Didn't know where to post this but yet another reason why Colbeck and  Morrison must go.

This man has just been put in charge of Aged Care. Maybe he can demonstrate to the Aged Care community?

The outbreaks of Covid-19 in two quarantine hotels – the Rydges on Swanston (now known as the Park Hotel) and the Stamford Plaza – accounted for more than 20,000 cases of Covid-19 and more than 800 deaths.

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/dec/21/daniel-andrews-apologises-for-botched-hotel-quarantine-program-in-victoria


Jenny Mikakos was man enough to resign but DantheMan will not resign even though billions of dollars of losses from business and hundreds of deaths have resulted under his watch.




......meanwhile, Sydney Stack is in Hakea prison for lying and breaking quarantine rules in WA.
No one infected, no one has died, no business closed, no one person effected but himself.

Did they both make a stupid mistake. Yes.

Something is wrong with this picture.

If a director of a company made the same mistake as Dan Andrew’s and 800 deaths resulted what would happen to that director?

NSW is just another example that covid makes the rules until we are all vaccinated. Anyway hopefully Sydney's geography of separated 'boroughs' means health authorities up there can contain the outbreak to the north shore which has now been put into lockdown.

NFI.

The rules as you state are very clear. NSW have a gold standard way of running things and Victoria hasn't. You, 65 and the other leftys would have locked the state on 1 case.

'The "we" are all vaccinated part is even more hilarious.

i bet if andrews didnt screw up 800 lives and countless businesses you wouldnt be commenting like this.

That narrative suits now. Lets be really honest here WP.

Sorry to disappoint you Frank but yes I would be commentating like this and I was indeed being honest.

The situation in NSW has nothing to do with politics, what happened in SA a few weeks back had nothing to do with politics. That was my point.

I don't know why you continue to try and drag me into a political discussion about it.

Since mid year my postings on this topic has solely been about COVID. I have not made political comments. Prior to that I actually gave out kudos to ALL sides of politics because I was prepared to take the bias blinkers off

I have explained multiple times why I will no longer post anything of a political nature on this forum.

I know this doesn't sit well with you and there isn't much I can do about it. I sometimes wonder why you continue to try and make every one of my post in this thread about politics.

But to make it easier for everyone I will no longer post in this thread either....

Correct. Since mid year dan's party screwed the state up, and that is when you and others decided not to discuss his shortcomings and failures. Very convenient i must say.

Do i have to dig up commentary during the bushfires. Why wasn't everyone so quiet then. Scomo Marketing this that must be sacked.

Imagine if this was the o'brien fella who was in charge of things.

Bottom line is there is some political grandstanding going on here, and its laughable really. At least 65 has been very consistent for many years.

I have explained very respectfully I might add why I no longer comment on politics

And your response is to mock, belittle and refer to it as grandstanding

Whatever ..

Glad you got a laugh out of it

30 new cases and 70 venues around Sydney linked to this outbreak. If this continues to get worse they'll have to go into a full city lockdown.

Btw, Vic border to shut at midnight to the whole of Sydney.
Don't think Gladys has the guts.

The gutsy thing to do is actually listen to the science and treat people respectfully - which is why this latest outbreak is now under control with 140,000 tests in 3 days.
NSW have done it again  :clapping

The rules as you state are very clear. NSW have a gold standard way of running things and Victoria hasn't. You, 65 and the other leftys would have locked the state on 1 case.
Another BS strawman argument and you wonder why people have stopped replying to you :sleep.

You're contradicting yourself as well. When the SA Lib government chose a quick and immediate total lockdown to eradicate their outbreak a.s.a.p. you praised it but now you're mocking that same strategy because the NSW Lib government is against it and is still trying the old "suppression" tactic which every other state and territory has abandoned.

If Victoria over the past month had like NSW has had in that time - multiple quarantine breaches, a contract tracing system that has no idea how the breach that started this outbreak occurred, no knowledge who was patient zero and no chance of knowing, the continued lockdown of part of the capital city, and an outbreak that continues to spread into areas that were clear weeks after the initial outbreak including into other states causing the state borders across the country to all shutdown again - you'd be doing your nut at Andrews on here. But because it's a Lib government up in NSW the above is "gold standard" :facepalm.

Now I'm not blaming any NSW polly for this outbreak. I'm not the one obsessed in playing politics with a 1-in-100 year global pandemic. This virus makes the rules and as such no quarantine system is water-tight nor is any contact system infallible no matter how good and continually improved it is (eg: sewage testing is major help in early detection across the country now). But leave out parroting their insular Sydney propaganda slogans and their constant insecure need to tell the rest of the country how great they are :sleep while they try and blame the rest of the country for the consequences of their outbreak. If NSW wants to be useful then hold an independent inquiry to find out how this outbreak started and breached their quarantine system and how all states can avoid such a breach in the future. Was it via an international flight crew, US embassy building contractors or something else?

ps. By the way, the most hilarious thing about your post is Morrison last week said the same thing as I posted  :shh. He also said there have been mistakes over the year by governments around the country (i.e. including his own), but it's how we all learn from these mistakes and respond to the next challenge that is more important in dealing with this global pandemic. Even I'll admit it was one of his best press conferences. So you're also claiming your beloved Morrison has "NFI" too :shh.

'The "we" are all vaccinated part is even more hilarious.
So a vaccine isn't necessary to ultimately control and beat covid? :huh3



pps. For the record too in case you now have a dig at me for hardly posting, my uncle who was diagnosed with terminal cancer deteriorated significantly from the midpoint of last year and he ultimately died in November. Sorry but family comes first, second and third.
