'People don't realise how fragile democracy is. It's not naturally occurring.'
'The pandemic has taught us that democracy is not permanent. We have to fight for it'.
With ordinary processes thrown out the window, parliament regularly shut down, some MPs now excluded from voting... we need to get back to what was 'normal' and 'ok' before the pandemic because what we are experiencing now is a devolution of our way of life.
Since airing this segment in the full episode, Obama's 'sophisticated, vaccinated and safe' birthday bash with no masks and no social distancing has been revealed to be a 'super spreader event' at Martha's Vineyard.
Clearly outcomes do not matter. It's Rules For Thee but Not For Me, and when the hypocrisy unfolds...media just doesn't care.
It's not the argument that matters anymore, it's the side.

This is my theory. It is the only logical explanation in my mind.
I've been asked onto lots of interviews this week. This thought might be helpful to you.

Prof Paul Frijters: The Madness of Crowds
Paul Frijters is a Professor of Wellbeing Economics at the London School of Economics: from 2016 through November 2019 at the Center for Economic Performance, thereafter at the Department of Social Policy. He writes extensively on the realities of lockdowns and the 'why' behind the madness of crowds.
In this interview we explored:
The loud voices for and against lockdowns, and where those voices go after a madness dissipates
The reaction of the crowd during a madness
How a group madness collapses and what the crowd thinks in hindsight
Forces that accelerate the collapse of a crowd madness
Institutions that defend against or slow madness
Opportunistic concentrations of power in the WHO, WEF etc
What nationalism really is

In this episode of The People's Project with David Limbrick MP:
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Australians are recovering from the hard work of electing our politicians. As the hangover clears some are asking - what have we done?
EVERYDAY HIGH PRICES
The cost of living is exploding and has finally reached Australian shores. Is it inflation? Something else? What is inflation anyway?
OUT OF JUICE
Extraordinary times as the wholesale (and sometimes retail) cost of electricity more than doubles for Australians. Where do we get our energy from and are renewables the solution?
THE FRANKSTON SERIAL KILLER
Paul Denyer could be roaming the streets of Frankston again in a year's time. Joined by the boyfriend and best friend of his final victim, we explore what his release could mean.
DOES ANYONE CARE?
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have completed their court case. Can we move on now please?

There have been a number of short-serving Chief Commissioners in Victoria Police, some of them imports from outside the force, some of them scandalously incompetent (Christine Nixon absconding during Black Saturday bushfires to have her hair done, meet with her biographer and have a dinner whilst Victorians died).
This Chief Commissioner is scathing of his successors.
I of course welcome any and all of them to come on Discernable in longform and return the serve to Kel. Like many ALP and Greens members who have rejected the open offer, I however suspect that will never happen.

Dr Jereth Kok is an Australian doctor who was cancelled by AHPRA (his trial is ongoing) for posting memes online.
Under specific investigation is his characterisation of transgender surgery as 'mutilation'.
Here, he explains his medical opinion on why transgender surgery is a completely new kind of medical intervention, and why he does not support it.

Labor’s Deputy Campaign Director (2005-2019) Kos Samaras describes how out of touch many of the 'elites' were during Covid-19.
They failed to empathise with those who did NOT have access to the same levers of power.
These people did not have 'the social and economic capital to reach into a box and get some help'.
