I don’t understand this “Commission”. What are its powers? What’s its scope? Why is it doing the job of government ?

It's fine. We just hold our breath and smile for six months. Gina Reinhardt does it all the time.

If employers go into “hibernation”, what about working people? Are we meant to bear the brunt of the cost on $550/week while employers are subsidised? We need an 80% wage subsidy to allow us to “hibernate” without massive economic & job security stress #covid19australia

Oh! By Jove it's one of the lower boys.

Get well soon @BorisJohnson. You are a very important essential worker and we need you back on fighting form as soon as possible.

"Struck me kinda funny
Kinda funny yeah indeed
How at the end of every hard earned day
People find some reason to believe."

[Travis Bickle @travisbynight]

If you are too happy right now or not at all depressed I can heartily recommend Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album. It captures our current zeitgeist superbly.

PSA: DO NOT LISTEN TO SPRINSTEEN'S NEBRASKA IF YOU ARE ALONE IN A DARK ROOM*

* Warning void if you have a Smiths CD

@PaulHenry524 It was heartening to see the methheads and shardettes sharing cigarette bumpers and gansta handshakes at 5am at Richmond rail this morning. That's gonna improve the gene pool for sure!

Actual quotes from my shift today where I saw QUEUES OUTSIDE S GUN SHOP IN WESTERN SYDNEY:

"There is no virus. This is Agenda 21 being rolled out"

"How stupid is ScoMo. Why didn't he just round up all the Chinese in February and deport them."

[Travis Bickle @travisbynight]

@PaulHenry524 Some people, a lot of people, are just dumb cunts.

[Travis Bickle @travisbynight]

I know you're all very concerned about the impact of the Caronavirus and I respect that, but THERE WERE QUEUES OUTSIDE A GUN SHOP IN WESTERN SYDNEY PEOPLE. GUNS. LOCKDOWNS. DISRUPTION. Maybe you're all ok with that but, me, call me paranoid, that scares the living shit outta me.

[Travis Bickle @travisbynight]

@PaulHenry524 Yep. Twitter is not the world and the world is not Twitter. There are limits to communication that are epistemological.

@bruce_haigh Billy Hughes ran a government that prosecuted WW1. The losses from that devastated communities across Australia. Ppl say this govt is the "worst ever" or Abbott, even Howard. But they have s way to go to catch Hughes for sheer evil bastardry. Hughes was a cunt.

"Why don't we just shoot everyone who's got it. That'd clear it up pretty quick."

"Can you believe they've doubled all the dole bludgers pay bc of this Chinese bug?"

@PaulHenry524 "Coz the gummint gonna try and bring in socialism an blame it on a Chinese wog " Actual quote from s living Australian about two o'clock this afternoon in my taxi in Bligh Park in western Sydney.

@cloudycooper @bruce_haigh @markdreyfusQCMP Billy Hughes did needlessly kill 100,000 fine young men and women, let's not forget that. He still has a way to go.
