I mean really, what kind of jurisdiction would allow a boat/yacht/ship to come to port from a known hotspot area. What are the chances.

Refueling maybe, but then it would be a big old **** off i guess. Unless its a stricken vessel. But still, its a bs excuse. Surely theres a shipyard in victoria that can work on something like that. And really, in the current times, what is the 'need' to take something like that out with the restrictions down there?

You reckon the Redland Bay ferry might be a new QLD navy gunboat.
I don't think she went out in to international waters, she would have been tracked all the way from Melbourne via her AIS (Automatic identification system)

You can see where she is right now on Marine Traffic by clicking on the link below, It's a VHF based tracker but if you spend the money you can get the satellite subscription and follow AIS equipped vessels worldwide, AMSA/RCC and state based VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) have satellite tracking so would know exactly where she went, hence why what they did is to dumb for words...

^^^^^ zoom out to get an idea how busy the shipping world is....

HMQS Redland Bay



I've have Class B AIS on my own boat, you'll should get it for when you splash yours next

As Russell said strictly speaking the Red Duster goes with the Australian Registered Ship, although having said that, just poking my head out here in the marina i can see at least half a dozen tattered dusters fluttering around, go to the Chandlery here and you can buy a made in china one for $30-

Outside of officialdom flag etiquette has lost much of it's relevance these days...

Apologies, drifted of topic

Sorry, but the luxury yacht did indeed need repairs, and did have to travel a few thousand km's. The yacht had a paint scratch and the only shop that sells 'Dulux MV Lady Pamela White' is located on the GC.

Nothing at all to do with millionaires thinking they're above the law.

Conspiracy theory...

The man is a known anti-masker to the Police? The man never did put the bins out as he claims (where's the video evidence?). He is well aware of the camera location, as it's his own camera. The Police had driven past just before while he was standing outside and he was asked to go inside? He verbally abused the Police, and walked in view of the camera knowing full well what would happen next.

The Police turned around and came back. The Police officer never ever said "You're lucky my gun isn't in your face." That was just made up to sensationalise his bogus story. He get's his video footage he was after, then contacted his equally braindead compatriot Mr Yemini with a story for his bullsh*t YT channel.

The End.

Anyone notice most of these video's on social media with these anti-restriction morons have a particular accent of the people involved? And a particular look about them?

Filming themselves being morons for their 15 min of fame. Hopefully they and their families contract COVID and end up in hospital. Or dead.

Morons.

Let's not shape Australia with that dudes opinions. Good msg on this one but the lack of authority compliance with people that look like him is unreal. I am not implying a racial thing, just complexion, beard thing.
Just a coincidence I guess
I had an australian friend that appeared and boasted anti australian too, he went away, not by choice

Sorry Franco, I think you are fishing and I can't be bothered.

In other news, Usain Bolt has been confirmed to have tested positive for CV. He seems to be doing ok in a video he uploaded. This will be a good test case to see if/how it has affected his fitness after recovery.

I am not resist either, but if you believe there is no issues you are in a bubble.Without basis, enjoy your transition to islam. I am more comfortable that your legal system uses their time on them more than throwing rocks at you (metaphorically) directly
Ignoring their lawlessness, nice one ignorant dude. ..Yup melbourne is united...

go on the freedom march, mask off, front and centre if that's how you feel. have at it
If you dont attend, you are full of ****

How about his domestic violence problems and the assault charge on his ex wife? https://thebrag.com/avi-yemini-charg...lting-ex-wife/

If Usain Bolt is your counter, were all headed somewhere dumb.

Civil rights and respect for the law go hand in hand, anti-maskers are idiots, but whats worse is the people who don't care for their own civil rights.

Allowing an elected government to take care of your lives, without question, shows cowardice and compliance to the establishment. Thats why the 2nd amendment in the USA exists.

We don't have that luxury, unless....?

His previous history of domestic violence has nothing to do with his politics or his journalism.
Everything. He fails at being a decent human being and shouldn't be listened to or held up as any sort of public figure to be listened to. He's an angry little man and it affects his credibility.

So anyway. Can wild animals get Coronavirus?

I was watching some duck videos earlier and was wondering if there have been cases of wild animals contracting the disease.
