Lisa Wilkinson advocating for Covid rules divorced from reality

Channel 10’s Minister for Health spent the weekend penning her latest doomer manifesto. Why does she wish to stay under the Covid doona? James Morrow asks.



Those doonas must be pretty snugly in Balmoral. Otherwise, why else would Lisa Wilkinson wish to stay under one?

Not content to act like a normal Sydneysider and enjoy the weekend’s respite from La Nina or head off to a Hottest 100 barbecue, Channel 10’s Minister for Health instead spent the weekend penning her latest doomer manifesto.

Australia’s Covid situation, Wilkinson said Sunday night to an audience of 38 viewers and 147 cats, was a “bin fire”.



Well, quite simply because Australians are getting on with life in the face of an omicron outbreak that is wildly contagious but for the vast majority of people rapidly heading towards “just the flu” territory.

How much better would it be, said Wilkinson, if we were like New Zealand where under new rules announced to cope with a virus so deadly people often don’t experience any symptoms at all, household close contacts may have to spend 24 days under house arrest.

Bin fire, by the way, is a favourite Lisa-ism.

Back in March, she called Prime Minister Scott Morrison a “bin fire”.

In August, she called then-Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s leadership a “bin fire”.



You would think that sharing a house with serially published author of bonza you-beaut Aussie legends Peter FitzSimons, she might have tripped over a thesaurus from time to time.

But while the pandemic has been tough on all of us, leading even the most sober commentators to occasionally overreact, Wilkinson certainly has form.

Which does lead one to wonder why so many news outlets seem keen to repeat her gloomy sermonettes as anything other than a cry for help. With her show The Project’s ratings in the toilet, certainly most Australians aren’t listening to her.



Remember her regular diatribes last year against then-Premier Gladys Berejiklian?

“Gladys Berejiklian makes no restrictions … people wanted a hard lockdown!”, she demanded last August, presumably wishing for a Dan Andrews-style ring of steel, curfew, and spirit-breaking policing of playgrounds and takeaway coffee cups.

In one she slammed Berejiklian for instituting a “soft lockdown”.



In another she said Berejiklian should “step aside” if case numbers did not come down.

It’s worth noting that Wilkinson never once called for Labor’s Dan Andrews to resign during Victoria’s many crises, but that’s another story.



Instead, she apologised to Victoria for their lockdown, saying it was a direct result of Sydney’s failure to lockdown quickly.

The fact is, the lockdowns and curfews she advocated increasingly look divorced from reality. Melbourne had six of them, spent longer under restriction than just about any other city in the world, and came out worst in Australia.

Go figure.



More than that they would have landed hardest on people at the opposite end of the income scale from the $1.7 million a year Wilkinson.



Imagine being the new migrant forced to pack the micro-herbs in a Delta-struck warehouse to be shipped out to Wilkinson’s local gourmet shop – an essential service, don’t you know – and then return at the end of your shift to a crowded apartment with no backyard?



Talk about a bin fire.

Whenever I accidentally flick on that channel, it’s like shit everyone shoosh, I gotta concentrate to change this channel, don’t distract me. If I drop remote I’m in big trouble, too much air time

 

[Doogie]

Not to mention it’s as fake as wrestling.

I was once working with a Channel 7 newsreader who most people would know. We were recording promos for ‘Tonight on 7 News’ to be played on radio.
Anyway, one day an old lady in Redfern had died - some druggo had broken into her house and I don’t remember the details but she died.

So running through the script, the newsreader says (off air) ‘Old bird knocked off courtesy of drug fucked weirdo’. When we recorded, the voice of sincerity kicked in and suddenly the story was ‘Outrage as defenceless pensioner dies at the hands of heartless criminal’. News can be spun any number of ways…

Lol - if its any consolation pissed off Sarah Harris to the max when she was a reporter once.

Story went lived across the road from a pre-school in a primary school and it was next to the park where I walked the dogs. Cleaners came in for pre-school cleanup after Xmas and found a cubby house in there caked with human blood. Police investigation etc. and that was the news story (turned out it was a stitch up but that took months to work out).

Anyways, I'm doing some postgrad, studying at home and thought I'd take the dogs for a walk. Get to the park and she's setting up to do a news cross. Tell one of the collies, go over and check her out, which he did. They're shooing the dog away and I called him back. Comes back and I send him over again. Again call him back. Third time, send him over and they start yelling at me. I walk over and said whats your fckng problem. Keep your dog away from me blah blah. Said, well I'm a local, don't give a fck what you're trying to do and you're scaring my dog. Ms. Harris has a full on rant about how they're doing important work blah blah and I said, what about the blood in the cubby, probably a junkie, who cares, find something else to do.

Well, she loses her shit big time. Mr cameraman puts the camera down and starts trying to get in my face. Told him simply, yep, your bigger than me but I'm a houso kid, you think you got a chance. Next thing I'm being threatened with the cops, said yep, call em and we'll see how that goes. They do.

