If your overseas parent dies, would that be grounds for an exemption to attend the funeral?

I think it ended up between $1500 to $2000 as they put her up in a Travelodge (not the nicest of hotels, but not the worst either). And she didn't have a choice; they pick where you stay.

Not if you enter the NT, at least in a secondary manner. My friend who lives in Darwin came back from the Caribbean. She had to isolate first in Melbourne (her first point of contact back in Australia) which was paid for by the feds. But when she flew back to Darwin from Melb, she had to return to quarantine for a second time, but this time on her own dollar. NT after a period of time started making people coming into the territory pay for their own accomodations. So it all depends on the jurisdiction and the policies they have in place.

Now now. I've just been scolded for believing the same thing. I've been told you cannot say things like this in our society, apparently because they are racist and xenophobic beliefs. BTD and its holier-than-thou PC/SJW possy will collect anyones head for these outdated beliefs. I mean, how dare we!

Don't forget Canadians and Kiwis, which are also fellow Commonwealth countries

I do agree that this situation has a real potential of becoming reality, unfortunately

I didn't know where else to put it. And yes, I will bash the Chinese for things like this and the COVID-19 Pandemic, which affects us all and puts us and our environment in jeopardy. I will bash them hard and not hold back. Just like I will bash the Russians for their treatment of Ukraine and how I will bash the Americans for their treatment of Canada, Mexico and other nations and other issues.

Zoooooooomm, right overtop your head that joke went as it's the opening lyrics to a 70s sitcom.

Boy the way Glen Miller played, Songs that made the hit parade, Guys like us we had it made, Those were the days, And you know where you were then, Girls were girls and men were men, Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, Didn't need no welfare states Everybody pulled his weight, Gee our old Lasalle ran great, Those were the days!

This isn't a recent phenomenon. I've read several articles about various Asian countries harbouring strong racist attitudes towards black Africans, particularly in China and India, treating them horribly. However as you said, they are quite racist towards whites and other races as well. People tend to focus on racism as primarily a 'white people' issue, but truth be told racism is found in all the colours of the human rainbow.

Why was the title of this thread changed?

So anything in reality that you don't agree with is just some conspiracy theory. Got it.

I'm all for CANZUK, with a kept-at-distance alliance with the US.

Cafeful now. BTD et al will accuse you of nationalism, racism and xenophobia for daring to show how these Asians are screwing Australians (and other Anglo countries where they are doing the exact same thing) over by breaking the laws and pilaging supermarkets to supply China with OUR food and supplies. Because, you know. Double standards and all.
