Hopefully company tax comes down to competitive levels. Would be good for companies to set up here and stay here.

I’m not talking conspiracies.

It’s just following their natural inclination.

it’s their default setting and their philosophy. It’s no secret. They’re quite open about it.

So this has nothing to do with scomo, bushfires or COVID ?
If it always been happening then you can’t blame him.

Morrison can’t be blamed for Covid, bushfires or the drought. He has not done a good job managing any of these crisis, two weeks to late in shutting down arrivals and returns . We would be the envy of the world by now on Covid numbers,now he is rushing it .It’s fingers crossed in Canberra.

Love all the experts on crisis management. With so many online I don't understand how these things last so long.

Yep, it’s not good enough to have one of the best country results to corona. If this was a footy season, stuff the minor premiership, he should have gone through the season undefeated with 0 tries conceded.

We’re doing the ok.

the response has been reasonable, even if it was a little bit late in hindsight. The Ruby Princess was a big f**k up.

Hopefully we don’t rush the reopening and the economic response is sensible and not motivated by favours for donors.

well, we were complaining about China being too slow to act on a lot of things. And they had far less warning than us.
It’s nothing to do with China’s domestic response and all about their outright lying and lack of transparency that lessened the ability for other countries to react in the right way. Human to human transmission / true numbers / silencing people / WHO influence. All the good stuff you’d expect of a commie state.

indeed. Can’t argue with that.

They should seek guidance from Trump’s land of the free regarding transparency and accountability.

At least people have a say every few years to chuck him out if they don’t like it.

yeah nah

And Scomo has handled the situation better that the Worlds super powers.
Crushed it actually.
He juggled an unavoidable pandemic.
We’ll get through this and still have a chance at returning to our normal lives.

yeah he’s done well. It probably was easier here than other places. We are an island and our population density is a bit lower.

I trust him to do whatever he likes next. Blank cheque to implement what he likes.

the UK is an island
26000 deaths 66 million people

Australia
92 deaths 25 million people.


On I think Scomo has done a bloody great job considering we have the virus here too.

He stopped the planes coming in from China early, other countries didn't.

Being an island ,is irrelevant when you have machines that fly and big boats that float.

The answer correct we are
more widely spread as a population, unlike Noooo York, London,Paris etc.

But regardless, if we had not let the huge numbers of tourists from China and students when we did, our contraction rates and deaths would have been far far greater.That has been acknowledged recently by some Uni academics.
He has done a reasonable job in trying circumstances,yet you appear uneasy.

Am I reading you correctly, when you suggested China had far less warning than us? If you believe that is seriously correct ,you can't be f*cking serious?
They were warned back in November 2019, and in December about person to person transmission.Two of their doctors blew the whistle on social media, and they were subsequently silenced.
China stalled, covered up, lied and tried to blame others .And let hundreds of thousands of their citizens travel the world ,to spread the dreaded stuff.
Trump looks truthful when you compare him to the Chinese regime ,and that is saying something.

I had little time for Communism, after this episode I loathe the system and the leaders of it.
I have a lot of time for the Chinese people though.
