And let's not beat about the bush. We all know who it is that Dutton and the AFP are gunning for in the matter of stripping supermarket shelves for profit.

Paul1405,

This is an amazing event. I only hope I'm one of the lucky ones who manage to live through it.

I think people are going to be so angry about what is happening that come the next election virtually no one will be voting to put ScuMo back in office no matter how good he looks in an Hawaiian floral shirt.

PS I don't think his $66b trickle down stimulus package will do anything to prevent widespread unemployment and poverty. I think the small business owners will pocket the money and cut back on staff. Because most are casual and part-time workers their bosses will simply reduce their hours. This means that the business owners will be able to show that they are retaining staff while at the same time putting the stimulus dollars into their own pockets to keep their personal assets afloat. And I think ScuMo and his merry men and women know that is exactly what is going to happen.

I think what ScuMo will do to keep Australia from going down the gurgle is to sell off more of the nation to China.

Whereas countries still with manufacturers can call on diverse companies to produce much-needed ventilators, Australia CANNOT, thanks to its divesting of our manufacturing industries to China. The best we can do is get booze producers to do some hand sanitiser, which is no better than soap and water.

It's interesting, but not surprising, that the usual suspects here continue defending their own fragile egos against each other instead saying anything useful. It's all about them and their political views; all about ridiculing the people out there trying to do something. I suppose we can be thankful that we don't have to rely on them to solve the problem.

Mr. Opinion,

The only thing that you and I agree on is the Chinese Curse. Occasionally we are at one on Morrison, but I am more ambivalent, and admit that he does some things to an OK degree. I think he is doing as well as can be expected with the China virus, but you don't, intimating that he will get the big A at the next election over virus.

Now, we have only two choices of leader. Do you think that Albanese would have done any better. If so, why. He has hardly spoken on the subject, and I believe that I saw a media report indicating that he actually commended Morrison.

..... instead saying anything useful.
ttbn,
It is rather challenging to resist the perpetual sarcasm of some posters even though it goes against my own Principals, I fall into the trap of replying in that manner to those who choose to incessantly do as you described !

I just hope that this crisis is seen as what it can be, the biggest wake-up call we've faced to-date.
If this doesn't shake Govts into reestablishing local enterprise & move away from having everything outsourced to other countries then COVID-19 will be a double whammy !
To achieve that, Govts need the genuine support & cooperation of its citizens & residents !
This is no time for manipulation !
