No, we don't want irresponsible self entitled people setting off a 3rd wave causing more death and economic devestation.

Agreed. Some people aren’t self entitled though. They are struggling mentally. Pretty arrogant to think it’s all because they are self entitled that they would what to watch footy with mates.

Maybe we could look at how a non preferred security company was given 30 million within 6 hrs but no one knows who gave the ok ?

We could come up with hundreds of these articles for labour or liberal depending on your preference

The company was on the recommendation of the LNP federally and used in NSW too.

Mate agree sick of all the rorting but at least the states have an ICAC .


Pretty fed up with Politicians

Christopher Pyne and the revolving door of MPs turned lobbyists

Andrew Robb, Martin Ferguson, Peter Reith and Stephen Conroy are among the former ministers who swiftly took jobs as lobbyists

Oh, they know. Blame COVID- induced amnesia.
Yet WE are the ones encouraged to tell the truth.

Everyone must tell the truth

Speaking of politics can anyone from WA explain how Basil was elected Lord Mayor of Perth?

He got the most votes. I’m not great with wa council elections but that’s my guess.

Yeah, it's going to suck and not be much fun. At least it looks like by the 1st of November it should be back to something a little easier to manage. Organise a zoom catch up if you're struggling.

It's one of those ones no-one really knows what they do so figure any nuff nuff can do it.

I’m fine but I know others aren’t. I still see my mates. And being single the only thing that changes for me on the 1st is seeing my daughter. My parents live in Mornington so outside the 25k.

Just go and see parents under the carers clause
And daughter can come see you under the same clause I thought

I can actually see my parents because I do some pruning there but it’s ordinary that you need to say you do that just to see your family that may not have much longer with us especially my dad who is in real trouble. My daughter would never break a rule. She gets very angry at me because she rates silly Dan and she knows I don’t. At least I will see her at home on or around the first and I can cook her and her boyfriend a meal which maybe more dangerous than catching COVID. I just don’t like how we are nearly forced to break rules even to live a half decent family life.

Media Watch on the ABC has been covering it for weeks

Very uneven (read corrupt) playing field

It supposedly came from the police and I guess their minister. I want to know why the cops don't want to take responsibility for it. They either have stuff on politicians or the pollies don't want to undermine the cops when they need them to police the pandemic. Either way something's a bit off there.

Just get 30 mates to meet at local swimming pool and take a TV

Why is it the cops? Why isn’t it Dan? Why did whatever the woman’s name go but not the police minister?

Sutton has been caught lying said he didn't know about private security until May has been shown he knew on the 27th of March
Its not good enough to say you forgot or can't remember

I think because the health department is the one that is ultimately running the pandemic response. I have heard from a couple of in the know people that it was a request from Vic Pol to use private security. It's really strange that they don't come out and say it. Makes something look suspicious.

To me he's been good Sutton, he's non partisan so I'm happy just to get him through until this is over and then review his position. He's actually done a really good job in keeping a clear and steady message and what he came up with seems to have worked. He might have been pulled into some bullshitting but at the end of the day it was a **** up not corruption. Some dickhead in hindsight should have used health department workers or army but it's easy in hindsight. I can forgive the mistake but they should be honest about it and just get to the bottom of it.
