Ya not wrong

The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, has triggered a wave of revulsion by telling citizens to stop “whining” about a coronavirus outbreak that has killed more than 260,000 people.

..........“Stop all this fussing and whining. How long are you going to keep on crying?” Bolsonaro asked supporters in the midwestern state of Goiás, where nearly 9,000 people have died

Government to slash domestic airfares to get more Aussies to holiday at home

good government

cant pay the poor a decent weekly payment

but can pay people to go on a holiday

I don't feel giving a discount on the airfare is paying people to go on a holiday when you add up the rest of the costs involved.

I recently looked at car hire which has doubled in price in the last 12 months. A 3 day car hire in Cairns would set me back $500 compared to the hotel which was only $330. Airfares on sale are normally around $150 per ticket and are currently around $200 depending on dates so not much of a saving if they drop 50%.
