All borders to reopen.

"The point of that is that even if they put nursing and healthcare staff on quarantine hotels staffing rosters, COVID might have got out anyway".

Each Vic quarantine hotel has a team of full time nursing staff stationed at it (around the clock). There are also full time Department of Health and Human Services staff on site at each hotel (around the clock).

I personally know of one nurse and several health staff that have become infected through hotel quarantine arrangements.

Bit like the MAX cases - but they all died!

Total the number of pax and the resulted deaths on the cruise ships & you will find they have lower numbers than general city out breaks in many countries, given the average age - even more surprising.

Diamand & Ruby Princess are outstanding exceptions in case numbers.

Inbound international flights have been turned away to other Aus destinations so that Vic can improve it's quarantine practices and procedures. While the practices are being changed wouldn't be a great time to receive hundreds of people per day.

Stick, compressor stall said "other governments".

One of which said this today -

"We want to make sure that we keep people safe in our hotels, but if we are inundated with a lot of returnees to Western Australia we will struggle to provide the level of care that we expect."

FWIW the VIC capacity for providing quarantine has shown itself to be very limited indeed.

Unfortunately.

There are still many repatriation flights being organised, simple fact.

Yes the government decides where they must go, ultimately quarantine decision.

I fear while plane loads are still inbound the flare ups will continue.

I’m afraid the genie might be out of the bottle in VIC. I hope I’m wrong but it’s worse in VIC than it has been at any time. It needs to be locked down hard now. Not some half arsed effort. You can still get a hair cut FFS.

So you believe everything this guy is saying?
The BLM protestors were told not to attend the protest but did they listen,each & every 1 of them decided to attend against every piece of advice given & even if it had been made illegal,do u think they would have all stayed home?
I agree the hotel security could definitely have been handled better but 1 person(as in andrews) cant be in every part of the state every minute of the day,the actual guards are the ones who have most to answer for & the companies they work for.
Its very easy to criticise but remember its not the premier or anyone else in his government thats out there & not adhering to the rules,its members of the community continuing to ignore what theyre being asked to do.
And before you ask,NO I DIDNT VOTE FOR HIM.

I believe the point is that Dan Andrews put these security companies in place to take care of the quarantine. Every other state has used police (local or federal) or the defence force, along side health and border staff. Dan used a contractor, who then used a sub contractor, so there is no accountability. When there is no accountability, you have people who don’t care, you have people that have less training, and this leads the breaks in protocol. So it falls back on Dan and his decision to use his union backed security companies, instead of government employees.

It looks like Josh frying-pan is about to extend job keeper, aviation keeper, whatever keeper. Your the man Dan.

What is the point of your post ?

[Ragnor]

if Josh goes ahead with Aviation keeper, where will it stop. Tourism keeper? Hospitality keeper? Taxi driver keeper it will never end. Aviation has been hit hard but not only aviation as been affected. The umbilical chord needs to be cut at some point and September 27th should still be it, and yes jobs will go, even possibly mine.

The commentator in this video really needs to have a look at himself,if he thinks he knows so much why is he associated with some news organisation thats basically unheard of.

Not really. The government has chosen to shut the industry down, to protect a minority. They should also protect those who have had their jobs sacrificed for this. Aviation keeper should align with UK style wage subsidy and be 80% of persons wage up to $5k a month limit.

The difference is that those industries, while they won’t thrive, can still survive on business from within each state. The aviation industry in this country relies on intrastate travel.

That “commentator” is one of those far right “patriots” who have been rising in prominence over the last few years. He’s also a convicted wife basher who used a wooden chopping board to bash his ex wife.

You’ve got to think of the mental capacity of people who post uneducated rubbish from the utter filth of society like this guy and pass it off as “science”.

[ozbiggles]

I think you also have to think about the mental capacity of those who believe it.

Perfect,that says it all!
Fair chance hes a regular at protests too,u know the ones where they are told to stay home but ultimately decide they know better & then try to blame others for causing the consequences.
