Mate, you are an english teacher's worst nightmare. Trying to decipher your grammatical structure is painful and for some reason quite frustrating.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has told families this year’s Christmas dinner will be anything but a normal one.
When asked what the likelihood of that restriction being eased before Christmas, Andrews was tight-lipped.
That's from the
channel 7 news tonight.

Then the next item on the news, was an anti virus drug (of the flu variety )that can kill covid in 4 days which is being given to the elderly
and being tested to see how the drug performs. More results will come out in the next week or two. If we get quicker amount of recoveries
then Dan can retract the above statement. In fact flu and covid would then be on level pegging. I believe we have never shut down for flu.
It can still spread and make you ill, but it can no longer kill you. That's all we need for now. A drug that doesn't kill you.
A vaccine could be still a year away. If we get more positive info from this anti viral, then all lockdowns all borders must open.

There are a host of antiviral drugs that have already been in trials for months. They're a treatment, not a cure and certainly not a preventative measure so will do nothing to ease border restrictions. Sorry to sound cynical, just keeping it real. I'd like to get home to see my family at Christmas as well but I'm not banking on it.

With an election coming up.. and his current popularity, i think he will be there. I’m a Liberal voter.. but I think the WA libs are now dead in the water. Liza Harvey ( WA Liberal leader ) has done nothing but upset the bulk of the WA population.

Fair enough though this one had more hope. They said they will keep administering this drug so I will keep an eye on it.
They way they presented it was like really encouraging news. I keep watching this space.
As far as lockdown till Christmas and borders closed till 2022 never mine zombie businesses we will all become zombies.
Relegated to the Recession league, then Depression league, what's the name for the third division?

Totally blown out of proportion. That was not said.

McGowan said the border re-opening would depend on the reduction of community spread in other states. He refused to put a date on when that would happen. It could be by Christmas or mid next year. Nowhere was a timeframe of 2022 mentioned. Also it could involve re-opening travel to certain jurisdictions only. 85% of West Australian’s support the Premiers current actions on closing the border at the moment, not until 2022.

All the avowed Liberal Party supporters I’ve spoken to lately have stated they’ll be voting for McGowan next state election. Barring some upcoming shock next March’s WA state election will be one of the most lop sided in Australian history. The WA government attitude to the border won’t be changing with a change of government, it’ll come with a decrease in the pandemic on the east coast.

Sorry for the misunderstanding cobber. In England we generally have woods. An exception being Sherwood Forest. You still can't see the wood for the trees bless you!

WA will not open anytime soon, they don't need to they have plenty employment, McGowan said this week if you're FIFO and work in WA you should live in WA that exemption of FIFO workers coming in is believed to be pulled anytime now.
QLD who knows what she is doing giving 200K to VA to preserve jobs in QLD, well that worked a treat. There has been no rational explanation to close from NSW, NSW has cases in Sydney they have been constant in numbers for a month and have been very well managed to find the sources and have those close contacts self isolate. NSW is learning to live with the virus rest of the country needs to learn to live with it also, and open up because this is affecting big business now.

Only way to force the states hands into rational thinking is the Fed Gov cutting job keeper even tho I am on job keeper I would most certainly vote for it to be discontinued as its dragging this pandemic out. Job keeper is doing more harm than good now. Really why should the federal government pay for workers in each state when each state doesn't listen or take advice off the federal government anyway. QLD is broke make their own gov pay the bills see how long they last.

Ha, no. But, it is time to learn to live with it we have suppressed it that was the original intention. If they're serious about eradication which I am OK with, well we better start by closing international borders first, completely, no exemptions no hotels nothing.

I wrote to the prime minister saying the same. The states should be funding all welfare directly related to the closure of borders, ie the domestic tourism industry. A myopic view, perhaps, but the reason domestic pilots are not at work is the rogue state premiers. Make them pay, directly or through a reduction in future fund distribution. Watch the premiers bleat then. WA? Good for now...until the world descends further into chaos, exports stop due war etc etc...when they come begging for money, perhaps the federal govt response should be ‘you wanted to stand alone, nows your chance’.

australia....one country, made up of 8 other countries apparently.

So who are you blaming? The hand-wringing do-gooders in Victoria who thought that cultural inclusiveness should be an overriding concern in a pandemic response or the premiers who are doing their best to eradicate the virus? *

i agree that there should be no international arrivals unless they want to quarantine in some remote camp which has resident guards.

*Which is not a unique Victorian impulse-Canada delayed banning flights from China for far too long because it was seen as being discriminatory.

Breaking news Dan is about to come to the microphone at 11.30am. Same speech as yesterday and the same speech as for tomorrow
and the next day, only with different numbers. It's Sunday so he should have the NorthFace jacket on this time representing outdoor recreation.

He’s facing the media. If he wasn’t you’d be criticising him for hiding from the public. At least he isn’t pissing off to Hawaii on holidays.

The country would probably run better if all the state pollies went to Hawaii. A tier of red tape gone. Like organising your own separation in a CTAF.

Life is full of challenges, if that rates perhaps you are in the wrong business.
