What the absolute f***

Black Hops and Grean Beacon. Bloke is a moron but he's got bloody good taste in beer.

And an organic wholefoods shop. The story tells itself really.

Looks like that's all he has between the ears - beer.

This campaigner needs to be made an example of. What an absolute *******.

Could end up being a decent cluster now. Complete idiot and needs jail time for that.

And now it turns out the information about hosting a party is completely false... Qld attorney-general refusing to apologise as well, despite the individual being slaughtered across social media.

Apparently the person is living in a share house, put down 2-5 contacts on the form (the other people and their partners who are living under the same roof) and it has been misinterpreted as 25 by whomever processed it.

 

[RookiePick]

Well. Now I look like a campaigner.

What's the next outrage point so I can distract myself from my conclusion leaping, judgemental behaviour?

 

[Ok Boomer]

So maybe no house party. Another example of a state government jumping the gun on worst case scenarios, you cannot afford this if you want to maintain credibility, especially when you need the public to listen if an actual outbreak involving many people occurs.

Still unexplained community spread, more than happy for the borders to QLD to stay closed for now

They said that his brother had it and he has a direct link to the doctor who caught it I'm I'm hospital the other week.

Good grief

The decision to put restrictions on QLD travel came after an unexplained case linked to a cluster from two weeks prior, which meant there could have been many more cases. Eminently sensible precautionary measure. I expect restrictions will get lifted in the next few days as QLD seem on top of things again.

I'd still much rather be over cautious than risk being under cautious.

I wasn't thinking about the WA border measures. I actually think our initial response was fine with the hotspot.

Hopefully this will be a non issue after the next few months anyway.

The reality is that it's a no win situation. If they sit on that information they'd get crucified for not notifying the public & other states sooner. After the security guard case in Perth there was a 12hr delay between them finding out and McGowan making the announcement. They'd copped a fair amount of flak for that.

When you move fast in a situation like this, mistakes are made.

They should offer an unreserved apology to the individual but stand by the decision to release the best information they had at the time.

How crazy is it that JobKeeper is ending now, based on an artificial deadline instead of reality.

The pandemic is far from over, especially with our garbage vaccine rollout.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

this demonstrates that regardless where we sit we need to vaccinate fast

It's lucky we took our time setting up the vaccinations so the rollout would be streamlined and efficient.

 

[Chris_6678]

Quite a few hotel staff are refusing the vaccine which is counter productive. Get a job elsewhere.

Should be mandatory for the role.

Is this a real thing or a rumour? Have to ask these days sadly.

One of the new Covid cases in Queensland is a nurse - who hadn’t been vaccinated. i.e. A front line worker. Apparently, there’s no rush though.

I think it was our Health Minister that mentioned it a week ago saying a lot had decided not to take up the offer.

Ill see if i can find a quote.
