I think the whole snapback idea is is fanciful.

I view the whole idea that they can put the economy on freeze until things can start up again to be entirely too optimistic, given we have no idea how long this could last.

Jobkeeper's a great piece of policy for the short term; if this lasts longer than 6 months, we'll see just how desperate the Libs are to retain power.

Well there is no way on earth that we're going to by flying fully loaded A380s anywhere for the remainder of 2020..maybe full of cargo and fuel but that's it.

The problem here is that we may flatten the curve and come out relatively unscathed but who on earth is going to be flying from Europe or US to Australia when those regions are getting hammered by this virus.

The only way this has a good ending is the day the vaccine hits the shelves.

"If" it gets under control thats when the stimulus really needs to kick in
Go snapback and start cutting the dole and jobkeeper then and its potential great Depression V2.0

Instead of making comments like that try researching them, especially Twiggy. If he is in a bunker, he's doing plenty, Google news Minderoo Foundation & choke on China.

I know, he is making bank acting as an intermediary.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Good thing China showed us how to handle it right, eh Comrade ?

Is this a joke?

I'm no China booster, but Wuhan just reopened for domestic travel.

Lets wait and see what actually happens there.

China has made many claims.

Code for we’re taking away from you your personal liberties for something that amounts to the flu.
It Hasnt Got A Bomb, It Hasnt Got A Gun, It Hasnt Even Got A Knife. But It Will Kill U n It's Invisible. Best Marketimg EVER.

I wonder when you see what happens to india and indonesia whether you will go ninja delete all these posts or just blithely continue on - completely un- self aware...

I wouldnt be surprised if they have stomped it - its a lot easier to stop a pandemic when you are a totalitarian state and stay at home means that or draconian punishment

coupled with going to houses door by door and dragging anyone with a temperature to hospital.

i can see how it could work

but by the same token the pricks in charge there lie like trump so....

Andrew Forrest gives away another $520m to fight COVID-19

The iron ore billionaire and his wife have given millions to their Minderoo Foundation, which is buying critical medical equipment for Australia.

Iron ore billionaire Andrew Forrest and his wife Nicola have given away another $520 million to their charitable Minderoo Foundation, bringing their total donations to more than $2 billion.
According to the Forrests, their belief that “we all have to look out for each other” has never been stronger.

In one instance, the deposit Minderoo had already paid to secure an order was returned. The vendor told Minderoo another group had arrived at the factory carrying vast sums of cash and bought on the spot not only Minderoo’s consignment but the factory’s entire production capacity for the next month.
Increasingly, those men with suitcases full of cash are showing up at factories across China, looking to obtain the masks, gowns and ventilators being sought around the world in response to the coronavirus pandemic. As the first Minderoo consignment was making its way to Australia, US officials reportedly intervened on the tarmac of a Chinese airport and diverted a planeload of masks bound for France to the US after offering to pay three times the price in cash.
Ansell chief executive Magnus Nicolin, meanwhile, has detailed what he said was a “Wild West” mentality in Europe over medical equipment, including one incident where a shipment of masks from China to Italy was stopped and seized at the Czech border.
Minderoo’s Steve Burnell has for the past two weeks been overseeing the audacious plan to source vast volumes of medical supplies and personal protective equipment from across China.
Early each morning, there is a conference call between the Minderoo team and government officials to convey the latest equipment and PPE priorities across the country. Minderoo has stepped in where governments cannot, committing to deals in time frames that would not work in the bureaucracy.
Dr Forrest knows some goods will not be up to scratch — Minderoo is carrying the risk, and will be reimbursed only for gear that meets Australian standards. The first shipment has been approved by health authorities, and he said he had a plan if any equipment fell short of agreed standards.


“What the Chinese suppliers know about Fortescue and Minderoo is that we will send those goods back on the next plane we charter, we will put them on a truck and drop them on the doorstep of the headquarters,” he said.
Minderoo has one key tool at its disposal: a letter from China’s ambassador to Australia, Cheng Jingye, describing the foundation as a friend of China.

Johnson? Dafuq?

Though I suppose after his idiotic herd immunity plan, he did throw out a lot of cash.

The UK electorate are more brain dead than the Australian electorate. The Tories have a stranglehold on power for at least 2 terms which means whatever action Bojo takes to deal with this pandemic won't mean a thing when it comes to popularity. The guy looks like an unmade bed for crying out loud and it doesn't seem to faze anyone.

Its a beautiful thing. Money talks and best combined in times like this with the types who simply get things done.
Deniability for our own Govt and cut thru China's.
Should forever come under the banner of "don't ask".

Should have been Aust of the Yr well before now.

Why is it always this dopey binary with you right wingers? Such stupid simplifications are just an insult to your own intelligence.

Yep, that's my fear.

Check this pretty confronting interview (01:32 to 27:53) on ABC radio today with Prof James McCaw, mathematical biologist and infectious diseases epidemiologist.

Specially (from 24:50) re international travel in and out of Australia.

The thing I bolded at the end of my thread is that when dealing with China honey beasts hysteria ..... its been a free kick for the haters including any number of racists.

 

[Kwality]

Given my income, I wonder what I'd have to donate to be equally as generous as Twiggy. I reckon I could spare a couple of dollars.

Sleazy pathetic attempt to deny a bloke pulling his weight.
Is your house on the line, it is for the owners of SMEs, perhaps you consider it.

I think he should be highlighted in the media.
The waging of wars has begun, monkeys like him, should feel the wrath of science over his decaying idealisms.
We need to call these campaigners out!
He and the IPA are maggots, Gina is a maggot, Morrison is a maggot!
It is time to destroy the maggots.

Ok Bradley. Where have all the pneumonia deaths gone?
This is why we don’t allow a mob mentality like you and your friends Bradley when it comes to justice in Oz.

Why would you listen to these guys, same nut/different thread ...

 

[FredLeDeux]

Why would you listen to these guys, same nut/different thread ...

Because so many LNP MPs belong to his organisation; and because they act as bagmen (and, hence, pipers) for the LNP.
