In this episode I go over why the recent comments by Tim Pallas should be considered way off base.  I use some recent media to highlight that Chinese Government has brought a lot of harm to the world.  

Some links to that media -

So is Tim being a Cuck over China? Would love to know what you think!

In this deep dive I ask the question, has the World Health Organisation, and the politicis it plays, put all of us at risk. The WHO advised against trade and travel restrictions against China amid the coronavirus outbreak, and at times downplayed the seriousness of the virus.  

I go over a few articles to go over the case:

AND the absolute must watch video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQFCcSI0pU  

Even the Australian touched on the dodgy numbers coming out of China, https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/china-hides-one-third-of-120000-confirmed-coronavirus-cases/news-story/edeb5ed9a3ef474ef1af8917856f27bf  

China has under-reported its confirmed COVID-19 cases by one third,  “More than 43,000 people in China had tested positive for COVID-19 by the end of February but had no immediate symptoms, a condition typically known as ¬asymptomatic,” the newspaper ¬reported, citing classified Chinese government data.  As well as massively increasing China’s confirmed case numbers from its declared 81,600 to well over 120,000 — twice the amount in Italy — the revelation undermines claims by the World Health Organisation that have downplayed the proportion of COVID-19 cases without visible symptoms.   

The WHO — which despite sending an “investigative team” to China in February for a fortnight was apparently unaware of the country’s huge asymptomatic caseload — has also said that ¬infections by silent carriers were “relatively rare”.  That has been called into question by epidemiologists around the world who are increasingly concerned about how silent carriers might be spreading the highly infectious coronavirus, which has been found in more than 380,000 cases globally — not including the 43,000 cases, or more than 10 per cent of the international total, reportedly left off China’s official tally.  

The fact that the WHO just swallowed this up, blocked Taiwan, and was critical of early containment efforts, has to raise serious questions about their role and funding.

In this rather challenging deep dive, I go over the early days of the outbreak now engulfing the world. Specifically I cover how CCP authorities ignored their own people, such as Dr Li, who tried warning medical bodies of a SARS like virus emerging in Wuhan.  

The director of the emergency at Wuhan Central hospital, Ai Fen, was quoted in The Guardian, 11 March 2020, saying “If I had known what was to happen, I would not have cared about the reprimand. I would have ###### talked about it to whoever, where ever I could.”

In tonight's deep dive, I go over Covid 19,  the #coronavirus inflicting so much pain on the world right now, which first emerged in #Wuhan, #China.  

Per WHO: Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:  

Wash your hands frequently Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.  

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.  

Maintain social distancing Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.  (Note in #Australia the recommendation is 1.5 meters per the government).

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.  

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth 

Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.  

Practice respiratory hygiene Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.  

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.  

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.  

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.  

Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.  

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.

With guests former state politician Andrew Esbury and Boston news correspondent Lisa Heinrichs, we go over the toxic soil and revelations from The Age. With some key take aways from the No Toxic Soil rally, there is a tonne of information in tonight's show (despite the camera malfunction on Lisa).

PFAS is a group of potentially carcinogenic chemicals now considered so hazardous that its prolonged use ultimately shut down the CFA Fiskville training college.

Soil samples in some areas to be excavated for the $6.7 billion projects has shown PFAS levels at between 112 and 2000 times the acceptable amount in drinking water.

Community members fear the PFAS-contaminated soil could leach into the surrounding soil and water if it was dumped at the MBC landfill site."

Tonight's deep dive goes into the PFAS toxic soil issue once again, as it seems the office of Tim Pallas is pushing material out on the tunnel project.

Tonight I read Labors own words on PFAS, as presented by Ms Ward, the member for Eltham, in October 2017.   

In tonights episode, James Hohepa Smith and I discuss the toxic soil proposed for Wyndham Vale and Bacchus Marsh (right next to one of Victoria's major food bowls).  We go over the contamination risks as identified by the USA EPA, the harm that can happen and who should be worried.  

And I have to ask, why would Labor poison Melbourne's food, why would they dump a toxic mess in their heartland?  

Especially when you read quotes like this, "The class of chemicals, called PFAS, are in non-stick pans, water-resistant clothes, food packaging and firefighting foam. Nicknamed “forever chemicals”, they do not break down in the environment and accumulate in the human body. Numerous studies link PFAS exposure with cancer, thyroid problems and developmental issues in children."

The Planning Scheme Amendment Process (from Moorabool Shire Council)  

The owners of the site propose to request the Minister for Planning to intervene, to prepare an amendment to the Moorabool Planning Scheme under section 20(4) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. Section 20(4) refers to the ability of the Minister for Planning to amend the Planning Scheme without consultation. It is however discretionary on the Minister as to whether consultation occurs and to what extent.  

 Any person can request Ministerial intervention to prepare an amendment to a planning scheme. The planning practice note ‘Ministerial Powers of Intervention in Planning and Heritage Matters (2004)’ provides criteria that is considered by the Minister in making a decision on whether to intervene.  

The process for requesting Ministerial intervention can be summarised as follows:  

1. The applicant will request the Minister’s intervention. 

2. Minister considers the request in accordance with the following criteria: 

- The matter will be one of genuine State or regional significance. 

- The matter will give effect to an outcome where the issues have been reasonably considered and the views of affected parties are known. 

- The matter will be the introduction of an interim provision or requirement and substantially the same provision or requirement is also subject to a separate process of review (such as the introduction of permanent controls in a planning scheme). 

- The matter will raise issues of fairness or public interest.

- The matter requires co-ordination to facilitate decision

-making by more than one agency.  

If the Minister decides to intervene, there is no requirement for public notification under the Planning and Environment Act 1987.  There is also no requirement for consultation with Council.

In this deep dive, I go over some serious issues with the West Gate Tunnel, which  is supposed to open 2022. From soil contamination, air pollution, 7000 additional trucks in the community, and the actual structure itself, there are plenty of matters to worry about.
