The 'Globalisation Valhalla has failed'
The good news is that the supposed brains at the top of our respective political dungpiles cannot escape the reality that their grand experiment to engineer a Globalisation Valhalla has failed, and that those (like me) who predicted such failure were in fact correct.

To be aware of such reality is not difficult!

Restructuring the industry and manufacturing to rely on other nations for survival is akin to putting all your life savings into a Pyramid Scheme - but this is exactly the primary aim of the United Nations to which Australia slavishly complies.
This virus situation is a very subtle alert to cease that path and "Do A Trump".
Trade by all means but never rely, for one day when your pants are down ...!
For people and business affected - a complete shutdown of loan repayment requirements needs be in place now.
That means without being required to pay arrears for a stalled period, and with lead time of X weeks/months to allow people/businesses to re-establish.

Responsible behaviour
I do hope some of our "non-residential ratepayers" from the Eastern and Northern suburbs of Sydney (confirmed coronavirus "hot spots") take seriously the Prime Minister's advice not to travel and try to "self isolate" at their Southern Highlands properties.
Not only does this go against all medical and political advice, but it would express complete selfishness and disregard for the health and limited services available to local residents.

'What is the rush?'
What "emergency" affects any of the undisclosed Recision Motions to come to the Emergency Extraordinary Council Meeting on March 27?
COVID-19 does not affect the assessment of tenders, nor the Station Street redesign.

What is the rush, when the Office of Local Government is now working to enable all councils to meet remotely?
The Station Street report to the March 25 meeting, issued late on Friday, March 20, contained the recommendation to remove eight of the pin oak trees on Station Street near the War Memorial, an issue of wide interest to the Southern Highlands community.
This report had very limited time for public exposure before the meeting, and should have been publicly exhibited before being submitted to that meeting, as was demanded by three councillors but denied by the rest.
The plans displayed were highly selective and imply very significant changes to the plans that were displayed in 2017.
It is now time for Wingecarribee Council to act responsibly and not use the COVID-19 pandemic as its excuse to rush through these issues and deny community consultation and debate.
