People need hope - not doom and gloom.
Foxy,
I agree, could you please do your bit to encourage the Leftist media to pull their fingers out ?

Come off it Paul.

The worst problem for Australia is being caused by the catastrophe that is Victoria.
It is in the worst health situation.
It is in the worst economic situation.
It is costing most of public funds.
It has the worst unemployment.
It is run by the worst lefty government.

At least half the current problem for Australia has been precipitated by the ratbag left governments handling of the pandemic.

Bleating about Morrison, no matter how poor his handling of the situation may have been, most of the continuing problem is down to Victoria's lefty government.

Andrews should be in prison for some of his actions, but his police force is too busy arresting pregnant women for what they posted on a bloody web site, for gods sake.

It was 30 years ago since Keating delivered the recession we 'had to have'. I was still working for a living then, and the earth did not stop moving. Those who who lead a simple life, lived what they earned and were generally thrifty, sailed through it. The same thing would happen now, if people were not so greedy and wanting everything that rich people have. No sympathy for them.

We're in uncharted territory, so inventing a roadmap won't be much help. The situation is controlled by events, so we need reactive policies.

Are public servants affected? Well, the federal public service is at its lowest number for years, with cutbacks since 2013. Presumably this contributed to the robodebt fiasco. People are now being redeployed from other departments to the tax office and centelink to help with the workload. At a local level, council workers are pretty busy fixing roads, probably taking advantage of lower traffic. Where I live, redeployed police and military are running the border check points. And space a thought for doctors and nurses in the public health system who have a high rate of covid infection. Maybe you didn't mean those public servants? The ones we depend on?

Are public servants affected?

yes they can't buy their lattes because they are 'working' from home on full pay.
