Indonesia

Right at the beginning of the virus outbreak there was a warning of risk to Australia by the virus coming thu Indonesia.

To date there are no reported cases of Coronavirus in Indonesia, yeah right! Sounds like the Indonesian health minister is all over it!

Over the weekend, Indonesia announced it would temporarily ban visitors from mainland China who had been there for 14 days.

But health minister Terawan Agus Putranto told citizens to relax, advising that they could avoid the disease by not working overtime.

“To prevent it is very easy as long as your immunity is good,” he said. “Don’t fret. Just enjoy and eat enough.”

There are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Indonesia, although direct flights from Wuhan brought tourists to Bali in recent days.

Oh, goodie, so now we can 'compete' with Indonesians on $183 USD a month or $45.75 USD a week .... won't that be lovely?

What are they going to trade us? I mean, their Globalist Rich will exploit workers there and then send us heaps of cheap goods... how many of those Globalist Rich are going to buy Australian made products in return? It's a bit like buying submarines from Eurostania for $50Bn - what exactly is Eurostania going to purchase from us that equates to $50Bn? Free trade, innit?

Are the French, for example, going to give Australia a contract for $50Bn to make cheese or wine for them or build their ships???? Not as long as their arses point to the ground...

Greater Flying Fox/Giant Fruit Bat
Quote:

The large flying fox can be found in countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Cambodia. In Malaysia alone, 22,000 bats are legally hunted every year, and an unknown number are also illegally killed. In a prepared statement, Epstein said that this level of hunting "is unsustainable for the number of bats in the country and will decimate this ecologically important species."

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/worlds-largest-bat-bei...

In Australia Fruit Bats carry Lyssa Virus & Hendra Virus...

http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/217/363/hendra-...

These are also found in other species of bat as well.

Yet Asians keep eating them wholesale.

Mind ... they eat everything that moves & 3/4 of what doesn't.

Sometimes your ignorance is absolutely breathtaking. Some quick facts regarding current trade with Indonesia.

- Largest economy in SE Asia
- 16th largest in the world
- Our 13th largest export market
- $16.8 billion in exports, $1 billion in imports. Trade balance favours us considerably.

Nothing to do with trade

You serious? All that cleared land has no input to any trade at all? Then why do they do it? National land security indicates that such clearance is designed to further the economic benefits for the nation - ergo - it is directly linked to trade.

Do they clear it all by fire - slash and burn - to create habitats for orang utans?
