very true, the only comparison i can think of is the way the AFL treats Richmond.
Pragmatism of incentivizing people to do something they should do is smart. (If it works - small incentives can actuallydeincentivise people, lottery is smart as that is already a tax on stupidity, however will change a few people’s lives if they were to win so is a nice incentive vs 10000 $100 rewards). I’m all for both a carrot and a stick at work.
Railing against the fact that some people chose not to do the logical thing isn’t smart.
if I’m trying to convince someone I just refer to the risk of blood clot death is the same risk you would get as if you drove you pr car 400km. So don’t travel anywhere in a car again if you think it’s too risky to get a jab (not accounting for personal medical risks)
separately I signed up for the alert when available notification and am in the 40+ year group but haven’t been contacted but thought was now eligible. Is that right I should go get it now?
Another myth you can't back up. You really are becoming an evidence-free zone when it comes to politics.
How changing demographics delivered the inner city for the Greens
Labor's fortress is under siege from the Greens, prompting the party to ponder what has changed and whether they can ever return to supremacy in those seats again.
And look at the inner city. A sh!thole graven in their own image.

Greens want prisoners voting ban overturned to 'strengthen democracy'
*smile* criminals.
I have to say I admire your ability to pivot from one baseless generalisation to another with no shame at all.
Heh heh heh... that guy looks like one of the horses has done a dump on his face.They've arrested dozens apparently.
Lock 'em up and forget about 'em for a week.
Is this another coincidence of a lockdown finishing (or expected to finish) on the last day of SOE? June 4 this time.
Pfizer now approved for 12 and up in the states. Probably will get younger as we learn more.
I see the sense of entitlement is still as strong as ever on the right:
I will get the vaccine when I want to, I will wait until I can choose the vaccine of choice, if it doesn't affect me personally I won't do it . . .
All fine because more community minded people will get vaccinated and lower the risk for me: I am entitled to benefit from the actions of others, but also entitled to hammer those who's actions might impact upon me.
Such selfishness is part of the ideology but it still gives me the s***s.

Or claiming to care deeply about the economy when it comes to returning travellers, but when it comes to mass vaccination all care for the economy flies out the window. Bizarre.
The Member for Coal, in the Hunter. Coal Shitgibbon I think his name is.
We hated them first. That's why they hate us - we don't vote for 'em.
I don't get why you are trying to make this a right wing issue. SHY knows its a Greens issue and they are left wing. I have booked my jab and I hope everyone over 40 in Victoria will do the same.
As for entitlement thats an interesting debate. Lee's comments about dole blugers can be viewed as entitlement (people that won't work). Who are they more likely to vote for?
Sorry Brodders17 stuffed up the post and I can't delete you out of it.

I agree that it doesn't add a lot to say all vaxxers are right wing, some are, some aren't.
Who do "dole bludgers" vote for? It's such a massive generalisation, they'd vote for a range of parties as "dole bludgers" are a broad range of people. In any case the actual demographic data shows Lee was wrong - Green voters tend to be professional and well educated, not dole bludging drug addicts.
