People are saying we’re going to have a generation of dumb kids because they are not learning anything.

People are saying what’s the last generations excuse ??

Interesting question from nutha forum

So what exactly is stopping people from calling in sick Sunday night then getting a COVID test on Monday then waiting 3 days for the results and collecting $750?
You don't have to use annual or sick leave.

Maybe I should put my reply in the rant thread, and mods please delete if it's not appropriate for our forum.

Our nations farmers (you know, the people that produce the food we eat) endured horrendous financial and emotional hardship during six years of drought recently with sweet FA assistance from our governments.................................. but a barista in Brisbane misses three days work and is entitled to a $750 tax free hand out               

As a nation, we have completely lost any perception of what "hard times" are if we think a few days stuck at home deserves a financial bail-out from the government

100% agree

I've been watching Clarkson's Farming show on Prime. Whilst it is amusing and irreverent as Clarkson is, it really puts on show the plight of being a farmer. They invest so much time, effort and $ on the hope they have a good season, only to be disappointed when the weather doesn't do it's thing or the bottom falls out of the market. Then they do it all again the next year, all without giving it a second thought because that's just the way it is.

Been like that for just way too long.    Banks and Big Investers are the only winners

QLD, another 17.

Following is an excerpt from an ‘on-line’ ABC news article. See if you can pick the relevant part of the statement🤔
“However, Dr Young said it was possible the missing link as to how the virus spread from two returned overseas travellers into several Brisbane schools may never be found.”

Farking overseas, not again, but still. Obviously the system is still not working with people bringing it back with them and then spreading it.

The number who slip through is very small, we are told! How many people with the virus does it take to create a cluster? Less than very small, it only takes ONE. The figure ONE is what the quarantine system should be geared to.

I guess there is a chance that the carrier was/is a VIP so is considered to be outside the policing of the rules, because they are deemed to be responsible members of the community and will do the right thing without health officials intervention?? Yeah right, we have seen enough VIP’s reportedly ignoring the isolate/quarantine regulations to know that expectation is a joke.

Rant over??

When you work out how much money these lockdowns have cost the country…it would have been far cheaper to pay each potential returned traveller a million bucks to stay the fu*k away !!
And to think 1/2 of them only wanted to come home because they lost their income in the country of their choice.

And the other half left the country before Covid was even a thing and then due to circumstances changing as a result of Covid, need to return to their HOME but unfortunately they still struggle to get on a plane to get HOME,with many having no income, no support or job keeper.
I am so grateful that my daughter was able to benefit from such a charitable position after serving others who have far greater needs O/S.
I still believe we are the lucky country but struggle with attitudes like the above.

I think you’ll find a lot declined to come home when covid became a “thing”. A lot of them had jobs and only when the situation became worse they then changed their minds.
My attitude is I would prefer not to get the virus and seeing as I can’t get vaccinated yet I’m not happy with people being allowed into the country while infected. That’s my attitude !!

Your attitude is In no doubt a selfish one. Of course they changed their minds, if your child was in difficulty, you would want to bring them home to your residence where you could better support. As a nation that is what we are doing, bring our own child home.
 
Maybe you could focus you attention to the problem that it is, Hotels are for rest and recreation, quarantine centres are just that. Have a look at the breakouts of the virus from Darwin quarantine centre , compare it with the hotels and there is the answer.

And so what should happen, the governments should stop arguing amongst themselves and just build more appropriate centres as Covid will be here long after both you and I depart.

I’m sure when you are on your death bed and if a loved child was O/S you would hope they could come and give you one last hug. That would be the wish of most That can only happen through compassion of this country.
