SO according to Blackrock Bullet, Ireland couldn't have done any more to mange the virus? Despite the fact that Ireland didn't worry about closing its border, didn't care for Hotel Quarantine, didn't have the stamina to maintain lockdowns and didn't bother with contact tracing. Nope, nothing more co...

Mods, can you please start to moderate some of the more extremist links that the Trump cult members are posting?

It's weird because the other day I was shopping and I had a hankering for some spam. I hadn't eaten it for 35 years perhaps. Anyway I brought some and ate it, it was gross. Faker than I remember.

Is there a holiday that celebrates first Australians? It's going to be a long time before such a day is celebrated if ever. Aboriginal Australians were only granted citizenship and given permission to vote in the 1960's, and as late the 1970's Aboriginal farm workers were still being paid only in a...

“Alexa- show me a circle jerk” What a stupid post. Are posters only allowed to chat about COVID-19 if our country has failed miserably like yours? Are we only allowed to chat about the death and illness, as opposed to celebrating our success? We've made immense sacrifices to get where we are, and I...

Lockdowns got all the publicity, and sparked most of the debate, but the keys to Australia's success in managing the virus have been the various state based contact tracing systems and the state run hotel quarantine programs.

I'd rather see the country split in two down ideological lines than change a public holiday that we've been passionately enjoying since 1994. Wow, 1994? That is almost as old as the All Black haka?

You lot flew here I grew here. Or something. Anyway, interest in Australia Day has dropped off a cliff. Shift the national day to something else. Why not the first Monday of Feb?

Probably easier to substitute their next cycle of roids for it...

Even easier, just tell them they won't get paid if they don't get vaccinated.

TBH, I'm happy with moving the day. I'm a filthy immigrant so what do I know? The division surrounding Australia Day shows what happens when big decisions are made without effective consultation.

But people are dying of many other things yet we are fixated on covid. It is almost a bit perverse this fixation.

Fonzee, if someone incited a mob to ransack Australia's parliament, and kill police officers, I would demand that they face justice regardless of how angry such a move would make their supporters. I can't believe you want the looting of Capitol Hill to be swept under the carpet.

So Fonzee, you believe that people who incite a mob to storm the USA's Capitol building and murder police officers shouldn't face consequences because that might make the mob angry again?
