abc.net.au had an article fact checking this claim. They weren't definitive in their conclusion. They only said that the courts have ruled that border restrictions can be applied for special reasons, and protecting people's health is one of them. But that goes to Tim's claim...courts are making these decisions that they have no rights to under the constitution. I've read it but I can't understand it ![]() |

Is it illegal under the constitution for a state to close its borders to other Australians?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-...orona/12164440 Note the fact check status is "Doubtful". |

I think the reason the US cops more flack is because they are the richest nation on earth and could handle any problem especially since Seppos insist on telling us that they are are the best at everything. Last edited by MITCHAY; 24-07-2020 at 09:21 PM. |

Without internet access and no coffee allowed. No alternative magazines either. And only virgin rainforest toilet paper. Then show them on tour to all of the people who have lost loved ones and children to coronavirus. Its the only way these adult children will learn that their wacko ideas have consequences.

Remember that police are only allowed to act within the framework of legislation they operate in - you can't go putting her in prison because she's a smart ***.
The guy is only doing his job and this woman goes out of her way to smart *** him, it's low on her behalf but not worthy of the gulag. We're a democracy remember, while I don't necessarily agree with someone I'm all for their rights to express it. I like to think of it this way to people who have worked with me - imagine it was me with the power, now you can understand why an open democracy is paramount ![]() Sent from my Nokia 3315 from my 'office' ![]() |

Had to make a last minute run into Melbourne today for a site measure and noticed the roadblock on the westbound side of the freeway (leaving Melbourne). Nothing on the way in.
3 hours later expected to get asked what i was doing but they were waving most people past it. So what's the bloody point of it then? Not that it matters anyway, any basic bitch can just go straight through anyway apparently |

Do you play the lottery? Because if you do then your argument is null and void. Remember the outbreak in Sydney being caused by one guy?
She is proudly setting an example online for others who might be infected in addition to throwing caution to the wind and basically punching a police officer in the proverbial face. Sounds to me like you want the country to be safe for your own larrikan behavior hence the reason why you are defending her. But I'm telling you its not in good taste if it is meant to be comedy. Its down right bloody stupid. |

So it looks like the next stimulus is tax cuts, which is **** all.
Massive unemployment and that's the solution. The RBA has been saying for a long time we need to put in a huge amount in public investment We're ****ed, no real plan for anything ![]() |

I see they have changed the target from suppression to zero community transmission.
To me that's elimination and about time. https://www.news.com.au/finance/work...bd42574771cec7 |

It took pretty much the whole nation being on board in NZ, plus a draconian lockdown, basically stay home for a month no mix or mingle at all, if you had to go out for food you kept well away from anyone, even doing that it was dam hard to stamp it out. Your Geni is out the bottle and sprinting down the street you guys will join the world with rising infection. Was our way better who knows, problem we have now is we are stuck on a island, and slowly sinking economically, the Govt hand outs are coming to a end so more and more people are getting laid off (son was laid off last week Covid was used as reason) driving around theres lots of for lease signs in shops. Have not heard one economic plan from Govt to how they are going to drag us out of this, but we (govt) are going to create jobs (planting trees and some road construction). We had industry leaders offering help with advice but fell on deaf ears with aunty Cindy. Good thing is NZ govt is leading by example they said were going to take a 20% pay cut which seems to be a impossible task to implement with a election soon i cant see that back dated. All i can can see is a tough Christmas looming. Sorry for doom and gloom rant but it seems both our Govt's are a bit lost with this.

Where the US numbers look bad is the 841 (compared to 370) cases per 100k of population and more importantly the 35 (v 27) deaths per 100k of population.

Rocket Lab here in NZ is proof a bit of can do lateral thinking can work, just think outside the box, Aussie and NZ have some clever people in manufacturing, we need to add value here not export raw materials.

Re: stage 4 restrictions, I thought Prof Sutton put it extremely well. Covid is a health risk, but unemployment is also a health risk, not being able to make mortgage repayment is a health risk, bankruptcy is a health risk. Worrying some sections of the media are really pushing for a stage 4 in Vic.

A much lower 293 new cases for Australia but 6 deaths sees the CMR rises to 1.002% and active cases rise to 4,681. NSW recorded 7 and the balance were in Victoria except for 2 in Queensland.
1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.414% and active cases drop to 21. The UK recorded 768 new cases and 123 deaths yesterday so the CMR rises to 15.332%. Just over 69k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,166 deaths sees CMR down to 3.533% and active cases at 49.0% with the raw numbers still rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: The UK completes 14M and the USA 52M tests; Africa sets a new high for daily cases with 20,765; Asia sets a new high for daily cases with 76,144; El Salvador (415), Venezuela (449), Morocco (570), Algeria (675), Mexico (8,438), South Africa (13,944) and India (48,892) all recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Yes things are exporting, things like meat dairy and logs are leaving then we probably buy it back after its processed. It's all smoke and mirrors with our economy at the mo, our best import needs to be from Hong Kong its high skill knowledge based people.We need go getting entrepreneurs.

500 cases active in aged care facilities - good job team the most vulnerable part of our society. Less worrying about some smart *** woman in a silly hat and more worrying about the community this will decimate.