So the cops turn up, and I went to school with one of them and the other is a friend of his. Get interviewed and said to cops, they're fckng vultures bro and I just annoyed them with the dog, next thing I'm copping shit and old mate starts to chest up. How about we go with the 'they attacked my dog' line and the cameraman threatened me when I took offence. My mate said cool. Next thing they pull us all together and the boys said to me, do you want to press charges. I said not if I get a genuine apology, Mr. Snooky (not the real name of my dog ffs) looks very upset (of course the dog is wagging his tale and nearly gave it away). Ms. Harris says to the cameraman, you better apologise to both him and Mr. Snooky so the cameraman turns to my dog and pats him saying, I'm really sorry Mr. Snooky. Swear the other cop is is losing his shit trying not to fckng laugh.

Anyways, cops say can you keep the dogs away from them, they're trying to do their job. Said, yep, no worries. And at that point, God looked down on me and said, let it rain. And it pissed down and ruined Ms. Harris's hair and soaked her through b4 they could get to the car for umbrellas. I do also believe my other collie pissed on the camera when he put it down - but cannot confirm that. Caught up with my copper mate that night at the pub - fck we laughed for hours. Reckon Mr. Snooky became the buzz term at the pub for someone that was being arced up on for 6 months. Go apologise to Mr. Snooky - still chuckling....

TV journos. They think they're doing something worthwhile. They're not. And investigative journos are basically dead. That is all.

Fabulous. I’ve never met Sarah but know some industry people who know her and she doesn’t have the greatest rep so that all stacks up .

 

[DinkumDog]

Side note screwdriver head of security nicky crane made gay porn slept with dudes and black dudes by night committed racial attacks and bashed gays by day.
He died of the aids

Similar story to that movie ‘Boy Interrupted’ which was based on a true story of those places in America where they’d ‘pray the gay away’ - Mike Pence country. The head of the ‘prayer’ school, who got quite aggressive with non-compliant students ended up getting sacked and moving to another state - with his husband .

Any truth to the newest China flu cure, B12 injections?

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Any truth to the newest China flu cure, B12 injections?

Nah, not really.

Early on it was found that recoveries of Covid-19 tended to have low levels of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is also used as an antiviral in certain situations, so it was incorporated as a treatment. But studies found that patients given B12 injections may have a slight increase in mortality.

So basically, it probably doesn't work and could make things worse.

Another 2210 boy was that cubby house thing fake in the end??

Another 2210 boy was that cubby house thing fake in the end??

Not just 2210 but a Roosevelt kid. Ended up owning a house in Kentucky (prime real estate that ). Real human blood, couldn't trace any DNA, no one missing. No evidence of bodies being dragged in or out and getting one over a nearly 3m spiked steel fence would have been fun. In the end they went with prank.

and ftr - the above story was off the Union street entrance, next to the footy field. Used to walk the dogs in the paddock.

Grandma lived on Union street Dad grew up there the good old Darkside I grew up and dad still lives Alverstone Street off Wiggs road so I wasn’t housing commission but the old tip so you remember that and the boardwalk and even the snake slippery dip in the playground in the flats. Crazy the library is gone

Grew up across the road from the slippery dip (and the rest of that snake). Before the M5, used to catch turtles in the creek off Belmore Road, swim in the old tip water tower (before McLaughlin Reserve was built). Darkside - lol - some crazy shit went on for sure. Back then it was 50/50 houso and defence so wasn't completely feral but yeah, after defence moved out it really became the darkside. Luckily, I was a local so hardly had any issues but you didn't have to go far to see some crazy shit.

Haven't been back for years - the library is gone? Not surprised, doubt half of that place can read.

 

[DinkumDog]

NSW: Cases and ICU down again. Hospitalisations still slightly up, probably on the tail end of that last wave of infection rise and should start to drop soon, hopefully along with deaths which are stubbornly high:

I still say we’ve peaked for Omicron and everything should start trending down soon.

 

[The DoggFather]

Nah, not really.

Early on it was found that recoveries of Covid-19 tended to have low levels of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is also used as an antiviral in certain situations, so it was incorporated as a treatment. But studies found that patients given B12 injections may have a slight increase in mortality.

Thanks Hack.

I'm cutting and pasting this to my uncle's wife, a hippy vegetarian who is a herbalist. Although don't know if it will get through to her as she is in the Seven Day Adventist cult lol

Dr Coatsworth retweeted several Twitter posts slamming Wilkinson and calling out her “privilege”.

“Lisa Wilkinson praising NZ for putting close contacts in 24 days of isolation just shows her inner city, multi-millionaire, guaranteed wage privilege,” one of the posts from Dec Cunningham read.

“I wonder what she’d say if Ardern was PM of Australia and Morrison was PM of New Zealand.”

Another post from David Southwell suggested Wilkinson was more than welcome to follow New Zealand’s new isolation rules.

“Lisa Wilkinson is more than welcome to isolate herself – I would suggest no outside contact so no media appearances – for 24 days. Indeed 24 days is not safe enough – make it 24 months,” he wrote.

Another post shared by Dr Coatsworth pointed out that Wilkinson “only ever criticises one political party”.


No idea who this david southwell is but 24 months iso for wilkinson is a fantastic idea.
* there is no link between southwell and southy,im not clever enough to keep it clean if it were me the comment would be short like
Your pussy smells like a bin fire you filthy old toad
