COVID-19 threatens to cause a debt nightmare we can't wake from

The other night I woke from a nightmare. In the nightmare, I was in a car crash in a Comcar, the white chauffeured cars used by federal politicians. There was a car coming towards us, passing another car on a corner on the crest of a hill on double lines.

I analyse my dreams, especially when they wake me up at 2am. I think the cause of this dream was that something not our fault, COVID-19, is now going to cause us massive new problems. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, most interviews on television are done now by Skype. The networks have not shutdown. They have managed around the problem. They use the technology they have and work online. They are working within the limits of their resources. They don’t bring people to the studio because it is against the proper edicts to manage the disease and as well the cost and risk associated with disease control mechanisms within the studio would be massive.

Nice Quilton ad

Why give such a moron oxygen? This is just tripe. It shows a fundamental lack of imagination. It also shows that the world these RWFW’s aspire to will never be as it was. Good riddance.

Politicians to take a 50% pay cut.

If you are after a story with far more intelligence & depth, I recommend...

Why on Earth would you get a corrupt illiterate imbecile to write in your paper, & just how can I have any confidence in . Are you trying to challenge dailytelegraph, australian & couriermail as Australia's greatest waste of paper?

Oh my God $$$$ he must dream of it people are dying shut up stay inside for a bit and keep going

Politician perks and pensions are a huge drain. Maybe let's remove them.

Barnaby Joyce can write? Does that mean he can read too? Who’d have thought?!

Ooh Barbaby’s back! I was wondering where he was hiding!

Why can’t the western world awaken from it? Seaside Chinese assets in our lands, cancel your debt to them and help out your own!

Just refund our income taxes

Sorry Barney- you accountants had your time in the sun with the obsessive race to SURPLUS! at any cost. Now that's out the window your relevance is what

Joyce is a damn nightmare we can't wake up from....

People in Canberra need to appreciate the big cities situation. Higher density than Canberra.. and worse conditions for this virus.

Does the liberal party offer classes saying nothing meaningful while using many words to say it? Here Joyce waffled to a similar extent as the Conmann

The Comcar Kid.

Who cares what this tomato has to say

Banks Win!

Don't be surprised when the GST IS raised.

How much was your expenses claim for being drought envoy...and not producing a report. Get some credibility big spender !

The current spending on covid 19 plus the older debt will add up to $1 trillion for federal govmnt. There will be $20 billion interest alone every year. Current spending is necessary but some do not make sense. It will take Aussies about 30 years to pay all the debt.

Time will see the debt in control.....the money is actually buying lives and potential economic recovery Barnaby. Take your negativity and go and have a long lunch with Tony and Malcolm !

What a clown.

Wow. Who'd have thought it could take so many words to say nothing....

GGP AWAY BARNABY....JUST GO AWAY

Barnaby Joyce has written something?

The monthly payment that is franking credits would be more than enough to make a start on bringing the debt back down. billshortenmp had the right idea in the first place, we now just need JoshFrydenberg to step up and do what needs to be done

Ladies and gentlemen this is the intellectual level of elected officials in Australia. BTW did he write this article on SMS like his drought report. When is that report being released?

Well for a start this bludger and his mistress need to be off the payroll.

Oh yeah blame covid not your 10 years of bad management

Twitter accounts for mainstream media outlets attract a lot dumb people, but especially so when they're discussing politics. I'm here too, so I guess that applies to me.

No one gives a f*ck about your opinion Barnaby_Joyce

Who would read let alone listen to what Joyce has to say. The bloke is a massive tool.

Really, who cares what Barnaby Joyce has to say.....where’s his God now?

Whst would he know?

When this is over, let's never forget those who made it about money.

BellzWebster There’s nothing Australians can’t achieve. Even if it takes a 100 years. Just look at our history.

Join Trump in demanding the PRC compensate for the debt caused by their failure to control the initial contagion and for failing advise of the initial breakout. Their actions to try & cover up led to the virus being transmitted globally.

The woozy world of BJ on the sauce again 😔

'writes Barnaby Joyce' - enough reason not to read.

Barnaby Joyce thinks we are the only country in the world who is going to suffer from debt, we are all in the same boat. They will probably tax us up to the eyeballs after the virus has been eradicated, just don't sell anymore of our assets to China.

