I'm dubious that universities use international student fees purely to subsidize domestic students. From what I understand, course fees are only as high as they are because of the government underwriting which serves as a false bottom for the market. We'd ultimately be better off with lower...

But they're not, the Australian taxpayer subsidizes domestic students through Commonwealth supported places (CSP) and the HELP program.

Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

I got a similar email response, I spoke to a connection in the US and they told me they can still source them for something like $10.00 USD a box on Amazon.

Government probably should have had better emergency stocks. I wonder if there is some mechanism by which the Government can force vendors to ration certain items like they do during wartime?

Work purposes, not catching coronavirus etc, I thought this would have been self evident. Lol

Yeah, I've got a heap. Just interesting that even places online are totally sold out of the Halyard ones they use at hospitals. (weeks ago)

So at what point do we start stockpiling food, water and ammunition? Looking online, it's pretty hard to find anywhere with the N95 Masks, Lol.

I guess now that it's broken out of China we shouldn't bother then. Border should have been closed a week ago. Stop the boats.

No seal against face and membrane in contact with mouth? Not gonna make it guys, Mad Max 3.0 here we come.

Property: Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront Rate: 93.30 Euro (less taxes etc) Date: December (4 days) Status: Diamond Booked: King Guest Room Received: King Executive Waterfront Room Elite treatment: So-so upgrade, usual water and not much else. Nice looking hotel located a 15.00 Euro Uber fare...

Agreed and the area should be outside the lounge.

It's a shame when a nice lounge is ruined by hoardes of families using the happy hour as free dinner for kiddies time. I am in the Hilton Vienna Danube and the lounge was pure savagery, children touching food and dropping bottles of juice putting glass everywhere. Lounges should be child free.

Looks like you've had a bit of a bum run with upgrades and service, holiday or business? Might be worth calling the diamond line for a whinge, see what they come up with.

That sucks, no upgrade and no vouchers? Guess that's one to skip in future then.

Property: Hilton Milan Date: Dec 2019 Status: Diamond Booked: Queen Guest Room Received: King Guest Room in a "quieter" location. Rate: 105.00 Euro (~$169.00 AUD) Slightly disappointed with the upgrade, was expecting a better bump given how quiet the hotel was, however, the room was pretty nice...

About time, I guess they were starting to feel the heat. It was/is a great location if you're attending events at the convention centre.

It's a travesty we don't have concealed carry here in Australia.

Maybe you're just not hungry.

One does get the sense people like to treat the coughtail hours at the EL more like dinnertime than the snack its supposed to be. Can't fault people for being hungry though.
