So whilst people were still choking on smoke and couldn’t find a mask our fantastic Chinese friends were busy keeping the shelves bare and shipping them to China.

If we can’t see the benefit of having a local pharmaceutical and car industry amongst other things then we might as well shut up shop. Now their donating some of the stockpile to other countries to help push an absurd narrative, gee thanks.

Please don’t confuse the actions of the Chinese government and state funded enterprises with ordinary people on the street. We’ve had some shops graffitied locally and a few other incidents that are incredibly unfair and extremely unhelpful.

PS. I might add the Chinese aren’t on their own in competing for vital medical supplies etc in fact it appears to be everyman for himself at present. I just think that it was a particularly ordinary act given the bushfires here and the fact they were Cleary aware of a dangerous virus and still suppressing information vital to the rest of the world.

Heads up about the flu shot, get it while it’s available and before this virus really gets going.

My eldest daughter and her fiancé are booked in for tomorrow around 1, the surgery will call at 10 to confirm they still have doses. It’s $20.00 a shot for the private stock and no charge for the consult, at least that’s what I was charged.

they are just plain silly. if they don't take a substantial cut like 805 or even more. noone will have a job in the afl! they just don't get it. nevermind the fact that unemployment in australia will probably hit 30 % or more
 
Mum lost her job :(

Wish this thing would just end.

They aren't silly. Over half the players are on $50,000. They won't survive on a 80% pay cut.

I get some players are on hundreds of thousands a year, but we have to make sure rookies in their first year or players 35-40 on each list are also taken care of.

worded over in WA footy circles is dangerfield and the AFLPA are going to throw them to the wolves anyways

instead of coming down with a pay cut next year, which would affect the players at the top end, they wanna just reduce the list size. to get the money down.

bye bye rookies. bye bye fringe players, bye bye some of the speculative draftees.

but old mate fyfe can still collect his 1 million a season. a bloke who's so far removed from footy over here, it's not funny. atleast nic nat still has a strong connection to his feeder club and footy.

They need to stand firm, 80% pay cut! Get out of here. As you mentioned not all of them are on huge contracts. And just because they're well paid, doesn't mean they don't have substantial financial commitments.

They should stagger it like we do the tax bracket. Up to 80k and there's no drop. $80k-160k is 20%. $160-260 is 50%.
I haven't bought any real thought into the actual figures, but I think that method would be more fair in not punishing the guys who don't get paid much to begin with.
