Buggered if I know what to make of it all.
Yep, a real head-scratcher.
Does it say that Scottie from Marketing has little or no confidence in his elected team to handle all of this C-19 stuff? Does it say that he realises his own limitations? Maybe it was an opportunity for all parties to work together? Dan and Scottie seem to have been working well together/supporting each other... at least publicly.

I think everyone seems to be working well together to get through this, this thing is bigger and way more important than any political beliefs.

As for Marxists - they're everywhere. Well, close enough I suppose!

Perhaps an important lesson for capitalism, it needs healthy humans, en masse, to operate effectively. Greater investment in health, or perhaps fast tracking robots? Scomo is quite religious, which mustn't be forgotten in this debate, politics and religion.

Or when you are too busy serving yourself....
This $1500 a fortnight isnt targeted well enough IMO and some folk who need it dont qualify(ie teachers who miss by one month due to short contracts) yet a kid down the road from us thinks its great and he will be getting a new car in 6 months..?
Nurses reg fees are due and they get nothing just watered down hand sanitiser from the scumbags who stole it....

I think Scomo is doing the best we can hope for, especially given his political roots and the circumstances.
Doubt that kid down the road will get a loan, at least not from a reputable lender, so he might want to be very careful what he wishes for as the dogs will profit from his ultimate demise!
There is no win in these circumstances, only varying degrees of losing!
Of course, some people might be so dumb they don't know they are losing, wait until inflation kicks in!

ScoMo has got his act together at last and I'm happy for all those who need help to get it but I'd just like to see a bit more targeting of that money to make sure it gets into the right hands and isnt used for other less essential items..
