Re: Home amongst the gum trees!
the aussie farmers have oft been criticized for poor management of the land and there was a lot of truth in that way back - but now they are improving in leaps and bounds - if you've never seen an ozzie farmer leap and bound you've missed a great thrill. anyway was watching our weekly farming show - Landline and they were working with a qualified nerd in science and attempting to measure the carbon footprints of all their outputs in their farming - it is becoming a real science of its own these days as we all know the daily belching of the cows releases methane which affects the ozone layer heh? I think they were pointing out that if cows were feed a balanced diet of dried grains etc and not allowed to eat fresh grass then that immediately reduces methane output? does that make any sense? and one of our great icons a iron ore producer and farmer is spear heading all this - Andrew Forest? quite a philanthropist too by all accounts?03-05-2021, 04:08 PM

Re: Home amongst the gum trees!
the ozzie govt has now decided to disallow dinkie di ozzies with dinkie di passports to come back into the country from abroad and it is beginning to cause a stink! - the passport says in simple terms this document grants me the power to re-enter Australia. However the govt have invoked a separate clause that says "not in a pandemic you can't" it would appear that this will now be challenged in the high court of OZ to start with anyway arguing that it is illegal to do so? wait to see this space!

Re: Home amongst the gum trees!
well I think there's a challenge being whipped up with the aid of no less than that whiz bang aussie barrister now residing in the UK you know who's married to Ruby someone? - It will be a fight between - "the right to reside and enter" and " special circumstances - a danger to the health of the nation"??06-05-2021, 01:24 AM

Re: Home amongst the gum trees!
I doubt if it will be free why should it they a fee payments customers - how do you think they got there? - the total is estimated at 9000 but I think 900 for first haul so should take a few years to get through that unless the virus miraculously disappears [any chance of that?] or the numbers miraculously reduce?? Yes they are all OZ passport carrying citizens but you must form a queue and follow 'normal' quarantine regulations - and hotel quarantine has proved to be extremely problematic and dangerous - bloody quarantine hubs right in the middle of cities fgs!08-05-2021, 12:00 PM

scheme, not an evacuation scheme don't you think ??
If they are all passport holders, then what is wrong with testing for the
virus BEFORE flying them home and maybe testing again on arrival ??
The ones in India that test positive must stay there untill they
recover,( or die, only •02% ?) so shouldn't be a problem ??
