Actually if you read the proposed act changes that Victoria wants to introduce it includes mandatory reporting of reasoning and why a certain health response is required. Its basis is shifting the responsibility to the elected member from that of a government employee, so yes while Dan is elected he gets more powers, however he must also put forward an explanation and reasoning for any chosen measures, including medical advice used, which is currently not required. Most of the tripe that's being spread around about the changes, is just that, complete fabrication. The overall benefit to the community is that the process becomes very much more transparent rather than just CHO's and ministers telling you what to do.

The overall benefit to the community is that the process becomes very much more transparent rather than just CHO's and ministers telling you what to do. Under the new laws, the health minister will sign off on an order after receiving advice from the chief health officer (which will be made public), but such orders are only to be scrutinised by a new advisory body selected by the government, and not a cross-party parliamentary committee. Now, I'm no fan of Lawyers etc, but when a bunch of them are trying to raise the alarm, would it not be wise to consider what they're saying? Surely if we're to trust Medical professionals for the Pandemic, Scientists for Climate change, then I think we can listen to a bunch of Barristers when it comes to Legislation. ...the barristers argued the legislation prevented proper scrutiny of government decisions. ...urged against issuing broad powers with inadequate checks in place. Finally, to avoid a partisan view, would you trust the State Liberals with this power? Scotty perhaps? I wouldn't. |
At a time when we're asked to trust the Medical experts, we now have to trust a Politician instead???https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/confused.gif Not required, sure, but nothings stopping him from offering that information freely. Finally, to avoid a partisan view, would you trust the State Liberals with this power? Scotty perhaps? I wouldn't. |
Not the point, the politician is acting on the advice of health professionals. This is in direct response to the public wanting an elected official making decisions on whether we are locked down or not, not the public service. Anything that is not required to be offered will not be given freely unless it earns votes. being forced to divulge information on the process ensures transparency. Also means we the public have a direct say at the ballot box on the decision as opposed to CHO decisions who are not part of the elect. Anyway, nice to have a discussion rather than have things devolve into hysterics from either end of the spectrum! :ok: |
I think the key point to the transparency is 'what is the actual medical advice'. All the premiers banded on about restrictions being based on this advice, but never released minutes of what the actual advice was. Other than that, yeah probably deck chair antics on the Titanic for sure, however, the rhetoric band will surely play on....

Ah well, most of Australia will be open for xmas, NT in January I think. MM can play on his medical advice or whatever stay shut who cares. Let’s move on with life.

I hope nobody has booked tickets to the UK for December / January. Looks like another lockdown has not been ruled out. No way I am booking to go anywhere overseas for at least another 12 months.

FWIW, anyone who is self proclaimed as the voice of reason is most likely the opposite.
well the voice of reason isn’t the one speaking so maybe actually watch the video before commenting. Because if or when the uk goes into another lockdown, the effects on Qantas and other airlines will be profound, not just because of the immediate closure of the uk but more importantly due to the loss in confidence in the public. |

Nowhere in that video does BJ mention lockdowns so I don't know what that guy is on about. Seems to be a total conspiracy channel, plenty of far right theories about vaccines, Covid hoax, marxists taking over everything, you know, the usual loony stuff. At the moment conspiracy theorists are a bit mad that their freedoms they got as a result of everyone else getting a vaccine and helping out society for a while are being lost as the consequences of a lot of them remaining unjabbed are being shown. There are some European countries tightening up restrictions but these are almost all for the unvaccinated, hopefully a push for them to get a jab. Australia has about 69% fully vaccinated now, compared to places like the UK and Germany with 67-68% and we are still increasing, should be close to 80% total population and well over 90% 12+ by year's end. Countries that reached this higher level of vaccination like Spain and Portugal haven't been affected by the current European wave. As Australia will have a much higher vaccination rate and will impose a lot more restrictions on the unvaccinated from the start of opening up then we should avoid those problems here. |
I tend to agree with Dr Dre, yes I won’t forgive the idiotic PM for his pathetic vaccine rollout, but I always knew Australia would answer the call and achieve higher vaccination rates than most other countries, hell you only have to look at the childhood vaccination rates here to see this. These so called health experts were warning of a massive spike in cases in NSW and VIC after reopening, they have been comprehensively proven bull$hit. For Christ sake it’s only a reopening for the fully vaccinated, it’s pretty common sense there would be no spike in cases.
Apparently case numbers don’t matter yet 2 days ago you had the Murdoch media going on about a disturbing upward trend yet today spruiking a massive drop in cases… I mean WTF ? Are journalists these days properly educated or are they just becoming more brain dead by the year? As a nation we have completely lost the plot, we have become a bastion of Snowflakes and idiots that are putting up a siege mentality rather than actually knowing properly what the go is overseas. Japan just had 201 new cases of Covid yesterday, in a population of 125 million. Yes bejesus in a month you can come from VIC to QLD but hell no! QLD needs 90% of 12+ before international quarantine free travel. What a frickin joke. You will need hotel quarantine coming from Japan next month but no quarantine from VIC. At the moment you have 2085% more chance of contracting Covid in VIC than in Japan but let’s open up to VIC first..we have completely lost it. The health experts have taken over and we are losing because of it. I mean the ACT just relaxed restrictions last week and they are at 95% fully vaccinated? WTF? I for one have given up on all the idiotic states bull crap , and will be using my copious amounts of leave to remove myself from any duty that requires bull dust quarantine. It’s over, wake up and sort this country out, otherwise I’m out! I do believe however come April May Australia will get a spike in cases, but that only will suck if your unvaccinated… |

Some of us still stuff it up. The Health professionals, the majority of whom would have done far more education in their field that the average line pilot, are being pilloried for doing their job in a situation where they have no tried and tested data. I suggest that we all pull our heads in, stick to what we know and let the health professionals do their job. |
Not changing jobs at all?
haha are you saying health professionals are getting a raw deal? No they deserve to leave if they are unvaccinated, simple. 98% of health professionals have done their job, do you support the nutter 2%? It’s simple get vaccinated or lose, protests won’t work. |
The interesting thing is both my parents and both my 2 siblings are doctors and they have basically said you are a complete ****wit if you don’t want the vaccine. Truth doesn’t matter until your breathing razor blades. Idiots.

I apologize for my previous message. I lost the manners.

I haven’t been bothered to weigh in on this thread for months now because the idioti frankly are not worth my time. This last idiot even less so.

It takes years based, exponentially, on the available funding. Throw more money and it takes less time.
