ttbn and Indy, and the rest of the Forum Old Farts, you seem rather peeved, with our newest and dearest of new chums Scotty, you mob can call him Mr Morrison. Yes Comrade Scotty is doing a fantastic job for use of the Socialist left. I did hear that Comrade Scotty is considering as the next step in our "great leap forward" to the collectivising of all means of production. Now that will put your mob into raptures no doubt.

Not sure of this, but rumour has it that Comrade Scotty has just hung a picture of Uncle Joe up in his living room. Fantastic if true!

the irony is that Morrison is probably more than earning his salary. There are a huge number of public servants who get paid much more than him. We have the useless discrimination mob who went after students wanting to use computers at a uni, many high paid in csiro paid to fiddle with temperatures to fit lying narratives, totally overpaid uni staff, no doubt multitudes of public servants on stress leave because they have nothing to do.

He's not just any old comrade Paul, he's our beloved Commissar.

No honestly his profile has raised in my view during this crisis.
I think he showed qualities of leadership I did not think he had.
- Good for him, and good for us -

But now he's got to start getting things back to normal, as much as is reasonably possible.
The longer it takes the worse it will end up being.

(Though NSW should keep its borders closed and stay in lockdown for another few weeks)

We made things a lot safer for those at risk and our health system should handle any additional cases, which are guaranteed without herd immunity.

I think we've done about as good as we could, but we shouldn't go back to being complacent just yet.
We don't know the long term effects of this virus, because we don't know whether it came from nature, or from a lab as a biological weapon.

While I'm at it, many thanks to all the health staff who've worked tirelessly at the frontline of COVID-19.
We couldn't have done it without you.

AC,

Ah yes: the "new normal". The media noisemakers are banging that drum for all they are worth, as if a passing virus - and it will pass - is going to change our lives forever. Most of the idiots are under 40, have never read a book or studied history, and are completely ignorant of past hiccups in society that have been overcome.

These morons are using the opportunity to scare themselves (some people get off on scaring themselves and others) by 'predicting' such things as 'the end of cash', permanent restrictions on overseas travel, online shopping only - you name it, nothing will be the same again!

The best, and only antidote to this nonsense is to stop trawling Google for it. Stop watching what started out to be an informative "extra news" program on Channel 7, but which, having run out of useful information, has turned into a scare-mongering event, with interviews with wild-eyed lunatics, nobody has heard of, spewing ridiculous fantasies about things they cannot possibly predict.

Tell them, "Shove it up your arse", and look forward to getting back to enjoying the way things used to be a few months before panicking politicians lost the plot.

runner,

Not sure about that. Scott Morrison was paid $549,250 pa as of July 2019. That's only about $20k less than the US president. Morrison gets $15k more than the German chancellor, and $150k more than the UK prime minister. All for 25 million people. US 325 million people; Germany, 83 million; UK, 67 million.

I think that we pay him - and most other people in Australia - too much. And that's where much of our economic problem lies.
