The Down Under Lounge

^ There was a petition circulated for him not to attend his high school reunion.

A person who works for FriendlyJordies was arrested by a counterterrorism unit. Let that sink in. A police unit used to track down terrorists is used by the Deputy Premier of NSW to harass the staff of a journalist-comedian.

I saw that...... Morrison's Govt. is trying to be like some other country.

Also CHARITIES will be deregistered if they are too critical of the government. Make of that what you will.
 
Interesting turn of events on the friendlyjordies youtube channel

Well why not. Both Labor and the Libs had a go playing party games mid-term, it's only fair that the Nats get to try it out too

Indeed. It's all morbidly amusing.

Also every other PM that has visited the Queen sat down in the chair opposite her why the heck did Morrison have to stand over her and make all that look so awkward?
 
Well even the Queen of England must bow before the Chosen One

I hope that was sarcasm because our current PM is a bit of a diick.

Also our wonderful government is going to deny UNESCO spot for the Great Barrier Reef on a list of endangered places, a fact people have known since 2016 also the year I found these videos

Our PM sees himself as God's Instrument on earth, here to lead the sheep out of the wilderness. What "Queen" dares compare herself to this Scion of the Lord
 
I was talking to a family member who lives on the Mainland and the fact that Tasmania has not had a Covid case this year came up. She retorted ‘that is because Tasmania won’t take international returns and she started bitching that Tasmania has not pulled its weight.

This annoyed me. Tasmania did not take international returns for the majority of last year because we did not have a viable international airport to do so. Technically the airport became the Hobart International Airport in 1983 but we only got 2 international flights a week from New Zealand and those stopped in 1998. Then we had 23 years of no international flights at all and thereby missed out on a lot of international tourism.

Before Covid the airport was being upgraded to become an international airport again with the plans to resume flights from New Zealand and have regular flights of tourists from China. The first stage of the upgrade was finished in December and the Tasmanian government offered 450 hotel quarantine places.

We received a flight from India with 118 people on board. Quite a few of these people complained about the flight from India to Tasmania being too long and also about the fact that Tasmania was too far away from where they wanted to be. They would have been happier quarantining in Darwin or Perth.

As a result the other flights to Hobart were cancelled and people started complaining again that Tasmanians weren’t pulling their weight.

in April this years flights from New Zealand resumed.

I don't think any reasonable person would have a crack at Tasmania for not taking internationals.

Quarantine and border protection is supposed to be a federal responsibility anyway.

It is but that's now what the Feds want they want to just pass the buck to the States and let them wear the shit.

Todays Age front page congratulating Scummo on a job well done. Like what the fuck has he done?
 
Hide and Seek champion for three days!

They have cut back on international arrivals as things are going well, but theya re going to bring back more stranded people.

Infuriating: a family flew from Indonesia to SA, via a special private service that moves rich people around. How are they actually being allowed in the country??? Two people in the family tested positive.
