I bloody well
will blame other states if
they aren't willing to carry their fair share of the incoming passenger load. When was the last time Tasmania took a planeload of international arrivals. Every other state - and their citizens - has been more than happy to let NSW carry the can, in come cases, with 60+% of the incoming arrivals, yet with NSW only having around 30% of the Australian population! But they're also very quick & happy to decry "those filthy sickly NSWelshmen!" the instant something like this happens and shut the borders.
Yep, great times to be an Australian looking after your mates...
I thoroughly get what u say about people in other states referring to NSW residents as being filthy etc.
We went through it here in Vic for many many weeks & even had people in regional areas doing it to melbourne residents.
I think now because of what we went through we support our border being closed but not for a get back at other states but just to make sure we dont get locked up again.
No govt is perfect however i think we must agree in reality they are all dealing with something never seen before.
We hated & still do having to wear masks but is it that much of a sacrifice if it helps stop the spread?
I dont care if the premier is lib or lab,lets all do something to keep australia virus free.
