The Perth Thread - Part 4

Essential has a broad definition though

If you're owned by a big corporation or parent company, you'll be deemed essential.

Meant to be flying out tomorrow morning to the Pilbara, reckon FIFO is still good to go tomorrow?

Not with BHP it isn't. Luckily I'm on holidays or else I would have been flying back to WA today and unable to get up to work.

 

[Off The Couch]

I think we can safely assume that the hold on FIFO workers comes straight from the top.

The mining cases out of that mining camp in QLD has shut that mine down and that would be the very last thing they would want. No Govt. would make that call without already having approval from Triggy and Gina

Rio is also canned. Will know more today but expecting it to be the length of the lockdown.

The mining camp is in the NT. The case came from QLD, it is a gold mine. Gina is a minnow behind RIO, BHP and FMG.

Roads seemed pretty busy this morning, didn't even feel like a lockdown

May be because I start fairly early when a lot of other 'essential' workers probably would too

Whisper about 3 more positives.

And four days turns into seven etc

These cases and hotspots are north of the river. Can we just lockdown those dirty northerners and leave those of us in God's country to go about our lives?

I have to go and work with those dirty northerners in scrubbertown Joondalup a couple of days a week, sometimes it takes over 2 hours to get back to my island paradise. Couple of people that work in the same building as me have been contacted and are in iso waiting for negative test results.

People that foam and froth over these press conferences are a special breed. Why exactly was that required just update saying there have been no new cases.

And yet no flights as far as I’m aware left today

there was also around 180 WA workers out of that camp that were being tested

I used to see a pretty intelligent, feminist lassie and she and her housemate would prop their iphone against a coffee cup to watch the latest press conference.

she'd propagate these rumours I swear she just made up.

also went on about 'long covid' and all this sort of shit. did get to take drugs and root all lockdown weekend though...

Yep, was just correcting the information you posted.

Zero cases seems odd given it's the soopa doopa wacky do variant.

If the football was allowed to happen it could have been 10,000 times that zero figure

Wow such insight. You should be the CHO's advisor.

At least he'd probably be coherent. Poor Andy.
