Dear posters: unsubstantiated advice will be deleted. We understand you want to help, but #fakenews blah blah blah we're not allowing any disinformation.

No surprise here. Trump stopping funding to WHO.

I believe the US funds the WHO to tune of approx $450M per year. By far their biggest donor.

Morrison rules out Federal Government, public service pay cuts

Prime Minster Scott Morrison says pay cuts for himself or federal ministers are not being considered, saying those in public service are "working as they've never worked before".

www.abc.net.au

He should also cut funding to himself. Don't know who is worse out of him or the WHO. Will have to go with the Don.

[SaltPeter]

Good on him, let China find their "World" Health Organistation, hope we follow suit (if we fund them at all)

Maybe the G20 (-China) can set up and fund a real WHO

The WHO is an agency of the UN. There’s a lot to play yet I think. It’ll be interesting to see how Europe and the UK react to this.

Didn’t he decide not to pay himself when he became president?

[Murray2503]

ever had such a bad case of the yips that you’re terrified to begin the stroke? It’s horrible. I’ve played near full rounds doing the walk past tap in ‘setup’ because I couldn’t get my putting stroke started. Another method I’ve used to break the mind lock is to set up and as a normal player would start their takeaway, I release my hands altogether, re-grip and go. The yips are a bad, bad thing and they paralyse me. Thankfully it’s only gotten that bad a handful of times.

Yeah suffered from the yips myself mainly when younger especially in penant competition and it can be demoralising especially when hitting it close consistently. A lot of putting is purely mental but often many amateurs don't focus enough on working out the correct line and speed prior to setup. Found the forward press to start the stroke can alleviate some problems as well. If all else fails go the claw.

Thats my local Drakes at which i haven't seen toilet rolls for 5 or 6 weeks. Hope that scumbag goes broke.

From the toilet paper calculator.

100 Rolls will last him 800 days. (2 visits a day)

Extrapolating this to 4800 rolls he will have a personal supply for 38,400 days which is ~105 years. His great grandchildren will be rolling their eyes at him.

Was no mention by Drake whether this guy was wearing any sort of Powaa paraphernalia upon his return. I take that as a given.

Sweet lord what do you think every tenant would do. It will be a free for all.

Jesus Christ. How is it fair that you can't ask tenants prove financial hardship? Wtf is unreasonable about that? If they haven't actually lost their jobs, why should they be entitled to lower rent? This is an absolute disaster. Tenants will just stop paying rent.

Of course it’s unreasonable ...... to landlord

Might just as well hand your asset over to the Queensland Government.

Of all the financial difficulties that have arisen from this virus, investment properties is the one that I do not care about

Boo flipping hoo

 

[CrowinNT]

This is what one of my Property (NT based ) Managers send to me about 10 Days ago and it was concerning that
Tenants were seeking to exploit “hardship” reprieve

 

[Scorpus]

I have little sympathy for landlords given it's just an investment for them... but these laws are legit garbage. Rushed, flawed, and unfair.

Emailed our real estate agent as we have lost a housemate directly due to the virus who is now back in Hobart, without a job, and who still has all their stuff in the room but cant get it as borders are closed so it's hard to get a new housemate

Got an email back saying go to Centrelink - uh... that doesn't fit our situation at all
Real estate agents are morons

Can’t remember, but is your old housemate eligible for Centrelink payments?

Wineries/breweries now allowed to operate takeaway (previously they could only offer delivery)

That would appear to be another saga waiting in line and waiting to speak to someone at Centrelink.

If your patience isnt tested, then the potential to catch the Coronavirus will get you. Its a smart plan by the Govt, this way if you die, no need for Centrelink payments.

My understanding is that in the Adelaide Hills this has been a major issue.