Worry for Barnaby and his mates that they are not getting any credit for the spending and when the crisis is over there will no longer any cash for them to splash around.

yes. We may have to introduce a tax on wealth. (with reasonable limits for value of residence , vehicle, savings, etc.) What a nightmare that would be for some.

No worries paying the money back. Scrap all the renewable energy subsidies and other assorted green crap. Bing-Go ! All paid off.

Please let this be an April fools joke.

Unfortunately it will be the leaners here who'll have to lean over further to help prop up the lifters left with a dent in their bank balance. Such a shock to have it revealed so many people's savings won't tide them over longer than a month. That's how it is in the real world.

As a Chinese , really want to tell Australia people and the government never never trust CCP! They were born to eliminate human ! This CCP virus is not Chinese virus , we all victims! In the future we will be together to sue the CCP!Otherwise it will happen again! You never know

Barnyard is a nightmare this country can’t wake from

We all know that already !

wow, Barnaby Joyce is writing columns in the Age now? These /are/ strange times

Says the guy who can't run his family on $200,000 a year. Barnaby_Joyce FinancialReview JoshFrydenberg COVID19au AmyRemeikis

Fair choice to show toilet rolls with an editorial from Barnyard

Please stop giving this muppet media oxygen

No problems xrp is going to wipe global debt! And level the playing field! If you don’t own any xrp at the moment your missing out on the greatest investment in history!

Hopefully Australia will be a better place.

Thks Barnaby_Joyse 4 pointing out the bleeding obvious. Don't know why waste time printing it. One would think the sensible thing 4 ScottMorrisonMP is to set up a taskforce now to dev a strategy to capitalise the trad'g opportunities this crisis may present for Aus.

Gripping stuff. Ping fbongiornoanu, ‘economic toilet paper’ is a cracker.

So who are we borrowing the money from? What's their personal interest in this Lockdown?

Fk that guy - Banarby - is he even a citizen :)

He's right, the amount of debt we are going to have after this is astronomical. Thanks to globalism and open borders the country is essentially going bankrupt. Watch as the open borders Left do all they can to blame 'capitalism' when, like always, it's their fault.

Let us listen to the wisdom of the Beetrooter ffs

Which of his families is Barnaby currently self isolating with? And how many more children will he father as a result of having so much free time?

C’mon guys. You can’t trick us. We know this is an April fools prank and not to be taken seriously.

So we 'won't have a pot to piss in' but plenty of paper with which to wipe our bottoms

His attention deficit disorder flares up again!

is this what alcohol withdrawal does to you? make you sound like a raving lunatic?

Love the hiss and squeal any mention of Barnaby creates.

There will be a Covid19 tax for years to come ..that’s how we pay for it

This is utter nonsense... Our Economy is going to BOOM and be better than ever after this. First Step - SEIZE THE ASSETS OF ALL FOREIGN OWNED PROPERTY WITHIN THE NATION. Second Step - REINDUSTRIALIZE AUSTRALIA - RETURNING ALL INDUSTRY SO EVERYTHING IS AUSSIE MADE.

Poor barnyard,pubs are closed “Delirium tremens (DTs) is a rapid onset of confusion usually caused by withdrawal from alcohol.[2] When it occurs, it is often three days into the withdrawal symptoms and lasts for two to three days.”

Jfc just shows how low you have sunk to have that drooling jester parading as a 'journalist'

‘Leniency’ is over for COVID-19 rule breakers: Vic police minister | Sky News AustraliaThe “leniency” period for tough on-the-spot COVID-19 fines has ended and officers will issue penalties “more regularly” after a non-essential business was caught operating, Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville has announced. \n\n“They’ve been open to providing people with information and giving a bit of leniency over the last period of time, but yesterday they issued a fine for a business that continued to operate, so that business received an almost $10,000 on-the-spot fine,” she said.\n\n “Victoria Police will now be able to formally implement and issue on-the-spot fines and any other measures they think are necessary, not just for those who are required to stay at home for 14 days, not just for those businesses that have been told to close … but also now for the two-person rule.”\n\nShe said police were “absolutely serious” about making people follow government directions such as only leaving the house for work or education, medical needs, exercise or essential shopping.\n\n“There are people who continue to flout these rules,” she said.\n\nIndividuals breaching the rules face a fine of more than $1,600 and businesses face almost $10,000.\n\nMs Neville also said effective immediately people were not allowed to buy guns or ammunition for sport or recreational use in a move to prevent criminals from accessing them.
