one of the more crazy ideas getting publicity is Modern Monetary Theory which promotes the endless printing of money for govt spending as long as inflation is controlled.

cannot believe that anyone can take this idea seriously, but some are.

another example of Australians being unable to contemplate the urgency of Aust's situation for some harsh reforms, albeit hopefully they can be implemented in a fair way so wil all share the burden

Chris,

Or, how about: Don't you fancy a bit of hyperinflation with your Wuhan virus centred economic depression?

Mr Opinion,

I actually think Australia can deliver a better future from debate across the political spectrum to help formulate some good ideas.

We can take pride in our response to the coronavirus which (thus far) is proving a lot better than other liberal democracies.

However, we can exclude ttbn for a while until he stops attacking the man and learns how to play the ball.

Just found this on the web showing two more people masquerading as Chinese trying to rip baby powder feed off the shelves to sell in China.

There should be a law against people dressing up and behaving like Chinese!

However lots of penalties for other people, the young, public servants, low paid workers, etc etc, but as usual nothing about the $20+ billion of taxpayer largesse handed out to the aged welfare mob hanging off the govvey teat.
Paul1405,
Could you please post your "Fully qualified fruitcake" Certificate for all to see ?
What don't you get when I say Senior Public Service Bureaucrats on $200,000+?
Where exactly did I advocate for all those you mentioned to be penalised ?
Can you also provide a Link where the Old Age Pension is referred to as Welfare before Labor so insidiously removed it but kept deducting the 7.5% for it ? Why am I asking for this you might ask ?
Well, because when my age group was paying this contribution for the Pension there was no Super , only Pension and, that's what we contributed to for over 50 years.
So you claim to be in our age group, what are you living off now ? Have you paid 7.5 % for over 50 years ?
You sound like a perfect Bludger !

individual,

That wasn't you by any chance in the video above masquerading as Chinese in order to get preferential access to baby formula at Big W?

All of these people masquerading as Chinese are giving the Chinese in Australia a bad reputation as parasites. There should be a law against it! Although I must admit one could say that they were at least dressed for the occasion (we might call that a Weinbergian inference.)
