Ok then, so what is your solution to improve the supermarket distribution network? You're yet to contribute any idea aside from trying to crap on others.

A bit less of the "why don't they just...." would be better.
Social media and talkback radio is riddled with it.

Why, you think the mob running the show have all the answers, they're backflipping on a daily basis.
This is something we we're not prepared for, who could be, and so they are making it up as they go along and whilst that is inevitable, logical thought and discussion, some of which has been put forward by people on much smaller incomes than Scomo and his State level associates, have initially been scoffed at before announcing it as their own brilliant plan a few days later when they think no one is noticing.

This is the COVID 19 thread, you will find many different opinions in it which may or may not align with your own, if you're not happy don't open it, simples.

Could you please list say 6 of these ideas you claim were scoffed at and yet later adopted including who put them forward?

Lol, that old chestnut.

Its pretty obvious that you think this whole thing is a big non event, if you haven't noticed whats going on then i'd suggest its not from lack of comprehension but from ignorance.

I said a week ago that Schools would be closing early, This week I said maintaining mainstream education wouldn't be feasible, I said modified programs would be required, all the while Scomo, and Steve Marshall at my own State level said, Schools are staying open, your kids are safe, blah, blah, blah.
Well, Victoria closed early, NSW got into a back and forth with Scomo with the head of the NSW Education board coming out yesterday and said to cancel mainstream education, Marshall has backflipped and is closing early and if you read enough articles on it, chances are they wont be reopening in the same fashion as they are now, they'll be acting as Out of School Hours carers, exactly what I said would happen.
Why do I know this would happen, because I was at that coal face, listening to parents and Educators and came to a logical answer based on what I heard and what I felt as a parent should happen, all the while people like yourself telling us not to rely on Govco to make decisions for us...hello, no one was asking Govco to make the decision for us, we we're all well aware of how it should unfold, unfortunately it took them a while to catch on, all the while suggesting that super spreader in your household hang out with another 30 in their classroom...

Now, im off for the other half hour of my haircut...

Does every thread on this site now need to descend into a war of words on who has the right perspective?

After a couple of back and forths, accept that people have a different perspective to you and be adult enough to ignore it, let them have their say and move on. It takes a bit of effort the first few times, but it soon becomes second nature.

I tend to avoid those threads that dissolve into a tug of war. Problem is there are very few decent threads left now

I blame Faceache for a significant portion of that degeneracy. It definitely plays on the worst in people. Then - as for the transmission of nearly any viral sickness - rapidly infects platforms like this.

Agreed, but to be fair my main commentary on the subject is on matters which I have first hand knowledge of, I'm not taking people to task for kicks.

Fair enough. Learn not to respond to your protagonists. They'll eventually give up, you won't have to continually defend your position, and we'll all benefit as a result.

BTW, the same advice goes to your protagonists. I want to be clear that I'm not just singling you out, BENT_8.

I've had my say. That will be the last on the matter from me. I'm moving on to other things now.

Confirmed that a 3rd has passed away in Vic from COVID-19. Not good.

To be fair, the tread it getting near to the pointy end of proceedings.

You know, that point where many people told you this would happen and many other people argued that it wouldn't happen...

Once this acceptance milestone is achieved we can then move on and figure out how to restart Australia. If anything this tread succinctly resembles the ramblings of old mate ScoMo.

I think we can now safely add wage subsidies to that list of 6 things you wanted to see listed as idea's put forward, scoffed at and now being implemented.

Unions and employers asked Scomo 2 weeks ago to implement a wage subsidy system to keep people in their jobs and reduce the unnecessary layoffs. Scomo said it would be too hard to implement as it would require a new process and would be better to just give people laid off a bonus payment through the existing Centrelink system of which has since crashed and wont be able to help peole for another 4 weeks.
Fast forward 2 weeks and he's now decided that 'hibernation' a fancy term for keeping people on employers books and paying them a subsidy whilst they cant work, is a great idea.

Shadow Industrial Relations Minister Tony Burke said the package needed to be finalised immediately.

"We need the wage subsidy implemented, and we need it implemented urgently. Two weeks ago, when we were arguing this, unions have been arguing it, business has been arguing it, Scott Morrison, as Prime Minister, ridiculed the idea and described it as unworkable. Now, we are pleased that he's come to the table and says that the Government is now working on implementing it."

No, no back flipping to be seen..

Serious talk though: I would volunteer my BA ute with canopy and all the insulated bags I had for deliveries to the elderly, vulnerable or self isolating etc.

No clue how to and I'm probably not wanted as usual.
I'm clean - haven't been overseas since 1997, haven't been anywhere on holiday since 2002, been socially isolated since 2014

There's a Safeway or Coles within 15 minutes of most population centres, get a freezer bag it'll be fine, you don't need refrigerated transport to get your grocery shopping from supermarket to home last time I checked.

Burson/Repco have small hatches as their delivery vehicles running around locally and they don't seem to have these so called boot size issues.

I can fit a roll cab and a tool chest inside my Focus with the back seats down so there goes your excuses.

Speaking of which you're still yet to put forward a suggestion? A lot of trying to crap on everyone else's ideas without putting forward suggestions.

You're the guy in the stands throwing rotten tomatoes at the guy with the sword in the arena.
