eveyone in the regions are firearms owners, but unlike you guys in the city we are responsible with our guns, we keep them locked up in a gun safe and don't go around shooting people like you guys in the city

Yeah, you just post about shooting people on forums :rolleyes: Maybe you need to check that "fit and proper person" requirement then.

well It's predicated on the collapse of civilisation as we know it, if you came onto our property desperate needing help and willing to follow instructions, we would help you of course, but if you came in like you own the place helping yourself to whatever you want, we would shoot you in the face. seems perfectly reasonable for a fit and proper person wouldn't you agree.

P.S If it's the misses aiming at you, your safer if you keep still, she couldn't hit the barn door at 20 paces

not particularly - if you are a licensed owner, (which you didn't actually answer) - posting crap like that never helps anyone in the licensed firearm community. If you honestly believe us "guys in the city" don't have firearms legally and responsibly secured and "go around shooting people" you have a very warped sense of reality.
To the point you sound like you're the last one that should have firearms around them.

yes yes, lots of guns, but I need them, why do you have a firearm living in the city. If you really want to go down this path, what types and calibre do you own and for what purpose

"Are you talking to me punk. Well are you."

In Chicago, 2,249 people have been shot this year. That is 695 more than 2019.

Data through Wednesday, July 29 2020

The Chicago Tribune crime team tracks shooting victims in Chicago.

I live in the city, have a firearms licence, along with firearms. The rest is my business only.

Surely not turnleft, can this possibly be something else we agree on :)

Sorry Xeptu I fluffed my lines, I'm sure this guy can do it better. Good night mate.

The guy is a gastroenterologist, not a professional in infectious viral respiratory diseases nor is there any evidence he has personally treated any number of COVID patients. This treatment only killed SARS-COV-2 in a petri dish in a lab at a dosage level too high for to human consumption. No proper clinic trials have been conducted (bar from a poor quality study conducted in Bangladesh of all places) and actual infectious diseases clinicians and researchers in this country have stated in that article that there’s no evidence the treatment at a dosage level safe for humans would be effective. So essentially he’s a quack (in this regard) selling unproven snake oil just like all the Hydroxychloroquine quacks.

And have a think why he went on one of the most ridiculous programs on TV, Sky News’s Outsiders, to sprout this rubbish. This untested snake oil treatment is only being pushed by the usual media loons like Rowan Dean and Miranda Devine. But of course it’s all just a secret conspiracy by the pro-vaccine lobby or Marxists hell bent on destroying our economy or whatever nonsense these garbage peddlers decide to sprout today......

Respectfully Dr Dre, there’s an awful lot of ad hominem, appeals to authority and straw man in your argument.
You may well end up being correct that Ivermectin in conjunction with zinc and an antibiotic, as stated by Dr Borody, proves to not be effective. Time will tell. I personally think that any potential treatment should be vigorously pursued until it proves to be ineffective. After all, I am continually told this is about “saving lives”.

I pose these questions for the casual reader in response to Dr Dre’s post above:

Is Dr Borody only able to discover treatment protocols in gastroenterology? Are treatment protocols in Respiratory diseases rendered useless if found or administered by doctors from another specialty?
Don’t all treatment protocols begin life by demonstrating efficacy in a petrie dish?
Is the efficacy of a drug determined by which news or opinion outlet gives it airtime? Would the drug work if The Project or CNN interviewed Dr Borody?

100% spot on,drive down wages,drive down conditions,gets the votes from all in the community who listen to the union bashing companies & governments.
They like the glory but avoid the questions later.

you obviously didn't bother watching the interview because that's not what he said at all. You're conflating the Ivermectin study(s) against his claimed actual treatment of people. He's said the dosage level can be reduced and remain effective by mixing it with Zinc and another antibiotic. Calling him a quack is disingenuous and once again you're playing at character assassinations instead of addressing the facts being put forward. He's a professor with proven credentials and treatments, apparently quite famous for revolutionary treatment of stomach ulcers. The bloke obviously has some idea what he's talking about. If his claims have any basis, given they are on EXISTING therapies why the hell wouldn't we give it the benefit of the doubt and research them further? If he's wrong then so be it. But you're saying since the interview was done on Sky News with Rowan Dean so it all must be some far right loonacy so we should ignore this guy and a potential treatment for something currently having catastrophic impact on the world? Try detaching from your partisan view on the world once every now and again.

The rate of casualisation of the workforce in Australia has been steady for about 20 years, around 25%.

Without these employment opportunities, the unemployment rate would be higher.

I agree though, this minority will have to go to work sick at times just to put food on the table. Be it flu or Covid.

It all depends on how you compile stats to get statistics.

For both men and women there has been a surge in permanent part-time employment in the past twenty years—more than quadrupling for men and more than doubling for women. Casual part-time employment also grew strongly for men—up by 326,000 or 96 per cent.

Labour hire is not mentioned in that report, certainly been a growth industry in aviation over the last 20 years. They should be counted as casual employment, but they are not employees.

When I look back over the last 20 odd years, most of the people were in full time employment. Casual employment was the domain mostly for children and students & part time the domain of mothers mostly. Today is a very different picture, Full time is uncommon as in an open ended contract, 2-5 year contracts are very common, contractors are very common, casual still students with a strong mix of working visa holders. Outsourcing in aviation has increased and I expect that is the same in other areas.

I expect it is only 25% because the way the numbers were counted.

Fair enough it might be higher than reported as you say due to the method of counting.

Part time and labour hire would have sick leave provisions though, wouldn't they ?

NSW health has two lists, one for “isolate and get tested immediately”, and one for “monitor symptoms”. I know some people working casually in aged care, if they visit ANYWHERE that has had a Covid case, they have to isolate for 14 days, and because they are casual that’s two weeks unpaid.

Say you have a household reliant on a single casual wage. What percentage of workers are going to do the right thing after they’ve lost a few weeks pay?

Labour hire NO in most cases in aviation anyway, (Independent contractors)

This link states that the ABS changed how they count things a few years ago.

Also for interest from 1990 to 2002 the average labour hire growth per year was 15.7% (no sign of slowing), the bulk of these are/should be casual employees of the labour hire firms.

Closed boarders are a big problem for these employees - 2 weeks no pay + hotel quarantine costs + no job security.

Borders open SA/Vic NOT SA POL flying down the border as we speak MIA to MGB at 200 knots hoping to see people hotfooting into SA from COVIC-20 lol.
People in the 40 k buffer zone like Nelson now prohibited under SA Police orders!
Oddly enough Rex in and out ML MTG daily and SH101 doing some arnav at YHML after coming in from Tassie via EN yesterday?
So some pilots have flying gigs!

Looks like S28- BE’s writing style is rubbing off on others!
