The health care situation on the front line in Vic is now dire. While most won't admit it publicly, most of the girls won't go to Melb to help. They're saying should that happen here we are walking away. We are not soldiers and not risking our lives for Idiots. That should be a clear indication of what to expect as this pandemic spreads.

Turnleft, you are in Melb and claim to be immune, so you don't even need PPE, You should be on the front line helping fight this instead of sitting on your arse expressing your opinion on how this should be managed.

Lot of UK contributors here on Jetblast if you want a glimpse of the future.

this is patently ridiculous.

And if such assertions are the quality of insight of people in this site, I’m going to go with a no on reading jetblast thanks. I’ll talk to my UK and Italian relatives in real life.

It doesn't literally mean that, of course one is not better off dying.
My Grandpa had a triple bypass in his 60's to save his life, the miracle of modern science he said at the time, gave him another 28 years.
Unfortunately about 10 years later everything else began to fail, to the point he couldn't do the simple things he enjoyed, like reading. He had a few minor strokes, so he couldn't play his piano anymore because he couldn't remember what came next. In his last decade he used to wake up and say "bugger I'm still here" It was sad to see that,

The point that is being made is that you don't want to be in a position where you're alive but have no quality of life, particularly if your'e not all that old.

I have apologised for the misunderstanding.

As I said, the only part of your since deleted post I could see was "Ha ha, yeah nah", which put forward an entirely different impression to the point you were trying to convey.

Which I happen to agree with.

Not sure what went wrong with your post.

In a state of disaster I thought the police have the authority to override the rule book. She should of pointed her gun at her and say something like,
"Blessed is he who in the name of cherish and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I willstrike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious angerthose who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."
"Now musk up." That ought to do it.

Where I come from, and when I was a cop, that would be met with a .45 warning shot into the forehead. No lines from Pulp Fiction either.

Which leaves only this. For you dumb arse city people intent on exercising your civil rights, if you happen to stumble upon our private property in the regions without invitation or consent, be sure to have your sign up on a long pole, it'll give us something to aim at. Of course if we have to aim a second time we won't be aiming at no sign. The yabbies have to eat too, make a nice change from roo meat.

Why isnt that woman in jail NOW,these threats of full extent of the law being used are just grand standing & chest beating exercises by the hierachy.
Dont give this type of offender any time to prepare evidence for a court appearance in 3,6 or however many months time,how much more evidence is needed!
As a side issue,maybe not the smartest idea to have 2 young female constables working together in this scenario considering what has happened,bit more thought needs to go into who works with who.

"Smashed her head into concrete several times" - but not a drop of blood on the (female) constables head, neck hair, hands or uniform. OR am I just being cynical as I get older?

QLD border to close to NSW/ACT ...again...from Sunday.
This is more disruptive than the WA/TAS/SA/NT approach to just stay closed.

Just heard Patten talking about this on radio...aw no previous convictions,assessed the circumstances,all the usual big words to make oneself look & sound important,no wonder people are cynical.
2 young cops just trying to do their job & even if over exagerated,what sort of message is given in the response by their boss,disgusting.

Or maybe the woman in question was having a mental health issue that lead to an out-of-character severe act of aggression.
Rather than criticising the Police Chief based on facts limited to those reported in the media, maybe we could consider that his course of action is delivered to minimise the possible disadvantageous and ineffective outcome that may ensue with further sensationalised media reporting.

We have a family member with a mild intellectual disability. Most of the time she's as placid as a teddy bear but under stress she can become quite a handful; thankfully never to the extent of actually injuring anyone.

I have no idea if this was the case in Frankston, but maybe, just maybe, the Police Commissioner is acting on more advice than we are privy to……..

……..
Alternatively she could simply be a nasty piece of work.
Suspected terrorists may be held without charge for up to 14 days, so why not enact similar legislation for those f#%%wits who endanger the public and our national economy?
If a few were made an example of by spending 14 days in the cells we would soon have others thinking twice about testing their so-called 'civil liberties'.
