P.S our very own sitting health minister made reference to the Industrial Court tonight on telly, so I'm not alone in being a bit behind the times. At least I'm retired and been away from it in a while.

Your scare mongering, posturing and overall fear campaign is better suited on Mark McGowan’s Facebook page with the rest of the petrified West Australians who think open borders and COVID is a death sentence for our country. It’s not! The alternative option of keeping everything closed up is the surest way to ruin our otherwise prosperous nation.

Whether you like or not , agree with it or disagree , it just doesn't matter (unless of course you get politically organised/active & lobby & campaign)
The Aussie Govts are going to take an extremely cautious & conservative approach, & it is going down a treat with the local
punters telling NSW & Vict where to go
Domestic is going at maybe 2 or 3% and it is unlikely given what the leaders of WA, SA , Qld , NT say that
borders will open this year. They want to see two 14 day cycles of zero transmission in Vic & NSW & that hasn't occurred yet since Covid landed
Domestic "might" start in 2021 - not what we want to hear , but people need to know what the likely reality is
How QF can "map" & plan it's future LH work force with any precision - well they just can't it is guesswork
Murphy said a couple of months ago when he was in front of a Senate Committee when asked about international travel starting
"well I just can't see any road map" , I wonder what he would say today ?
It's guys like him that will be making the decisions on when international resumes not anyone from QF, the politicians are just doing
what the medical experts tell them (regarding international anyway, Qld "I think" , the other guys well .........nobody is going to change McGowan )

I’d like to see ScoMo stop Federal funding of infrastructure projects in states like WA and QLD. McGowan and Palazchook will then have fo create their own jobs with closed up economies and the end of JobKeeper. Should last about a fortnight before we have normal programming resume.
Then once state borders open and the public sees that the world isn’t ending, international borders will follow 3-6 months after.
Closing up shop and waiting for a vaccine is a stupid idea that will end in heartbreak and many millions out of work.

Now this matter does affect our livelihoods, but the border restrictions for people in states where they are strict are insanely popular, for workers outside of industries that rely on cross border movement. I spoken to many people outside of aviation recently (the majority of the public), and whilst they are quite sympathetic to those who are not working at the moment they are also quite supportive of restrictions, regardless of political leaning. The NT Government was just returned to power despite quarantine restrictions from the two largest cities that have adversely affected their large tourism industry. No government would go against such strong feeling on a major issue.
I think the ending of border restrictions will be more down to the ending of widespread community transmission in other states, and less sensationalist reporting of this issue in the media.

Maybe Morrison can satisfy the publics concern by fixing the broken aged care system he presides over & consistently does nothing about,look at where 90 to 100% of the deaths are coming from every day.
People on other forums are happy to state baggage handlers are overpaid but just maybe if the casualised workforce in the aged care system were at least respected & paid a decent hourly rate we wouldnt be reporting the deaths are every day.

So if the aged care system is ‘broken’ why are we only seeing the catastrophic death statistics in just one state? NSW seems to have sorted out the issues once they worked out what was going on at Newmarch. It took a galactic level of stupidity in Victoria for so many aged care homes to be infected.

I'm not so sure, whilst I think numbers will come back after a period of time, don't forget passengers numbers dropped off when people got scared of the virus, before states closed borders. Opening borders will help with return to normal but the main return will come when the public is satisfied the risks have decreased.
.
Passenger numbers did drop of a little where I am initially in March, but I think thats because of the unknown of the virus. Now they know about it and would return to reasonable capacity within a few months.
Regardless, this internal closure is similar to having the Berlin wall, we are supposed to be one country.

Having close contact with someone directly in the bus here in Melb, a singificant number of cases reported are dying WITH covid rather than FROM covid.
That's not to sat that there haven't been tragic cases and certainly COVID can bring forward the inevitable considerably.
In Victoria anyone who dies with COVID is automatically added to the COVID death tally and reported as such. Only this morning The Age finally ran an article about this, including that the death of the person in their 20s (who was widely promoted on the media as our youngest COVID victim) is actually still under investigation, which tells you everything you need to know.
Also of interest is the official state death statistics. Granted I don't have access to Aug figures yet - but on average between APR and JUNE around 48 people died in Victorian nursing homes each day*. It is possible that this will rise in JUL/AUG, but it also may not. I'm looking forward to the day the media tell us no-one died in aged care overnight.
All this is not to say that Dan hasn't bugled the way its been handled, but the death stats themselves seem to be more about scaremongering than anything else.

as you suck off the teet of the eastern states. Wait until the relationship with China really sours. Then you’ll have nothing, and will be screaming like stuck pigs.
