead breaking story on the national scene today. I can confirm it wasn't a slow news day, so what gives? National, not local. National. Very puzzling.

  47. Sunshine coast police at their finest. Second only in QPS corruption to Gold Coast. Oh the things a new Fitzgerald enquiry style commission would uncover. All organisations which have been granted authority above that of a normal citizen have a certain amount of inevitable corruption that is completely unavoidable. That's why civil liberties are so important, it's why it matters that your average beat cop or council office worker can access all of your personal information including your live phone and internet meta data without a warrant or a supervisors permission.

  48.  Documentary Detective II  They're not going to get seriously injured or die, that's ridiculous. These cowards have nothing, that's the point. If you're scared of them, that says a lot about you. A real man doesn't ask for permission to be himself. He just is.

  49.  Documentary Detective II  They're not speeding 🤣 they're barely going 9km/h. Most people can run faster than that. My gosh, come back to reality

  50. Can we start calling what Italia did, what it actually is? Italia, with the permission of the European Commission STOLE 250,000 vaccines from Australia. France is considering doing the same. The EU should be ashamed of itself
