It’s a shame Coles and Woolworths are still helping these people ,profit before people.

Once again, shutting the gate after the horse bolted. Tons of medical Supplies were already exported from Australia to China in weeks gone by.

Is McCormack still around? The invisible man makes an appearance.

It would probably just be sold straight back to us at 500 times the price. Online masks are 10 for 25.00 dollars. Normal price pre virus 30 cents.

Absolutely necessary to stop draining Australians off medical supplies. Stop the thieves in public hospitals too ProtectOurFrontliners ProtectOurHealthcareWorkers GetUsPPE Covid_19australia

Country Australians ‘are being made to rely on the socialist ABC for news’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says press freedoms and a free and open media are “being eroded and the blame can be laid squarely at the hands of the legislators”. \n\n“For over a decade now, media companies like News Corp … has been warning federal government that the tech giants like Google, Facebook and Instagram, are being allowed to eat the financial lunch of traditional media”. \n\n“They shamelessly rip off the content created by mainstream media companies and post it onto their platforms, where it is consumed by their large and growing audiences”. \n\nIt comes as many local media organisations in Australia are suffering as a result of global tech giants which have not only claimed a large proportion of advertising revenue, but do so on the back of locally produced and locally funded publisher content.\n\nMr Gleeson said the results could mean “country and regional folk (will) have to rely even more on the ABC, which is terribly unfair, considering it is part of the socialist cabal which includes Labor, the Greens, Get Up and the unions.\n\n“The Morrison government has a lot on its plate right now but when things settle down, the first thing it must do is change the law to protect homegrown media”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia *cough* Murdoch *cough* hahahaha. This is the funniest satire channel on tv! Keep up the hilarity! Sky has the dumbest talking heads this side of Fox! The fact that the ABC has so much influence in country Australia is because it’s the only broadcaster. Newscorpse won’t broadcast in those region, not cant, wont it’s their choice, they say it’s too costly, well I say fuck them!

Australians may remember Morrison’s coronavirus response ‘as an overreaction’ | Sky News AustraliaSky news host Andrew Bolt says it is “an attack on our liberties” to have the majority of the population shut away in our homes in a bid to combat the deadly coronavirus pandemic. \n\nMr Bolt said while the virus does keep spreading, “it's now down to a record low - now less than 6 per cent more cases in the past 24 hours” in Australia. \n\nHe said the trend “shows we can now afford to prepare for a critically important shift over the next two weeks,” a shift that would be aimed at protecting the sick and elderly in the country. \n\nMr Bolt said it was a pity the Morrison government “won’t do what’s done in Taiwan and Singapore” namely the tracking of resident’s mobile phones to ensure they are following strict quarantine measures. \n\n“The prime minister today made clear that he won't be following Taiwan's example (and) he won't be relaxing the restrictions here on our movements for six months”. \n\n“So the absolute devastation to this economy, to people's jobs, will go on and a hell of a lot of people are going to get badly hurt”. \n\n“I think the government will have to start worrying how all this will look in a couple of years, if the death toll stays much lower than the average deaths from the flu but the economy is a smoking ruin”. \n\nImage: Getty Must be building up the portfolio to apply for a position in the UNHR What morals, let’s let a deadly virus roam free. Maybe he should witness an intubation of a Covid patient without PPE and then report back. One word = wanker. covid19australia Times like this when the fools with fooiish comments stand out.
