nice counting lol

Yeah had to do a site visit and swung by Hillarys on the way. The carpark looked like a reasonable Saturday for this time of year with all the empty trailers

Not sure Fisheries have the authority to check or enforce this...... 

Good eye sight to check licenses:)

 Your last line..... no they don't.

 He is trying anything to deflect attention from his appalling early  lack of action and just plain executive incompetence. Yes the WHO were a little slow in actually formally declaring it a pandemic--so what. the writing was on the wall by Chinese New year in January. He was being warned, was not listening. Have you already forgotten his lines from only a short while ago--" it's like only one person out of China" " like magic, one day it will just disappear" " it's just the flu" "liberal hoax" " fake news" ad nauseum. As the fatalities built up. Aided and abetted by his cheerleaders on Fox News and the like, he will be directly responsible, via his lack of early action, for tens of thousands of avoidable deaths. Picking fights with Democrat governors who were struggling with no resources and a rapidly rising death toll.  When this started to take off, I bet that they could go as high as a half-million dead, and I stand by that. This crisis has exposed , to Americans, just how weak and ineffectual their country has become. Just how close to poverty the majority of their country is, how a strong stock market does not actually equate to a strong economy--too many people thought they were the same thing. A corrupted healthcare system which only works for the rich, or those lucky enough to have healtth care attached to their employment. Which ten disappears when you are laid off, as millions have been. They have been divided, and weakened, and he just came along and exploited, and continues to exploit this, for his own ends and the country is far the worse for it. "Coastal elites" vs " the heartland" east vs west, north vs south, Conservatives vs liberals, and that is without even getting into skin colour. Or the Second Amendment. Aided and abetted by a Republican party so far removed from its roots as a laudable political institution, a party only interested in raw power and lining their own pockets.

They are royally fucked, and only just starting to realise it. How has a once great country come to this? They will have fatality rates comparable with 3rd world countries --the sort of places that their Orange Buffoon has referred to as " shitholes" . Trump is doing everything he can to avoid responsibilty, while hpoing that it won't be as bad as it could have been,  whereupon he will claim the " victory" as his. He is a science-denying, lying, theiving, gaslighting incompetent, "fortunate son"  POS who deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life. And that's just for what he did BEFORE he came to office. 

It's been interesting watching the opinions shift on a particular demographic as reality sinks in. I follow the Amercian boating forum THT, massive readership and post volume. Very focussed on the south east and Florida, where they tend to be very conservative. It went from following Trumps lines to "WTF is happening" , and everyone knows someone who has died. In the course of just a couple of weeks. Great wakeup call. 

Oh, and a final thought. When the billionaires want you to go back to work, no matter what personal risk to you, it becomes obvious who makes them their money. You do, and they are screwed without you. Funny how the most "essential" workers are largely the lowest paid. 

 Beer, wine then bourbon mate the truth serum, 4 nights ahead woooo

 bullshit isnt it 

I’m not sure you guys are getting it, this is about our front line services.....

page 5 objective......complete. 

 I want to laugh Johnny but I reckon these C^%^ts are capable of that. Article I read the other day said these idiots need to drop their over competitive attitude for the good of the planet.

 It's definitely run through my mind Hezzy, Yanks with aircraft carriers out of action etc I reckon there'd be a few Chyneee generals rubbing their hands together. 

They have already taken over the country, just have a think about how much they own of Australia, why would they want to use moor earth and most probably wreck some of the infrastructure and loose a few lives.

They have brought the place lock stock and banrrel, and don't blame them, who sells them the factories, the stations the ports, the real estate. The good Australian citizen who gets blinded by the dollars China waves in front of them, and who can blame them. When the government says no you can,t sell them that all the lobbyists descend on canberra and hound the government to do a back flip if they want to  in power.

Its good for the economy we are told all that good foreign investment stuff the people not having access to the great out doors or beaches or rivers.

rant over

Hypothetical yes, but there are still active carrier groups available. Irrespective of what party or who is president of the USA any threatened or attack on Australia will have Beijing turned into a Glass parking lot within hours. Don't forget the subs are active also and cover the carriers ass.

Unfortunately the can of worms was cracked open yesterday. If a footballer living in Perth can drive a truck from Lake Grace to Margs with his surfing gear in tow how can Police stop a sparkie taking a job to install a GPO in Exmouth with his boat in tow?

 Opinions are like arseholes- everyone has one!

Same as mindarie. I have never seen both Boat Ramps so busy. It will get canned after this weekend 

 No ramp rage then?

 "As kong as Social distancing is adhered to' eh ?

Is this where we pretend we didn't see countless small to medium sized craft with 3 or 4 people crammed onboard ? All family members right.. hmm

Said it many many times, fishermen are some of the most selfish people going around.

Hey man don't blame me.

 THIRD global pandemic that shithole has given the world. Asian Flu, SARS and now the Coronavirus.

I will be massively pissed off if the world doesn't react to this with embargos and other restrictions.

Enoughs enough....

Thanks for the link Jason. 

Your double post will help get us to page 5 lol. 

The flogs calling for everything to be shut down will be gutted.
