Dear mhaze,

Mate why are you even here discussing this topic. You were repeatedly and comprehensively shot down on this issue. Now you are making things up yet again.

You write;

“Yet based on this they decided to close down most of the productive economy.”

No they bloody well didn't. Our pokies, pubs and cafes are not the most productive parts of our economy. Nor are hair dressers or the cinemas. Our retail stores peddling wares from China aren't either.

However our manufacturing remained largely unaffected until your beloved Sweden where the major car manufacturers ceased operating. Ours kept going. Our miners kept mining, our farmers kept farming and even our teachers kept teaching.

Do try and stick with some semblance of respect for the facts in this thread, it would be very much appreciated.

Our so called leaders summed up by an anonymous blogger following their go ahead to thousands of law-breaking protesters:

"They are either the greatest hypocrites we have seen in a long time, and deserve to be treated like the useless wonders that they are, or they will have been shown to be tyrants who love power and will find any cheap excuse to lord it over the masses".

Under Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party is strengthening its "united front system" of influence by co-opting representatives of ethnic minority groups, religious movements, and business, science and political groups outside the borders of China. It involves itself in foreign political parties, diaspora communities and multinational corporations, exporting the CCP’s political system, undermining social cohesion, exacerbating racial tension, influencing media etc.

Giving the CCP's gleeful announcement to it citizens not to visit Australia, citing the 'racism' and 'brutality' inflicted on indiginese, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the Chinese Communists are helping and encouraging blacktivists and Leftists involved in the racially-motivated demonstrations our unwitting/witless authorities are allowing to occur

maze,

The link I posted earlier is different to the link you posted.

As a youngster I used to wonder how truth about gassing of Jews could be ignored and why Hitler burned books however now I note evidence of reason on this very thread.
Truth can be inconvenient to some people.
Free honest and open speech on Facebook, not yet reported in tabloids and commercial media, will be heard sometime in the future.
That is for sure.

It would seem some conservatives, and their far right allies, are genuinely disappointed that Australia's death toll from Covid-19 is not far greater than what it is. Unlike war where they see the value in lives lost as dollars in the bank, pandemics don't offer them the same financial returns, how disappointing, in fact they are a financial loss for the money people! I once read where a British industrialist estimated the cost to capital for each British soldier killed in WWI was 16 pounds, higher for causalities, but the return on investment was 600 pounds, a jolly good investment wouldn't you say. The industrialist was lamenting the signing of an armistice in 1918, he believed it would have been acceptable to the British people if the war had been prolonged until 1922/23. Unfortunate we can't apply the same to a pandemic.

From the letter;

"We, the undersigned, believe that you should relax COVID-19 restrictions as soon as possible."

The governments of Australia are doing that, or would you prefer tens of thousands of Brazilian tourists with plenty of cash and virus, arriving unchecked into the country as of right now?

ttbn,

We need to open our border to China now so that we can start bringing in millions of cashed up Chinese to get out economy on track.

The CCP can send in its military to protect them if there are any concerns of attacks against them.

We might be able to get Andrew Forrest to line something up with the CCP. Maybe he can get Xi into Parliament House to broadcast to Australia to stop picking on Chinese just because they started the WuFlu pandemic.
