Moron, that would entail quarantining anybody who'd been in contact with anybody who'd been in contact with anybody who'd been to Mexico or America in the past 2 months: i.e. about 20 million Australians. Not to mention face masks are suspected of further propagating infection after about 30...

No primary vote figures (Greens voters are key - would they support Liberal or Labour?) and the sample size was a flimsy 500 people.

Douglas Adams had no idea that it worked in base-13 when he wrote it. It was an amusing coincidence.

Hey, good post, but don't diss The Eagles man.
