Note they have never disclosed this so called fantastic science and medical advice or the brilliant model we work on. What about the yesterday's statement from the WHO, that lockdowns were meant to bend the curve only. After that you contact trace. All to hard apparently, just lock it down so much easier. https://www.worldometers.info/corona...try/australia/ The graph shows about a month ago lockdown should of ended. Again today, VIC 13 cases, fully lockdown stage 4, compulsory masks and NSW, 12 cases, fully open, no lockdown where a mask if you wish. And I heard on 3aw today that a lady broke the 5km rule and actually went 6km to get to the IGA shopping centre. Not a good enough excuse I'm afraid, that will be $1652 mam. The talk back is starting to get angry now. Don't hold your breath for Sunday. Get on top of that issue and we will all be better off. |
They need about 2-3 weeks of single digit figures down south before opening the flood gates. That mid teens with mass rapid openings will be back in the 50s in the matter of a month then it’s rinse and repeat and it’s now March and we are back where we are today.
I get the anger and fatigue, and yes this all of result of Spring St, however this cannot get out of hand otherwise it’s going to take until Easter to get back to this point. Starving people of freedom for so long then opening up the gates, has not been done here yet and the results of such rapid movement could go any way. Think of the chaos that will be seen at Shopping Malls. It’s going to spread like wildfire I think. |

Get on top of that issue and we will all be better off. implement what NSW have done. A couple of so called Vic health experts went up to NSW to learn about contact tracing about a month ago and have they leant or thrown the concept out the window. Don't know. Not one press conference on that subject. Peta Credlin grilled Dan on this not just that 6min call and the standard cold face answer. I will determine what's best for the state according to the science. Gosh that's good answer spin at it's best. If you open up do the obvious things (mask, space, sanitise etc) then tracing should keep cases <15. If not, then Dan has proved (in fact already proved) that lockdowns don't work. That's according to the latest information WHO released according to the science. |

If you could clone Gladys or Dan to run all the other states I know which one I would chose. Let the facts make your mind up not what political party somebody in your family decided to vote for & advised you to go the same way & never consider the alternative. |

McCoward’s house of cards is looking shakier by the day:
https://www.watoday.com.au/national/...14-p56549.html |
Agreed, the mistake of assuming broad support for hard borders will soon be revealed.
|
It backs up what many of us have suggested for a long time saying all states except Vic and NSW should have unrestricted travel between them. From the article...
“Premier Mark McGowan has been “caught out on his political decision” to keep WA’s border closed after his Chief Health Officer told a parliamentary inquiry the state could open to five of the other seven Australian jurisdictions.” :ugh: |
The WA legislation sounds different to QLD...
Regarding the QLD border - "The powers granted to the Chief Health Officer in a public health emergency are extensive." "Although the final decision is made by the Chief Health Officer, the Premier is able to contribute information that the State Government considers relevant." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-...harge/12753776 So in the QLD context at least, measures taken are unlikely to change regardless of the government of the day. Given the calibre of our politicians, probably not a bad idea. |
So, yeah. You can now fly from UnZud to New South Wales, the Territory or South Australia, either direct, or via Sydney - and not have to undergo quarantine. Yet you cannot fly from anywhere in Australia to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Westralia without being forced to undergo 2 weeks mandatory - but completely voluntary remember! - detention at your own cost...
Yep, we're certainly living up to that concept of Federation alright! :mad: |
TAS will open to NSW 2nd November. As proven NSW has the best contact tracing team in the country if not the world its been proven with their quick actions on potential breakouts that’s undeniable.
QLD and WA will find it harder to keep their borders closed past November without having to answer for it now. November will certainty be an interesting month for those two states. Hopefully QLD people have woken up to Queen P and that idiot SM who has demonstrated he is actually a child and should not be in the job. |
So apparently now, any Qlders can drive as far south as feral Byron Bay without restriction(not sure why anyone would want to, except to get drugs) & apparently now anyone from NSW including SYD can drive to Byron Bay without restriction, so Qlders & those from SYD can mix at Byron, but they can't fly SYD/BNE/SYD or BNE/SYD/BNE without restrictions/quarantine.
Is this nuts ? |
Is this nuts ? With growing discontent in Queensland around the border closure, could we see a last minute pre election border announcement from Queen P as a cynical way to try win some more votes? |

