We want you to come back bigger and better, trust....... and maybe with a new President.
I think one thing that might help also is that Australia by nature has an incredibly low density of people per area.
Even at its busiest Sydney and Melbourne isn't anywhere near new york or a typical city in Asia.
I'm not sure if it's changed over the last couple of days, but we've done more tests per capita than South Korea according to the Sydney Morning Herald. We've done a fucktonne of testing.One more, we're not testing enough yet since we have a test shortage and are only testing likely cases at the moment instead of wide spread testing like they have in SK.

So what do we think the reason is our numbers don't seem to be following the pattern we're seeing in other countries? Certainly don't think it's because we're somehow better at following social distancing guidelines. Is it just because we're not actually in flu season yet unlike the northern hemisphere?
Hmm, maybe it was for NSW only. I'm trying to find the article, but it was part of that stupid blog post system they use and I don't know if it gets properly archived.hmm, we're still behind per ourworldindata
ourworldindata
we are doing a fucktonne compared to the rest of the world though
I don't think they have tho, right? I think SloMo said something along the lines of 'we recommend, each state and territory to implement if they can be arsed'

It's a silly Star Wars reference.I don't think they have tho, right? I think SloMo said something along the lines of 'we recommend, each state and territory to implement if they can be arsed'

No border closures for NSW/VIC/ACT area.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking with the Wodonga/Albury border being so crucial.I think for Vic this is because some towns in NSW close to the Vic border relies on hospitals near the border.
Capitalist exploitation: i sleep
Chinese trying to secure important supplies: real shit
Calling 90% of business owners awful cunts gets a free pass from you? Ok mate, keep on trucking.
EDIT: I'm aware of a systemic hospitality industry wide wage issue. Nowhere near 90% though. Also doesn't take into account the distribution chain, return to work issues down the track, solid min. wage in Australia etc.
I work in employment data too and yes I would think 80% or more.A friend who works in employment law estimates that roughly 80% of hospo businesses underpay or otherwise don't comply with awards, so it's probably not far off.
So this does nothing for those that have been already laid off? And doesn't do much for businesses that are not open due to not being *essential* and doesn't apply for people that have been casual under 12 months....
It would be pre-tax.
No slomo fan, but you can't cover every single scenario.So this does nothing for those that have been already laid off? And doesn't do much for businesses that are not open due to not being *essential* and doesn't apply for people that have been casual under 12 months....
Some casual workers could get a pay rise, or minimum get all their current pay.Huh ok.
Honestly this is a lot to take in, but other than for casual workers and freelancers this doesn't seem terrible.
Here's the summary from the Guardian feed:
It is worth up to $1500 a fortnight, per employee
If you earn under that, the government will effectively be subsidising your entire wage
If you earn over that, your employer would have to top it up
If you were on the books on March 1 you are eligible (even if stood down since that time)
To return to the books, you would have to work that out with your employer
The government will backdate payments to today.
Employers are encouraged to keep paying employees, with the understanding the government will reimburse them $1500 a fortnight, per employee, backdated to today
New Zealanders on the 444 visa will be included
All other temporary visa holders will not although conversations are "under way"
It does not include superannuation
It will be delivered through existing systems at the ATO
It will cost $130bn over six months.
In the meantime the dole is now only $300 a month under minimum wage.
I honestly think it's very weird the way they did it.i wonder if they'll still monkey with it now that 'real australians' are now covered by the wage stuff and they've minimised people's exposure to the mockery that is a defunded centerlink
Some casual workers could get a pay rise, or minimum get all their current pay.
Would this really be pre-tax?
ATO gives money to employer, Employer gives money to Employee and some back to ATO. Why not just give the post tax amount?
