If the already rampant attacks there aren't already bad enough, as the shitt starts really hitting the fan a week or so from now in the US, with their citizens dying in much larger numbers than now, I wouldn't want to be Asian looking and find myself around any delusional gun owners, especially those with an affinity for red caps.

After reading your last few comments, it appears you really want to make racism and/or Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon a part of this discussion.

Something you want to get off your chest?

Yes, long before this crisis I have felt that the current governments and their policies have the power to literally control my child's future environment, as the planet reaches tipping point and as such have taken a much greater interest in the leaders of powerful nations.

Nothing annoys me much more than rascism in electioneering and that is exactly what we have seen play out over the past week. This was obviously done to divert attention from the previous lies of the failed earlier campaigning approach to the virus, such as when wearing his red KAG cap to the CDC and not remotely addressing the huge issue at hand, of which they had tremendous knowledge from briefings. Racial attacks there have been ramping up by the day as a result of his rhetoric, which was in stark contrast to that of the VP and other's standing at the lectern and as of the past minutes I have no doubt that powerful law enforcement figures have told the white house that deaths would result if he continued with it.

I was listening to the daily US briefing on the Fox News YouTube channel when I opened this notification and I note positively that the rhetoric seems to have stopped today, so I assume that they stopped crossing out the word Corona and replacing it in permanent marker with Chinese in his speeches, which illustrates just how deliberate it was.

At this point of the address I have not heard him mention China nor immigrants, so it looks like they have realised the error of their ways. Hang on, I take that back, as he has just started talking about China in answer to a general question on his previous dismissive position. His answer though, was much different to the past days and whilst calling them out, he dealt with it appropriately.

It is good to see that he can actually do it, as the nation and world need today's version of the man and particularly so right now. As long as Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon can stick even remotely to the facts, we can all put up with the unnecessary incredible, the best and the greatest type jargon, but from the questioning, he must also stop writing misinformation, particularly medically related on Twitter.

As for my direct contact to rascism, I am a white male, however, my family is subject to it on just about every single day that they leave the house and it is very real, so it sits firmly in my chest.


@formerguest this is not a knock on you, I am merely selecting your post as an example to make the point.

Can I make a general request to the whole forum, that we make an effort to leave the politics regarding the virus to the politics thread.

This crisis is a worldwide crisis that is going to impact all of us on the planet. It is a serious issue and for the purposes of sensible discussion can we push the political discussion to the politics thread.

When it comes to the political decisions around this crisis, it is a Rorschach test. Like ever Rorschach Test, some see a butterfly, some see a vagina.

Politics is central to this situation worldwide as our lives depend on the ***decisions being made.***

I agree with this and the unavoidable logic that backs it up. Not that it matters but I simply get tired of hearing people bleat about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon uses, the cap he wears. None of these things impact the global response to COVID.

Talking about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon (the worlds greatest Troller) uses and what cap he wears IS a simple Rorschach Test and is completely pointless.

The world needs a President, not a troll. Suggesting the POTUS’ words during a global crisis should not be open to critique? Please. Given how blaze he’s been for months, calling it a hoax, now all of a sudden saying he knew before anyone how serious it was, hopefully this is what finally wakes people up to the conman he is.


GNR, this is EXACTLY what I meant about it being Rorschach test.

The WORLD doesnt need a President. This isnt a hollywood movie. The US needs their president, we need a good strong PM and Govt and luckily, we are girt by sea.

By the way he didnt say the virus is a hoax, he said that the Democrats efforts to blame him for (and they did, they were calling it the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus) was a hoax. Look up the actual quote.

This is why I suggested that the politics be kept to the politics thread, but its not what the people want apparently.

He said the Dems overhyping the crisis was the hoax which is the same thing.


No he didn't, he said that the Democrats blaming him for the "Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus" was a hoax.
Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon: “One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well.” Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon told the crowd. “They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. … They tried anything. … And this is their new hoax.”

He never said the virus was a hoax.

Anyway, for someone who just said he wanted politics left in the politics thread...Im stinking this one up too much.

He claimed there were 15 cases that would soon be at zero. He didn’t take it seriously in January and February, and to claim now he knew before anyone else is a flat out lie. Hopefully we can both agree on that.

Like I said previously, Im not looking to agree or disagree with anyone in this thread about politics. That is the nature of political discussion, its very difficult to discuss it a bit. If I would like to do that, I would like to discuss it in more than shallow terms and then I would go to the politics thread for that. This is not an endorsement or condemnation of your political views GNR.

You never stop with the fake news. Even the Democrats are on side with Mr Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon plus nearly 60% of Americans. It seems only you and CNN haven’t got the message. Give it a rest.

