It’s not where you’ve been, it’s who you’ve been with..
the most important part of the article ‘without going into much detail, as contact-tracing in order to build out a picture of protestor affiliations’
And now android and iOS can communicate that data freely.

" Peter V'landys has welcomed the prospect of an AFL grand final in Sydney, cheekily suggesting the best city in the world has plenty of room for more second-rate events "


Might be begging for an NRL hub in Melbourne if NSW cases keep rising Pete.

Lukey Mc working up some witty banter no doubt!

Bachar Houli has just announced his mother is in critical state in ICU with Covid.

This is crappy news for Bachar. The muslim community has been right in the middle of this 2nd wave so hopefully his words and others will help the community get behind the lockdown and social distancing. Their religious holidays have fallen smack bang in the middle of this and that is why they have had more issues

Who the hell goes camping at Maribyrnong.
