By Mal Fletcher, published 17/3/2020

Sometimes, in the face of great challenges, we lose our individual and collective capacity for perspective.

The economic effect of COVID-19 is a warranted reason for slashing Public Service salaries !
Those over 250K/year by 20%, over 150K/year by 15% & those over 100K/year by 10 %. This would solve two problems at once. More funding for Health & stimulus packages or perhaps even a National Service scheme.
The major future benefit would be a more even playing field in the job market & a good opportunity tp restart Australian manufacturing !

agree 100% Individual. Also get rid of the abc to prevent more fake news and Marxist garbage being spewed out.

In my opinion, a baby isn't a baby until it is born; prior to birth, it is an embryo or fetus. I do strongly oppose late-term terminations.

In Hitlers view Jews were not people.

runner,
I doubt that, I think he thought of them as such a big threat that he saw what he did as the only way out or solution.
Then again, how would I or anyone know what he or the Jews thought 100 years ago in an economic & social environment such as the one looming again right now !
Do you think those panic buyers right now are all that different from then, considering how they're emptying the Supermarket shelves without a thought of others ?
I shudder at the thought how little it takes to turn people into monsters !
COVID-19 will bring out the Nazis among us !

Hey Francesca,

"In my opinion, a baby isn't a baby until it is born; prior to birth, it is an embryo or fetus. I do strongly oppose late-term terminations."

- Did the man that had to deal with your pregnancy hormones and irrational moods feel the same way? -
