My father's small failed mission and its members will never be mentioned anywhere.
Just blips in history.
Z Special Unit His small group 'Platypus VII' of four Commandos sent off in a botched raid at almost the end of the War, to help with an invasion that was mostly for vanity whether for Australia's or for General MacArthur's benefit I'm not sure.
The Japanese in Borneo in July 45 should have been a 'mopping up' operation rather than an invasion from what I've read. The US had broken their fighting forces in the Pacific and sent most back to Japan, where the possibility of a long, difficult fight still looked very likely, before the Atomic bomb was dropped.

Is this Virus a regrettable and unexpected escape from Wuhan or a training exercise? Is the virus world-shutdown part of a live training and simulation exercise run by the World Health Organization and United Nations?
I wonder. But let me take you on a journey, which started back in 2005.
When I was a kid, being a member of the school drama or tennis club was important to me. I belonged to the school debating club, the school choir, the school almost anything club... I just loved belonging to a club. With school closures and disruption to life, are we doing something dangerous to our children?
Removing their ability to be part of a club and replacing it with the membership of something much worse: the membership to an online club? Like Tik Tok?
My clubs, as a young girl, were fun, harmless and positive.
“I would expect it to be as mandatory as you can possibly make it,” the PM said.
Mr Morrison had better rethink that statement fairly smartly - it is not something that many of us will take lying down.
According to reports, The Prime Minister of Australia is confident that a vaccine will be available as early as next year and he has apparently put an order in for 25 million doses. The vaccine, he assures us, be FREE.
Well, thanks but no thanks. We must have a different understanding of the word FREE.

In 2011, British Illusionist Derren Brown conducted an experiment that I have never forgotten.
In Remote Control, audience members for a game show are asked to wear anonymous masks and dictate the ongoing fate of an unsuspecting, secretly filmed member of the public.
The show takes a look at the horror that emerges when people are allowed to make anonymous decisions as part of a crowd.
It caused a degree of shock and horror at the time and was designed to show us how being anonymous in a crowd can, in his words, “turn perfectly nice people into internet bullies, or rioters, or hooligans”.

Jacinda Ardern, the darling of the leftie luvvies and the CCP has delayed New Zealand's upcoming election until October 17th. Is this a master stroke or a very very bad move for her and her coven of witches?
What happens if the mood of the Nation has not changed by October? Will she postpone again? And again? No matter what, I suspect that the colt from Old Regret, in the words of Banjo Paterson, may just have gotten away. I think she may have given Judith Collins an edge that the member of New Zealand's International Union of Socialist Youth, Ms Ardern, should perhaps not have given to her opponent.

Our Governments need to admit that they were wrong. Cut their losses and get us out of the boathouse.
Many decades ago, my late father bought a boat. We called it " The African Queen " because it was an old clinker craft boat in need of restoration and a new motor. After many months of hard graft, the African Queen had a facelift that would have made Nancy Pelosi proud - unlike hers, the Queen had a dignified look and was completely free of botox.
But, much like poor Ruth Ginsberg, our boat could float but it wasn't able to do much else.... it could never leave the boathouse and set sail because it's motor was buggered.
Politicians have given Australia an impossible task - fight a Covid Lock-up while also enduring a Green Energy Shake-down.
A Covid Depression is already locked in. Recovery dictates that we must reverse the lockdown and also rid our weakened economy of the Green parasites forever sucking our energy.
Australia seems to specialize in political stupidity.
Our Flags are under attack. They are being trampled into the ground, burned, stomped on and treated with such contempt that it breaks the hearts of many and fills others with joy and triumph.
How much can a Flag take? How much will a Leader accept when this horrific denigration of National Pride is being defecated on , peed upon and treated with such dishonour? How are our Leaders allowing this destruction of Patriotic commitment to everything that we hold dear, this symbol of who WE ARE AS NATIONS to be so ground in to the dirt and defiled?

When administered as monotherapy, with the correct daily dosage and over a period of 25 days, Hydroxychloroquine has been proven to destroy cancer cells in one treatment. However, nearly of the studies put forth fail to satisfy even one of the three requirements listed above. These studies are designed to fail.
“Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine will be used interchangeably in this article as to coincide with the manner they are used by the Food and Drug Administration.”
