Canberra protests call for end to vaccine mandates and COVID restrictions
Newstate Media February 1, 2022




Anti-vaccine mandate protesters chant 'Arrest ScoMo' outside National Press Club in Canberra

Anti-vaccination mandate protesters chased Prime Minister Scott Morrison's car as he left the National Press Club after calling for him to speak with them.

The group carrying Trump flags and chanting "No more mandates" and "Arrest ScoMo" gathered outside the building from 11am on Tuesday morning ahead of an address by the Prime Minister.

The crowd lathered into a frenzy as Mr Morrison and MPs left the Press Club. Barnaby Joyce inexplicably exited his vehicle and walked through the protesters. A member of the crowd shouted "you are killing the children" to Mr Joyce as others booed.

The group chanted "tell the truth" and drummed in rhythm after the MPs and officials left.

RE: The year of the Tiger...

China puts out an unbelievable amount of misinformation, hundreds and thousands of website proposing some how Tibet is part of China.
Tibet is occupied by China, China attacked in 1952 and again in 1962. It (China) claims Tibet has always been part of China is utter rubbish. Tibet had never been part of China, Mongolia occupied both China and Tibet yes, but Tibet was never part of China. Saying Tibet is part of China because Mongolia occupied both China implies Hungary and Israel were also part of China. Which of course is utter rubbish, likewise the Chinese claim that Tibet is part of China is false, as Mongolia occupied them to so you can see its a lie.

Please be aware there are thousands of website masquerading as offering Tibetan information when they are not.
Anyone wanting trusted source for information could check out Foundation for Preservation of Mahayana Tradition website,
and or: Dalai Lama site
Karmapa Lama is the head of the Karma Kagyu, the largest sub-school of the Kagyu, itself one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Karmapa was Tibet's first consciously incarnating lama. The historical seat of the Karmapas is Tsurphu Monastery in the Tolung valley of Tibet. Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, is the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu lineage, a Buddhist school in Tibet that is around 900 years old. site address:
Be aware there is a person on this site who is known to most of you. He studies other teachings not the teachings of His Holiness Dalai Lama or His Holiness Karmapa Lama schools of thought.

Tibetan New Year dates can be similar to there next door neighbor China, but different.
Tibetan New Year "Losar " 2022 will begin on Thursday, 3 March and ends on Saturday, 5 March
Losar The Tibetan New Year is celebrated mostly in India, Nepal, Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. It will be celebrated between 03 March 2022.
Losar is the Tibetan New Year. Traditionally, Tibetans mark Losar by joining together to acknowledge the passing of any negative karma in the previous year, and to set a strong positive motivation for the year ahead. It’s also a social time of appreciating the strong karmic bonds that connect us with those around us and celebrating the opportunities we have to create positive potential together. Traditionally Tibetans create auspiciousness at this time by changing their old prayer flags for new and making offerings to invite generosity and abundance into their lives in the year ahead.
I hope chatillio your happy to accept this explanation because the Tibetan lunar calendar, is a lunisolar calendar, that is, the Tibetan year is composed of either 12 or 13 lunar months, each beginning and ending with a new moon. A thirteenth month is added every two or three years, so that an average Tibetan year is equal to the solar year.
and is not Chinese

Happiness is of course within.
Sometimes we are not really honest with ourselves, (just little white lie here ant there not big ones ) and when truth rushes forward, perhaps little white lies we didn't admit I'm lonely, perhaps even little bit frightened because I am of course alone, even at birth time, I was actually alone nobody could read my mind so I cried and at death time I'll ll be alone to.
Oh but I believe this or that the little white lie

RE: Not again!

The Plastic might have something to do with:

The "preserved tree system" and "preserved forest system" aim to preserve trees and forests in cities in Japan, and are operated by local governments.

OVERVIEW OF PRESERVED TREE SYSTEMS

Several local governments (Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture) included hedges in the target. The testimony of local government officials was also obtained: "The preserved tree system is less restrictive than other systems, such as the green conservation areas 7" As nearly 90% of designated cases (trees: 61,855, forests: 8,002) were based on the ordinances of each local government (MLIT, 2017), local governments were given a certain amount of discretion.

Several local governments specify conditions, such as "trees that have been popular as symbolic trees in the town" (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture), as requirements for designation. While the preserved tree system mainly targets greening and green preservation, the designation of trees with historical and cultural value is also made at the discretion of local governments.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.

RE: cabin fever

of course we are all pleased to know that Microsoft (Windows 10 HP Laptop) decided we all needed a changed type of Bios format, as Microsoft requires the HDD drive formatted to GPT NTFS type format because :
"The maximum hard drive size of MBR is 2 TB. As such, if you have a 3 TB hard drive and you use MBR, only 2 TB of your 3 TB hard drive will be accessible. To remedy this, the GPT format was introduced." !

RE: How much money in U$ dollars will I need per month to live comfortably in your country?

what you guys call property tax in Australia they are called Council rates, covers cabbage council levies, some council also charge a water rate, and a ambulance levy. Nothing like the extent your getting ripped off by any means. People pay tax when they purchase a property otherwise (EOE)

The median price for a house in Australia has reached a record high of almost $1 million, according to a new report. Domain's House Price Report revealed the national median house price is now $994,579, having risen by 3.5 per cent over the September quarter. The national median price for units also rose to $609.642.28 Oct 2021

Council rates represent less than 4% of the total taxes paid by Australians, the cost for those living within the City of Sydney Council (rates) is $708.40. annually, and a South Australian households are paying on average around $29 per week in council rates.

RE: How much money in U$ dollars will I need per month to live comfortably in your country?

Americans get slugged US taxes on income wherever the live by your USA government, its the only country that I know of that steals from its citizens in that way.

RE: Climate change is a joke, nothing will change everyone knows the problem is China and India, COAL!

Canada is now the largest single source of U.S. total petroleum and crude oil imports. In 2020, Canada was the source of 52% of U.S. total gross petroleum imports and 61% of gross crude oil imports

In Canada, more than 200,000 wells have been horizontally fracked for shale gas or oil, primarily in the western provinces. It is now estimated that 80 per cent of new oil and gas wells in Canada are fracked

Canada generates more than 35 times the EU average of hazardous waste per capita, with almost all of it coming from the oil shale sector. Ash and other waste from combusting and refining ends up in landfill, polluting the air with toxic substances.

Canada produces an estimated 3.3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, according to a 2019 study produced by Deloitte and Cheminfo Services Inc. for Environment and Climate Change Canada. Puckett estimates Canada exports about 1,000 metric tonnes of plastic waste per month to developing countries.

Canada is the second largest producer and fourth exporter of uranium in the world, with 13% of global production in 2019. Nuclear power generation accounted for approximately 15% of Canada's electricity in 2018. ... In 2019, 75% of Canada's uranium production was exported for use in nuclear power throughout the world
