South Australia's seasonal worker quarantine facility shuts down this week as the final group of international workers prepares to start picking on citrus farms in the Riverland. Local farmers had to cover quarantine costs but are pushing for a travel bubble with Pacific Island countries because Australians are refusing to do the work.
The Pacific Islanders have been the saviours of the state’s citrus industry because Australian workers would not take up the work even though they were offered $6,000 in relocation grants. The quarantine facility which was set up for international workers in Paringa will shut down for the foreseeable future once the final batch of Samoan workers finish up their quarantine on Saturday.

Security in the Indo-Pacific at the centre of trilateral meeting | Sky News AustraliaIt appears a lot of the trilateral meeting between Prime Minister Scott Morrison, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and US President Joe Biden was “all about China”, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.\n\nMr Clennell said the emphasis on China could be seen in the statement put out by the three leaders following the meeting which said one of the issues of mutual concern was the Indo-Pacific region. \n\n“They agreed that the strategic context in the Indo-Pacific was changing and that there was a strong rationale for deepening strategic cooperation between the three governments,” the statement said. \n\nMr Clennell said, “then they mention exercises in the Indo-Pacific by the Carrier Strike Group, led by HMS Queen Elizabeth.”\n\n“So kind of worrying here … it seems to be a ratcheting up of tensions with China.\n\n“They don’t mention China, they just talk about tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Well, what else are they talking about?”\n Well that's that fixed then. IStandWithBrittanyHiggins ChristainPorter ScottyFromPhotoOps Scottytherapistprotector OH LOOK THE THREE STOOGES

There are a lot of shared values and principles that we have that sit underneath that”. \n ScottyFromPhotoOps Scottythefukwit MurdochGutterMedia You know humanity is unintelligent when allies is a thing and it's a dog eat dog world.

'Thankfully the G7 agreed' that 'it does matter' how COVID-19 started | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says it does matter how COVID-19 started and 'thankfully the G7 agreed this week'. It does matter because it might help us fight future outbreaks, but it's probably not the big conspiracy you're hoping for and it doesn't excuse Trump's gross incompetence in dealing with the pandemic, dopey. Start with Trump. Why did he pull his pandemic team out of China. Animal to human transmission you dumb fuck. Like all these type of viruses. Apparently it happens regularly but this one is a lot more stubborn than others. Just stick to eating donuts
