While running as a candidate in the 2020 Queensland election and the 2022 federal election I did my best to warn people that our governments’ overreaction to the Covid-19 virus was going to have unexpected consequences, (Did Covid flick a switch to crazy, 17/12).
Covid-19 itself was not to blame for damaging people’s mental health. As it turns out it is suspiciously similar to the flu – which conveniently almost vanished in 2020 and 2021. It was quite survivable by 99.9% of people, even without the several established drugs that treated it quite effectively - but which were banned by the TGA.
However, what is truly disgraceful is certain media organisations leveraging the sad deaths in the Wieambilla tragedy to lump teachers, home gardeners, experimental drug refusers, everyone to the right of the loony left, and everyone who knows that governments lie on an industrial scale in together as some sort of threat to society.
In the fullness of time the truth of the Covid-19 era will emerge, and we will all come to know that the government overreaction was driven by the same small group who profited enormously from the pandemic. In the meantime, it plays into that groups’ hands to try to divide Australians along the line of who trusted the official fiction and who trusted their own intelligence.

To respond to Robert Rutten about the Savannahlander -
RE: Robert Rutten (17/12) and the Savannahlander, I never watch TV because it rarely shows factual information – I was responding to the Cairns Post’s story of 10/12. “The Kuranda Scenic Rail and the Savannahlander engines will get a much-needed upgrade from diesel powered to battery powered after state government plans start to leave the station.”
As a trained interdisciplinary researcher, I contacted the mechanic who removed the old Rolls Royce engines and fitted the new Cummins engines. He stands by his estimate of $80,000 per conversion. From his memory, Cummins engines cost $23,400, Allison transmissions - $19,000, radiators - $5,000, hydraulics - $7,000, plus wiring and electronics, incidentals, GST, and labour.
He believes the weight reduction was about 200 kg and states the repowered units were never placed over a weighbridge and he believes the weight is 28 tonnes. His message for Mr Rutten is to stick to his computers and leave mechanical matters to the experts.
