A comment to an article in the Australian pointed out that Virgin Australia was 40% Chinese owned. I thought I would check on this and came up with the following:
On the Pie Chart, HNA and Nanshan are Chinese.
For my vote no funding whatsoever!
some good news........
So who is deleting our Vehicle Rego costs...
Road Bike, Caravan, etc
I'm sure they will argue i can use the road bike to get my groceries, but many registered vehicles people own are for a purpose
Motorhomes, Campers, Caravans, Road Bikes, 4WDs etc
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

A bad bad day.
Had a call from one of my best mates this arvo. His wife died of Covid-19 last night here in Canberra.
She had been on the f*cking Ruby Princess. A cancer survivor, she was compromised I guess and had been in a medical coma on a ventilator....I knew this about a week ago.
A lovely woman, I really feel for him. Having a couple of sombre beers atm.
That f*cking ship!!!
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
terrible to hear ENF
Yep cruise ships, WTF.
Cheers, Tiny

Sorry to hear enf, commiserations to all =(
There was some Melbourne University leftie Flog going on about it and putting shit on trump about it and saying Australia Needs them and can't pull funding either.
I was wondering WTF do we need the WHO for? We don't have any health problems other than the China Flu one they covered up and are still licking china's arse over so far as I can see, we couldn't need them any less, especially now.
I have seen a number of comments on different articles from people saying they don't like trump but they are cheering because he had the balls to stand up to them over this and Americans need the money more than the WHO jetsetters.
From what I read, China gives them little to no money. Time for the Chicoms to stand up and hand out some cash to their biggest puppets...errr, supporters.
If I thought for one moment that this lot of rswipes could be trusted, or more to the point the bureaucrats that do their bidding, I’d might just consider it, but I am sure we all know that none of them can be trusted, so F#@k Off!!!
And in conjunction with the “private sector” to boot....The Federal Government believes restrictions on the community could be eased in the months ahead if there's more testing, greater surveillance of those infected by the coronavirus and much faster tracing of those they've had contact with.
It is developing a mobile phone app with the private sector to help monitor Australians' daily interactions.

Get real ! The ship has nothing to answer.
Cruise ships are a closed environment. ANY Viral or Bacterial Infection that can be transmitted will be.
Unless the Infected Person boarded the ship will full knowledge of their health status, they are an innocent by stander.
If the passengers were prevented from leaving the ship, and served their Isolation on board, the death toll would be the same or greater.
Allowing them to leave however was only going to spread the problem. A Public Servant made the decision to let them off the Ship and not any Government Minister.
Did that Public Servant make the decision based on false information from the Ships Medical Officer ? Only time will tell.
It's much deeper than that, we're a long way behind the curve in these regards down-under. At present, these sort of measures are only being entertained because widespread, integral tracking via 5G networks and telematics ( ..I know someone in the US working in this area), are in their infancy. This technology can rub both ways as well...ie; he was talking about a police radar app that tied in with your dashcam to not only warn you as you approached the radar check, but also used the new AI functionality in silicon to scan whether the radar unit is still parked in the same location or not. All our mobile phones just got lit up with the first real use of the national 0444444444 number - how anonymous was that? Was our privacy protected, or how long before the technology exists to do that, and be able to figure out where every handset actually is, and if the owner should be there or not? What about when your car starts pinging 5G networks and using GPS and letting traffic control systems know that you're coming, or, same systems broadcasting to your car of an accident ahead, and an ambulance coming up from behind about 1 minute away, so pull over now... this is where they're headed.
If the current covid-19 situation is just a prelude of things to come, and there's considerable research and study to suggest this is the case, if the next pandemic of whatever kind involves a virus with a mortality rate running at twice the percentage the spanish flu pandemic exampled, we wouldn't be discussing things here with the talk of 120,000 deaths, we'd be having the same chat with something like 100million people already dead.
Now, I can't speak for anyone else, but, if something like that happened, and the technology existed to check whether or not people were doing as they're told and being where they should be, or alert me that some drongo who'd been in contact with an infected person had used the same petrol pump 3mins earlier that I'm about to use... or in any way helps me avoid getting infected or infecting others, I'm going to welcome it.

Go right ahead, that is your choice, and your right, but for all that you have written in your post, how many of them were not “what if’s”, and then you have to add all the other “what if’s” that you chose not to add, and if you are going to rely on an “app” to protect you from the next pandemic, I will say good luck to you, but I certainly won’t be relying on it....

...ahh, I see what's happened here - I've quoted your post, but it didn't include the what that you had quoted in your post...which was what I was addressing... doh! Apols Al, excuse me a moment while I go outside and thrash myself with a gumtree branch to effect penance
A side issue to ponder . Indians are jumping up and down about the malaria virus cure being used to "cure" corona virus patients , Strange they are going at trump for wanting to buy it up but then what do you think that was used on bonny prince Charlie as its the best they got and sometimes works
