We are supposed to be grateful to politicians? Pigs bum! We need to be working out how to deny them the power they have taken for themselves, and to punish them for wrecking business, jobs and the economy in general.

This is going to be hard, thanks to our stupid preferencial, compulsory voting system that means we can only ever have a Coalition government or a Labor one. Both are as corrupt, stupid and incompetent as each other.

The only way to get across the message that we are fed up is to turn up at the polls to avoid draconian, bullying fines, and put blank voting slips in the boxes. And, what's the chance of baa baa Australians doing that? Close to zero.

So, keep sucking up what the politically grubs do to you, and stop whining. You are slaves, not citizens.

The Davos Conference this year appears to be about the BIG RESET !
This seems to be a proposal to entirely reconstruct industrial,
political and commercial society.
From the little I have heard it is a merging of Marxist and elite financial interests.
Co-incident with that is discussion that the type of regulations being
applied to combat the covirus be used to control individual's CO2 emissions.

So, I think that this year it might be worth taking more notice of Davos.

Shutdowns ought to be replaced with enforced non-voluntary quarantine! Assisted by a widely deployed testing regime that identifies who is spreading this disease! And would be more effective if rigidly enforced, with no beg pardons!

Understand that this virus can live for as long as a month or longer on some surfaces and is 7-8 times more prevalent in the population than is immediately apparent!?

It's hugely contagious and may even see the milder cases needing to be hospitalised, e.g., Donald Trump, maybe? And that infection, as an Asymptomatic infection not revealed by symptoms, can still be doing you internal harm!

Not necessarily self-evident to the Asymptomatic, super spreaders! And that harm could be damage to your lungs, kidneys, heart and the brain! Somme of which has manifested in the very young as the Kamakasie syndrome, where the immune system starts attacking the recipients own vital organs! And seriously shortening the term of your natural life?

Any treatment or vaccine will need to be repeated with biannual boosters in order to protect and promote herd immunity?

Nobody ought to be able to refuse!

And may need to be tranquillized, with a tranquillizer gun, if necessary and have the vaccine infused while they cannot resist? Possibly with a non-needle regime?

Any such measures, to be effective will need unconditional bipartisan support! Just like what was our SANE practise in beating smallpox and polio!

Let's just get the politics/nut jobs/raving right wing looney tunes out of it, take and deploy the expert advice and fight the disease, not each other, in mule-headed counterproductive outcomes that only allow the disease to prevail and send the economy and our traditional freedoms, to the nearest, deleted expletive, Taxidermist!
Alan B.

Hey Alan B I suggest we get the left wing looney tune nut jobs out of it too!
We drop all lockdowns, fines and masks. We ensure no politician or public servant gets more than seven hundred dollars a week for the next year for two reasons. First to give them a dose of their own medicine and two to reduce some of our debt.
We let this cold (That's what a corona virus is) get into our ranks and the vulnerable should be kept safe if that is what they want. Then we get immunity from it. All the squealing about this but nothing new. All viruses can cause long term damage and this has been known for many years. No increase in deaths anywhere because it is taking out the people literally at deaths door who would have died anywhere.
This is the greatest disaster for one hundred years, not the virus the way we have treated it. Clueless politicians egged on by idiot power mad medico's they should be held up as an abject failure that they are!
Before you respond Alan think "The exception proves the rule" OK?

Bazz,

More on Davos.

Pope Francis and Prince Charles are all for the ‘Great Reset’, along with the World Economic Forum.

The WEF and ‘progressives’ have been trying to use climate change to bring about economic change. The WEF, at a virtual meeting in June, aided by the world’s most powerful business leaders and government officials, as well as leftist activists, came up with proposal for scrapping traditional capitalism for more socialistic policies.

The founder of WEF, Herr Klaus Schwarb, announced that that, “Every country from the United States to China, MUST participate, and every industry from oil to gas tech MUST be transformed.

Schwarb is a big fan of Communist China. There’s a surprise!

Every aspect of society and economics “MUST BE REVAMPED” he says.

Prince Charles is not just a hanger on, either; he is one of the primary proponents of the Great Reset scheme.

The lunatics will be revealing their evil plans at their temporary asylum in Davos in 2021. Hopefully, no Australian politician or official will attend. It is rampant socialism, with the China virus and climate change scaremongering used to make people more susceptible and receptive to manipulation and loss of freedoms.

The WEF has already trained 300 ‘Gobal Shapers’, leftist activists who were involved in the climate strikes of 2019. Al Gore’s organsation ‘Climate Change Project’ is also involved in training.

Thousands of these ‘shapers’ will be operating in 400 cities across the globe. The Left has proved, via the China virus that it can change political realities amid a crises. Look at Daniel Andrews.

Ahhh yes ttbn, I did read something along those lines elsewhere.
The Queen needs to step in and pull Prince Charles out of it as it is
very much political.
The worry is national governments, including Australia turn up at this
fashionable gabfest. Do they understand what they are getting into ?

It seems like an unholy alliance if ever there was one.
It will be interesting to see if the Arab States get involved as I can
see major political clashes in forming policy. The conference will
want to shut down Islamic countries oil industry.

After all this World Economic Body, the Chinese Communist Party,
the Organisation of Islamic Countries all have their main aim as
the control of the world.
Will we have a three way war to settle it ?
Watch this space !

JBowyer

congratulations for being one of the very few rational posters from the start of this idiotic response to a bad flu. Our countries hysterical response has caused untold damage for generations to come. China laughs again. Oh for a Trump!

Alan B is being purposely misleading.
COVID-19 is neither high virulent (deadly) or highly contagious as the info in this link shows.

So his suggested actions may actually be more harmful as even social distancing is an unnecessary medical intervention weakening natural immunity. Also the masks which can physically scar faces and are pointless as virus can be contracted via eyes.

Other coronavirus (they're even in pets) have been tested with life up to 28 days. There are over 200 types of coronavirus. So many that there are 4 groups. A common cold is a coronavirus, but would we care if it had surface life of 28 days. Would we mask up for it, shut up our businesses, socially distance? No! Why, because it is not lethal to vast majority of the population & the same can clearly be said about COVID-19 based on data.

The CSIRO test confirms the faster breakdown in heat was key in the study. It shows the virus is likely to be a winter virus. Locking people up in their homes as the weather is clearly now warming may be physically dangerous.
