I feel this corona shit is getting deeper government needs step it up a gear. I don’t no weather to keep working or pull the pin.
What’s everyone plan’s?
I am still required to work and as I am the bread winner no choice really. Luckily I work outside, mostly by myself so can social distance pretty easy. I agree with you though, the fed govt seem paralysed with either shock or fear or both and are making piece meal announcements every few days about money for this or money for that. There are over 1000 cases now and with the exponential growth that is going to be 10 000 pretty quick.

Let's not even talk about the NSW govt allowing infected cruise ships to dock and disembark into Sydney.

So my plan is to wait and see I guess but I am getting a bit anxious. We found a beautiful little farm, we have been looking for ages but now we are not gonna make an offer.

Thank you @reza92

Like I've said before - standards for Reg's & Reservists are EXACTLY the same when it comes to the Commando Regiments:

Gong to snowball from here is my thoughts.

Im waking up to the first job cancellations this morning. They are having cancellations and putting off casual staff. I expect more cancellations during the week.
Im thinking of working till Wednesday and then bunkering down at home. Have to get the agreement on that with the other house members. Starting to get to unsafe to be out and about and the feds are saying stay home if u can.

Anyone have any info about govt payments to sole traders? There was talk of giving us the dole plus an extra $100, which would be great. But not sure if it came about or is going to happen.

I don't give a Fuck if I get banned
I'll say it here your the only person on riu ive ever wished I could meet I person so I could smash your teeth in if u have any
U and bursto are the most irritating Fuckheads I've come across here
Unless Luke's met you to confirm I'd say your a weak piece of shit
no i havent met them and yes they do feed off each other to wreck and try to derail the thread.
Bursto gees JZS up, JZS says silly things and gets a time out, bursto goes nice until JZS is back and then it starts again. Bursto is a troll.

Talkin with one of me neighbours yesterday an he was tellin me how much he could smell the plants, i said ya not wrong mate on certain days i can smell them from out frnt footpath. Luckly this blokes alright an he lives right next door an his mum lives behind my other nextdoor neighbour so thats 2 outta 5 immediate neighbours i dont gotta worry about but now im tryna come up with a way of coverin the stank however unlikey that may be. Im remwmber that bloke on here with the plant that ended up being male said he once used one of those bamboo scent burners to cover his plants smell.
Do you blokes reckon a few of those burning during the day could help cover the smell i know it wont 100% fix the problem, any thoughts on it?

Edit: Im sure they would be able to be smelt half way down the block if not further

Things are goin to get crazy soon if we go on how the rest of the world is at the moment. Dunno if its stupid or not to think that it wont get bad over here but i think its only a matter of time. Im glad im not in melbourne or any other built up areas for my kids and the mrs sake, but dont get me wrong im not having a crack at ya home town again dusty, i have family scattered threw out melbourne so for them an every one i hope all this blows over fairly quick an we dont get impacted much by this.. Sorry for the rant,
What sort of work you doing?
Construction in the city mostly, I’ll basically work until the shut the schools. Then I’m at home full lock down. My farther in-law is moving in so he can have time off his rent ends in 2 weeks.

Anyone know if this applies to sole traders? My guess is a big fk no.
probably not. It’s to get small business to keep their staff on even if they aren’t getting the regular trade they’d normally see. They haven’t really announced much of the details but to be eligible I can see you having to prove the money is going to help keep staff employed. As sole traders don’t generally have staff I can’t see them being eligible.

yeah fuck being in the us. Hear trump had fired the entire pandemic response team at the cdc and didn’t replace them when he got to office simply because they where appointed by Obama.

Surely sole traders would be able to access the same the same payments that an employee that had been laid off would get?
