They can do it, that is Forrest, Reinhardt become billionaires by digging and selling the natural resources, so can anyone. Really, can anyone do it?

No way, Jose, not in a billion years for almost all people, definitely not me. I do not have the problem with these billionaires, and never attempt to chop down the tall poppies. Good luck if they make the money, lots of money. These mining companies help many Australians directly and indirectly to put food on the table, have a purpose to get up in the morning, and pay rent and mortgage to have a roof for shelter.

Australia is a multicultural society, but many politicians have no clue about cultural differences from one race to another. Such indifferent attitude makes most Australian politicians poor in foreign diplomacy, and make silly mistakes when making speeches.

At this point in time, financial and economic interests to get the country up running again as soon as possible is of top priority. Uncompromising and aggressive tones are setting a stage for confrontation with our trading partner who have the capacity to buy our natural resources dug from the ground, and grown from ground. They also pour billions of dollars to keep our service industries afloat.

Once again we look like diplomatic amateurs on China

The world is getting more and more dangerous to live in, and is facing complete destruction caused by aggressive, undiplomatic, self-centred, power hungry politicians.

Australia, with reasonably low fatalities in this pandemic, unless the second wave strikes hard, can become the world leader of peace and humanity, but its government chooses to be the Deputy Sheriff and know-tow not to China but to the US.

Printing money or keep borrowing are not the ways to get Australia out of financial wows after the pandemic. Australia is not the Gilligan’s Island, and needs injection of foreign investment and having other countries to buy its coal, iron ore, wine, education and tourism.

India has more coal than Australia and Russia holds the second largest reserve. As for iron ore, Brazil is still a very large exporter despite its production has fallen to 4th place in the last quarter.

This does not sound good. I hope my very pessimistic prediction is not realised, that is, children become the next wave of coronavirus victims.

Health officials worry a coronavirus-related syndrome or some other unidentified infectious pathogen is emerging in children in the UK.

Australia's suicide rate to rise 40% if emerging risks such as debt not tackled

Australia's suicide rate to rise 40% if emerging risks such as debt not tackled

Do not become a statistics directly due to coronavirus infection, or indirectly due to depression caused by loss of income.

Seek help if you can’t find ways out. Remember, taking your life leaves the trouble to your loved ones to deal with, not only the financial burden, but also the grief and the lack of a shoulder to lean on.

I keep warning readers NOT to overstretch their financial commitments, and all need to save up for rainy days such as foreseen disaster like now. If you can’t afford that extra luxury, sacrifice it until you have accumulated that extra wealth.

The adage that “Short term pain, long term gain” should always be kept your mind if you need a happy ending.

Please be wise, and do not such silly things.

Did Australia demand astronomical compensation from China?

What an idiot to blame CCP of China being responsible for what we are going through today. His mouth is so full of shit that even all the toilet paper in the world cannot wide it off.

The world knew about the coronavirus since it was made known on 31 December by China.

What did the world do after being notified of this infectious and deadly disease? They laughed, they ignored, they said China lied and exaggerated, and they thought was a joke.

What did the world do when Wuhan was in lockdown? They talked about the commies being undemocratic, heavy handed, stripped human rights, and other smeared the Chinese with unthinkable nonsense.

Just for those ignorant twits including Alan Jones, bats have been hunted by Aboriginal Australians for thousands of years, extending into modern times. (Source Wikipedia)

Are goanna or witchetty grub wild life? I dare anyone tell our Aboriginal people that. It is more idiotic and senseless that Australians eat Kangaroo, the animal that appeared in the national emblem.

It is true that the Chinese investors are buying up land and properties, but is it the fault of these people? If Australian government had the laws in place from the start to FORBID ownership, how can the owners of those land and other form of properties sell them?

If the laws are not in place, the one that exported stuff to China and make a hefty profit, then he did not break the law, even though he was wrong morally but not legally.

Did Alan Jones know that Spanish flu originated from Kansas, USA? Did he know that he is creating a racial divide? With his intelligence, he probably knows the second question and fans the fire intentionally to gain audienceship, but I doubt he does not have enough on top to know the answer of the first one.

This is the time not for brownie point scoring, especially those behind the microphone. Wake up Alan Jones, peace is better than war, specific the trade war. No one is wiser if no one buys Australian iron ore, coal, seafood, and education!