He claimed there were 15 cases that would soon be at zero. He didn’t take it seriously in January and February, and to claim now he knew before anyone else is a flat out lie. Hopefully we can both agree on that.


You never stop with the fake news. Even the Democrats are on side with Mr Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon plus nearly 60% of Americans. It seems only you and CNN haven’t got the message. Give it a rest.

TDS much. Assuming that you didn't hear this, nor ignoring it anyway, have you ever checked to find out that he does actually state these things, or watched the CNN that you refer to?

As to your demigod referring to the virus being a hoax as @GNR4LIFE wrote above, it is disingenuous when looked at in context to pretend otherwise. It was crafted into a series of attacks and denials on the issue and it was not simply one word in a single moment, rather, it was perpetuated by him and others until impossible to continue with such dribble.

If the already rampant attacks there aren't already bad enough, as the shitt starts really hitting the fan a week or so from now in the US, with their citizens dying in much larger numbers than now, I wouldn't want to be Asian looking and find myself around any delusional gun owners, especially those with an affinity for red caps.

After reading your last few comments, it appears you really want to make racism and/or Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon a part of this discussion.

Something you want to get off your chest?

Yes, long before this crisis I have felt that the current governments and their policies have the power to literally control my child's future environment, as the planet reaches tipping point and as such have taken a much greater interest in the leaders of powerful nations.

Nothing annoys me much more than rascism in electioneering and that is exactly what we have seen play out over the past week. This was obviously done to divert attention from the previous lies of the failed earlier campaigning approach to the virus, such as when wearing his red KAG cap to the CDC and not remotely addressing the huge issue at hand, of which they had tremendous knowledge from briefings. Racial attacks there have been ramping up by the day as a result of his rhetoric, which was in stark contrast to that of the VP and other's standing at the lectern and as of the past minutes I have no doubt that powerful law enforcement figures have told the white house that deaths would result if he continued with it.

I was listening to the daily US briefing on the Fox News YouTube channel when I opened this notification and I note positively that the rhetoric seems to have stopped today, so I assume that they stopped crossing out the word Corona and replacing it in permanent marker with Chinese in his speeches, which illustrates just how deliberate it was.

At this point of the address I have not heard him mention China nor immigrants, so it looks like they have realised the error of their ways. Hang on, I take that back, as he has just started talking about China in answer to a general question on his previous dismissive position. His answer though, was much different to the past days and whilst calling them out, he dealt with it appropriately.

It is good to see that he can actually do it, as the nation and world need today's version of the man and particularly so right now. As long as Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon can stick even remotely to the facts, we can all put up with the unnecessary incredible, the best and the greatest type jargon, but from the questioning, he must also stop writing misinformation, particularly medically related on Twitter.

As for my direct contact to rascism, I am a white male, however, my family is subject to it on just about every single day that they leave the house and it is very real, so it sits firmly in my chest.


@formerguest this is not a knock on you, I am merely selecting your post as an example to make the point.

Can I make a general request to the whole forum, that we make an effort to leave the politics regarding the virus to the politics thread.

This crisis is a worldwide crisis that is going to impact all of us on the planet. It is a serious issue and for the purposes of sensible discussion can we push the political discussion to the politics thread.

When it comes to the political decisions around this crisis, it is a Rorschach test. Like ever Rorschach Test, some see a butterfly, some see a vagina.

Politics is central to this situation worldwide as our lives depend on the ***decisions being made.***

I agree with this and the unavoidable logic that backs it up. Not that it matters but I simply get tired of hearing people bleat about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon uses, the cap he wears. None of these things impact the global response to COVID.

Talking about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon (the worlds greatest Troller) uses and what cap he wears IS a simple Rorschach Test and is completely pointless.

The world needs a President, not a troll. Suggesting the POTUS’ words during a global crisis should not be open to critique? Please. Given how blaze he’s been for months, calling it a hoax, now all of a sudden saying he knew before anyone how serious it was, hopefully this is what finally wakes people up to the conman he is.


GNR, this is EXACTLY what I meant about it being Rorschach test.

The WORLD doesnt need a President. This isnt a hollywood movie. The US needs their president, we need a good strong PM and Govt and luckily, we are girt by sea.

By the way he didnt say the virus is a hoax, he said that the Democrats efforts to blame him for (and they did, they were calling it the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus) was a hoax. Look up the actual quote.

This is why I suggested that the politics be kept to the politics thread, but its not what the people want apparently.

He said the Dems overhyping the crisis was the hoax which is the same thing.


No he didn't, he said that the Democrats blaming him for the "Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus" was a hoax.
Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon: “One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well.” Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon told the crowd. “They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. … They tried anything. … And this is their new hoax.”

He never said the virus was a hoax.

