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

[Saint]

it is amazing how both parties federally talk about decentralisation but for every job moved to Armidale far more are moved to Canberra without the media or politicians commenting. Have a look at Defences publically issued annual reports since Payne directed more consideration of staff outside Canberra- every state and territory now has less Defence staff in it except for Canberra where hundreds of positions have been moved to or created in costing tens of millions in high lease costs, drawing on a smaller potential workforce and even more out of touch with actual outcomes.

As jobs and industry get more sophisticated, the kind of people in high-ranking military positions are hardly going to be all willing to move to Townsville. Nor would that be where any of the support staff are.
Centralisation is happening in every part of the world. Urbanisation has accelerated in the last 300 years.

It's like pee-ing into the tide to try to force people to move to regional towns with little infrastructure, poor educational facilities and a tiny employment pool for more and more specialised work.

There are some things Govts could do to make it easier. (i.e. remove stamp duty, improve regional health and education) but at the moment they're doing the opposite of that. This Federal Govt improves shooting clubs while regional TAFE and Unis are closing their doors. There are stuff all regional nurses/doctors because how many regional tertiary institutions teach medicine/nursing?

I honestly believe they we put in place for a psychological placebo effect. I heard a lot of mums complaining how they are not going to take their kids to school in the new year due to COVID. I suspect though, just like a lot of Dan haters they are a noisy minority

I think you're right, but at $1,000 a pop it is a very expensive placebo!

friend of mine in the building industry loves him. Steel frames on houses. His income has 10x in matter of months cause all his competition didn’t want jab and he is smashing it. Different cultures didn’t get jab so he has monopoly. Product has gone up but he up sells it for more.
One success story because of Daniel Andrew’s.

One success story, how many losers .... not just the businesses, the jobs?

Yes I’m aware of a previously liberal supporter cardiologist who went absolutely apeshit during lockdown- was pissed off that he had to choose between exercising or spending time with kids at end of work day before they went to bed. Entitled first world problems

Yep. There are heaps of lawyers that get out of ever being with their kids because of their "need" to do 200km on their graphite framed bike every week

didnt happen at my booth, but may have been cfa (there was the whole dispute with them around that time off memory)

I'm in a CFA area so probably

Some of these people are highly educated, high paying jobs. Far from morons.

Education and income don't stop you from being stupid or gullible or pilled by grifters

Does usually make you think you're too smart to be conned though

This is true but I find it interesting you assume they are stupid. Likely cause they don't agree with your world view

I see you're struggling with the full post

Love to know the science behind masks needed only for grades 3-6.

They just can’t help themselves.

They haven't had two shots yet. It's not that hard.

And prep to grade 2 have?

 

[The Punter]

And prep to grade 2 have?

They won't wear them.

Why was Grade 3 the threshold and not Grade 2 or 1?

not yet currently (double dosed) vaccinated but old enough to tolerate masks would be my guess

 

[Crankyhawk]

some do but it could be a distraction and increase of teacher degree of difficulty. Besides which there is ongoing RAT (voluntary) testing

What a breath of fresh air in this place, a logical answer to a simple question!!

If your nostrils aren’t occupying Dan Andrews rear, you’re usually capable of giving logical answers.

Goes without saying I would have thought.

Haven't visited this thread for awhile, but good to see the nitpickers are still up and about.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Why was Grade 3 the threshold and not Grade 2 or 1?

Probably because it is more difficult to get very little kids to wear them.

There has to be a cutoff somewhere. Like anything in life.

These "queries" are just veiled complaints masked as being inquisitive.

 

[adogsfan5]

Been 12 months since the first vaccine was administered in Victoria. Time flies.

Yeah, I get that. Just makes it seem artificial and so arbitrary that any primary school kids still need to wear masks, particularly when secondary students don't need to. But it is what it is and has been for a long time

Because the youngsters are behind in vaccination numbers. This has been explained.

We all get it mate, you hate Andrews...but you are creating issues where there are none. The reasoning behind the mask rules for older primary kids is sound,
