There is no "rising unemployment" in Australia, with whines about no workers, but the half-witted politicians will bring it back when they recommence mass immigration at the behest of Big Business.

But Covid was certainly mismanaged; climate hysteria is absurd, and we can no longer be sure that we will ever again have reliable energy. Then there's the race-based Voice crap, the threat of digital social credit (surveillance) and no more cash (more surveillance). There is also the chance of dying while waiting for an ambulance.

And, voting will not make any difference.

I can agree with most of this save the comment on natural immunity. Natural immunity may save the infected individual but not necessarily those he or she infects! One notes that the Spanish COVID-19 pandemic and horrific death toll was started by one single Asymptomatic Chinese Tourist with natural immunity!

Apart from that Murray your other points are well made! What you haven't done is provide any credible solution to any of the issues raised! And for mine that turns your essay into, just another bitch by some privileged tugger?

Energy? How about MSR thorium? Thorium delivers everything fusion promised but never ever delivered and may never ever be able to!?

See, LFTR in five minutes.

With thorium universally adopted, Putin's war will fail and all but destroy the Russian fossil fuel dependent economy! And her military adventures!

Don't just do something, stand there! The condemnations and wind bag yackety, yack, blah, blah, blah isn't working.

Ending all western reliance on Russian energy or the very real threat of same, i.e., MSR thorium, just might? And folk with influence, like Murray, might succeed where others (a voice in the wilderness) cannot!

On the rumoured attack on cash, delightedly trumpeted regularly by the media, cash is the only means by which citizens retain some level of independence from totalitarianism. It represents the security of the free market as the solution to government wickedness.

Europeans, jaded by the behaviour of their governments in the past, are resisting the attack on cash. There has been a resurgence in cash across the European Union. Australians need to prepare themselves. Use cash!

Alan,

Here is real idiocy, real madness.

"Natural immunity may save the infected individual but not necessarily those he or she infects!"

How does someone, who has gained natural immunity, infect those who presumably have had all
their 'shots'?

Surely the damned criminal unvaccinated b...d's can only infect those who haven't had their
shots or who have not yet gained natural immunity. That's much less than 5% of adult
Australians.

Oh, the shots do not work ... ahhhhh ok yeah of course.

Now tell ne how do we deal with the criminally idiotic vaccinated who infect others? So since
vaccination won't save the vaccinated it sure as hell won't save those they infect either.
Presumably the vaccinated 95% of adult Australians.

Now I'm walking off to my yacht, shaking my head, understanding why I abandoned the option of
residency among all the idiocy of you 'educated', on solid land. Hang on, you're all residents of Trump's swamp.

While governments can give us hell, no government can fail you - unless you have any expectations of them!

For example: do Ukrainians claim that Russia has failed them?
