    like in any global recession, tourism takes a hit.
    If however the world goes into a major economic depression, which is highly likely, tourism and other discretionary (luxuries) spending goes through the floor.
    Demand drops and this will of course impact on pricing.
    However as paddoboy alluded to, it is better to have some than none (tourism)
    Also there are many other benefits of creating an Oceania safe haven.
    One being the work force required in Agriculture in Australia. Many of such workers come from Oceania regions and provide their families back home with much needed dollars which helps maintain sovereign relationships and local economies.

    Quite factual that, as I know many Fijians that did/do the same thing.
    And on top of that, with their natural talent for playing Rugby [League and Union] and the incredible money that is played to those good enough for the NRL competition, some of those so contracted to Sydney/Queensland clubs, are altering and benefiting entire Fijian villages.

    Yesterday 2 cases in NSW and 1 in Victoria.
    Despite the bloody mindedness of the right wing sky news nonsense, Danial Andrews has persisted and shown the way.
    Lockdown restrictions have been now eased somewhat, and the likely South Pacific bubble looks a real goer, at least by December I hope! Fiji, here I come!!
    Again world wide air travel still seems way off
    Great job Daniel!!!

    It now appears that much of Europe, Ireland and Wales are deciding into going into forced lockdown to halt the incredible amount of rising cases.

    There is not a hospital system in the world that will be able to cope with what can be expected in the UK, Europe by Christmas. As soon as the hospitals are over whelmed the death toll goes up hugely.
    People generally have difficulty comprehending why lock downs are so necessary, but as soon as the health professionals call it quits and stay at home I guess they will have to come to terms with reality. Too many have sacrificed their lives and families for the community and still we have wankers protesting about social distancing requirements.

    I am reminded yet again that the one key issue the governments are not talking about is the issue of insurance and how difficult and expensive work place and entertainment venues will find it to insure against public liability, and work place safety. (both legally required in Australia)
    If the government can not instill confidence in the insurance industry then most places where people gather in groups will simply not open. Lockdowns or not is not the actual issue when it comes to economics, Insurance and potential litigation is. IMO

    Havent read all the replies so not sure if anyone mentioned this
    But
    US has over 200 biowarfare labs in many diferent countries
    Why?


    Covid virus apeared shortly after Tramp declared Trade WAR on China,quite a coincidence
    Also its a common knowledge that US is the worlds greatest terrorist,
    you can conclude who is responsible for the Virus,yes

    Interesting
    ,yet Tramp KNEW the virus is DEADLY and did nothing to advise people to wear protection like Chinese did


    Meanwhile
    World Health Organization declared world wide emergency ,how many countries took it seriously?

    the PRC has no claim to taiwan. rebel factions that don't knock off what they rebeled from don't get to claim what they weren't able to conquer

    Taiwan is a republic of China
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

    US has a tradition of interefering in internal afairs of many nations,for financial gains,
    properly caled stealing
    China never invaded atacked or bombed any other country like US did
    Remember Vietnam,Iraq,Venezuela,Yugoslavia,and many others,?

    China does the oposite, they build roads,bridges infrastructure helping poor nations to become richer,yes even US,
    many milions of Americans make good money in China

    Unfortunately US media spreads Fake news about China simply bc we cant compete and we need some enemy somewhere to justify spendin mo money building arms weapons etc

    Printing more money is unsastainable and increasin nation debt will be our downfall

    Chinese imperialism

    the not a

    so have lots of countries. you have the same problem as smelzer does. you have vastly different standards of behavior for the US and the autocrats you defend.
    i mean only if you ignore tibet, turkestan, south vietnam, vietnam, india, taiwan, and the USSR

    if you think china is making poor countries richer i got a bridge in brooklyn to sell you.
    whatever lies and bs you need to tell yourself so you can feel good about defending autocrats.[/QUOTE]

    Bet you didnt know that
    Tibet was ruled by Dalai lama who declared themselves living gods and lived in luxury by making poor people work as serfes,slaves and tortured maimed or kiled anyone oposing such.

    Mao liberated Tibet from these evil rulers improving poor people lives,dont believe me go visit china



    Are you old enough to know what US did in Vietnam? Look it up so you dont sound like typical UNeducated murican
    Taiwan is China teritory no amount of western BS will change that

    USSR is Chinas friend nowaday,chinese Silk road initiative proves it.
    No idea why you mention India its a poophole literaly with caste system like some kind o kingdom and its people jelly o china succes

    Chinese imperialism



    Domt know Why West is complaining about China helping Africa
    When Amerika did fk all for them

    you are only proving my point, you are literally defending the invasion and annexation of a sovereign country



    again as i tell your fellow fascist schmlezer the crimes of one does not negate the crimes of another. not to mention the chinese conflict with veitnam lasted longer than americas.
    the PROC has no valid claim to taiwan. it is however the sovereign territory of the ROC.

    nice moving goal posts. still doesn't change the fact they you did the whole bombing thing you claimed they didn't
    you mean other than the literal armed conflict you pretended didn't exist so you could lie and claim china is peaceful.
    nice racism.

    nice propaganda, they aren't helping in africa they want the resources there, also if you are going to call anyone uneducated perhaps learn how to spell. you only proved my point with this lazy bs ridden joke of a reply
