And where exactly do you think banks get money to lend? From people. No one is going to deposit savings in banks to lend in this world if you are now also legislating against large interest rate rises. If the risk of losing your loans is high then you need very high interest rates to encourage people to lend. You are trying to break natural laws of economics by controlling too many variables. Its impossible.Not necessarily, If you nationalise banks and legislate the lending criteria.
We can only dream. Fat chance with a religious nut as pm.Remove tax exemption on religious entities...
If the best people in a field are teaching it then that field isnt really needed.None of the top performing kids at my school had ambitions or went on to be teachers. Needs a change up.
Why are teachers getting shat on here?
It's one of the most underpaid careers I can think of. They're charged with managing a bunch of kids, paid peanuts (for a management position), and are accountable to the parents of those special little princes and princesses.
They put in plenty of time outside normal working hours attending meetings, correcting work, preparing for classes, and communicating with parents.
Thanks but no thanks. Those two weeks of refining putting are well earned afaic.
Some interesting points in here, I'm in ShanDog 's corner on this one, eventually there'll be a return to normal and here in Australia we'll largely return to a liberal democratic western free enterprise society.
In saying that I think it'll be more regulated i:e for the purposes of more equity or if you will more accessible for all to 'free enterprise'. So a little bit of socialism (societal regulation) in certain sectors to ensure it or in other words make 'free enterprise' more accessible through more efficient regulations.
With what we have now, nearing police state I seriously doubt even the most ardent socialist fan would be happy continuing with these freedom restrictions.
I see the government of the day when we are able to return without virus reprisal to 'normal', whenever that is, will sell to the public more a more regulated structure in the name of efficiency to allow 'freedom of enterprise' an easier path to it for those who find it near impossible now. More of the population that is able to access it and excel equals growing the economy.
Local manufacturing is going to skyrocket, that's already beginning. Globalism will slow dramatically further driving local manufacturing - particularly a nation as isolated as ours. Relaxing 'free enterprise' hurdles with further drive this as a result.
Innovation will be the new black, all sorts of wonderful ideas and inventions will be borne of this. This may relax such thing like patentry hurdles i:e more accessible free enterprise.
Perspective will have more relevance, things like frivolous arguments from defence lawyers for obviously guilty clients and getting them off on 'technicalities' that hamstring magistrates to overrule on absurd trivial bull s**t for example. Not overly confident in this though.
By extension, the more valued in society will hopefully and rightly be more valued in pay instead ridiculously low wages like nurses compared to those lawyers for example. A welcomed societal shift if you will.
Societies like China are going to further regulate their populations to ensure they get the lions share as a result of less foreign trading as a result of this pandemic. Many many businesses and states large and small will cease or lessen trading with China for more than just economic reasons. They'll probably be hit hardest of all from this.
The solution for blanket criticism of teachers is to put those critics in charge of a room of 30 teenagers for a day and see how they get on.
Wow...
That old clanger.
The solution of blanket criticism of cleaners is to make you clean 50 dirty toilets a day and see how they get on. Point?
They did three years of one of the easier degree's.
They work shorter hours than anyone, and they don't need to have their mobile on them whilst on their many holidays. Sorry marking papers simply doesn't even cover their short workdays, let alone their many holidays. ( why do they need to have curriculum days and the like AFTER school goes back , union i guess ).
Some of them are good , some of them are crap. Like any spread of Individuals.
There is actually a bit of a crisis where many of the teachers don't understand the maths and science they are meant to be teaching.

because people consider teachers as baby sitters these days
look at the complaints about remote teaching, its all about the fact that they are stuck at home with their kids, and its now their job to enforce discipline on their kids
We have a new BF maxim. Any thread with corona or covid in the title would rather run agendas than actually discuss the title
I merely highlighted an article discussing the idea which referenced its successful application in Germany - following WW2And where exactly do you think banks get money to lend? From people.

How would it work?
Consideration of a probate tax would get my support.
CAUTION:
Kerry Packer made this point on taxation before a Senate committee & its applicable today:
..... if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read, because as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra!"
Kerry Packer was a piece of s**t.
His work in cricket was exemplary
* Government spending is going to be slashed to make up for this. Expect layoffs and many free public services to be reduced
* GST will increase as a means to pay for this massive economic bailout. So expect to be paying an extra 5% for everything in 12 months time
* People will become tighter with their spending. So expect the economy to take years to get back to where it was a few months ago.
* I don't know if retail will ever recover to be honest. retail has been on a big downturn for quite a while due to online shopping. Now almost every person will be online shopping I can't see many people going back. Most retailers will move online
* Companies will reduce office sizes, more hot desking and more people to be encouraged to work from home
* The Australian borders I can see being closed for 12-24 months, so forget your overseas holidays for a while.
* Governments will look at a way to become more insular countries and self dependent and not be so reliant on other countries for necessities (ie medical supplies being developed at home). Will be interesting to see how this can be done economically
Why aren't businesses expected to have funds to cover rainy days like poor people are?You left off the most obvious...
Work Choices III.
Scummo foreshadowed it today in his presser.
"Business are going to need..."

Oh right, you gotta villify someone and it'll never be business so it has to be the poor or coloured people. Or even better, poor, coloured people.
I love the ******* right-wing English immigrants on this board who think they're better than other coloured immigrants. They're really the exact same.
ScoMo implementing a 6 month ban on landlord evictions (fine in my opinion) so landlords now rushing to immediately evict any tenant who is a little lagging on their rent.
Do you have any proof of landlords rushing to evict people before the laws are passed?ScoMo implementing a 6 month ban on landlord evictions (fine in my opinion) so landlords now rushing to immediately evict any tenant who is a little lagging on their rent.
