.. the reason he is at loggerheads with Victoria and Qld on state borders
Mr Opinion,
It could also be the other way round as they're Labor States ! The more damage they can inflict on Morrison's Govt the more Epicaricacy satisfacion for them.
I'm not saying it is such but, it can't be ruled out either !

pseudo-individual,

I totally agree with you.

It just depends who is more convincing. The two premiers could be using it as a political weapon.

But I still reckon if Andrews obeys Morrison he can blame Morrison for the next wave of WuFlu.

But then Morrison will just say it's a State matter and sidestep responsibility to put the blame back onto Andrews.

Misopinionated,

Your last comment: so you ARE living overseas somewhere ? That makes a lot of sense. Somewhere in Asia, perhaps, roughly in our time zones ? Somewhere pro-Chinese ?

As for your futile attempts to disrupt conversation on OLO, and to help you brush up on your techniques, can I recommend:

"Gas-lighting for Idiots" ?

Pseudo-mouth,

How did you work out that I am an expat? Very clever. What gave me away?

I am not trying to disrupt the discussions as you put it.

What I have always tried to do is engender critical thought about the issues and a search for the truth in place of blind acceptance.

Sorry for being the odd one out. It's the sociologist in me.

Loudmouth2,
Can 14 year olds be expats ?

Surely Aidan, there is nothing more dead end than being a dole bludger.

It is about time for a change in welfare attitude. No one should be allowed to bludge on the tax payer for more than say 6 months. If someone can't find a job in 6 months, there is nothing wrong in "helping" them get a job by sending them fruit picking.

If everyone knew that 6 months was the limit before such work became mandatory, many more would put at least some effort into finding more desirable, to them, employment.

Fruit picking can be fun & profitable. In Young in the 50s about 30% of the kids would go cherry picking. The season coincided with the finish of school exams. Both the school systems uttered threats about absenteeism, but the chance of earning the money for a new bike, sporting gear, or even a horse was too great to stop.

Life in a country town was great, but was even better when a couple of weeks pleasant work could earn you a week at a beach after Christmas. Nothing like earning your own way.
