Freedom March Graham Hood
The void left by perceived weak leadership from federal government has been filled nicely by Loonies from all walks of life . The states doing their own thing , Andrews just added the booster shot for international arrivals in his state and can’t wait to see what extra requirements WA will come up with has emboldened the %1er’s . It’s a mess but fascinating to watch .

Your statement is as credible as his ramblings.

Just to keep the record straight. GH wasn’t psycho tested by Qantas; as already stated far above, he got a Qf job by being employed by Australian Airlines post 1989 and came into Qf via the merger.

Refer to fer vids in posts 45 and 72.
Was there a mandate on dress standards?

When they get their lives back to normal, I believe we can think about getting our lives (fully) back to normal

Come to Melbourne where I can show you a few entrepreneurs who have lost the businesses they spent decades building in good faith, and though they have lost almost everything what really hurt them most is that they lost good staff who were more family than worker. And guess where these poor staff have ended up.
Denmark had lifted most of its restrictions, then when Omicron arrived they quickly reinstated them and their public were very accepting of that decision, probably because they knew there would be an end to it, which is exactly what happened when Denmark recently lifted most of their restrictions for a second time. Why can't Australia do the same here seeing this approach has already been shown to work well in balancing the need for a healthy economy with public health needs.

Better take another look, Bendalot.
The "bloke with the stethoscope" (see post 80) in Kelly's office video is visible over Kelly's right shoulder in the picture of them entering parliament . Over Kelly's left shoulder is Hood in his pilot shirt. In the office video, though, Hood has changed shirts.
The "bloke with the stethoscope" is visible in both pictures with his blue cap on and "stethoscope' around his neck.
Reading above, as you suggest, doesn't tell me why Hood changed shirts so where is it that "THAT QUESTION was answered." ?

PM sits ‘at the table’ with this bozo on Thursday or Friday I guess.
it’s a bit like during the Trump presidency when the looneys said ‘tHe sToRm is cOmInG’. But it never came did it?
As pilots we have all learned to be compliant to the multitude of rules, procedures and regulations which define how we work and interact. For obvious reasons, this is a most excellent trait to have.
But I do worry when this compliant mentality carries over into private and public lives outside of the work environment.
My observation over 45 years has been that pilots as whole don’t have enough mongrel in them to stand up to bureaucratic over reach outside the work environment. With notable exceptions, we (myself included) are just cows in the paddock grazing with our heads down
And then when the odd outlier appears (Graeme Hood, in this instance) the herd gathers together to drive him out.
This thread is but one example of that compliant herd mentality. And personally, I don’t think it’s healthy.
Pastor Martin Niemoller’s poem always resonates when I see episodes like these.

I don’t understand what all the fuzz is about? Hood reminds me about a lot of Auzzie pilots I have seen at the pubs around the world. Just change the song with Waltzing Mathilda and Jesus with I’m the best goddamned pilot in the world.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
I hate to break Godwin’s law but of course the situation in 1930s Europe has nothing to do with the current situation in Australia.
No anti-vaxxers are being sent to camps.
No anti-vaxxers are being denied treatment in our universal healthcare system.
In fact you know who else opposed vaccine mandates?
You Know Who Else Opposed Vaccine Mandates? Hitler.
The Nazis didn’t want certain groups to get vaccinated because they wanted to wipe those groups out of existence.
Current day leaders want people to get vaccinated to.....keep them alive and healthy. The absolute opposite of what the Nazis wanted.
So hearing current day anti vaxxers compare themselves to those persecuted under the Nazis is not only offensive it’s also totally inaccurate.

Looking at the video of them in Kelly's office the person wearing the shirt is not Hood, it looks like the bloke with the stethoscope