Where have you been Col? Not reading the Coronavirus thread obviously. . I’m sorry I’m posts impinge on your sheltered Fox News/Impotus bubble.

Even when you are using his words against him, it’s still a hit job to his supporters. Bottom of the barrel IQ wise

Even worse! Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and those sycophants he has surrounding himself with, have been briefed continually in those months, yet they enabled him to put political interests ahead of the lives of constituents. They all knew and chose to ignore it.

Mike Pence has been one of the worst in allowing his soul to be taken, but I note that his approach has been changing. Assuming it is as he realises the enormity of hole they have dug.

But you see, Col will come back and tell us to wise up. He thinks we get our news from CNN. I wonder if he even realises I follow Trumps twitter feed and read transcripts of his interviews and judge him on that. His supporters don’t comprehend that that’s possible though. If I believed everything I read, my opinion of him would be coming from even further left. As it is, i’m pretty moderate as there’s lots I don’t think matter.

Racial attacks there have been ramping up by the day as a result of his rhetoric, which was in stark contrast to that of the VP and other's standing at the lectern and as of the past minutes I have no doubt that powerful law enforcement figures have told the white house that deaths would result if he continued with it.

I was listening to the daily US briefing on the Fox News YouTube channel when I opened this notification and I note positively that the rhetoric seems to have stopped today, so I assume that they stopped crossing out the word Corona and replacing it in permanent marker with Chinese in his speeches, which illustrates just how deliberate it was.

At this point of the address I have not heard him mention China nor immigrants, so it looks like they have realised the error of their ways. Hang on, I take that back, as he has just started talking about China in answer to a general question on his previous dismissive position. His answer though, was much different to the past days and whilst calling them out, he dealt with it appropriately.

It is good to see that he can actually do it, as the nation and world need today's version of the man and particularly so right now. As long as Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon can stick even remotely to the facts, we can all put up with the unnecessary incredible, the best and the greatest type jargon, but from the questioning, he must also stop writing misinformation, particularly medically related on Twitter.

As for my direct contact to rascism, I am a white male, however, my family is subject to it on just about every single day that they leave the house and it is very real, so it sits firmly in my chest.


@formerguest this is not a knock on you, I am merely selecting your post as an example to make the point.

Can I make a general request to the whole forum, that we make an effort to leave the politics regarding the virus to the politics thread.

This crisis is a worldwide crisis that is going to impact all of us on the planet. It is a serious issue and for the purposes of sensible discussion can we push the political discussion to the politics thread.

When it comes to the political decisions around this crisis, it is a Rorschach test. Like ever Rorschach Test, some see a butterfly, some see a vagina.

Politics is central to this situation worldwide as our lives depend on the ***decisions being made.***

I agree with this and the unavoidable logic that backs it up. Not that it matters but I simply get tired of hearing people bleat about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon uses, the cap he wears. None of these things impact the global response to COVID.

Talking about the words that Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon (the worlds greatest Troller) uses and what cap he wears IS a simple Rorschach Test and is completely pointless.

The world needs a President, not a troll. Suggesting the POTUS’ words during a global crisis should not be open to critique? Please. Given how blaze he’s been for months, calling it a hoax, now all of a sudden saying he knew before anyone how serious it was, hopefully this is what finally wakes people up to the conman he is.


GNR, this is EXACTLY what I meant about it being Rorschach test.

The WORLD doesnt need a President. This isnt a hollywood movie. The US needs their president, we need a good strong PM and Govt and luckily, we are girt by sea.

By the way he didnt say the virus is a hoax, he said that the Democrats efforts to blame him for (and they did, they were calling it the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus) was a hoax. Look up the actual quote.

This is why I suggested that the politics be kept to the politics thread, but its not what the people want apparently.

He said the Dems overhyping the crisis was the hoax which is the same thing.


No he didn't, he said that the Democrats blaming him for the "Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon Virus" was a hoax.
Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon: “One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That did not work out too well.” Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon told the crowd. “They could not do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. … They tried anything. … And this is their new hoax.”

He never said the virus was a hoax.

Anyway, for someone who just said he wanted politics left in the politics thread...Im stinking this one up too much.

He claimed there were 15 cases that would soon be at zero. He **![didn’t take it seriously in January and February, and to claim now he knew before anyone else is a flat out lie.** Hopefully we can both agree on that.

Even worse! Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and those sycophants he has surrounding himself with, have been briefed continually in those months, yet they enabled him to put political interests ahead of the lives of constituents. They all knew and chose to ignore it.

Mike Pence has been one of the worst in allowing his soul to be taken, but I note that his approach has been changing. Assuming it is as he realises the enormity of hole they have dug.

