Here are the ABS Labour Stats until the end of September, before Victorian lockdown ended.

Still way too high across the board, but the state by state unemployment rate is illuminating. ACT 3.8%, NT 4.8%, Victoria 6.7%, WA 6.7%, SA 7.1%, NSW 7.2%, TAS 7.6% and QLD 7.7%.

Thanks. Apparently Dan made the decision on his own and neither he nor anyone else in the Government can recall anything about it. Also Unified Security have been paid $1m to deliver the cheque and they are doing it through Uber.

It'd be for repairs, maintenance and finishing off.

We don't have anything to repair or maintain, and we need to start something before it needs finishing off.

 The Essendon facility is also a high performance centre for Paralympics participants.

So we need an angle.

we have always needed to demonstrate community benefit.

Bulldogs did it years ago with a childcare facility. Got them big Federal grants.

One problem we will face is any form of permanent closure of Gosch's paddock to the public assuming we take that space.

We don't have a proposal yet? How about holding your horses until we actually see what we get WHEN we figure out where we can even build our home base.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
