In Jan 2021 the said the then new rule "is a backward step". And now the NRL is considering mandatory stand-downs. While the sports have "the players' interests at heart", be aware there's a Federal Parliament Senate Inquiry currently on.

Thanks so much to the Australian High Commission in Nairobi for getting this to me so quickly and for your professionalism and efficiency. As for our "honorary consulate" staff in Kampala, who were two and three hours late, with one of them arriving just in time for their 1.5 hour lunch break (also repeatedly absent), didn't give me all the info, and use a Gmail address, they should not have jobs. Other Aussies here have also described them as "useless".

If only had a government with sole authority to issue Australian dollars, to fund whatever is needed.

The Queensland and NSW flood victims might have expected that to be the role of : to use its sole currency issuer power to generate whatever Australian dollars are needed for recovery and rebuilding.

Oh well, it seems there's no money for that (?) and so a GoFundMe is the best they can come up with.

Australia's Prime Minister is in denial; the can't run out of Australian dollars.

“We’ve invested hundreds of billions of dollars getting Australia through this crisis. But we’re now in a stage of the pandemic, where you can’t just make everything free because when someone tells you they want to make something free, someone’s always going to pay for it and it’s going to be you.”

Your irregularly-scheduled reminder that is the sole source of Australian dollars.

A Federal government deficit is *where our money comes from*: it didn't exist before, govt signs a spending bill, and now the money exists for us to access.

If the AU govt is in financial surplus, *all of that is private debt* owed to privately-held financial institutions.

And that's why the obscenely wealthy endlessly screech to reduce govt deficit: that forces us all into debt to them.
