Not doubting your Dad heard it, just that I think it's wrong.
Fair Enough and You make a Good Point and I also think we would Lockdown very Quick so it would not get the Chance to Spread(Hopefully).

First Scotty from Hillsong says anyone coming from India is going to be jailed.

Then Scotty from Hillsong says no one is likely to be jailed

Today the deputy PM says no one is going to jail and Scotty from Marketing said this yesterday

Clear?

Do you keep your wife awake at night when you yell out Morrison's name in your sleep?

How can you have such a fixation on one person?

That doesn't sound healthy.

The point that you make is a reasonable one though, but that is the sort of person that rises to the top in politics. We even had Shorten a week ago saying very clearly on tv that it was well past time that we closed our border with India and he was very critical that we had not done it. A week later, on the same program, he had backflipped and said that it was disgusting that Australian citizens can't come home. There are several ways to interpret that.
1. He is a knob.
2. He has no belief about anything he says.
3. He doesn't have the mental capacity to remember what he said a week ago.
4. He is a knob.
5. He didn't want Indians here, then realised that some Australian true blue cricketers wanted to come home from the IPL
6. He is a knob.

More incompetence and lies from Victoria’s HQ program.

So not only was the government wrong to blame the man who had permission to use his nebuliser, but it turns out it may not even have been the cause in the first place!!!

^ Very strange background for a person to be made General Manager, Infection Control in the Hotel Quarantine Program in October 2020. https://au.linkedin.com/in/matiubush

I'd have expected a person appointed to that role to have years of experience in infectious disease control or institutions management, or the like.

Meanwhile, elsewhere:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-05/ ... /100117408
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the state has recorded one new case of locally acquired COVID-19.

The man, who is in his 50s, was tested yesterday after symptoms emerged and his results came back today.

Authorities believe the man, who has not been vaccinated, has been infectious since Friday.

He had not been overseas or worked in Sydney's hotel quarantine system so authorities were keeping an open mind while working to find the source of the infection, NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant said.

She said authorities hoped genome sequencing would identify the source of the infection, which could be from interstate.

Can't view it but you'd think so, but then you remember the Jobs department was originally given control of hotel quarantine then they turned it over to Corrections Victoria so they obviously still fail to see the health risks associated with it.

Extremely strange. :? His base qualification is as a Nurse but he hasn't practiced in a clinical role for some years and never in infection control.