To be honest I don’t want QLD ppl here, our testing is 3 times higher than theirs our contact tracing is ten fold Better than theirs and covid is running rampart in their sewage so one has to ask. Is QLD actually doing as good as they make out? The even scarier thing is that QLD ppl will vote Queen P and Idiot SM back in which well.....I’ll stop there.... |
Today is the day, lets see if Queen P and that idiot SM side kick of hers make a rational, science based announcement.

No excuses gladys! Don't be a hypocrite

Interestingly this afternoon the online Courier Mail had an online article stating that a decision on the border full opening would be made on the Friday prior to Saturdays vote.
Within a very short time frame the article disappeared. Lets see what happens. |
One of the best presentations you will ever see. |

I don't think we need to listen to this guy (a history writer btw) or his moronic countrymen across the Pacific for medical advice, how about follow the lead of our neighbours to the near north who've controlled the situation far more successfully. |
This inept QLD are rally something. They are going to release a "road map" for border opening on Friday not sure why a road map is needed just open in damn thing, it shouldn't be closed anyway. In the mean time they let their resident hang out in Byron Bay without realizing over 1000 supposed highly infections and contagious Sydney and NSW people go.

The NSW border is still closed to people in Victoria. Even NSW residents, who have only been in regional Victoria, have to spend two weeks quarantine in Sydney to get home. And NSW still doesn’t have a roadmap or timeline for opening their border. |
Layman,
why would NSW need a roadmap or timeline for opening their border?.....Their borders are all ready open, with the only restrictions being to those that have been in Victoria within the last 14 days (with exceptions for Border residents etc). They are even allowing International NZ arrivals. And fair in enough re restricting those who have been in Victoria. Even the Victorian Government is still cautious as to whether they have Covid under control or not......the Melbourne Metro still has the 25 mile “RIng of Steel”, so why would NSW allow unimpeded travel from Vic? |
Regional Victoria is ‘banned’ as well even with lower case numbers than Sydney.
The ACT has a list of Victorian postcodes that can come to Canberra without quarantine but that seems too hard for NSW |

Sorry. Can't agree..
It seems NSW are unable / unwilling / too lazy to differentiate between regional Victoria and Melbourne. The ACT manages this by examining postcodes. Why can't NSW do the same? NSW residents can't return home even when they have been in Covid free areas in Victoria for months - unless of course they fly from Melbourne to Sydney, quarantine for 2 weeks ($3,000), before driving home. Almost back to the border, Eden, in the case of one bloke I have spoken to. He hasn't been home to his family since before August. Pre-Covid, he used to drive home every 2nd weekend. We're now able to transit through NSW back to the ACT, but this has only changed this week. The area we're in has had 2 Covid cases since April ..,,,, |

Well there goes qld. That moron is scared of her own shadow, and with the timing of four unlinked cases, we can kiss travel goodbye again. All because some peanut took a tour of Sydney whilst sick.
|
Queen P is never going to open the border, not sure what would lead you to believe otherwise. W.A and QLD are just exposing their inadequate control of the virus. I understand they cant do what NSW are doing we just have to learn that those states will stay closed for the foreseeable future.

I still believe that the State Govt's. are the masters of their own destiny and it's worth looking at how necessary it is for their existence. |

No doubt the vic govt need to be made accountable for the hotel quarantine f up but overall the rules imposed(& yes,i hated them) have worked. Almost 50,000 tests in the last 2 days,hopefully lo numbers continue. |
Yep I agree. QLD carry on as if they’re the best whilst only conducting 900-2500 test a day. VIC are now killing it hopefully their contact tracing is up to the task tho. Gladys made a few very valid comments on WA and QLD today I would love to see those premiers reply to her comments, they would have nothing.
