Anyone who has been paying close attention would know that the IPA (see title) ran a video a few days ago in which one its current gormless "I'm just waiting for pre-selection by the Libs" youngsters [geez, I wonder how much Roskam smarts over still being there] advocated for an immediate reduction of COVID-19 restrictions, all in the interest of not killing the economy and avoiding the unemployed killing themselves. [Note how this advocacy kindly puts into the minds of the unemployed that they will soon be contemplating this.]
What I want to know is this: the IPA's takes over the last couple of decades have virtually all been traceable to funding sources - the support of the tobacco industry, climate change denial, kill the ABC, etc.
Which of the current funders would be pressing a line that they know better than experts when it is safe to reduce restrictions?
I suspect Gina Rinehart would - she has a family background of generic nutty ideas and is still devoted to climate change denial. It is bad for business. But it would be good to know who else. Has Rupert made any statements to anyone? It is very suspicious.
Anyway, about the only media outlet reporting on the IPA video that I can see is The Australian. Of course it would.

The IPA had only one person who was any good at what he was writing about and that was Ron Brunton.
bloody idiots. I'm done with the babyfaced bozos
I think we should open back up just as soon as we can get everyone wearing a mask all the time. Mossad has confessed to stealing medical equipment all over the world. Which sounds like the usual plea bargain to me. Confessing for a lesser crime to create the impression that they are not guilty of far more sinister stuff.
If the masks are available and mass-produced the unemployed will be able to afford them within two weeks of their pay rise at the end of April. So I think if we have the masks we should end the home detention around then.
I don't see how masks would help with restaurants (people need to open their mouths), gyms (sweat), massage, basically a lot of other things. it's masks plus social distancing so there would still need to be a lot of shutdowns, Graeme
anyway they did say this would be revisited once the curve got flatter which looks to be the case now. hopefully
Masks only help if you have the virus. If you are 1.5 metres away from a person who has it you won't get it even if they cough.
If you touch your mask before washing your hands it is easy to get the virus.
CIS was much much better than the IPA however they have learnt no lessons from the GFC . Sad I had a lot of time for them in the past. Some unknown guy named Soon wrote a good paper on de-regulating the taxi industry proving again the only thing in life is death a taxis! get it
Homer at least 20-25% of cases may be asymptomatic. that's why masks seem to have reduced transmission in asian countries where everyone wears them. unintended side effects
Btw I see Tim Wilson has stopped putting up posts about how #the future is gonna be awesome
