The dogs are there to terrorize us into submission
Lol wtf
Not a bad concept, I read dogs can sniff out cancer.

‘No country has more investments in Australia than the US’ | Sky News AustraliaUS Studies Centre Senior Advisor Jared Mondschein has brushed aside doubts about a recent report which said the US is Australia’s strongest economic partner.\n\n“Many people know in Australia that China is the number one trading partner for Australia,” Mr Mondschein told Sky News. \n\n“What fewer people realise is that the US is the number one investment partner into Australia.\n\n“That means no country has more investments in Australia than the US and also no country receives more of Australian investments overseas than the US, so it’s a two-way relationship.\n\n“Only 17 per cent of Australians realise that the US is the number one investor [in Australia].\n\n“This is not a recent phenomena, this has been going on for decades at this point, and it’s that investment relationship that has been so integral to Australia’s economic well-being.”\n\nImage: AP That will suit Austs economy, we can go from Chinas growing economic needs to the more corrupt US Extortion economic diplomacy... Most US Companies investing in Australia pay no tax to the ATO. They take their profit and run to 6ax save havens And? We make the laws here.

Australia better placed than almost all countries to respond to the economic crisis | Sky News AustraliaAssistant Finance Minister Zed Seselja has told Sky News, Australia is better placed than “virtually any other nation” in terms of recovering from the economic crisis.\n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg announced Australia's gross debt is forecast to hit $851.9 billion with this year’s budget deficit expected to reach $184.5 billion due to the novel coronavirus. \n\nMr Frydenberg said unemployment would peak at 9.25 per cent in December, although the real number will far exceed that number, with the virus wreaking havoc on large swathes of the economy.\n\nSenator Seselja said the economic outlook will be a very significant challenge; there is “no sugar coating it”.\n\nHowever, he pointed to the Coalition government’s financial and economic management which has resulted in the relative strength of the balance sheet and the budgetary position, placing the country in good stead.\n\n“We have been better placed than virtually any other nation to respond, to respond strongly, to protect the health and wellbeing of Australians,” he said.\n\n“Our debt position into the future (will) continue to be comparatively much lower than most. \n\n“But because we’ve been able to respond in the way that we have, the economic hit - whilst severe in this country - is considerably less than in most comparable OECD countries.”\n\nImage: Getty\n ZedSeselja Would like to hear the basis of that assertion. Upon what evidence is that statement based? ZedSeselja Except for Victoria Yeah OK if you say so..
