Police step in at quarantine hotel as infection-control fears emerge
The Victorian government hastily stood down private security in the state’s remodelled hotel quarantine program and sent in police to guard people infected with coronavirus after concerns were raised about poor infection control.www.theage.com.au
I sincerely, sincerely hope that this step was taken out of an absolute abundance of caution, because after all the s**t we've seen in recent months and the failures to rectify mistakes from March to July in the Hotel quarantine system, it really would be extraordinarily scandalous if this is still a dysfunctional mess.

After all the claims at the inquiry with responsibility and supervision and everything else............... its just enraging

Is that based on projections shared in the pressers?
That's not a bad idea. You could open up pubs, cinemas, restaurants, etc with that strategy.

“I spent 14 hours on the phone on Saturday, and not once did anyone cast aspersions on the Premier’s leadership,” said one MP
“He’s there for as long as he wants, he’s an election-winning machine, no one would argue against that,” a Left source says.
“Talk to them and it broadly goes like this: Do you think Dan’s broadly done a good job? Yeah. Do you seriously think his leadership is at risk? No."
Sources from across the caucus say they admire Andrews for his focus. He is a masterful politician and a powerful speaker and his attention is always on the task at hand, whether it’s the infrastructure agenda that defined his first term or the coronavirus pandemic that’s haunting his second.
People inside Labor realise that Andrews is a household name. Families regularly tune into Daily Dan press conferences, young children recognise him and teenagers are still turning him into memes on social media.

Now here is one WorkSafe will look at:
Carers at COVID-ravaged Epping Gardens claim they were pressured to delay testing
One of the aged care homes hit hardest by coronavirus slashed staffing on the cusp of Victoria’s second COVID-19 wave and has been accused of instructing workers to not only delay getting tested for the virus but to keep working while awaiting test results.
The Age has obtained emails outlining “instructions by management” at Epping Gardens to cut carers' shifts in the weeks before coronavirus swept through the home, leaving 37 people dead and infecting almost all of the 120 residents.
"These poor people," said a former employee. “Many are now dead”.
Grieving families and former staff are taking civil action against the company, alleging it failed its duty of care.

In the same 2PP was 51.5, which is marginal.

So, the approval ratings one has less value than two party preferred.

Victoria has not closed its borders.....Wow, you have no idea what you're actually talking about... Because we are stuck in a border bubble which has yes been modified many times doesn't mean living in Victoria we get to any of the freedoms that NSW has unless we go there and up until not long ago i wasn't allowed even in to NSW...
Astonishingly ignorant statement...

‘People making mistakes during training?’ Well dur
Also what makes Police or even ADF people magically better than 'private security guards'
Do people realise that private security guards routinely guard hospitals, army bases all kinds of places. Its just the Hot Hotels are and the infectiousness dont forgive mistakes lightly.
Given one whole hotel was 'hot' and only 3 cases led to all the infections, it shows many infections were quarantined successfully

I can't take polls seriously after the last federal election, which had Shorten winning easily, even the bookies paid out. Whilst i have been pretty clear on hear of my dislike of politicians, i thought Shorten would have made a good prime minister more so over what we have now, and would be inclined to vote Labor here in Vic if they could somehow get him in to the state party.

Don't sweat on the famous five – it's the mystery numbers that count: Sutton
Professor Sutton said on Wednesday that he and his colleagues had moved, as case numbers dropped towards single digits, to placing greater weight on the "story" behind each diagnosis, and confirmed they were prepared to be flexible on that magic number.
He said the raw daily case numbers were now less important for the big-picture decisions than the origin of each individual infection and whether it could be tracked and traced.
"It’s the most prominent criteria," he said. "We will absolutely look to those mystery cases in particular and those sporadic ... individual community cases which are often mystery cases."

Why not train the staff before placing them in a high-risk environment?

Agree, when the polls are close ie within MoE we should look skeptically at them
But when they show a huge disparity the MoE is not an issue

Not likely, this is not America and trump-esque politics.
Will do a main stream media interview at most.

With another 15 today, they'd want to be all over this!
Almost at a point where they could and should subtract known clusters (practically all aged care now) out of the numbers and have a second adjusted number.

It often wonder how people got to be so thick, it would be a very interesting research project
How do you feel about QAnon?
5G?
Bill Gates?
When people know the govt is just waiting to confirm the numbers over 14 days, they relax.
Again, tracking is the key. People can pick holes all they want (often justified) but base logic says its more effective with numbers in the teens. Just need to guard against complacency

Could you explain how the polls are faked, please? How specifically are you disputing them?
