Before the coup d'etat a free Struth wondered around the world on holidays like most people.
And way back many years ago I worked out just how far Australia had fallen to the safety schtick.
I am not sure if I came up with the term "hivizistan", as it was that long ago, but although I think I did, I'm not going to claim it.
It was at least a good ten years ago.
Overseas, you do not see high viz on every second person.
Here, you can hardly ever leave your home without seeing some Australian peanut dressed like a great orange fluorescent beach ball.
I absolutely loath it and always have done for what it represents and what it does to the psychology of the wearers and those that must look upon them.
Fair enough a bit of high viz for a road worker, or similar, but no one can honestly tell me that it isn't taken up here with religious zealotry not to be found in any other country.
It's quite simply safety insanity.
And the damage it does is far worse than the perceived benefit.
Safety, safety, safety.
Sick of it?
I have left jobs in Australia because of it's insanity.
I used to drive heavy haulage oversize loads to give you one example.
I took a switchroom, (a cement building to house electrical equipment) 8 metres wide etc, on a platform (those trailers with all the rows and rows of little wheels) from Lonsdale in Adelaide to Hay point near Mackay in Qld.
Hay point is a coal terminal and completely over run with safety and compliance.
It was such a large load that we went via Three ways into Qld as it was easier than going through NSW, so the trip took us ten days.
Slow going with such a big load.
However.....
it took us longer to get the load off the truck once we arrived.
Safety.
Extra nights spent in a nearby motel as we went through the processes of gaining entry.
I'm sure I'm not alone in experiencing some of the idiocy of inductions to site.
If you hadn't been there in over a month, you needed to do it all again, by the way.
Without going into the absolute safety idiocy on site, that meant extra days, thousands in extra costs etc, we finally get the building off the platform.
The platform itself is too large to go on the road empty and must be split in half on site to travel back.
Here is ol' struth in the searing humidity and heat of a Mackay QLD day with gloves hard hat, sleaves not permitted to be rolled up, long trousers, (all high viz of course), safety goggles, breaking the trailer down.
I nearly died of heat exhaustion dressed like a fluorescent spastic.
The safety Nazis cruise the site so you cannot roll a sleeve, or remove a glove without being banished from site!
Safety insanity.
It's unsafe.
I have been to a dairy in Victoria where the office staff have had their staplers banned for being unsafe.
I could go on.
The point being, the safety insanity in Australia has been going for some time and I do believe it has been also part of the march through the institutions.
A very big part.
Not only does it slow production to near nothing, it makes it so costly as to be uncompetitive.
A revolutionary western hating Marxists wet dream.
This has been going on for years.
I do believe "safety sickness" the psychology of "safety" as to be underestimated as a weapon of cultural Marxism, and it has hit Australia harder than most countries.
A true mental sickness.
Now you can go down the street and see humans dressed in beachball colours entirely, socks included........and introduce covid, and now with their faces are covered in a face nappy.
The workers for Dr evil in James Bond movies were more human.
Just stop and think of this picture for a second.
Imagine your grandfather seeing this.
And this is just the start of our brave new world I suspect will make the book 1984 appear to be a paradise of sanity.