But you see, Col will come back and tell us to wise up. He thinks we get our news from CNN. I wonder if he even realises I follow Trumps twitter feed and read transcripts of his interviews and judge him on that. His supporters don’t comprehend that that’s possible though. If I believed everything I read, my opinion of him would be coming from even further left. As it is, i’m pretty moderate as there’s lots I don’t think matter.

I don't think I could handle the chaos of his Twitter account, but watch plenty of him otherwise. I am obviously left of center, but I probably see more of Fox News and right wing social media than guy like Col. What amuses me most is the downvoting that often plays out when certain contributors open thread discussions and even more so that they are not youngsters.

Poor bastards have probably given up queuing

Actually Hobs Centrelink ask people not to go to the offices but go online through mygov….it crashed yesterday ….I got to start my application,but it asked for my Customer Reference Number...it was the only thing I haven't got so it kicked me out..I rang the phone number but was told we are inundated with calls atm call back later...here it is later ...Im still in the same place I was yesterday and no better off..

Send an email via the contact information on the website and take a couple of screenshots to then send yourself. That way you will be able to receive payment backdated to this date. I am no expert, but had to deal with them last winter and it was like negotiating a minefield in my circumstances, but expect everything will go through unquestioned at this time.
I would suggest that you might want to put information such as your passport or birth certificate numbers, driver's licence state and number, Medicare card, plus banking BSB and Account numbers if there is an appropriate section.. That way they have all your details and hopefully will start a file for you.


If be very surprised if centrelink were that accommodating

Maybe, though I saw minister Anne Ruston fronting up for yesterday's liar and she said identity would only be checked on an honesty basis and no need to upload documents with a picture etcetera.

Quite odd considering their chasing people literally to death for false debts with the flawed Robodebt system for years, which was the brainchild of Scamo way back.

I like the name Scamo @formerguest.
It's a new one on me, the 1st time I have heard it.

I think you need to physically go in to get a CRN. I guess I'll find out soon enough too!

They changed it today so you could do it over the phone!

I tried that cochise,but they were overwhelmed with phone calls ...I will try again in the morning,if no success I will camp on their door until I get in or get an answer...I have no income,I got no answer from my super fund because they are inundated...next step I have just enough to buy a 1Ltr bottle of Wild Turkey and a carton of coke cans 4 packs of Winfield gold...and Im going to enjoy the conversations with myself...in case you don't know I think I have issues so Im gunna enjoy the ride..hahaha ..what else is there to do...talk to you lot?..I may as well buy a straight jacket and try and put myself in it..that will be fun..

Yeah, I wasn't trying to disagree with you. I have researched the super payout stuff as I am going to have to access mine early too. Basically in mid April you will be able to apply on mygov for $10000 and then in July another $10000, you do not need to contact your super fund at all. The government info sheet can be found here.

great work cochise I appreciate the input and will work on it asap...

And the worse thing is you can't throw it on red or black anymore to double it and then spend some at a Gentlemens Club ...what is this world coming to ...

See that's what a queenslander would do ...no brains and happy without them..in NSW we would go to a brothel have a great time for about $200bucks and spend some on plenty of bourbon and coke...still have plenty for the next few weeks..while you cane toad munchers sit and wonder where you went wrong..:angry:

Us QLD men don't go to brothels as we are all good looking and the women chase us
Nsw men need to pay because they can't get any
Now the boarders are closed our brothels will go broke because you guys aren't allowed in

Except this is the quality that is chasing you!

You forgot Ian McDonald.
 
So 3 million qlders will be FORCED to head to the polling booths this weekend.
That's 3 million people quing, sharing booths, handling ballot papers, pencils then all the people who count the votes by hand.
And if you don't vote and don't have a good reason you'll cop a $133 fine.
(Covid19 is a pretty good reason)

A pretty good way to prevent spreading covid don't you think?

Mate you should know the IQ level up there is pretty low...to much sun,beach and toad munching has got to them..anybody in there right mind would postpone the voting and keep everybody safe..not at risk..but it is Qld the sunshine state,where they do things differently to the rest of us...I hope everyone is safe but imagine if thousands teated positive to the virus with several deaths from it...would it be worth the golden vote to stay in power...

Qld will be the epicentre of the China Virus 🦠 in Australia after this weekend ... glad you shut your borders !
 
It was interesting to see on the news the other night when the stimulus was announced ,the uniting of both major parties to defeat this virus...Albo was interviewed and was asked why it was taking so long for money to reach the people who are desperate for rent..
Albo said something along the lines of the govt is doing its best with so many people out of work at once,the landlords should take some responsibility and understand the enormous task at hand or they wont have tenants..he got a fair bit of support from me and I don't really care for picking which party is doing its best,they appear to be working together to get things done..
