Now that would save $20 billion. Agree?
Paul1405,
Getting the likes of you off the Govt Apron would save double that !

SR,

I still struggle to work out whether you are just too thick to follow the logic of a thread or are just an habitual liar.

Case in point: " I tried pulling mhaze up on his insistence that travelers from the US were not the primary source of infections entering Australia but he wouldn't have a bar of it."

That's utterly wrong. Utterly wrong. Nowhere, NOWHERE, did I make any such claim. The only point I made about this was that your claim that the US was the largest "of the rest" was not based on any facts. You'd found a list with the US at the top and had asserted (a claim without facts) that it was there because it had the highest numbers. But there was no evidence for that. NO EVIDENCE. And I simply pointed that out.

Now, of course, you, as is your want, rather than admitting to exaggeration or fudging, went off on some vague attempts to muddy the water.

Here's my post: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=20781#366367

I'd ask that you acknowledge and/or apologise for your error/lie but since we are dealing with SR for whom ethics is a four-letter word....well it ain't gunna happen.

Hilariously, even SR didn't originally make the claim that the US was "primary source of infections entering Australia" which he now claims I disputed. His original assertion ( a claim without evidence) was that the US was the biggest "After Wuhan, Iran and the Diamond Princess". So the dill can't even get own views right, let alone mine. So perhaps not a liar, just a moron.

More SR moronosity:

"I wanted Americans barred from entering Australia even when it was obvious they were the leading cause of infections."

They never were the leading cause of infections. Even SR didn't claim that.

"Trump called it a hoax."

No he didn't. Just another factoid that SR prefers to believe rather than get the truth.

Like everything available to us we can now add

CORONAVIRUS - MADE IN CHINA

"I still struggle to work out whether you are just too thick to follow the logic of a thread or are just an habitual liar." (mhaze on SteeleRedux).

Both thick and a liar. Our coordinator recently declared SR to be dishonest; and his witless, Left ideology, which has him lashing out at just about everyone except his daft acolyte, Paul 1405, is obvious to all. They both miss being buttered up by the thankfully departed Foxy, and are now themselves the dregs of ratbaggery. They can't express themselves without being abusive or unpleasant to other posters. Ignoring them is the only way to go.

Of course Trump never claimed that the corona virus was a hoax as those suffering from delusion claim.

That left whingers love to nit pick others' claims but are patently careless about theirs is less ironic than simply dishonest.

Dear mhaze,

Lol.

This really has become your default hasn't it. Torturing past posts to create straw men in order to deflect from grievous missteps.

This is what I posted on that same thread;

Dear mhaze,

Here you go.

"Authorities have provided information about specific destinations in only half of the cases acquired overseas.

Among those cases, the United States was the most common country visited, followed by Italy, China, Iran and the UK."

This is what you were putting as evidence that your president was doing such an awesome job;

Quote

The Countries Best And Worst Prepared For An Epidemic...."The United States was named as the country with the strongest measures in place and it came first with 83.5 out of 100."

or

"WHO Chief Praises Trump for Leading Coronavirus Response From the Top".

End quote.

Looks like events have caught you out and now you are lashing out.

Unedifying to say the least.

I did like this breakdown of the ad which Trump (your president) is trying to get removed from TV stations.
