He doesn't. He will be long gone before the next election.

Irony not your strong suit?

Yes its a pain in the arse, but having done it so long now, it seems normal. In fact you see someone without a mask and it seems out of place.

I think mask wearing will be with us, in Melbourne at least for quite some time yet.

Not sure what you mean, but cheers, I wonder if everyone will require them in the workplace or playing sport.

The world just gets weirder.

They should have just fessed up and everyone would have moved on.
It was, in all probability, an unforeseeable mistake that has turned into a massive widespread lie and cover up.
Sorry; we ****ed up goes a long way to chucking cold water on a fire
Some people are saying that they are trying to avoid liability.
I haven't checked the Victorian Act (I'll do it later) but the SA Govt and officials have immunity for that sort of thing under the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act 2020

Others are saying that they could be charged under their new Workplace legislation which went way too far to appease the CFMEU.
The irony of that coming back to bite them.

In other news, we are going to see a lot more of this in the near future

Cathay have announced they are eliminating 8,500 jobs.

Breaking | Cathay Pacific to eliminate 8,500 job posts in HK$2.2 billion restructuring, 5,300 redundancies in Hong Kong

There's going to be widespread personal problems in the world when this starts happening everywhere

His approval ratings are the basically the same as Morrison's and the opposition is a rabble.

I didn’t say that Liberal would win though.

I'm no lawyer but there is definitely no corresponding indemnity in the Victorian legislation: Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 or
COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Act 2020

The plot thicken and maybe the glass window is clearer as to why they are denying knowledge

I can't see his party ousting him with approval ratings like that and with no credible threat.

I have no doubt there will be globally be significant secondary consequences such as suicides related to job cuts etc etc.

I have no doubt on reflection in 10 years time if this was to happen again there would be a different approach based on the learnings from now.

In fairness to governments globally this was such a rare event which no one had ever dealt with before.

[Jimmy_041]

Agreed
A couple of points:

Every public health dept has (should have had) a plan in place. These plans are put together by people properly qualified in a number of relevant areas including, and most importantly, public health (Ie) this sort of event.
I’ve read the SA legislation and it would appear that they instituted it despite a few hiccups. Here we are.
The SA State Govt (Cabinet) assigned power to the State Administrator (Police Chief), CMO & senior PS.

The Victorians, basically, chucked theirs out the window as politicians interfered and made decisions for political purposes. There they are. Mind you, their Police Commissioner didn’t want anything to do with the quarantine scheme as shown by evidence to the inquiry.

The problem now is the SA administrators are too scared to open the state back up for fear of getting a 2nd wave.
That’s where the anger comes from. Yes; they have smashed the 2nd wave by shutting the place completely down. But, maybe, if the government had instituted the established plan, they wouldn’t have had to.
Imagine where the Australian economy would be if Victoria’s 2nd wave hadn’t happened. We would have been in “Covid normal” months ago

There’s a Netflix doco on pandemics. I started watching it. Time to revisit

Given it was a pile of shit before the pandemic, I imagine it would still be a pile of shit.

Dan deploying drones on patrol over metro Melbourne on Saturday to police Grand Final gatherings in family homes. Big Brother much?

Smart stuff. Keep that Richmond rabble under control while Geelong fans drink at pubs.

These should have been deployed a few months ago, but then the Police knew people were gathering in public and didnt issue any fines/warning

Good numbers from Victoria again today and the all important Dan scale (14 day rolling ave) is at 5.5.

Victoria's main issue is that Vic Heath are that much of a rabble they couldn't contract trace a drunk stumbing out of a pub.

People say Dan will be replaced, Well yeah Probably but Christ have you seen the Vic Liberal party lol makes the SA Libs look me a well oiled machine. Tim Smith hahahaha.

Not necessarily. If your good at your job and your skill set is too specialised then you find it hard to get another job.
