Don’t forget the road toll.
By the end of March, 286 people had died on Australia’s roads, almost 4 times the Australian Coronavirus death toll. So let’s ban driving until we reduce that total to a more acceptable level!!!

I agree that this bull**** has to stop before the cure kills more people than the disease.
These lockdown laws are increasing the death toll amongst the young in our communities.

Nobody wins here, Carpet bombing the nation to protect the people might sound plausible but at the end of the day we have mostly healthy people now living in a terminally ill ecomnomy!
RIP common sense!

and the Fed is only just getting started!

Agreed!! They are kicking the can further down the road. Meanwhile the bubble grows, and grows, and grows.....When it bursts (and the cracks in the dam wall are growing) 40+ years of fiat money and inventive ‘monetary’ policy is going to be very ugly. The GPWS has been sounding for a while now. Brace brace brace.

Branson is not coming to save the airline.
Which makes his video lampooning the Federal Government for not bailing out his airline even more offensive.

Maybe play his cheque ripping stunt in reverse?

Add to the list WHO and pharmaceutical companies. They are married together. Drugs are designed to maintain your illness. If they were designed to cure you they would all go broke.
i.e. drugs suppress your immune system your saviour to defeating all bad bacteria and viruses. If people realised this the
only reason you would need to go to hospital is for lacerations and broken bones. Your body heals the rest. Why are we the sickest species still on this planet? Pets are our 2nd sickest because we feed them tin and packaged food.
The healthiest is our wild animals. When was the last time a giraffe, hippo, tiger, or lion ate junk food and dropped in to the local chemist to lower their high blood pressure or cholesterol.
They use the planet resources to have a healthy life so should we. Sorry getting angry frustrated back to saving an airline which we will.

Well this just came out 24 hours after my post BS hey goto 7.45 their's your typhoid fixed.

What a load of BS.....If your premise was true then why aren't millions in the developing world "still" dying from Malaria, Typhoid etc? The majority of people who live with long term illnesses or diseases are due to life style changes not some fake ass Vaccine conspiracy. Big pharma doesn't need to come up with a sophisticated scam to make people sick, people do it to themselves by making Burger Kings, KFC, Mc Donalds a regular part of their diet, accompanied these highly nutritious meals with a lovely high fructose diabetic cocktail called Coke and then topping it off with cancerlicious relaxing dose of nicotine!!

That explains where all the aluminium foil went...

Doesn't explain the toilet paper though...:}

$6.9 billion to 10,000+ Creditors
 

ABC article on the ASX today link: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-...oints/12180628

So that's now around 2 billion more debt than the previous estimate?

That's almost 40% more than the publically canvassed figure of $ 5 billion and is an awful lot of debt to manage through a voluntary administration.

Is there a credible ASX link to the $6.8 B referenced here?

$450M employee entitlements. Does this figure assume redundancy provisions? It’s around 50k per employee.

It will be very difficult to manage this through a restructure, given the true debt level may rise above $7 billion. Unless there is some very creative thinking about solutions, that would make receivership almost unavoidable.

$7Billion is a long way from $5Billion this is looking terminal under the current conditions.

Wow, last week we were told the debt was $4.8B, now we are told it is $6.9B. We know Scurrah asked the taxpayers for $1.4B. Now we learn there were a total of 9 requests. He kept watering the $1.4B amount down after being continually rejected until his last request was for $200M. WTF !

Just to prove Scurrah did not have a clue about the Virgin dilemma he stood in front of staff on 06/11/19 saying things such as we run a strong airline. The reality being not only were the liabilities much greater than the assets but the total annual revenue was less than the debt. Scurrah even purchased VA shares and bonds in November 2019. He must have been tempted by the unsecured 8% per annum.

I now understand the number of interested parties has dwindled in numbers.

“And the 2020 Darwin Award goes to...............”

I never have liked this weasel.

Perhaps he he should listen to his own loud mouthed advice!
