The government has set up the Australian Digital Health Agency:
https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au
as a one-stop shop for medical records, or so they say.

     The My Health record system will collect the following information:
•    “Shared Health Summary – a clinically reviewed summary prepared by an individual’s key healthcare provider;
•    Event Summary – to capture key information about a key healthcare event relevant to ongoing care;
•    Discharge Summary – to support the transfer of a patient from a hospital back to the care of their nominated primary healthcare provider;
•    Specialist Letter – to capture key information about specialist visits;
•    eReferral – currently from GPs to specialists;
•    Prescription and Dispense Records.

     Believe it or not, a “zealous form of cultural policing” is going on in the taxpayer funded universities: The Australian, November 30, 2017. You know, the Left activists, trigger warnings, anti-intellectualism, and all of the fetid trimmings. We hear about this at least once a week as something monstrous gets created in the swampland of the universities.
But, they could have got right down to it, and described the courses offered in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, which are no more than attacks on the West and White males.

     As I have said, taxpayers should not have to pay for their abuse, for digging their own graves. Join me in advocating the closing down of the universities: we have nothing to lose but our pains.
Who wants to join me in a protest outside a university next year? We will stand united, in our wheel chairs, with our walking frames and walking sticks, our banners proudly flowing in the breeze: when do we want it? Now! Close down the universities!  It would be racist not to! Yo, yo, yo, universities have got to go! Hey, hey hey, close them down today!!!

     As expected, the present sex assault mania has spiralled into a deconstruction of even fairy tales, with Sleeping Beauty now coming in for a bashing:

    You see, it is all a rape tale, with unconsenting touching.  Ok, then all the films made about it have cashed in on rape culture too, and their profits need to go to…well, how about women raped by migrants in the West?  Whooaaaha, that went off the track fast.

     This one has really put a cat amongst the pigeons, or a dog amongst the cats: dogs have been found to have more neurons in their cerebral cortex than cats (530 million versus 250 million), and thus are “smarter”:

     Not to worry cat owners, for academic elites are already preparing numerous books and peer reviewed articles to refute this example of species racism. No doubt, the Left will hit the streets in hot protest.  In this universe, everything is equal at the bottom of the wheelie bin.

     In 1964, when I was working as an inexperienced D-grade reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald, I made the acquaintance of a newcomer named John McFlinn, who had just been appointed a courts reporter. He was a lonely and sad-looking middle-aged man for whom I soon felt sympathy, after hearing his personal story. Originally a New Zealand journalist, he had recently spent ten years, he told me, on the staff of a Southern Rhodesian newspaper, but had resigned and returned to his native land because his wife, suffering from terminal cancer, had wished to die among her relatives. After her death, he had come to Sydney to try to start a new life. It was thanks to John that I first became interested in Southern Rhodesia, which was already, a year and a half before the Unilateral Declaration of Independence that created Rhodesia, a ‘hot’ topic in our newspapers.

     I remember well having a drink somewhere with him and asking him about the emerging Rhodesia Front party and its espousal of full independence from Britain. Speaking of its then leader (I can’t recall whether this was Winston Field or Ian Smith), John told me that he had met him personally as well as watching him in his public activities. ‘He is as trustworthy a man as I have ever met,’ he said. From that time on, partly because of my Anglophile perspective, I became a supporter of the Rhodesian independence project, and began to read widely on the subject.

     Noel Pearson’s latest intemperate attack on Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull (‘Warring PMs betray recognition: Pearson’, 25-26/11) will only damage further his standing in the eyes of Australians generally.  For someone who has long advocated a sympathetic approach to Australians having Aboriginal ancestry, he shows a remarkable lack of sympathy for those of us of British ethnicity who cherish the monarchy, admire Prince Philip and enjoy watching ‘Downton Abbey’.
     Nor is it true that the Uluru Statement from the Heart’s proposals ‘won conservative support.’ They have been strongly opposed by the true conservatives: Keith Windschuttle, Frank Salter, Greg Sheridan, Gary Johns and Andrew Bolt.

