Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 6

[carltonchelsea]

Of course NSW are ahead for now. omicron spread there first. I expect VIC to exceed NSW shortly.

And yet you want to ignore “hypotheticals”, hmmn

 

[Tiger08]

No it is guessing/hypothetical - Victoria/Andrews=Bad, NSW/Perrottet=Good.

Is it based on what you would like it to be?

You're in f&^king la-la land if you think Victoria has handled the pandemic better overall than NSW. Only the most biased Labor hack would even try to make a case for that.

But more importantly for now.. the RAT shortage is a massive problem which I can't believe isn't getting more coverage. When are they all arriving?? You can't get them anywhere.

Today's 40k case numbers are half PCR tests from 6 days ago and half from yesterday for the few people who can find RATS who need to use them. It's impossible to know how many cases we have and it's a massive problem for essential services..

La La land?

What imaginary post are you replying to?

 

[Sttew]

Anecdotally I am told from two groups of Victorians holidaying in QLD that the virus is rampant but the QLDanders don’t care to get tested like Victorians do i.e. hypothetically the case numbers in QLD are a lot higher than reported.

No question. I’ve heard similar things

Nah. Most of the cases here are NSW and Vic tourists and their friends/relatives they are visiting, hypothetically.

I only know of a couple of people that have even been pinged as close contacts.

Yeah the Vic govt shouldn't have canceled all restrictions and let the virus rip, bad bad Dan.

I found the thread with the immigration lawyer (retired)

he didn’t explain at all. That’s quarantine exemption. I have never been an immigration lawyer

Did you read all 7 parts?

 

[Pessimistic]

yes and what a waste of 30 secs. Part 3 the fed govt letter says it’s not an exemption from quarantine on entry. Visa not mentioned. This retired immigration lawyer missed that or is deliberately constructing a false argument

in fact the first time refusal of visa mentioned is when scomo needed a diversion. A female player had already been granted a visa. Rules applied equally?

they covered their tracks by belatedly asking her to leave

my last point is I’m not an immigration lawyer but I can understand obtaining a visa from fed govt is different from obtaining a quarantine exemption from state govt

both things put into operational by the Australian border force (of which my personal experience on 9 November was a wave through after I nodded when asked ‘vaccinated mate?’ I had come through aus citizen channel though

a distant friend of a friend is isolating due to pickin it up at the big bash. MCG Crowd was sow low you think there could have been distancing

no doubt while scomo was at the cricket many people would have caught it there. Presumably vaccinated

 

[Hoops]

Uh oh, Dan haters prepare yourselves.

Djokovic pictured maskless at public event one day after positive Covid test

Novak Djokovic faced fresh controversy over his attempt to enter Australia after pictures emerged on social media of his appearances at public events after a positive Covid test was recorded in mid-December

www.theguardian.com

Time for the rest of us to grab some popcorn, because the only ones involved in this clusterfu** seem to be Novak, the Feds and TA.

If it wasn't for the feds stepping in, then a lot on here would still be blaming Dan for letting him in.

Quarantine isn't the issue, its his legal visa requirements eg documents he said he had and now has to produce.

Anyway IDGAF I just found out my mum has covid and that is all that matters to me ATM

the letter from the feds - hunt only mentions quarantine exemption. Both this tweeter and the herald sun don’t twig the difference….or don’t want to

Anyway best wishes you and yours

Given everyone is going to get it anyway, maybe we should follow the chickenpox route and start throwing Covid parties. Just get it over with and we can move on.

Not sure if that works. There is reinfection concerns although more those who didn’t have omicron getting omicron. Not clear if omicron reinfects omicron. Unlike chickenpox which is mostly lifrr eg long and the driver is adults get bad disease and minimal for kids

Then of course how many people that went to chickenpox parties will have to deal with shingles

What part of the health system unable to cope do you not understand?

1 in 3 adults will get shingles and you can only get shingles if you’ve had chicken pox.

Expecting RWNjs to mute was always a recipe for disaster. Pleased about the change.



Interesting take.

So no Australia Day parade

Can you not tell the difference between a protest and a parade?

It’s a disgrace. I live near St Kilda Rd so went to the 2020 parade. People from over 100 countries proudly celebrated their cultural heritage and the diversity of Australia by marching and performing in the parade. Jacinta Allen will have us believe nobody wanted the parade anymore.

The decision to scrap the Australia Day parade is classic kowtowing to the cancel culture movement
