Someone doesn't know what a vaccine is....

Yep - wife booked her first Pfizer today for this coming Thursday - first available slot was in 2 days time.
The website could be better, but it took about 5mins all up.

Melbourne rolling out of lockdown, fuel hits $1.75. A quick look at most other state capitols, it's around $1.30-$1.40. Never waste an opportunity eh!

Enjoy all that liveability

Don't worry, Chairman Dan (he of the "creeping assumption" that creepingly led to 800+ deaths) apparently on the return to fix all our woes - we are so, so blessed and fortunate....not. :mad:

This is oil company manipulation of the market,nothing to do with ANY government.
Send them a message by just buying what u need at the time as in $10 worth,not the usual fill up.
Competition will drive the price back down very quickly,just like airfares.

well you only need one tank to make it out of the socialist utopia of Victoria then you get cheap petrol and no more Chairman Dan the lockdown man.

All capital cities have different fuel cycles you cant compare on a single day.

A quick glance shows Brisbane had the most expensive fuel over the last 45 days.

Back to borders....i wouldn't be surprised to see NZ pause the bubble - surprised they haven't already actually!

You know I have in a few places around the world and Australia is the only place I know of with this fuel "discounting" cycle.

I beleive the discount price is actually supposed to be the real price and what you pay on Friday is the jacked up price. Is the Govt seriously trying to say that all the major fuel retailers changing their prices up and down within minutes of each other isn't some form of market manipulation?

655 of the 801 deaths during the second wave were from federally run aged care facilities. The same facilities making news only a few weeks ago for being under-vaccinated, mixing staff and convincing isolating staff to come to work.

My partner and I are both in our 40s, living in Melbourne.

Last week, my partner was able to walk in off the street to get the Pfizer vaccine. I wasn’t able to attend with her.

This week, walk ins are no longer being accepted for Pfizer, nor are initial bookings being taken as the supply of Pfizer vaccine is not assured.

With the 50-60 bracket now being steered towards the Pfizer jab, the wait for those in younger age groups will be much longer than anticipated.

Crux of the issue is federal vaccine procurement and distribution amongst the states.

Indeed, i think its also only a matter of time before the decision is made to vaccinate older children (12+) as is being done in the USA and Canada.

Knew the ‘I stand with Dan’ crowd would be scurrying out to blame all their ills on the feds. Can’t move up here in the North for Victorians escaping the COVID gulag.

I knew somebody would chime in to defend Capt Flogbag. I quite like Merlino in comparison. Leadership spill please.

Next two will probably be female. The next one most certainly will be.

Merlino is about third in line. He will need to battle it out with comeback queen Jill in the long term.

Jacinta will be next in line. The brains behind Public Transport Victoria. God help us all.

I'm not defending him, I'm just stating the facts.

The ScoBros don’t care for facts.

what facts are those?

The creeping assumption that absolves a uniformly amnesiac state cabinet.?

AND the Minster 'responsible' in Federal Cabinet who at an inquiry could not even estimate how many had died in a system HE is responsible for, again a week or so ago also replied with "don't know" when asked how many vaccinations had been administered. What exactly is this moron being paid out of taxypayer's money to do????

I wouldn't be surprised if he struggled to answer the question "What is an Aged Care Home". The bloke is clearly incompetent. But he's not alone, have a look at the Minister for Robodebt and ask how he could possibly still have his job.
