Salvation Army support My name is Samantha Jade and I have had the absolute pleasure of working with The Salvation Army for the past few years. I have been lucky enough to visit many communities across Australia with The Salvos, all of which were incredibly special and memorable. As another Australian summer has passed, and after seeing the bushfires in my hometown of Perth recently, I wanted to share my experiences from last year with The Salvos; a story which came full circle. The year 2020 started with the devastating black summer bushfires. Hard working Aussies who had spent their lives dedicated to their homes and land, saw them destroyed by the disaster.

“Zero emissions” requires no diesel, petrol or gas-fuelled cars, trucks, tractors or dozers and no burning of coal or gas for electricity generation.
But without nuclear power or a massive increase in hydro-electricity, green energy will not support metal refining or manufacturing, and domestic electricity usage will be rationed.
Zero emissions will also force closure of most cement plants, mechanised farms and feed lots and will demand nuclear or wind-powered submarines, destroyers and bulk carriers.
In the zero emissions world there can be no diesel buses, oil-powered cruise liners or jet aircraft (except fleets of climate comrades attending endless UNIPCC conferences).

Should Australia ban all international arrivals during the COVID crisis?
Missy Lea: A resounding YES; if they were closed from Day 1; we would have no Covid.
Tom Bayliss: Yes, stop the arrivals. Only way to stop new infections.
Grant Wilson: Should have already closed them if you are rich or a movie or sports star they will charge the rules for them but everyone else has to be made suffer.
Lisa Jasperson: Yes bloody oath.
Lis Currie: Not for returning Aussies.