Thank you.

This is why Australia will be hit by a sudden surge of infection cases, and the curve will not flatten but rise exponentially soon.

The idiotic politicians really have rocks in their heads believing that some young people can be trusted to follow the restrictions to stay at home unless for permissible reasons.

How can the full force of the law be thrown at such big number? How can the police contain and restrain these law breakers if a riot is to flare up? How can the police handcuff them without being closer than 1.5m?

It is joke that different states impose different fines and possible jail terms. Why can’t these be standardised?

Two weeks ago, 70 students from University flew to Mexico to a spring break party. Upon returned, 24 tested positive of the virus. Just imagine the number of innocent passengers on the commercial flight that could be infected by these brainless twits, all in their 20’s.

Many people including the not so smart politicians misunderstand the term social distancing which does not just mean separation at a distance. Social distancing implies avoid social interaction or distancing from activities.

I have been saying to bring on the lockdown, or better still call it CURFEW, a word most idiots can understand.

If my logical mind does not fail me, I foresee a jump in community transmission in the next few days, all because of these irresponsible hoons.

Seventh Victorian dies as state records another rise in community transmissions

Seventh Victorian dies as state records another rise in community transmissions
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/seventh-victorian-dies-as-state-records-another-rise-in-community-transmissions-20200403-p54gos.html

It is a disgrace coming from the mouth of the Victorian Chief Health Officer that “It’s relatively better than NSW”.

The stubbornness and stupidity of the PM, Premiers, CMO, and CHOs for their reluctance to bring in tougher measures basically writing death warrants from many innocent people in the community.

It is just simple mathematics that the sooner the states are locked down, the less infected people will roam the streets, including those arrogant, irresponsible people returned from Aspen ski lodge, to infect others.

Earlier on, the medical officers were so proud to imply that person-to-person transmission was a no-brainer. This kind of complacent mentality is the root cause for what is happening now.

It is also commonsense that whether to lock down earlier or later would still have big negative impact on the economy; it is a matter of when money is needed to keep business in hibernation and for people in dole queue. The less number get infected, the smaller the economic pain.

Just look at Italy, Spain, UK, and US which are so prominent in the media. Who can they blame now since international travel are stopped? The rising numbers are caused by community transmissions NOT imported cases.

The flattening of the curve is just a consolation for the time being. Unfortunately, more pain is still on the way!

Pauline Hanson demands politicians take pay cut in coronavirus crisis

Pauline Hanson demands politicians take pay cut in coronavirus crisis

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8163723/Pauline-Hanson-demands-politicians-pay-cut-coronavirus-crisis.html

It is a shame that major newspapers did not report Pauline Hanson had demanded that politicians to take pay cut during the coronavirus crisis.

She may not be academically qualified like most MPs, and her speeches are not that polished, but she always speaks intensely and with conviction.

What she says most of the time may not be politically correct PC, but hiding behind PC makes one a hypocrite, and defeats the principle of free speech and expression.

I was not a fan of Pauline Hanson at the beginning, but she has “matured” politically, and she even served time in jail. She can speak more clearly now than PM Morrison, who keeps beating around the bush, delivering confusing messages and makes a mockery of himself.

For people who were still actively working full time or part time, and business operators, they are getting assistance from the government. Spare a thought for those self-funded retirees whose hard earned money in superannuation funds and term deposits have plummeted so much, and can no longer support until whatever they have budgeted for.

This Coronavirus pandemic creates not just financial depression, but also a bigger one known as mental depression.

This is another example of idiotic people not taking heed of the dangerous situation they are in. If they die of infection, it’s perfectly fine with me, but unfortunately they are potential human coronavirus terrorists, attempted to spread the deadly diseases to the community, to cause maximum damage and fatality.

What has the City Council and the State Government do? Nothing. Their indifference is so deafening, and I would like to see the citizens of the state take up class action against these hopeless bodies, should the number of infections increases due to the defiance of the beach goers.

It is proven time and time again social distancing is the cheapest and best way to prevent the spread of coronavirus. In short, the council and the government ignore the duty of care and therefore liable for civil actions.

Is this a proof that Australia has literacy problem?
