Also you said you had an income but didn't have a job... doesn't make sense. Government handouts are for people who would be homeless without it and would starve otherwise. Not for those like you looking for an easy way to pay off the mortgage. ![]() You also have a massive equity supply in that home that you own, I think it was 10 years ago when the Liberal Gov made it harder for people with more than 1 million dollars in equity to apply for any government payment until they've dipped into that. There are people out there breaking their backs earning $140 a fortnight delivering newspapers. Its those people who need Jobseeker so they can feel less suicidal and hopefully find a job.

Gas Wagon AUII has made no mention of where he lives, who he voted for or what his income is. Try to stick to the topic please.

Maybe that is how it should be, but certainly is not. No handouts for me and my fam but I know people in a far better position than I working out whether to bank their extra $$$'s or put it back into the economy like, you know, its supposed to be used. I know someone who owns 2 properties, who could buy a handful more tomorrow, deciding this right now. I lost 20% of my salary, no handouts, and remain grateful it wasn't 100%. |

I'll stick to the topic but so should he. I also don't recall any twisting going on, yes I assumed but it was a pretty good one considering he's bashing the government after working for "40 years". And yet you come after me? Read this: Quote:
Should also mention that I thanked him for his insight into the LPG industry which was his very first post. |

Would you call someone who has worked for 20 years as a carer for his two disabled parents a zilo?
Someone with a broken back? Now who's assuming stuff? I've got both, baby. Seems to me we're not wanted anywhere. Seems to me that when you break your back at 12 years old and refuse to get the surgery done because of what the doctors did to your father's back after his truck accident that your life is over. I don't want to hear this crap any more than you guys want to hear my troubles. Fact is I'm still alive because of those handouts. |

I'm so sorry to see the plight of Victoria at the moment . To every single person impacted by the strict new level four lockdown in Victoria I send you my wishes for the next few weeks and no less so to any fellow AFFers that'll be impacted financially or hopefully not medically .
I'm pleased to be in Tassie at the minute . Only one active case in the past 10 weeks and that was a Tasmanian returning from Victoria a bit over a week ago . Premier Gutwein has just announced this arvo that our borders will remain closed to all the other States until at least the end of August when initially S.A , W.A , Queensland and the N.T were to start re-opening with us in about a weeks time .. Looks like so many of us Taswegians who love travelling to Victoria , NSW and the other States will not be doing it any time soon and of course our own tourism industry reliant of great interstate and overseas visitors will keep struggling big time as well . Can't wait to see the back of this crappy year ..Stay safe , distanced and protected from this dreadful virus everybody ... |

There could be zombies and aliens roaming the streets and you'll still be able to get a Big Mac meal in the drive thru. Or at the very minimum, 24 nuggies. How about the fact most of the workforce is totally shut down and has no job for (lets be honest the rest of the year) 6 weeks. Most small businesses are hurting from the first wave so i don't even know how they will survive this. I dont understand who regulates this or if its an honor system. The honor system has worked well previously during the pandemic so I'm sure uncie dan will let us make the decisions ourselves yet again |

"Research from the Burnett Institute revealed that before Melbourne introduced Stage 3 lockdowns, the reproduction number was 1.75, ABC’s 7.30 program reported.
The Level 3 restrictions brought that infection rate down, meaning that 20,000 infections were avoided during the month of July." How many potential deaths is 20,000 infections that based on current CMR? |

Food is a basic necessity and when you are restricted to only 5ks from home, and your local supermarket has nothing, what then? And you’re right, there won’t be any local takeaways left to deliver to your door, they can’t afford another shutdown. I don’t do conspiracy theories, but where does this stop? When we are all on a universal income? When you take your weekly government food ration?

I think those of us who are allowed to operate all have to reduce staff levels by 33% from the looks of it, I guess I'll find out more come Wednesday on what's going on.
The roads were dead this morning, just about had one of the freeways to myself it seemed. |
