Mr Jones said "haven't they copped it down in Victoria" following recent flooding which left thousands of Victorians without power and caused massive damage. "Some families lost everything in their homes". "There is no national disaster fund, I've argued about it for years," Mr Jones said.
There is one... the Emergency Response Fund. They took the $4 billion from an education infrastructure fund in early 2019 and haven't released a single dollar yet, despite the largest fires in recorded history and multiple floods. Do you guys even do a modicum of research?
China Nuclear plant has been leaking for two weeks, yet again China are hiding it,and it's causing catastrophic damage to the environment. How much more does the world have to endure for leaders to finally act b4 its too late?! China will be the end of us.
Why, whats wrong with taking out insurance? If its climate change associated the carbon tax should be a source. Why are peoe running their lives/businesses uninsured? If we bail them out to counter moral hazard we should get a slice of their equity. Like what qantas should h.b.
And we all know who should be chipping in.....
Hopefully it will cover some of the disastrous crap that Toilet Boy dishes out.
Governments are not interested in National Funds
But then the Liberals would only spend it in Liberal electorates

Victoria’s two new COVID cases are both children who were isolating | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Health Minister Martin Foley says the two new local COVID-19 cases recorded in the state are both children who were in isolation during their infectious periods. \n\n“One is a contact of a positive case that we reported last week linked to the Reservoir household, and one is a contact of the City of Melbourne case that we announced over the weekend,” he said. \n\n“We expect to see more known about the close contact’s positives as they more widely move their way through the day 13 quarantine clearance. \n\n“What these figures tell us … is that the system is working, and that the public health settings that we have in place at the moment are appropriate.'\n\nMr Foley said the Department of Health has identified approximately 2,000 “active primary close contacts” which remain linked to the outbreaks, but the number of close contacts is on a “downward trajectory”. \n So lockdown the state for another few weeks? Pour kids Spin and Rhetoric, how many cases are serious? How many Teir1 hot spot infections are there and how many of those were serious infections. Tell us the truth, stop the distortion of the facts🤷♂️

Trilateral talks with Biden and Johnson were ‘really useful’ for Australia | Sky News AustraliaAustralian British Chamber of Commerce CEO David McCredie says it was “really useful” for Australia to be able to get two of its biggest allies - the United Kingdom and the United States - together for trilateral talks.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison met with US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the unique three-way discussion in Cornwall where leaders have gathered for the G7 plus talks. \n\n“I think it was interesting the way the trilateral talks were framed,” Mr McCredie said. \n\n“I think it is actually probably really useful for Australia to get two of our biggest allies in the room together and have those open discussions in a forum which is just a little bit tighter than perhaps with other G7 nations.\n\n“We know that over the last 100 or so years we’ve fought in a lot of conflicts together. 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.
