No why would I, that’s not what I’m paid to do
All I’m saying is after two years if we can’t cope with 1000 extra patients across a state, imagine the carnage if we ever have to deal with a more serious pandemic (compared to the one right now with a relatively mild strain and 95% vax rates)
If we’re looking at using hotels as make shift hospitals now that sounds like a step in the right direction, I wouldn’t be surprised if 50% of the patients currently in care wouldn’t be better off just resting at home
It's like planning a pregnancy, lol. Man plans, God laughs.I think we've covered this angle somewhere in the previous 500 pages, but thought it worth posting this article:
Everyone at Mark's house party caught COVID but him. He's furious
As COVID-19 spreads throughout Australia, some people want an infection "over and done with". But experts warn there are potentially severe consequences of trying to catch the virus.www.abc.net.au
This is not related to the visa issues, purely commentary on media apologists getting their 'views' on Djokovic our there on the ABC website.
Firstly Tracey Holmes' initial article when the saga commenced, sounded like a fan-girl rather than a journalist. (She's since toned down her bias in subsequent articles.) No, Tracey, getting one Slam win ahead of Nadal/Federer doesn't automatically confer 'greatest' status on him. Just ask anyone to name all the test batsmen who have made more career runs than Bradman.
Then there's this today from European correspondent Isabella Higgins:
In Serbia, there's anger at Australia. It's about more than seeing Novak Djokovic play
In Serbia, Novak Djokovic is not just a tennis star, he's a national hero who has brought hope and light to the country after dark times, Isabella Higgins writes from Belgrade.www.abc.net.au
"It was here the tennis star spent time as a child at his grandfather’s apartment, and where locals say he sheltered from bombs that dropped on the city during the Kosovo War in the late 1990s."
Makes it sound like the Serbs were victims. No context about them being the acknowledged genocidal aggressors following the Yugoslavian breakup.
(Full disclosure: I have some minor Slovenian heritage, so no skin in the game in any Serb-Bosnian-Croat conflict, just find it disingenuous that a journalist on the ground could write something like that.)
Anyway, not COVID related per se, just an observation of 'journalism'.
Arguments finished, Court's adjourned, judgment to be delivered later this afternoon. I don't know how long you persevered but what looked like a fight on quality of evidence became a fight on what the parameters of the Minister's discretion are and whether Hawke complied. In football terms, after half time, Bev changed the game plan, the game was forced onto Bulldog's strengths, the umpires got more involved and this time it isn't Razor Ray. Fingers crossed.Listening to the court case with interest. There is no way Djokovic should lose this case on the evidence given and the reason the visa was revoked. The world is watching and we as a country are also on trial.
Holmes has form, up to her armpits in the sacking of the Matildas coach after
It’s part of the deal to post on our board, isn’t it?Hello, Kwality. welcome back. On behalf of the Club Marketing Department, are you interested in buying an interstate membership ?
I haven’t tuned in at all today but I thought it was always going to be about whether the minister has exercised his discretion properly (not sure if “fairness” is even a factor).Arguments finished, Court's adjourned, judgment to be delivered later this afternoon.

No mention of all the Ratko Mladic murials which outnumber the Djokovic ones in Belgrade. Serbs can rightfully support Novak and his current fight to stay in Australia, but they just cannot resist playing the historical victim card.This is not related to the visa issues, purely commentary on media apologists getting their 'views' on Djokovic our there on the ABC website.

Ministers aren't dictators. Hawke had to exercise his discretions along strictly prescribed, by the Migration Act and by Courts, guidelines. legal speak is just the opposite of double dutch, it's obsessively specific. Courts don't always give the result you want but they are independent and impartial, (trumpets sounding and orchestra in crescendo) they guarantee us our quality of life.Sometimes legal speak is double Dutch to me, but the legal team for the government were saying that Djokovic’s didn’t actively say he was an ‘anti-vaxxer’ but by his actions he was promoting ‘anti-vax’ sentiment in the community??? I think the community had made up its own mind well before the Joker came to town. And if they are talking about a few hundred Serbs waving flags in the city then that is a strange argument. An interesting but also strange case. It will have ramifications down the path no matter which way they decide.
Pity. It was viewing well worthwhile, a model of listening to the other bloke's argument, treating it with respect, destroying it without deriding the opponent. Wood and Lloyd are among the very best in Australia, probably the World. I don't know the Biloela case. Courts are in the business of determining whether parties comply with their obligations by Law or agreement. Australian Courts are (louder Orchestra crescendo) as good as is possible. You don't always get the result you want but you do get certainty. You are among the last on BF to need the lesson.I haven’t tuned in at all today but I thought it was always going to be about whether the minister has exercised his discretion properly ..... The unresolved case of the Biloela family springs readily to mind.

Leave the lass alone, Libbver, she's young and trying to make her way in the World. Your ancestors, like mine, left the Old World for many reasons, including that no one looked after them. Here, we do.No mention of all the Ratko Mladic murials which outnumber the Djokovic ones in Belgrade.

In the Federal Court, there are no good guys. The Law is the Ultimate Umpire. PS Keep 'em coming, Scrag. Premiership in 2022 ?Which side are the good guys in this narrative?

Crickey, Scragg, didn't Ms O'Connor at Braybrook High, Year 11 clear thinking English teach you anything ?I haven't been watching the trial but I thought you were comparing one of the barristers to Bevo. Just because the court doesn't recognise good guys and bad guys, that doesn't preclude a spectator such as yourself from doing so.
Thankyou, DW. I hadn't tuned in. Justice prevails.lSo the court has decided the minister did NOT act unreasonably.
