 by Ganesh Sahathevan                                               Despite official and unofficial booster mandates, that have come over and above vaccine mandates from their major customers, the governments of primarily developed countries with plenty of capacity to pay for their products, the share price and market capitalisation of the main vaccine producers have all collapsed. Vaccitech which formulated  the AstraZeneca vaccine is now trading at almost half its IPO price of USD 17, which it only got to briefly after the IPO. BoiNTech which formulated and  produces the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has seen its share price collapse to approximately USD 1500, after getting to a high of just above USD 400, in under 12 months, despite a slew of good news.  Moderna and Novavax have also seen their share price and market capitalisation fall off a clif...

 by Ganesh Sahathevan  “Vaccines wane,” Tony Blakely, a University of Melbourne epidemiologis said. “The increase in NSW is entirely expected even before you consider Omicron. Omicron didn’t start this kick-up, but it’s going to fan it, and numbers will go up even faster.” In the recent vaccine mandate case of Kassam v Hazzard Beech-Jones J of the NSW Supreme Court held that NSW Minister for Health Brad Hazard had every right to be an "advocate for vaccination" for the Minister can be expected to be a "policy advocate". Since that decision was handed down in October 2021 93.6% of NSW's 16 and over population have been double or fully vaccinated. Herd immunity should have been achieved, but it has not. COVID infection in NSW has reached a record of over 20,000 per day, a record that is more than 15 times the previous high. The COVID vaccines have clearly failed in what they were meant to do, for they are meant to prevent infection. A BioNTech/Pfizer funded stud...

Ms Burns is probably best  remembered for her handling of the Lindt Cafe siege. Her approach was to negotiate, in a manner described by former NSW Police hostage negotiator, Belinda Neal: We here in New South Wales and overseas, negotiation, we contain and negotiate. So contain the situation, nobody can get in or out, and then look at negotiating. Where about a peaceful resolution and in this situations we had 16 hours where we had a peaceful resolution before obviously the tragic consequences. She was also responsible for excluding the Australian Army's Tactical Assault Group East from the operation, despite TAG E's superior training, and training for an incident in ...

 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the case of a hung parliament in NSW, Governor Margaret  Beazley of NSW will decide who takes charge of government but Bealzley can no longer be seen to be an impartial umpire. With three by-elections on the horizon and the possibility of a general election the prospect of a hung parliament is not remote. Meanwhile, it is clear that Governor Beazley's tenure as governor is dependant on Premier Dominic Perrotet's decision  to not pursue the complaints of bullying against Beazley.   TO BE READ WITH  Richard Butler resigned, Margaret Beazley remains governor- both accused of bullying so why the difference in punishment November 15, 2021  by Ganesh Sahathevan  It is difficult to see why these two incidents led to different outcomes, and why Margaret Beazley remains Governor of NSW.

 by Ganesh Sahathevan  It is difficult to see why these two incidents led to different outcomes, and why Margaret Beazley remains Governor of NSW. The allegations against Richard Butler, then Governor Of Tasmania, which led to his resignation in 2004:  Mr Butler's outspoken comments and air of entitlement have made waves in Tasmania since the avowed republican surprised many by agreeing to take on the role. His secretary, senior adviser and aide-de-camp, who quit on Friday, are believed to have lost patience after fielding complaints from members of the public about the perceived arrogance of Mr Butler and his wife Jennifer. The Sunday Tasmanian reported at the weekend that the couple had threatened to report a policeman to the deputy police commissioner for refusing them the keys to an unmarked squad car they wanted to drive to look at a house. Mr Butler is known for showing limited patience for the more tedious duties associated with the £150,000-a-year post. He upset p...

 by Ganesh Sahathevan   Premier Dominic Perrotet, the former Treasurer The Daily Telegraph has reported this morning that travellers still owe $ 110 Million in quarantine fees. NSW Finance Minister Damien Tudehope is quoted saying : “It is only fair to the rest of the taxpayers in NSW that people in hotel quarantine pay their fees due,” he said. “Don’t put the invoice aside for another day, contact us about making a payment, entering into a payment plan, an extension to pay or other hardship measures that may be available. “Revenue NSW has a range of options when it comes to resolving these invoices. Get in touch today and get on top of it.” Meanwhile Tudehope and his fellow NSW ministers responsible for the quarantine fee, Brad Hazzard,Dominic Dominello and the former treasurer, now Premier Dom Perrotet, are still stonewalling requests from this writer for an itemised invoice for quarantine fees, and continue to demand payment of the invoice as if it is a penalty impos...

 by Ganesh Sahathevan Dr Omar Korshid, President AMA   Australian will be familiar with the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and its president Dr Omar Khorshid. If not, they will be each time they reach for their Medicare cards, for the AMA and Korshid are demanding that its use be limited. The AMA and its president want everyone vaccinated and are demanding that the unvaccinated  be excluded from Medicare funded health services.   This was not the case in August 2020, when AMA and Khorshid warned the government about the danger of rushed vaccine trials:  Australian Medical Association president Omar Korshid said even positive phase three trials would not prove the vaccine candidate is safe. 'We have to acknowledge it is a rushed approval process and even if the phase three trials on this Oxford vaccine go really well, it's still not absolutely proven that it is safe, not as proven as is normally the case,' he told The Age newspaper. 'That d...
