NSW is holding a second press conference today, at 2pm. That can't be good news.

The lesson here is if NSW with the best contact tracing in the country can't stop this Delta strain without locking down, nothing can.

Things could get very ugly with travelling Victorians seemingly wanting to make every other state pays.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Guy from Melbourne went to Sydney to see his daughter and bought Covid back with him. Heard on the radio another Victorian may have potentially infected hundreds of people at an NT mine, those people are FIFO and are now all over the cou try.

Also lets not mention the 2 dicks who drove up to Qld through NSW and now have over $10k in fines.

And the 15 Sydneysiders from the red zone who tried to get into Vic today but got sent back? I heard that the miner looks likes he got infected the day after he left Vic? If you love NSW so much leave Vic and join them. I don't believe any State or Territory have any better behave people than any others, we have all got selfish pricks in every state!
It effing annoys me that people are always blaming Vic.

Three travellers from New South Wales have been arrested in the South Australian outback town of Coober Pedy after earlier trying to fly into the Northern Territory.

SA Police said two women and a man had flown from Griffith to Coober Pedy in a private plane on Thursday, even though they were not allowed to enter South Australia.

They were denied entry to the NT on Friday and returned to the outback opal mining town.

Police say they were tracked down to a karaoke session at the United Bowling Club early this morning and will appear in court on Monday.

I think it's sad what the country is turning into since the pandemic started.

We're dividing ourselves as if we're living in a pre-Federation era. We're all Australians at the end of the day.

I hope NSW can get on top of this outbreak.

Mate, did u see your glorious leaders presser today about how good NSW are; FFS. This Federal government has been a disaster picking sides, picking favourites, being incredibly divisive while failing to take any responsibility for providing quarantine leadership.

When a right winger says look how divisive we’ve become ignores the elephant in the room: the fish has rotted at Scotty from Marketing’s head. (Far be it from me to mix my animal metaphors)

Sheesh

The miner quarantined in Brisbane before flying to NT.
At this stage it is thought that they caught COVID in the quarantine hotel

The Coalition Clowns are the Major Reason why he so far behind with our Vaccination Roll Out and that is said to be the Main Thing that will stop Lockdowns and what we are only about 5% of people who are Fully Vaccinated.

Places like the UK and US are looking to open back normal again soon

No, the delta strain has come from Victorian hotel quarantine leak and air crew in NSW, the SA leak was something separate and in Victorias case, probably very lucky they were already in lockdown before it started spreading too quickly.

But the latest Victorian hotel quarantine outbreak gets sidelined because the case from SA happened first.

Hotel Quarantine when Covid is in it is pretty much Useless

"your glorious leader"?

My post was apolitical.

If we want to play this game, “your glorious leader” in Victoria killed 800 people last year while he got a pay rise and abdicated responsibility.
