Australia is looking for help, they can't help themselves

[Batcat]

Austrailia closed their BORDERS-----to all foreigners. If we had done that without the dems screaming racism, we too would have fewer cases. I remember Desantis specifically stating that the agricultural hispanics were the leading factor in Florida early on. Of course, Australia would also likely have hung Cuomo and the other dems in the public square for taking infected people and purposely placing them in nursing homes to spread the disease around the like Biden has with illegals.

Biden is sending illegal aliens, some with COVID-19, to Florida and DeSantis is trying to intercept the buses and route them to Delaware.

Sounds like a great plan to me as I live in Florida. If Trump can’t run at this point DeSantis is the man. In fact he may be a better choice than Trump as he is not quite as obnoxious.

First, the US and China announced a mega 20-year LNG deal, which China’s Global Times tabloid gleefully observed was at Australia’s expense. Then, at COP26, the US and China revealed that for months they had been working together in secret on a major global initiative to cut methane emissions.​

What a load of commie propaganda.

It seems obvious to me that in Australia the government does not fear the people but the people have good reason to fear their government.

The Australian people don't fear their govt...well not the honest, non-criminal, non-lawbreaking people.
At every election the Right and Left compete with each other to give the people as much free stuff and benefits as they can, hoping for votes.
. 4 weeks annual leave
. 6 weeks before the birth and 6 weeks after paid maternity leave.
. Paternity leave
. 9% of salary paid as superannuation on top of salary by employers
. Unemployment benefits forever if you can't find a job
. Lots of people with families get more in welfare than they pay in tax.
Industrial law.
Gotta love the govt.

Shunned by all, stranded, Australia would just have to mostly live as a commune.
Plenty of coal to burn to stay warm in winter and cool in summer.
Can grow enough food.
Manufacturing could be ramped up.
Wages would fall, no money for imported cars...would have to make its own cars...4 wheels, 2 axles, 4 tyres, steam engine coal fired, seats/leather cushions filled will wool...how hard could it be.
Cotton clothes, leather clothes, wool for clothes etc.
Cricket bats and balls made locally.
Oh happy days.
500,000 camels...they could be bred, a camel for everyone.
There would be some countries willing to trade stuff, there always are.

Some people refuse to be vaccinated, but still expect to be able to work in some industries...and are outraged that they can't.
One is/was a nurse working in an Covid ICU!
Other nurses refused to work with her.
Some paramedics are refusing to be vaccinated.
Aged care workers..."get vaccinated or you won't be able work in aged care facilities"...a deadline was set.
Same with teachers..."No vaccination, not allowed into schools".
As Prime Minister Morrison has stated many times "there is no compulsory vaccination of any type in Australia".
However, if a person chooses not to get vaccinated they have to negotiate society and its vaccination rules.

In my mind it's all fair enough.

That just happens to be true. Or has the US turned down the extra exports to China in a gesture of solidarity with Australia?

If you think the US doesn't have a reputation of leaving its allies high and dry with policy changes, you must be American.

Oh, it's "Chairman Dan" as some call him, the Leftist Premier of Victoria state of which Melbourne is the capital who's causing 'all' the trouble, protests in Melbourne....with the proposed new laws he's trying to get thru the parliament.
Victorians keep electing him in landslides. They were warned by many, but they knew best...now look what's happening...all their own fault.

Controversial pandemic laws are being debated in the Victorian parliament as protesters maintain their presence outside, after several conducted a mock execution of the premier overnight.
Debate on the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill began in the upper house on Tuesday afternoon and is expected to continue until the end of the week.

How would closing America's border's to everyone be racism?

Mini Trump, of course, blaming his stupidity on farm workers, just like his daddy.

In a free nation you should have the right to decide if you want to risk getting a brand new type of “vaccine” that hasn’t been around long enough to determine the long term effects. Perhaps you already have had COVID-19 and are effectively more immune to it than if you were vaccinated. (Note: I have had two injections of the Moderna vaccine and plan on getting a booster shortly. At my age and with my health problems my risk analysis favored taking the vaccine.)

Remember the Swine Flu Vaccine of 1976. For some people it resulted in unexpected side effects.

Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

Learn how mRNA vaccines trigger an immune response against COVID-19.

www.cdc.gov

***snip***

How mRNA Vaccines Work
To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA vaccines use mRNA created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.

The Long Shadow of the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccine 'Fiasco'

Some, but not all, of the hesitance to embrace vaccines can be traced back to this event more than 40 years ago

www.smithsonianmag.com

In the spring of 1976, it looked like that year’s flu was the real thing. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t, and rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn’t gone away.

“Some of the American public’s hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed to the long-lasting effects of a failed 1976 campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus,” writes Rebecca Kreston for Discover. “This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiative, as well as negatively influenced the public’s perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country.”

US edges out Australia for bigger stake of China beef market​

Oct 12, 2021 – 4.46pm​

​

US beef exports to China in July and August were more than the total shipped in all of 2020, prompting Australian exporters to worry that they are being permanently edged out of the market.​

The shake-up of beef suppliers comes after Beijing last year banned imports from several Australian meatworks in a move seen as retaliation for the federal government’s push back against Beijing’s influence.​