     Brian, have you taken leave of your senses? No, I am referring to left handed people, of which I am one.
     A paper in biology letters, “Left-handedness and time pressure in elite interactive ball games by Florian Loffing,
Published 22 November 2017.DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2017.0446, has affirmed the long observed phenomenon, that left handed people are usually better fighters, and better in fast reaction sports, probably because of different neural wiring. As well, right handers really have difficulty dealing with lefties, while lefties live in a biased right handed world, and come to be great with both hands:

“According to the fighting hypothesis, frequency-dependent selection gives relatively rarer left-handers a competitive edge in duel-like contests and is suggested as one mechanism that ensured the stable maintenance of handedness polymorphism in humans. Over representation of left-handers exclusively in interactive sports seems to support the hypothesis. Here, by referring to data on interactive ball sports, I propose that a left-hander’s advantage is linked to the sports’ underlying time pressure. The prevalence of left-handers listed in elite rankings increased from low (8.7%) to high (30.39%) time pressure sports and a distinct left-hander over representation was only found in the latter (i.e. baseball, cricket and table tennis). This indicates that relative rarity and the interactive nature of a contest are not sufficient per se to evoke a left-hander advantage. Refining the fighting hypothesis is suggested to facilitate prediction and experimental verification of when and why negative frequency-dependent selection may benefit left-handedness.”

    No, unfortunately “throuples” is not something one orders at a restaurant and goggles down – that is truffles.  No, throuples are three people in a sexual relationship, or polyamory. Polygamy differs, it is said, and involves multiple partners in a marriage.

     There will now be a movement towards polygamy, based on the need to accommodate Muslims. In fact, it is already underway:

     We knew that there was something terrible that was going to come from the IT/communication revolution.  Humans, because of original sin, just don’t get it right, and always overdo things, even if the elites are not working away to destroy them, which, of course, they are:

“Besides smartphones being dangerous to our physical health, smartphones also have the capacity to vegetate our minds. These electronic devices give us access to the Internet, which then expose us to platforms that use up all our time and consciousness. While the Internet gives us access to vital and useful information on anything we could ever think of, it is also most likely the beginning of the end for human independence (from technology).

     This is a good article which says what I have said before, that Trump has been a fool to put his daughter Ivanka and son-in law Jared Kushner, as key advisors in the White House. On every politically correct issue you can name, these two supported the pc side, such as on gay issues and climate change.

“The liberal first daughter was believed to be a staunch supporter of the Obama-era Paris climate change agreement and fought to keep the U.S. in the job-killing deal. According to Politico, Ivanka brought Democrat climate-change peddler Al Gore into Trump Tower to talk it out with her dad and met with former Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio to get his opinion on the topic.
  Despite telling friends that she was choosing that issue to push her father on, she failed and Trump announced his intention to ditch the deal. Neither Ivanka nor Jared were present at the announcement.”

     The latest report of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (‘Attacks on Jews a threat to all society’, 27/11) needs to be taken with caution, as it has not been prepared by an impartial and objective body. For example, it may exaggerate the significance of Antipodean Resistance, which is very likely an annoying gnat rather than a dangerous tiger.
     While it goes without saying that anti-Semitic fanaticism needs to be both publicly condemned and checked by appropriate legal safeguards, Jewish groups at times engage in unwise public actions and statements which unnecessarily draw opposition to Jews generally. Responsible conservative opinion is at times defamed under coloured language such as ‘far right’ and ‘neo-Nazi’. The belated and protracted campaign against ‘Nazi war criminals’, the persecution of revisionist historians and attempts to discount the reality of formidable Jewish political and financial power in the modern world have not helped win friends.

     The old-world magnanimity of Graham Richardson is admirable (‘Religious freedom is sacrosanct’, 24/11) but not his commendation of ‘happy-clapper churches’. Large numbers in the congregations, ‘funky’ music and ‘charismatic’ service leaders do not hide the truth that this sort of religion is superficial and worldly, rather than numinous and able to help mankind to perceive and respect the mysterious beyond.
     Societies wither and become corrupt if they are not guided by brahmins, sages and saints, and it is ‘old-style religion’ that can provide the environment needed to nurture such figures. Unfortunately, insistence on erroneous theology (‘the deposit of faith’) and superstitious bibliolatry have profoundly weakened the impact on Western societies of the Christian sacred tradition. Mindless revivalism won’t right the situation.

If this is so, it is ironic that a man, who has done so much for migrants and Muslims, the Pope, should be threatened by beheading. That’s gratitude for you!

     Relevant to the immigration restriction/control issue is this news item, which ran at The Jerusalem Post:

“NETANYAHU: IT IS TIME TO DEPORT AFRICAN MIGRANTS”
 “Netanyahu was discussing an initiative announced last week by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Interior Minister Arye Deri to close Holot, an “open” detention center.

     It is time to increase the pace of deporting African migrants, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the cabinet on Sunday.
 Netanyahu said he has a three-pronged policy regarding getting migrants to leave the country, with the current focus being to encourage most of them to self-deport to a third country – which reports have identified as Rwanda.”
