The #LNP have a candidate problem continued…
“Speaking at a #RenewableEnergy conference in #Sydney on Wednesday, #SurangelWhipps Jr described seeing two-thirds of an island in his archipelago country disappear under water in his lifetime. “For those of us in the #Pacific who have lived through storm surges, #rising #ocean levels and increasingly high tides, the phrase ‘water lapping at our door’ is not a metaphor or a punchline. It’s our fear and reality,” he said.
The comment was an apparent reference to a 2015 incident in which #PeterDutton, while #ImmigrationMinister, was overheard on a hot mic joking with then-prime minister #TonyAbbott (#dickhead) about delays during a visit to Papua New Guinea (#PNG) , saying “time doesn’t mean anything when you’re about to have water lapping at your door”.

The #LNP have a candidate problem cont…
“A #Liberal #National candidate (#JeremyNeal) in a must-win #Queensland seat has apologised after #SocialMedia posts airing controversial views about #China, #Covid19 restrictions and “#feminists” who helped “kick out” Donald Trump 🎃in 2020 resurfaced.”
So you chastise Political candidates who have an opinion and tell their truth OR chastise them because they are not tactful? (ie: don’t disclose what they think, lie etc.)

A quotation from Joseph Addison
My friend Sir Roger heard them both upon a round trot; and after having paused some time, told them with an air of a man who would not give his judgment rashly, that “much might be said on both sides.”
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-07-20), The Spectator, No. 122

According to an excellent explanation from #TACT the wave of mystery pneumonias follows in time and space any wave of #pirola aka the #BA286 family.
In particular the most infectious variant to date, #JN1 "with extreme immune evasion and suppression". In other words, this is the variant most likely to induce #immunodeficiency.
Anything that can cause "secondary" pneumonia is on the list, particularly in children and the elderly whose immune systems are already weakened.
⚠️ At the end of the article, there is a warning that adults will be the next to be affected, in the coming weeks.

… The air by the apple trees was redolent of #cider. When the #ground under her feet brought back #tact, she realised she had #misplace|d the matter. It didn't belong in the head. Only the heart could heal it.

A quotation from Wilder, Laura Ingalls:
«««««
Tact does for life just what lubricating oil does for machinery. It makes the wheels run smoothly, and without it there is a great deal of friction and the possibility of a breakdown.

A quotation from Randall, J. G.:
«««««
Tact is not one thing only. It is a number of qualities working together: insight into the nature of men, sympathy, self control, a knack of inducing self control in others, avoidance of human blundering, readiness to give the immediate situation an understanding mind and a second thought. Tact is not only kindness, but kin…
