Auss Gov are complete imbosilse

Cant even get out of the country unless very strict conditions are  met even though other countries are open (knowing Auss gov they dont want to pay for the 14 day isolation )

unemployment is rife - try get a job that you can do civil labouring but they want you to have yrs of experience (not rocket science ) 

businesses are still charging top dollar + (let them burn ) 

fuel nearly $1.50 lt for 95 grade 

tomatoes $7 kilo

Letting so called what ever in but cant get wife here on tourist visa

first world country doubt it - i can get a computer fixed much more easily & cheaper in thailand rather then wieghing up to buy a new one 

 

So it's back to being a penal colony lol.

Who needs Qantas? Should loose the flying roo. Can’t loose Virgin or forget affordable flights 

The problem is Virgin is mostly owned by overseas investors so the OZ government

will not bail them out

Agree with that & would much prefer  any other company then Quantas as they also are a big Nanny on their flights 

I have to add the logic of Australia 

just watched A current of affairs & the way they put it was that a bunch of women could just go out & somehow spend thousands to be maybe house builders & have work (they showed this on a building site )

An interesting conundrum. I am classed by Centrelink and the ATO as resident overseas, so I don't think they can have it both ways. If they want to keep me in Australia, I'd say they would have to amend my residency status.

I'm pretty sure your Oz citizenship trumps your residency.

Best of both worlds.can travel back to Oz and can have exemption to return to his residence here according to Oz Embassy Bangkok

The future is called that for a reason. My crystal ball is in the shop for repair, so I will take one day at a time to see how this all developes. The plethora of fortune tellers is as reliable as watching a slug race.

Is that on their website or have you spoken to them. Curious because I am supposed to go back for an eye operation.

It sèems like the Australian Government have  amended the status of the majority of Australians to "Temporary Detainee". I find it pretty indicative of a Big Brother approach to deny citizens the right to travel to where they want to go and at their risk, if the destination country accepts them. Especially when the returnee would be required to self isolate (and rightly so) on return.

Ambassador mentioned it in his daily video briefing a few days ago, you can find them on the website.

This is not useless as you tried to infer  ....  enough said .... read the story  !!

The head of Australia's largest travel company says the current situation "can't get much worse" as Qantas announced it has scrapped international flights until late October.

But federal Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham has admitted international travel probably won't resume until next year. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/qantas-axes-overseas-flights-until-october/ar-BB15D1PK

Three strong and big macho drunken Aussies raped my brother's daughter in Bali 7 years ago.  Made her feel weak and small among other things.   Not finished with that yet, two died in an automobile accident, one is still breathing.

What, no bubble plans with Thailand, too bad for the Thai's, besides, lots of really nice places to see within Australia, e.g. support your own economy first, as the Thai's are doing at the moment.

 

To add, with what, 6 million low income earners receiving government handouts to keep people employed due to Covid-19, can't see anyone going on holidays for a while, besides Thailand has done enough damage to its tourism industry lately by one particular idiot not having a single clue how to keep his mouths shut.

 

Som nam nah

"support your own economy first, as the Thai's are doing at the moment."

Thai people on a weekend trip brings everything they need with them. They don't spend anything unless they have to and they stay 5-6 persons in the same room. That doesn't help the economy very much.

China will reimburse every country because the virus came from there.

If they close it until 2021 , will they close it immediately again for 2 years when someone gets off the plane and sneezes with a new flu ?

Overkill and it won't last.

It depends on how much pain the average Aussie can suffer economically.  Granted, the "leadership" is no doubt financially insulated which is why they are more then happy to lock their citizens down for the next year or so. 

I always thought Aussies were an independent bunch.  But I'm thinking nowadays, not so much. 

Like Europe they got hit by a worse virus than Covits. The PC Liberal Pox that shrivels the Testicles.

Uhhmm? If the Fed govt of Australia says NO international travel, except for specific, highly scrutinised business, and in-flights with student long-stayers then there won't be ANY travel tourism travel period which will all include strict 14 day quarantine.

It's hard n harsh but the alternative could well be like the US a perfect example today, which is a complete debacle again before our eyes.

If care, and extra care isn't taken then its a reasonable assumption to see hundreds of thousands of Australians dead if they get this wrong. To follow the complete lack of logic and hard science data like the US and Brazil has done won't happen in Oz.   

I honestly think that we will see the world stay as it is because of the next month of stats that are now, and will come out of places like Sth America, Russia, USA, China, and Europe with the onset of autumn and winter not far away. I don't think Prayut will open the borders again anytime soon as he, like us, can see the numbers as they again climb into the thousands a day infected across huge swathes of the world which traditionally supply tourists to his country.

That is correct in a certain class of Thai people, we are a family of 6 but we don't bring all of our stuff, I suppose if your poorer than the middle man, you will bring what you have to, as for 6 in a room, not here, 2 rooms thanks ????

 

The countries that have eradicated it need to take care not to turn into scaredy cats and jump at their own shadow.  

 

Three imported cases in NZ and it a national catastrophe for a week. 

 

Better to accept a low level of cases. Test track and trace aggressively. Surpress local flare ups. And get on with life.

Chocolate Sprinkle fools many folks

It is very very shocking that a western democracy could ban its citizens from leaving the country. Maybe in the Soviet Union, East Germany or some place like that, but I wouldn't expect it from Australia. I am happy that in my country citizens have a constitutional right to leave and enter at all times. It is only up to the destination country to decide if they let the person enter or not.
