Those f#ckers always have a ‘get out of jail free card’ and escape the pain that everyone else goes through. I don’t recall Morrison, Turnbull, Rudd, Keating, Hawke, Howard, Abbott, Gillard , Whitlam, Frazer, Holt or others fighting in a trench in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan, do you? Gutless finger pointers who don’t feel the effects of bad decisions. Parasites sitting in their ivory towers in fantasy land of Canberra. Let’s put them in the Centrelink que, take away half of their super and destroy their careers and future. See how they like it.

Mate, I get that you're hurting and angry. But locking the country down will save thousands of lives. It's the right thing to do - even if it sucks for us.
We're in a pretty privileged position as pilots. We get paid a lot. Multiple times the average income (and more than most politicians). We earn enough to save for a rainy to day, unlike thousands of hospo workers, cleaners and the like. We get to sit this out at home (or stacking shelves) while the doctors and nurses and police put their lives on the line to save others. Bizarre though it is - I can actually feel for some of the politicians right now, who are under the pressure of making massive decisions that will affect millions of people in Australia, without any manual or checklist.
Now's the time to support and look out for each other, however we can.
