Unlike NSW The twice elected Premier of Victoria is locking down for 5 days to prevent export elsewhere: taking one for the greater good for this highly infectious UK strain. Congratulations for decisive firm action.

On a personal note I’m sad as my daughter and her BF and the cute labradoodle are heading back before midnight.

On Tuesday I had lunch with a friend at Brunetti’s in Carrrrlton. So when the news mentioned Brunetti’s I had a WTF moment till Tullamarine was mentioned.

Luckily I took a few hours I had accumulated off so I could at least see my oldest (and her BF) and have dinner together.

The twice elected Premier of Victoria is doing an outstanding job in this press conference.

If only Gladys demonstrated this type of leadership.

Only recently he was publicly bragging at how great his contact tracing was.

Only a few days ago he was bragging how the Victorian HQ system was gold standard and should be copied by every state

The Twice Elected Premier of Melbourne is sure good at talking himself up, pity the actions fall well short.

Meanwhile NSW now up to 25 days with no local transmission. Nothing leaking out of HQ up here despite taking 3 times as many arrivals as Victoria.

The twice elected Premier of Victoria set up the greatest contact tracing system in the history of the world.

It's just that the virus is moving at the speed of light.

Pity the Liberals don’t appear much of an alternative.
