Yep confirmed

No press conference from the Premier Gladys just a press release and a posts on her social media accounts to announce it 

The Deputy Premier has done an interview with the ABC but that’s how it's been announced

Few weeks too late

Who cares WP it’s another state. Would you rather a press conference of mainly lies like what we have endured?

Glued to the tv to hear a whole lot of garbage from another state.

Selfish brainless gits .

Deliberately spreading the virus in new large clusters that increase new cases and exposure sites that will keep us in lockdown for longer .

When contacted by The Age, the mother of the man speaking in the video, who was also in attendance, said her family was reeling from the experience.

“My son is broken over this,” she said, declining to speak further.

Oh please, cry me a river! . You're only "reeling" because you've been caught by your own stupidity giving the rest of us the middle finger .

Covid has really exposed the selfish self-entitled turds in society  .

Yep it's another state but if you are going to lockdown an entire state then have the guts to tell them. Every other Premier in the country has done it because it's the right thing to do. It's called leadership. You don't have to agree with it, you don't have to like the person doing it but the person should have the courage to publicly make the announcement.

And the other point and more importantly is the fact we would not be in another lockdown if the NSW government had not handled their outbreak as incompetently as it has. Every current outbreak in Australia has been caused by an incursion from NSW

Exactly, and the worst part is they are same selfish self-entitled turds from last year. The same groups.

But i better not go any further because I will be accused of persecuting certain groups and that's not the politically correct thing to do

Which brings me to fines. Our state government and in particular Andrews has said that those who clearly broke lockdown rules and caused these outbreaks won't be fined. Why? Because we want people to tell the truth, come forward and get tested. What crap? 

So for my LGA that means the teacher, her optometrist football playing husband and their family members who had a get together get away with causing the havoc they have.

What a croke  IMHO it is because people know they won't get fined, punished they keep flaunting the rules. They should be punished.

I'm sick of being punished for doing the right things while these selfish morons get off so bloody lightly

Thus endeth my rant.

[Francois Jackson]

so wp let me get this right.

you blame nsw on every outbreak in this country but not ONCE Last year, not even once in 2020 you blamed the victorian outbreak on the andrews government.

Furthermore, and more importantly andrews had the same chance to go the same way as other states, who are enjoying nice freedoms, and chose not to. Result is lockdown 6 worth over 200 days now. Her fault again?

if their goal is zero cases then both governments failed to act straight away. Andrews had had 6 chances and failed all 6 times. NSW has had one.

Perhaps open your eyes and remove the bias.

You mean if NSW had learnt from and followed the other states. They were just lucky in the past even with the Ruby Princess and Avalon but this time their luck has run out. Their own hubris came back to bit them on the backside egged on by Morrison praising them for not going into lockdown early in June when there were only a few cases. They only went into a statewide lockdown 8 weeks too late and only because their CHO Dr Chant threatened to resign if it didn't happen.

Anyway, none of this would be happening now if Morrison and the Feds hadn't been asleep at the wheel stuffing up the vaccine orders and rollout and had proper purpose-built quarantine facilities built away from CBDs in the six months prior to heading into this winter.

Frankie,

Please read what I wrote

I said every CURRENT outbreak in Australia has resulted from an incursion from NSW

From tonight we will have NSW, ACT, VIC and parts of the NT in lockdown due the Delta Variant

8 weeks ago she should have locked down her state she didn't and look where we are

Last time I checked ALL states  have restrictions whether they be within their own state or regarding their borders

VIC is only back in lockdown right now because of NSW, that isn't bias that is fact. So yes it is the last 30+ days are her fault.

Perhaps you should take your own advice an open your eyes and take off your bias towards Andrews

Government's have stuffed up.

 It started 18 months ago when we took too long to close our international borders. Hotel quarantine has been abysmal (BTW the most hotel quarantine breaches has come from NSW just in case you don't know). But we should never have had needed it but because more self-entitled f-wits wouldn't isloate

We now have monumental vaccine roll out stuff up.

So you blame who you want but I blame them all..
