White House blocks Dr Anthony Fauci from testifying to Congress on coronavirus response

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-02/white-house-blocks-fauci-from-testifying-on-coronavirus-respo...

remember the slogan

beware the commies under ya bed?

trump is turning the USA into a comunist country and the people cant see it LOL

the police are daily arresting citizens NOT breaking the law

the govt works behind a shield of secrecy

its a real worry where its leading to, when hes got his fingers on nukes!

There is nothing communist about Trump or the GOP.  Fascist dictatorship is more like it.

Is jobseeker coronavirus suppliment tax free ?

Jobseeker is treated the same as the old dole and is not tax free although if it is the only income a person has it is below the tax threshold anyway.

However the article is about Jobkeeper which is definitely NOT tax free....the only concession is that it is GST free.

Probably the crisis will not drag on for a year anyhow - would be nice if the suppliment became permanent , then only 20% under the poverty line ...
