Went to Indian grocer in Toongabbie, grabbed a kilo adzuki beans, kilo chickpeas, 2kg of red lentils, half kilo of raw cashews, half kilo of savoury snack mix, and a few varied masala mixes. got a really good egg curry one that my Mrs recommended, and a daal curry. That with 5kg of rice and my incoming spice resupply should see me through a 4-6 week isolation if it got to that point My bog roll on the other hand may not

If you want to see something somewhat triggering, sites like the Courier Mail have removed the paywall to their covid-19 virus articles which means you can see the comments of lunatics who usually frequent the site. It's like a whole other world of retards. There are people claiming they are going to the beach anyway "because they exercise not sunbake" (14 likes) and people calling the premiers a bunch of hypocrites for saying we need to stay home while they went to events a week+ ago (way to many likes) which I assume they now use as justification to go out and do whatever too. Another good one: > Does anyone truly believe this ALP rabble can steer Queensland through this crisis, thank God for leaders like Morrison and Dutton. Really..

Thinking about it they don’t really have a choice except to raise Newstart for now, a LOT of people have shifted from underemployed to unemployed bc of this and it’s barely started. If they tried to make regular people live on Newstart for any amount of time there’d be blood in the streets before the cricket season
