With the twin battles that we face and that we fight against a virus and against the economic ruin that it can threaten. This calls for unprecedented action. Governments making decisions like they never have before.
Let the rorts begin by employers.
Coronavirus update: If you don't get how bad this is going to get, you've misinterpreted these global announcements. As I said from the start, I suspect this'll be bad like we've never understood the word. How messy is the other side, when we theoretically restart, going to be?
He keeps skirting around the cure that is Chloroquine. Proven to inhibit & slow the spread of the virus one can only think he has nefarious reasons for turning his back completely on a cure that is being accepted worldwide. PlannedemicNotPandemic
Socialism
We must understand the stimulus as a necessary adjustment/payback and not necessarily as a Govt effort. The Australian success of the last years has been highly based on the effort of an army of second class Aussie workers that we called casual jobs🇦🇺
Still no COVID19 topup payment for elderly pensioners or disabled on disability support pension. We can barely afford to eat now with cost of food skyrocketing. We r the most vulnerable groups to this virus, yet we r forgotton. Thanks scottyfrommarketing guess we don't matter.

Coronavirus ‘has a passport’ which Australia ‘let in through air and sea’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Sharri Markson says as an Island nation the Australian borders could have closed earlier than were done which would have in turn “saved many lives”. \n\nThe Australian COVID-19 death toll has risen to 16 after deaths in Queensland and Victoria overnight, while the number of infections continues to rise across all states.\n\n“So, there may be early signs of improvement, but we are still at the moment on the path of all European countries who are facing a dire situation,” Ms Markson said.\n\n“The question now needs to be asked, why did our governments, state and federal, let infected people into our country via planes and cruise ships?” she said. \n\nMs Markson said that while people may argue “the virus does not have a passport,” she proposed that “actually it does” in the form of people who travel via air and sea into Australia. \n\n“The overall question is, why did we choose to allow this virus to enter Australia so easily?” Ms Markson said. \n\n“We are an island nation. We don't have porous borders like Europe. We could have closed our borders earlier than we have done, before community transmission was rife … this would have saved many lives”. \n\nImage: Getty If only we hadn't listened to the commentators who said it was exaggerated! What about Australians returning and refusing to self isolate? Sone are escaping mandatory quarantine in hotels today. Because so called experts ignored previous history of how virus spread. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this. Greed over health has screwed the economy too.
