Today, Victoria has passed legislation in the lower house to make pandemic powers permanent and even more draconian. Here is a QC explaining what the major issues are.
They also added an amendment for “no jab, no jury” - unvaccinated cannot sit on a jury for the next 12 months.
This comes on the back of “no jab, no tennis” - unvaccinated players banned from participating in the Australian Open Tennis next year.
“No vaccine paper, no parliament”.
And of course, “No jab, no job”.
This whole “no jab” thing began with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in 2016 with his “No jab, no Play” law which banned unvaccinated kids from preschool and disallowed parents to receive some social payments. And Aussies being simple as fuck, love the repetitive trope.
Victoria will hit 90%+ double vaccinated mostly because you are locked out of society in every way if you don’t get it.
We’re in a ridiculous situation at the moment where retail is about to reopen at 80% double vaccinated in Melbourne, non-fully vaxxed workers can’t work but unvaccinated shoppers can shop. This will change in a few weeks when the unvaccinated will be locked out of shops when we hit 90%. The Premier has supporters trying to explain this logic all over social media.
This is what enforcement looks like on business.
They have to enforce vaccine passports. Under the new bill, businesses face fines of up to $450,000 after 263 days of lockdown.
This bill basically gives the Premier the right to declare a pandemic on his own. Any disease, even if it isn’t in Victoria, he can unilate
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

So has Sweden decided to hate English football now? Hopefully not for the wrong reasons, in that case.
You can question the quality of their play, the reasonableness of their self-image, the atmosphere in their stadiums, the greed around their top clubs - but you can't really question the power of the world's most all-encompassing football culture.
It's always been my own version of riding a fairy-tale train through the land of dreams. Nothing else has taken me right into the very bloodstream of English football as all train journeys have done.
I like to call it travelling through the landscape of Saturday mornings. Next Rotherham. Then change at Doncaster for anyone going to Scunthorpe.
Whether the town planners did it on purpose I don't know, but if you're a bit alert and know what you're looking for, you can almost always see the silhouette of electric lights and grandstands as the train chugs its way from the outskirts of the community towards the station.
The bridge over the little river. The pubs on the corners. The church in the middle of town. And then the football stadium near the railway tracks.
It's what's always there, the guarantees that these proud little communities lean on.
Saturdays are the very best days to travel by train, the days when travel turns into ritual. For me, they usually start in London, over that breakfast they call "continental" these days but which is still so unmistakably British. It doesn't matter if you actually opt out of the beans - it feels like you've opted for beans anyway.
A couple of hollow toasted sandwiches, a little too weak coffee instead of tea, an extra check on the itinerary. If there's a match in Brighton, Southampton or somewhere else down the south coast, it's a case of getting to Victoria, Waterloo or London Bridge. If you're heading west - to Bristol or into Wales - it's usually Paddington. But more often than not, it's north.
In many of Europe's biggest cities, you can move around without even noticing it's match day; Paris, Moscow, Berlin, even Madrid. Football sort of swallows up and disappears.
*In London it's impossible, at least if you get near any of the hubs. The Toon Army from Newcastle are pouring in across Kings Cross, while a few hundred Sheffield Wednesday come

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
