The ship? No, footage was shown on TV at the time. You missed it? Jezuz Mick, you are slipping.

You reckon that is eerie,try this for size. 'er indoors just read this 5 mins ago.


A bloke claims that his wife visited 17, yes 17, Supermarkets trying to buy some Baby Formula. Not one did she find, but somewhere along the line a photo was published to show 13 Tonnes at the airport awaiting shipment to China.



Reminds me of the Chinese Amphibious Ship that called into Sydney Harbour recently (Garden Island I think it was berthed) when Trucks from the ship delivered a whole ****load of Baby Milk onboard to go back to China. Supposedly the small fleet came all the way from the Middle East via Oz & was on route back home & it was reported as a Courtesy Visit. So not out of their way then.

A lot of people were very surprised to see these unexpected ships in the Harbour but the Gubmint said they were aware of them arriving but it did sound a bit shonky/hollow the way it was explained.

Appears they may have been taking home the milk that was being raided from supermarkets by Chinese groups, in great quantities, stockpiled & then shipped leaving Australian kids short.

Simply not true, any milk going OS was sent by the Chinese freight forwarders that are all over the place. The idea that the Chinese PLA does milk runs for Chinese consumers is ludicrous.

The ships visited, but that's all that happened.

I saw the ship's visit, but the milk thing sounds like garbage.

This is what the government is waiting for:

RBA expected to make unscheduled rate cut - RBA expected to make unscheduled rate cut - 9Finance

I heard a whisper quantitative easing is being considered { I actually had to look it up] Edit. Yep, that's what your link says. Too quick on the draw.

Quantitative Easing

Quantitative easing (QE), also known as large-scale asset purchases, is a monetary policy whereby a central bank buys predetermined amounts of government bonds or other financial assets in order to add money directly into the economy. An unconventional form of monetary policy, it is usually used when inflation is very low or negative, and standard expansionary monetary policy has become ineffective. A central bank implements quantitative easing by buying specified amounts of financial assets from commercial banks and other financial institutions, thus raising the prices of those financial assets and lowering their yield, while simultaneously increasing the money supply. This differs from the more usual policy of buying or selling short-term government bonds to keep interbank interest rates at a specified target value.

Its very simple, if any of my family need to quarantine for 14 days and run out of food/water, we can phone/txt each other with "hey can you drop off milk (or whatever) to the front door tomorrow" etc etc.

Have people not thought of this??
