COVID-19 exposes the weaknesses in our economy

For decades we rolled along, loosening up our economy, deregulating workplace laws, privatising services and hooking ourselves into global capital flows and supply chains.

In Victoria, it seems beyond challenge that insecure or precarious work caused by the outsourcing of labour has contributed to the second wave of infections: workers with symptoms simply believed they could not afford to knock back a shift. The government has until October, when it delivers the budget, to come up with the first of what will certainly be a series of economic restoration plans. But how bold will it be? That will depend on how much boldness Australians will demand of it.

Our weakness is our naivety towards the CCP. They made the CCP virus in the lab. Read the early warnings more than 6 months ago when global case number was 219. If the world listened and acted quicker, we would have saved much more lives and jobs.

The old crystal ball has let us down again.

Always remember, security is an illusion. The world is run by self-serving fools, and all aspects of society are hanging by a thread at any given moment. There is no safety net.

We need more China help.

I think your argument is harshly judgemental - why would Australians join churches, unions and political parties when all are proven to be corrupt or immoral - why would’nt Australians be individualistic when no one is there to help them - yes in times of disaster but everyday

Yep- media,politicians and the bureaucracy.

There will be more pain and death caused by lockdowns than will ever be caused by corona virus.

You just weren’t looking hard enough before..... (none of us were)
