Saturday Sanity Check
Ever feel like the whole world's gone quite mad?
IT’S official. The Australian Public Service does not know what a woman is.
At a Senate Estimates hearing in April, Senator Alex Antic asked Health Secretary Dr Brendon Murphy to define a woman.
Dr Murphy replied that the definition of woman was “a highly contested space” and that he would need to get advice from his department.
Four months later, the Department has come back with this response to the simple question “What is a woman?” …
“Gender refers to current gender, which may be different to sex recorded at birth and may be different to what is included on legal documents.
“The frameworks adopted to define a person’s gender include chromosomal makeup, the gender assigned at birth, and the gender with which a person identifies.
“The Department of Health does not adopt a single definition. Health policies and access to health programs are based on clinical evidence and clinical need for all Australians, regardless of gender identity, biological characteristics, or genetic variations."
So, that clears that up.
FACEBOOK censored an Australian women’s group last month for daring to assert that men cannot give birth.
A screenshot of a Twitter post by Sall Grover was reposted on Faceboook by the Women’s Forum Australia on July 22.
It said:
“Exactly zero men have ever given birth in any year, in any country.”
A few days later the post was removed by Facebook and the women’s forum received an alert saying …
“Your page is at risk of being unpublished and has reduced distribution and other restrictions due to continued Community Standards violations”.
When the group appealed, arguing that they had merely stated a biological truth, Facebook said the ban would not be reviewed or reversed.
When Women’s Forum Australia went public about what Facebook had done, Facebook suddenly reversed the ban, saying it had been an administrative “mistake”.
Right.
Kind of like Medicare recording 54 men giving birth to children in 2014-15.
SPEAKING of censorship, check out what The Australian newspaper’s Washington correspondent Adam Creighton is careful to do when reporting a news story about Covid vaccines …
Spelling the word “mistake” when tweeting about the vaccine is just too risky for a journalist. So he tricks the automated censors by writing “m*st*ke”.
Note the context. He is not giving an opinion. He is merely reporting the news. But even reporting the news is now a perilous undertaking.
Anyone who believes we have freedom of speech has not been paying attention.
AND this is why censorship is so dangerous.
Remember when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said her government would be “your single source of truth” and that “unless you hear it from us, it’s not the truth”?
Well she also said this …
In the four weeks to July 30th, according to NSW Health data, 547 people died from or with Covid. 70% were fully vaccinated as well as boosted once or twice. 17% had received one or two shots. 11% were unvaccinated and 2% "unknown".
AS political advertisements go, this is a good one. Trump released it on August 9
THE British Government is planning organised blackouts in January to cope with an expected power shortfall.
Bloomberg reported this week that cold weather combined with gas shortages meant the government was prepared to stage blackouts for industry, and even for households.
Politicians insist there is no future in fossil fuels, and enact policies to ensure there is no future in fossil fuels. Then, when energy prices skyrocket and there is not enough to go around in winter, politicians cry foul!
It was all entirely predictable. And one could be forgiven for starting to wonder if it is all entirely planned.
First came the Covid lockdowns. Now come the economic lockdowns?
First Brits were told to clap their pots and pans on Thursdays to support the NHS. Now Brits will be told to light their candles on Wednesdays to keep warm.
Imagine if I told you in the 90s that just 30 years hence you’d wish you had invested in firewood!
The 2020s may well be known by future generations as the Decade of Organised Chaos.
GENDER fairies around the world should be worried.
First the UK government closed down the Tavistock gender clinic after a report warned of potentially serious side-effects of 'puberty-blocker' drugs.
And now - as many have been predicting for years - around 1000 families are lining up to take legal action, alleging the clinic rushed their children into taking life-altering puberty blockers.
The clinic has been slammed for adopting an “unquestioning, affirmative approach” to children identifying as transgender.
Dr Hilary Cass told NHS England there was no way of knowing if the medication 'disrupted' the process of children deciding on their gender identity, rather than 'buying time' for them, as families had been assured.
She also raised concerns that the drugs could have interrupted the process of the brain maturing, affecting children's ability to exercise judgment.
Staff at the Tavistock apparently used to joke that soon “there would be no gay people left”.
It turns out that trying to “fix” gay and gender non-conforming kids isn’t all that funny after all. And it might end up costing the NHS billions of dollars.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Stand by for a wave of lawsuits like this over the next 20 years as kids grow up and realize they were mutilated as minors.
Meanwhile, in Queensland, Victoria and the ACT it is a criminal offence to refuse to take a gender confused child to a gender clinic.
I saw this story in the Melbourne Age and could only wonder … why don’t they just go the whole hog and make it all year round?
You have to love the Victorian Government. Australia Day is too divisive, but everyone will be on board with two months of homosexuals mincing around shoving their sexuality in everyone’s faces!
How does that old joke go …
What’s the difference between a Tolerance Burger and a normal burger?
Nothing. They’re exactly the same. Except that a Tolerance Burger comes with three social justice warriors to shove it down your throat.
The State Government intend to take city Pride events to regional Victoria. Not all homosexuals are happy about it.
These two responses to the Melbourne Age story were instructive …
‘Gobsmacked! I have two gay couples as friends; they just want to live their lives in peace, but they're not getting the chance to do this because of the negative actions stirred up by these activities.’
and this …
‘As a gay man who lives happily in country Victoria I am not keen for the city gays to bring their particular brand of Gay Pride to my neighbourhood. I have lived in the city (Sydney, London, NY, Melbourne) and while that scene was all very well at the time it does not reflect how I live now. So good luck, and please don't embarrass me because when you head back to St Kilda and Collingwood I still have to live here.’
Pride events are not about empowering people. The are about imposing a new civic religion.
IT’S almost like the last two years never happened!
The CDC and the American Government, much like our own, sanctioned some of the worst discrimination imaginable, aimed at the unvaccinated.
And now they seek to walk it back like it never happened.
After two years of demonising those who didn’t want to be vaccinated, keeping kids from school, separating loved ones and imprisoning perfectly healthy people in their own homes the CDC now say … “Feeling sick? Stay home. Wear a mask if you want.”
Never forget what they did.
On that note, I’m off to enjoy my maskless, non-socially distanced, totally un-boosted weekend. Wish me luck.

Can’t wait for your email each day 🤙 Loved your wicked sense of humour from the first time I saw you on Pat Mesiti. Thanks for bringing some sense into this ridiculous situation 🤗🤗🤗
You always bring the insanity into the light. I love reading your emails. The last two years have done nothing but destroy our world. Watching that clip of Donald Trump made me want to cry. It has happened so fast we can hardly keep up. My grandchildren and great grandchildren have to live in this insane world and the little ones won't know the difference. All I can say is God help us!
