Discretionary spending is over.Period.

[Numpty]

Hi everyone,

I don’t celebrate our current state but I notice that efforts are in place to protect livelihoods all around.
While wishing you successes in all your endeavours I would warn you against the hope of only fans and other predatory providers.

Take care, personally I won’t spend a cent in any of these mediums as physical contact is all that interests me, so I’ll have a break, having said that just thought I’d give you my 10 cents worth.

good luck

What would put loads of people's minds at ease would be if someone kinda let on how long this is going to be the case, as if this is a long term lifestyle change, then even the well to do will run out of money, there mansions won't be worth crap, the mega billion $ companies listed on the stock markets will be worthless you could potentially buy BHP for a few bucks with a few mates, there won't be big enough prisons for all the crime that will happen, Women will get assaulted at home and killed in larger numbers, same as Children, and society itself will be in chaos.

The Media need to stop using terms like Could, Would, Should etc and use terms that are 100% positive no ambiguous to the extent that they are only driving fear into an already fearful situation. People don't mind sitting at home if they say until 1/5/2020 but not just sit there, and you can only go to Supermarket/Chemist and BWS... eventually people will walk out the door and go back to normality and think like all the other viruses out there well it's out there now we have to get on with it and live life because the longer we are at home the harder it will be to get things back to where they were before all this.. So people need a timeline.. NOT WOULD/SHOULD/COULD.

Leigh sales interviewing someone from Kalgoorlie Ironic that lady in kalgoorlie is sitting on one of the world's richest lands with one massive gold mine near here and the local hospital couldn't handle a few cases of CV19 time to KEEP all mining $$$ in Australia tell all the foreign companies to F off and mine it and keep all that money in Australia.

Tax credits for oil and gas giants rise to $324 billion

ATO figures show the amount of tax credits has risen, reigniting calls by some for a 10 per cent royalty to replace the petroleum resource rent tax (PPRT).

Turnbull government called on to explain where Australia's offshore gas wealth is going

It's a story of two resource-rich countries with two very different ways of harnessing the wealth they are blessed with.

How 710 companies got away with not paying a single cent in tax

ATO data shows about one-third of large companies have once again failed to pay a cent of tax.

Time for our gutless leaders to change this. The mineral wealth stays in Australia if this can't change that mentality then we know where the real enemy is..

This is because the CV Pandemic is totally unprecedented mate & how could you or anyone expect a prediction of an end date let alone a guaranteed end date when with every passing hour the situation changes for the worst?

That's what people want.. or they will just start up society again like we do before CV19 and just live day to day.. and hope we don't get it.. Do you honestly believe people are going to sit at home indefinitely?

Excellently put, Phoebe.
Being in the baking industry, my job is safe, but I can't see my girlfriend in Queensland, all the pub bands I follow have been put on ice and getting a beer or a cup of coffee has suddenly become a problem.

A columnist in today's paper pointed out that some of the little towns on the highways between states rely on travellers to keep existing. They may not come back from this.

A couple of months maximum, I think, before law and order starts to break down.

The Eyre Highway from Norseman to Port Augusta, is run by BP/Shell and a few independants, one at Mundrabilla, Nullarbor and SAFF at Nundroo... and you are right loads on these country roads won't survive.

A couple months, I say by end of April ... The Guys at local prisons will get some new fresh meat. JUST make sure you ain't one of em. As in this day and age you need clean police records to get menial jobs.

Yup it'll be good if the government could post more information about the recovery times from the data off china, they already have the data on the rate of spread on the virus yet nothing about the recovery period. How long did it take for china to really recover? Since they are saying they are back to normal country activities.

They need something to calm the masses, not spread all this fear over and over again. Haven't heard anything about the vaccine since the last new report about it. What about the trial tests or what stage they are on finding a cure on it? Everyone would love to know anything about that.

If this goes on for too long yup there will be a lot of businesses red in unrecoverable debt.

You really can't trust anything coming out of china at all. I'd be keeping an eye on what happens in Italy and the US as a lead indicator for what will happen here.

The Chinese government really screwed the world over on this one. I hope they are held accountable but won't be holding my breath.

If it was not for China, where would Australia be today ? Watch what Putin does. The Chinese Govt may of done. But what nation is willing to go to war with them... China holds that much American Debt that America is the same as Australia.. Made in China has flooded Australia and America... Even the Fuck off we're full stickers are made in china.. OWNED.

The new world :

China
Russia
Germany
Japan

My point exactly. We need to wake up. China is bad news and we cant rely on them.

Too late the horse has bolted, China holds all the cards for Australia's future more so than ever before, unless we have some true leadership after this Australia is kinda screwed for the next 10-20 years.. The Mining boom what boom Australia is broke. Look at the UAE and Australians have the nerve to call them Ragheads.

If you are ever wanting to see where Australia's mining boom money went go ride this when its open.
