I assumed it meant he had fallen over and not hit his head so not too serious.

Although interesting that initial reports from Merlino said no ambulance and yet this afternoon Dan is thanking AV paramedics.

But then again Merlino has never seemed too on top of things, during the fires last summer he was shocked to learn that Dan was actually away on holidays and had no idea who was actually acting Premier at that stage!

Yes your hero Scotty from Marketing went to Hawaii when Australia was burning. Andrews was always here during fires and the virus. However you and facts sleep in different beds.

You do win the prize for fiction though. Congratulations.

ScoMo took a well deserved holiday after 3 months continuous support for the NSW and QLD fires, Danny was on holidays whilst his state was burning and the EMV Commissioner was urging all Victorians on holidays in Gippsland to head home immediately.

But it was more the point that the acting Premier of the State is generally clueless to what's actually happening in his state, doesn't even know half the time when he is acting Premier

Then Albo can keep whining about Australians stranded overseas whilst ignoring the entire reason for the delay is Dan Andrews incompetence.

They are already at capacity! NSW takes about 50% of all returned travellers whilst the other states do a little and Victoria does nothing.

geez I hope he's in a public hospital. Imagine the opportunities with the Premier captive in ICU to bang home the message that Hospitals could use some more money instead of spending it all on dodgy inquiries, legal fees to avoid dodgy inquiries, digging trenches and tunnels and not building roads
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Yes and Donald Trump won the election. Like I said you and the truth lie in different beds & I use the word lie advisedly. Congratulations on your award for fiction.

The real CFA told Scotty what to do when he got back, remember?

"A firefighter has stopped to deliver a blunt and expletive-laced message to embattled Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

The unnamed firefighter pulled his truck over in front of a 7NEWS camera filming in Nelligen, on the NSW South Coast, to tell the PM to "get f**ked"

re contract tracers in Vic, they are are all useless not just Vic.
when I was considered being a 'close contact' ie Terminal 4 at Melb airport, I had all sorts of idiots calling me from various NT & QLD departments. It is clear none of them have a central database or communicate with each other. I must have explained myself 15 times from scratch again and again.
It's where the federal govemnent has failed and abrogated it's responsibility: quarantine is a federal responsibiity, period. While the national cabinet had some good successes The Morrison govenment's single biggest failure is not taking responsibility for quarantine with such things as a national system.

Very serious: Fractured ribs while very painful can also result in a punctured lung.

*Linda Reynolds (cardiac - really mental health) after not supporting a woman staffer who was raped and calling her a lying cow
*The alleged rapist Christian Porter who is not a fit a proper person to be the nations first law officer on mental health leave
* Greg Hunt a lung infection
* The twice elected Premier of Victoria the Right Honourable Daniel Andrews who has really done a job on himself being in ICU - very painful

And that has what to do with the acting premier of Victoria being completely clueless yet again?

Oh btw if you want to be the man of facts, try getting yours right. There is no CFA in NSW.

Did those articles include the bogan who blamed Scotty for the lack of funding the NSW RFS gets? Yeah, if that’s the intelligence levels of your average ALP voter, it’s no wonder they keep losing.

Actually Victoria probably leads the country with respect to time to be seen including ambulance times for Acute Health presentations which this would fit under.

Andrews has pumped heaps into acute health: it leads the country

Stop being a tosser: volunteer firefighters are volunteer fightfighters no matter what state they are in.

Even Morrison said if he had his time again he would not have made such a poor decision to go on leave when the country was burning. Scotty f*cked up & he knew it, volunteer firerfightersknew it, Scotty knew it, everyone knew it except it seems you.

You want to be anal about your facts then **** it up yourself time and time again. If you want to play the game, you’ve got to accept when you’re wrong.

CFA does not stand for “Volunteer Firefighters in any state or country...”

But given those same bogans think the Federal government is responsible for funding state fire services, well I wouldn’t be putting much faith in their opinions
