People don't avoid criticising them for fear of being called racist, the media and the politicians don't do it because of $$$$$$$$$$. Everybody wants their cheap labour, cheap stuff, investments and money. |

I understand phrases like “isolate together” were trending over a week ago on dating apps.
Traffic this afternoon in Western Sydney suggests people are done playing cubbyhouses. It wasn’t much different to pre-pandemic levels. |

I have Rescued Greyhounds. I'd have more if could afford it but as a single Dad (don't see daughter, pay maintenance as my daughter deserves it) and you are right. Trump is an idiot but nothing compared to these borderline cannibals in China and similar. They can **** right off and we should as society call these f...w...s out. Enough. Certain photos I've seen will keep me up of a night - dogs in cages with tails waging like going somewhere happy - as I love and rescue animals where ever possible. It's not good enough.

Saw a similar attitude in the local supermarket. A couple of late 20’s South Americans just basically pushed in front while I was choosing something off a shelf. I politely reminded them of the regulations regarding separation. I’m sure they understood my subtle message but I doubt a single stuff was given, little princess had her nose up stuck up higher than a miniature poodle sniffing a Great Danes butt.

How many public sector workers have lost their 'jobs'? The government needs to tackle this elephant in the room. We haven't heard a peep from the PSU about this pandemic, hoping no-one will notice perhaps.
The new $750 per week initiative should be mandated on all PSU's for 6 months.

Rumblings (opinion shopping?) about closing places like Bunnies and Kmart.
That could have interesting ramifications. |

Bunnies Oz presently have trade only hours until 0900. Anyone with a current trades licence and supporting ID is fine for entry - you don’t have to be an account holder.

Anyone that way inclined completely stopped when they got wind of it and were discussing coronavirus in late January
![]() They shouldn't be even considering working but unfortunately it's not law, it's 'guidelines' and they're behaving as such. Keep in mind it's mostly Chinese visa scams sending tax free money back home with these unlicensed 'massage parlours' that have sprung up everywhere. Come over, claim that refugee visa, they're granted the processing time here until they prove its a false claim which takes years then work illegally and send all the cash back home.

After hearing my mums thoughts on the current limitations and how most her friends are over 70 so are now house bound. My mum is under 70 so can still take herself for walks and such, but nothing social. I decided to call my ex wifes mum to just see how my kid is copping with the remote learning and not being able to see his mates etc. My kids fine, hes of the generation who consider google a friend. My ex mother in law is sort of blowing up that she is fine but as shes in early 70s cant leave the house. I actually spoke to her for a while about this and that. We still get along fine, but i kind of got the impression that the phone ringing was ine of the most exciting things to happen that day. So you kind of have to look after your old ones so they stay sane i guess. So i called my mum and asked if she could go over to visit my ex mother in law and kid for a cuppa or something, they are still friends, but maybe take something to change things up a bit. That actually got my mum excited as now she had something to do, she had a heap of lemons, so she has baked a lemon tart.

The rules of engagement for retail seem to change by the day.
On the weekend, Woolies packed your bags at the manned terminals. Now you pack your own. Front of store has Subcontinentals telling you off for taking a basket from the wrong pile. Bunnings have opened up the store entries, removing barriers/rails. A (effectively almost useless) security guard is inside the store near the large opening. The Aldi I visited had an Islander out front, about time as the local houso kids have milked the place for years. Everywhere was quite busy, this is west of Epping Rd. The other side of it seems to be more aligned with the official requests to stay home etc. |

The old man spoke to Nonna last night whose 89 - she says that everyone should be allowed to do what they need to do.
Then when told it was specifically to protect people like her, she replied 'Well, I have to die someday' ![]() She's a fierce 4'8" Italian woman who went through WWII as a child/teen, when she's not threatening to kill people who annoy her in broken English she has a full time gig talking about how her foot hurts, her veggie garden, things that happened 50 years ago and acting tough as nails ![]() |

It was the completely offensive and unnecessarily nasty comment about PS workers and their output that I was referring to. |

I never expected to agree with the incumbent American President on anything much, but his (ascribed, paraphrased) comments that “we can’t let the cure be worse than the illness” now seem like fair cop. I further, absolutely expect the Draconian new rules for containment in NSW to be breached with impunity by the wealthy and priveleged.

That whole generation. I remember in the 80's the fire department coming out to thank my grandmother for clearing the bush back from her back fence. All 4'10" of her had laid waste to about 400sqm of trees undergrowth etc. Just for something to do. Her twin sister nearly got gaoled in her late 80's for taking out some AH social workers who came in her house and wouldn't leave when she told them to. Assault with a deadly weapon... ![]() Tough as nails, can't kill 'em with a sharp axe. Well stuff killed them eventually... |

Just saw a guy not wash his hands (Woolies doesn't require it at my store) then touched pretty every piece of fruit in the Market to examine before deciding on a few items for his basket.
Deadset these safety/risk measures mean nothing so long as this stupidity continues. |
