But I've had the vaccine, there's plenty of it, just people don't want it, luckily the outbreak has reversed the hesitancy. Do try to keep up.

You really need to get a grip, your anger management techniques are failing.
By the way, if you hadn't noticed, it's your government too, you sad little man. ?

I've actually been everywhere in W.A, many, many times. I lived in Dampier before Karratha was built, around the time that 'Red dog' the movie was set in, when the Mermaid Hotel was built.
Then lived in the Goldfields, Lived in Exmouth, the SW and Perth, worked for Regional power stations for a while, so yep there isn't many places I haven't had a beer in.
Done the Anne Beadell, the Canning, the great central road six times, been to the Israelite Bay telegraph station, the Bungle Bungles, Wolfe Creek crater, Lake Ballard Statues, Gwalia(stayed in Hoover House), Niagara dam, done the Nullarbor about 16 times twice on a motor bike, surfed Yallingup when sunrise surfboards were made there, so thinking of somewhere new locally, is a problem.

The closest thing I've had to a Morris 1100, was a 1275 Mini Cooper S, the Morris 1100 S actually had a 1275 motor in it also.
The only way you could tell the motors apart was the Morris had 12 head studs, the Cooper S had 12 head stud plus one head bolt.
I actually completely rebuilt the Cooper S, bored it out to 1310, put in Kolbenschmidt high compression pistons a 23/64 cam and replaced the twin SU's with a 45mm weber two barrel side draft, it would have made the trip o.k. :cool:

How's your bucket list going? Done much with your life, other than be a keyboard warrior?
By the way another couple of places that are worth dropping into, if your Hyundai excel can get you there is, Palm Springs near halls Creek and Koonalda homestead petrol station on the Nullarbor.?
But realistically, as the only way you will see the State, will be from a Donga. When you are at Telfer, do a trip to Carawine Gorge.
Best we get back on thread. :xyxthumbs

I find its the people you travel with more so than the destination but most good places I've be to in the past have been ruined by young people with too much money.
Next destination will be Canada to see family and take the piss out of super nice peeps

Yes well hopefully Canada hasn't gone down Australia's track, where the young know everything and the elderly are there to be abused, otherwise you will end up getting bashed. ?
Seriously, I'm not sure many other countries have followed our lead with education, most still work on the fact that children leaving school still have a lot to learn, as opposed to the Australian model where the children leave school thinking they know everything.
Yet basic punctuation, is actually beyond them. :xyxthumbs
Most places the wife and I go to are away from touristy spots, usually inland, we like the outback, so there aren't that many young people out there.
First time we did the Great Central road in 1992 was in an EA Falcon, to take the four kids their ages ranged from 4 to 14, to see Ayers Rock. Returned via Coober Pedy and the Nullarbor. Another time, we returned via Darwin and the West Coast. The next time returned via Dalhousie Springs, Simpson Desert, Flinders Ranges and the Nullarbor. ;)

The arrogance of Morrison is really breath taking to using public tax payers money to fund elections now refusing to release where the money has gone for job keeper.

So illegal Robo debt pursuit that resulted in around a possible 2000 suicides and smashing lives to throwing almost the equitant of Labor governments funding of recovery GFC (remember the howls of outrage actually building stuff) to this mob throwing money at company profits.

Meanwhile small business keep begging / going to the wall.

Government by corporations for corporations carry on cheering.

They should at least explain why the companies that didn't qualify, get to keep the funds, when those who were busted for robodebt and it wasn't completely their fault, were forced into hardship to pay it back.
I don't understand why Albo backed down, on joining the greens and independents, to force the governments hand with the name and shame.
Pollies are a bloody disgrace IMO, absolutely no moral compass, at least Andrew Leigh is standing firm.

Companies that received JobKeeper to remain secret as government rejects naming them

Big businesses that received JobKeeper will be able to keep the financial support secret, with the federal Coalition rejecting a bid to make it public and the Labor Party backing down from insisting on it.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au
From the article:
Just last week, the shadow assistant minister for Treasury stood in the House of Representatives calling for a transparency scheme, albeit one with a higher threshold.

"We should have a public register whereby every firm with a turnover above $100 million has their details published," Mr Leigh said.

"If you're a firm … getting government handouts to support you through the pandemic, then the Australian public should know about it."
Andrew Leigh has been naming and shaming individual companies pocketing JobKeeper while posting profit increases through social media.

Yes , that was pretty weak.

Trying to curry the business vote ?

He's not going to go very far with his supporters if he does that.

One rule for some, a different rule for others. Classic born to rule attitude.

That said, the one issue I can see is what were businesses told at the time?

If they were told it was to remain confidential (hypothetically since I've no idea if that was actually the case) then as a matter of principle government should stick to whatever was promised at the time.

Just as governments should honour all promises unless there's a major, real change of circumstances which precludes doing so.
