"Increasingly, population will be a driver of economic growth. And that's why countries in our region, such as China, but also Indonesia, India and other nations, will have considerable economic growth in the future," he said.

"And that's why Australia is well positioned as a country that is located in the fastest growing region of the world in human history. That represents opportunity."

avoid what happened in QLD to repeat on the national scale

I wouldn't use Queensland as a barometer for the country, Labor were in power for ~29 of the last 34 years, while voting Liberal every election except 1990 and 2007

Meanwhile they also put a three out of four Greens in the lower house federally last election

Agree overall though, the 50 cent transport fares, school lunches etc. proposals were all very popular and saved Labor from a wipe out.

The sub committee never gets anywhere, they need a leader to give some direction

The timing of the report back just before the midterms is well placed to avoid doing anything if the dems get the house

Having two co-chairs is a classic move too

Only a couple of possible cases years ago, seemingly not easily spread

If it's like COVID and only kills 10-20 percent of older people and a couple percent of adults it could be circulating for a while before detection

I've seen testing up to 10 years after expiry with similar efficacy and a quick google suggests the FDA extended that to 20 years recently

Often causes pretty dreadful vomiting, and it's not clear whether it would be of great benefit in the event of a highly pathogenic flu, but it's the standard treatment for the avian flus

(A meta-analysis did find that it didn't reduce hospitalisation, but it's hard to translate to findings given most people taking Tamiflu are going to be at a high risk)

I'm sure H5N1 has had a couple of instances of human to human transmission before (that didn't go anywhere)

Probably some minor cross protection but you wouldn't expect much or want to rely on it, and you can't predict how fast the virus will mutate and adapt either

You can always buy some tamiflu from India for $50-100 for peace of mind, at least before antiviral drug resistance develops
