Don't forget though, that Tannin is the person that said this in relation to the falsely accused party of 25 at home guy:

"Correct weight. Absolute scumbag. You get locked up for doing other, equally stupid things that risk people's lives (such as driving at 160k in a 60 zone), no reason this should be any different."

I think many people would have thought that with the initial information provided.

Yes, you're right.
What I was really doing was commenting upon his hypocrisy as he was complaining about Morrison doing the same thing, and not apologising, albeit on a different covid related issue.

Lot’s of Queenslanders especially from SE QLD go to Byron Bay: Brisbane is much closer to BB than is Sidanee so I wouldn’t use that as an example.

The best case in point for exporting the virus is still held by Gladys Berijiklian.

The first contacts in this recent spread from QLD are related to a Dr I believe. While I’m not sure how he got it I thought it was related to people who were in PNG where it is out of control and they don’t have anywhere near the facilities to deal with it and unfortunately our Government has been far too slow to assist our neighbours especially PNG our former “colony”

QLD more than most states will have high exposure to PNG and various islands nearby. This can be a potential significant cause for concern.

The good news is that contact tracing has identified where there are cases accurately all across Australia.

Victoria of course leads the way with zero local cases going into the second month and I know Eddie you’ll join me in congratulating the twice elected Premier of Victoria the right honourable Daniel Andrews for a job well done.

He set a much lower vaccine target than other the wealthy countries have. Easy to clear a lower hurdle, right? Not if you are Scummo: he aimed to get just 4.0 million vaccinations by today. And he actually got ... 0.6 million.
Correct weight. In the last 24 hours the Feds have tried to blame the states for the injection roll out despite the fact that the Feds have most responsibility ( as they do with quarantining). It was a transparent attempt if not a pathetic attempt to distract (look over there) from their huge problems with such bad behaviour with lying, sexist, misogynist and abusive men in their ranks.

Why not just work with the states rather than to make a political issue out of it?

Is there an irony in the virus being identified in Byron Bay where some vocal anti vaxxers live, where a nutter celebrity chef lives who was caught out trying to profiteer from sales of equipment with zero medical benefits but tried to say the said product would combat the Coronavirus?

There was also a case previously of an ex Labour NSW minister being jailed for that. However, the Libs win this hands down despite the odd example elsewhere.

Would you like me to show you the scorecard?

Definitional thing.
If the Libs have more doesn't it mean they are losing, not winning?

I think we call that a tragedy, rather than an irony.

I know you like to pretend it never happened, but you're yet again ignoring the hundred or so cases exported by Dan to Sydney last year when a Victorian truck driver went to Sydney whilst infectious and started the crossroads hotel cluster

Also the QLD cases started with someone from India, not PNG and is being spread by nurses in the COVID ward because QLD doesn't have health hotels, they send all positive cases to hospital and the Premier didn't think the hospital staff should be in the first 60,000 people who got the vaccine.

But yes Victoria seems to be doing great with the incompetent Premier and Minister for Hotel Quarantine both away on extended 'medical leave'.

I do hope the Minister is confined to quarantine after her recent trip to QLD. Although at least now Cath and the kids might have to stay home for Easter and look after <snip - let's not defame people, please - Pies4shaw for BBMods> if they can't escape to their second home up north.
