Great article as to how all that health advice that was used to lock us down has suddenly disappeared.

“Those fortunate few who, in spite of the best efforts of most mass media to destroy their intellects, might recall that a few years ago we went through something called Covid-19.

Civil liberties were trashed, there were draconian lockdown proclamations, government by imperial decree, borders arbitrarily closed, livelihoods destroyed and untold emotional distress inflicted on innocent citizens - surely you must remember.

At least 3561 Queenslanders remember, which is the number of people who recently petitioned state parliament to release the advice chief health officer by Dr John Gerrard and his predecessor Dr Jeannette Young, she of the pearl necklace, provided to then premier Annastacia Palaszczuk that led to the vaccination mandates and movement restrictions.

The petition called on the parliament to direct Premier Steven Miles to release “medical advice used to enforce the Covid-19 mandates that would discriminate people on the basis of their Covid-19 vaccination status, isolate our most vulnerable from their families and force Queenslanders to have Covid-19 vaccinations that appear to have increasingly alarming safety and efficacy statistics".

This is advice that the premier repeatedly declared, hand on heart, was that upon which she based decisions such as forcing Queensland residents to live in their cars on the Tweed Heads side of the NSW border, refusing permission for grieving families to visit dying relatives and declaring Queensland hospitals were only for Queenslanders. Ah, those were the days!

Given the lengthy time frame over which these restrictions were imposed and the countless media briefings attended by the premier and a sombre faced Dr Young declaring variously that she was "worried," “very worried" or on one memorable occasion which set this columnist's heart aflutter, "very, very worried", you might reasonably think that there would be a mountain of material lying about which related to the advice given to the government.

Apparently not, for according to Health Minister Shannon Fentiman, no such documentation exists.

Really?

"Queensland's chief health officer issued public health directions to manage the spread of Covid-19 throughout the community, including requirements for Covid-19 vaccination. In making these public health directions the chief health officer relied on advice from a variety of sources.

"Specifically, the chief health officer met daily with doctors, epidemiologists, infectious diseases specialists and public health experts about Covid-19 and the extraordinary and emergency measures necessary to protect public health," she said.

In spite of all these meetings and advice from all these experts, it seems that nobody ever thought to write anything down. How extraordinary.

How wonderful it must be to be blessed with a memory that does not require you to keep a record of the input which was received, according to Minister Fentiman, from "a variety of sources".

You might also think that sitting up there in vice-regal splendour at 168 Fernberg Rd, Paddington, Dr Young, richly rewarded by the premier for her tireless efforts with the governorship of our fair state, might be able to produce a record of her frank and fearless advice. Alas, not a squeak so far from the big white house on the hill.

You might also wonder why, if the government was only following the medical advice which seems to have magically disappeared, it felt the need to spend $500,000 on polling to assess how its actions were affecting its popularity and whether rather than acting on medical advice, Palaszczuk's actions were driven purely and simply by political considerations with scant regard for the cost in human suffering.

The truth is out there somewhere, but will it ever surface?”

“Aboriginal corporations have moved to claim freehold ownership of public land in 15 townships across Queensland - but the state government is refusing to say where.

The figure has been revealed by the Department of Resources in a question on notice in state parliament.

However, the department won't say what townships are involved, citing "privacy" of First Nations groups which have lodged expressions of interest to have land transferred to them.

The proposed "land transfers", separate to native title, are made under the Aboriginal Land Act or Torres Strait Islander Land Act, which allow state land to be transferred to First Nations corporations as "inalienable freehold".

More than six million hectares of state land - which can't be sold or mortgaged but is held in trust for the benefit of traditional owners - has so far been granted to Aborigines across Queensland.

Private freehold property can't be transferred
- only unallocated state land, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander reserves and national parks on Cape York and Moreton Island.”

Aboriginal land claims need to end. Full stop.

Australia belongs to all of us, not just some of us.

40 years ago they told us an ice age was imminent. Now they tell us that the global warming is an existential threat to humanity. Which is it? Neither.

Supporters of the supposed 'human-induced climate change' hoax, like Al Gore and John Kerry, famously predicted the disappearance of polar ice caps by 2014. Clearly, they were mistaken.

How many failed predictions will it take before people recognize that 'human-induced climate change' is a massive deception?

A deception designed to empower unelected globalist entities such as the United Nations and World Economic Forum, allowing them unprecedented control over our lives—all in the name of 'saving the planet.'

The so-called 'climate emergency' is a fabrication, and always has been.

Research shows human-induced climate change is intensifying extreme weather.

It looks as though H5N1, also known as "bird flu," might just be the next "pandemic" the globalists are planning to unleash – thanks, in part, to a $9.5 million grant the Gates Foundation awarded to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to make H5N1 transmissible to humans and other mammals.

Bird flu is Disease X, which GAVI says will lead to food insecurity and be a driver of panic during election cycles.

There is no guarantee that a person-to-person virus would be benign, scientists say, and vaccines and treatments at hand may not be sufficient.

For people to live together in peace and prosperity, everyone must share a reverence for liberty and a loathing of injustice. Culture stems from these core principles. If your culture contradicts these values, it needs to evolve if you wish to live in Australia.

Multiculturalism doesn’t work. It is a failed experiment that has served only to dilute what is great about Western culture and fracture social cohesion. To say this is not to attack migrants.
