@brucehawker2010 @Dom_Perrottet Utter rubbish. Transaction taxes are fundamentally bad economically and prevent free movement of assets to the best available use. In any case, Bruce should present the argument fairly and not mislead by talking about the tax increase yet not mention the tax decrease.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@brucehawker2010 @Dom_Perrottet Bruce, why do you miselead? The land tax you talk about will replace upfront stamp duty. You conveniently distort the facts.

@moss_andrews @HippopiJ @RonniSalt @SParnis Anyone on this Twitter feed get paid more than $30,000 per year. Well, congratulations, you are not just privileged, you are in the top 1% of income earners in the world.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@moss_andrews @HippopiJ @RonniSalt @SParnis All this identity politics does my head in.Privilege rather depends on the reference point doesn’t it?Against the kid in South Sudan scrambling for their next meal, I guess we’re all privileged, certainly most people on this Twitter feed. Don’t need to be white, Catholic or a DR.

@Qantas Given Bali is opening in 2 weeks, when will flights resume? I tried to book something in late Jan and I see your website was not accepting bookings. Any updates you can provide would be appreciated.

[7NEWS Australia @7NewsAustralia]

Indonesia will reopen Bali for international flights from October 14th after closing the tourist island more more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #7NEWS https://t.co/z4OPAk6NtB

@tom_mende @ronInBendigo @vicchamber Far better to leave it in hands of the employer. Employer mandating works for edge cases in selected industries. In any case, gov mandates often fall by the wayside in practice, bureaucrats get bored with form filling, lose interest in the endless ticking & flicking compliance.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@ronInBendigo @vicchamber This is counter productive. Just gives air to all the anti vaxers and conspiracy theorists. Look at the @qantas ad, that’s how you get people vaxed. Not ‘get vaxed or we will throw you out of a job’. So unhelpful.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@ReignOfSound @RonniSalt @SParnis How so? A person may be white and male (like me) have come from an underprivileged background (like me). It all depends.

Year 12s back at school tomorrow in vic.

What is policy when there is Covid positive case? It will happen.

If Covid zero policies persists, then schools will be bouncing between open and closed. Has to change to reflect endemic disease in a society where vulnerable highly vaxd

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@ProfPCDoherty Or for those people like me who R fully vaxed (including kids) and tired of lockdowns, ignore all media, the endless politicking, the negativity, the constant ‘bad news’, get off your smartphone & go for a walk. Set a goal, do something different. Far better for UR mental health.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@FaineJon Regarding compliance, here is a statistic.Ambulance Vic normally do 2,000 despatches/day.In first lockdown, despatches dropped to 1,300/day. As of today, back to 2,200/day. Same restrictions, but everyone is now completely ignoring rules.#Victoria

@HowieFe19769539 Nothing beats the left turning on the left. It’s quite a feeding frenzy.

[The Age @theage]

“I can’t do this any more” were the most spoken words in Melbourne last week. As September turned into October, and the reality hit that there are still weeks of lockdown in front of us, shoulders sagged and spirits sank, writes Jon Faine | OPINION

@MrKRudd @AnnastaciaMP We may not agree with it, but publications have a right to a point of view in their opinion and editorial pages. When you say ‘monopoly’, seems you have failed to notice the biggest information revolution in 500 years, the Internet.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@SusieNoonan2 I reckon Dan is thinking of stage 10 lockdown to be honest. No one can leave their property, 24 hours a day locked in the bathroom, grow your own food. Dan wants full scorched earth COVID 0.

Limiting access for the unvaxed to public places will likely breach the Disability Discrimination Act https://t.co/mkX2Vlfe2C

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@DHughesy Agree Dave, completely counterproductive. @MartinPakulaMP More than anything, can you get some more positive people at the daily press conferences. Dan never smiles. And that sad negative shit from Tim Pallas today was depressing.

[andrew @AndrewHiThere]

@Qantas Hi there, I see on public websites that Bali is fully open for tourists from October this year. So I went to your website & could not book a trip in Jan 2022. I am a Gold FF and loyal to Qantas. So, why do you not have any flights? Do you have an IT/website issue?

[Russell Crowe @russellcrowe]

Personally, I’d like to thank @GladysB for her tireless work through a very difficult time. What a tough job. Thanks for the effort you expended & the stress you endured. You led from the front. With perspective, history will define your tenure kindly.
