The family concerned would not be talking howling about their FTB being suspended.

That's the point.

Centrelink would not suspend that payment. 

That's something that you're entitled to, come hell or high water.

It's their welfare payment - whatever it is, that they've missed out on.

There's also childcare subsidy. That's capped at $188k.

Coronavirus has forced politicians out of their ideological comfort zones

Why Karma?
He's relatively young and healthy. He'll be sick for a few weeks and back at work when he's over it. Probably will have built up an Immunity against it.
Showing good leadership, IMO.

Coronavirus update: Europe is new 'epicentre' of the pandemic, Trump declares national emergency, US Masters postponed

Just a few random   thoughts ....

May be   repeating  what's already known. 

PM no longer going to his footy match. 

IS attending the international religious  meetup of Hillsong devotees in Sydney  which has attracted tens of thousands from all over the world.  . , finishing this  weekend  just in time for the 500 limit gatherings he  advises not to take place.    After monday!  

Shudder to think how many may be infected from that.  

The likes of  Dutton and other 'well connected' will always have  access to speedy testing  and NEVER be turned away from ICU. 

If pollies are going to update the  status  of the virus it should always be backed up by our top medicos.  Too many mixed messages.  

At least the  word 'economy ' has not been touted much lately ....unless i've missed it.......as  fact  is it's totally blown   so we have  to live  with it.

LOL - they think bumping elbows & faith will deter the spread.
