I didn’t expect anything less. I think January is cactus for NSW based crew. Even for McIdiot over in the West and Dictator Dan who had a smug smirk on his face whilst very proudly locking Sydney out will feel the effects. QLD TAS and SA well those poor ppl will be ruined. Like it or not or want to accept it Sydney/NSW really prop up the tourism/travel industry. I’ve seen it first hand in the last two months.
Gladys and the NSW CMO were a bit mousy about who was and wasn't exempt from quarantine requirements. There might be some fuel here.

Victoria out of action was not as severe, lost a limb. We have lost the guts essentially here.

I'm in NSW at the moment, I've been caught up in lockdowns but am fortunate enough to have escaped most of it, I wouldn't be anywhere else, I'm lucky, I'm with family. I'd take Gladys in charge any day than a smug ****wit who's lucky enough to have the natural resources to keep a state afloat. Face it, you've got nothing else, a backwater really. If you left the federation no one would care.[QUOTE=Bodie1;10950813
Ahhh yes that backwater with the natural resources.....which requires a huge aviation sector, with hundreds of pilots of who have managed to keep their jobs / hours thanks to Covid being kept out of the state. We might not be flying around in flash new A380s etc, but flying the clapped out F100s, Dash 8s, 146s gives many junior pilots that first leg up in the commercial sector and has been the only bright spot during this whole Covid business.

Its been three days mate. If this was Victoria it would be 300 already we have all seen it before. Contact tracing has at least identified all origins except 3. Patient zero which they suspect has left the country and the two today which are not a concern as they are in the LGA of the original cluster.
Sydney being out of action will have a big effect on airline/tourism but not the same as pre October as at least Vic SA TAS NT QLD can travel. But they will all notice NSW/SY not traveling.

When the heat is off and he can point the blame at someone else, he’s almost giddy with glee! There’ll be a puff piece in the papers about how he’d never let his mother go to Sydney or some other PR garbage...the cult of Dan is alive and well in Victoria province.
Even though I’ve probably done it myself.....
..... maybe time for us all to cool off a bit. The conversation is getting a bit heated and it’s becoming a case of state v state, left v right, Lib v lab, no one would miss you if you left etc. It’s been bad enough this year without anonymous people in the industry we’re meant to have a lifelong passion for yelling at each other for no real benefit.
Let’s just be thankful at Christmas we don’t have a country with an out of control pandemic raging and people dying en masse.

Enough of the interstate animosity already. Its juvenile.
Standard practice to throw up a cordon around affected areas. Its called containment.
Or would you prefer all areas affected?
Chances are, every state will have its turn at an outbreak.
If it can be limited to one state at a time, the nation as a whole can continue to function and provide support for the affected state.

Already see a difference between Dan and Gladys.
Dan is Labor = hard lockdown = sever the economy.
Gladys is Liberal = minimal lockdown = keep the economy flowing.
Interesting contrast. Time will tell what's the best option.

Except we all know its not that simple in any of the examples given.
short flights long nights
That's awesome for you. What comes across quite often from West Australians is the smug 'we're in near total freedom.' Well you've got that because you've got an insular clown who is lucky enough to have remote borders and a state that virtually no Australian wants to be in apart from West Australians. Your state has always had a massive chip on its shoulder and you now see payback. What Mc****wit does, anybody could do. What Gladys, Hazzard & Chant does is try and manage the virus holistically, it's obvious they are trying to manage the virus, the economy and people's mental health.

As the night goes on .. it looks like not only WA is closing the border to NSW.
it still will. It’s only 4 days since the cluster became evident. There were 30 new cases yesterday, 28 which were immediately linked to the cluster and 2 more that weren’t far away from.
For perspective in Vics 2nd wave Dan started locking down suburbs when the daily new cases hit 75 and more than half of those had no known link, the response here by Gladys has been much quicker.
The short memories I’ve seen by some victorians have been incredible. Especially considering NSW took ALL their HQ arrivals so that they could sort out their backyard and gave every opportunity for them to get on top of.. it wasn’t until new cases were in the hundreds that the border was shut last time.
2 days of low double figures and you’ve got Dan joining the rest of the border idiots. Way to help your mates..

Nobody can deny how well NSW has managed this virus & even now despite not making masks mandatory they are doing everything to get it under control as quickly as possible.
Instead of accusing Andrews of being happy about closing the border & smirking as he announced it why not consider the massive risk involved if he doesnt.
The flow of people heading south would be out of control & if just a couple of them were infected it could well be the start of another disaster here in vic.
The anger of NSW people should be directed at the 2 boomers who thought the law didnt apply to them,they need to be singled out & made pay in the highest way possible.
Lots of people in vic dont like Andrews as im sure lots in nsw dont like Gladys but we have to accept their decisions & here in vic we have paid dearly for 1 really bad decision he made but right now i think the vast majority support his decision to close the border & in reality the option of doing nothing could spell disaster.
Lets hope the numbers over the next few days let us all enjoy xmas in the best way.
