Job Keeper
This monumental stuff up could have a positive effect if the government thinks this through correctly.
As was stated previously a person being on job keeper is much better off than on job seeker. They have a job! As was stated before sometimes unemployed people never get another job.
Thus Job keeper should be expanded.
China
Australia made a terrible mistake in asking for an independent inquiry into the coranavirus. We did this BEFORE making inquiries about support from any other country. It was not hard to see China seeing this inquiry from Australia as part of some US plot. Moreover the Foreign Service of China has gone distinctly downhill in recent times possibly due to the introduction of 'wolf warrior' diplomacy. These fears would be exacerbated.
If such calls for an inquiry had been made as part of an international effort we would not have attracted the ire of China.
Queensland
The murdoch press and now Peter Dutton are up in arms about Queensland keeping their barriers up against anyone from any other state. Funny I though Why are they going on so much about Queensland and say nothing about Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the northern Territory. Gosh silly me there is an election due there in Spring
Energy
The hapless Angus Taylor released a new paper on future energy needs. Besides getting wrong what is actually in the paper we find it heavily reliant on gas. you know gas it lead to SA having the highest wholesales prices in Australia. No mention anywhere of new coal fired power stations however.
I know the solution. Put a price on carbon and let the market do its work. hint the solution is renewables. they are much lower in cost and more reliable
I think you don’t really have to worry. Australia is not alone in its desire to investigate the origin of COVID-19. More than 120 have already joined the resolution for an independent investigation into the circumstances of the outbreak of the coronavirus.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I was talking about an inquiry on how it occurred, where it started etc.

ReplyDeleteI am from Canada not China but that is exactly how I saw it.

Uh, as Daniel Johnson puts it, More than 120 have already joined the resolution for an independent investigation into the circumstances of the outbreak of the coronavirus. seems to cover this.
From my viewpoint in Canada it sounded as if Australia was endorsing the US witch hunt.
That is exactly what it could have looked like to the Chinese moreso given how poor their foreign affairs is these days
