Buying government bonds doesn’t work when you hit 0% interest rates, and it will. Australia needs to pay the piper and suck it up. To much entitlement in this country.

If we didn't have such a bloody big hole dug for us, we wouldn't need to build a fn bridge.
Can we not pretend there are fewer cases of Covid 19 today. We are not testing all of the people out there who are sick. They are just self isolating. Very convenient for government statistics. ShutTheSchoolsNow
