I sincerely hope you never have the problem I had when my father died and my mother could not see 2 of her 3 siblings. I was refused entry etc.. I pay tax and and a born Australian. To you I say two words and one starts with f and the other with you.
That Sucks.

IF you came back you would at least do Quarantine and Fully Vaccinated but sadly Hotel Quarantine is Crap and Shown that when Covid Gets in and its Spreads

That is extremely unfortunate, ronrat, but I'm with What'sinaname, no entry for anyone would be my rule, and yes, that would include me and my family/friends.

Part of me thinks Dan allowed the virus to get in just so he could show off his lockdown prowess. Otherwise, it's too depressing to think the people we rely on in these situations really are that incompetent.

I don't know why anyone could take pride in being good at doing lockdowns, doing a lockdown is a concession that they can't contain the virus in any other way.

And statewide is just ludicrous. People in regional NSW along the Murray are having to wear masks in shops and have some restrictions, people on the other side of the river in Vic are suddenly in hard lockdown
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

The lockdown is to find out where this virus is. Remember we have infected Victorians who continued their school holiday through NSW returning home to all over the State.

IF Victoria gets on top of the current outbreak by going into this quick lockdown while NSW keeps getting smashed, it will be seen by some as vindicating Dan's (and condemning Gladys') choices from the start. It just serves as another point to distract people from the array of Victoria's phuck-ups and lack of action.

Lockdowns don't find where it is, that's what testing does.

Lockdowns are to stop transmission. If everyone is at home they can't get infected, transmission stops..

Speaking of getting smashed, NSW has 97 locally acquired cases today, 67 from Sth West LGA

Twenty-nine of the people who tested positive were out in the community for the entire time they were in the community.

Another 17 were isolating for only part of the time they were infectious.

The Dan fans are already eviscerating Gladys on social media.

Exactly.

As long as Victoria is the leader for the most deaths in the country, Andrews will remain the worst-performing Premier in the country.

His fanboys want us to forget about last year's second wave, but a lot haven't forgotten. Gladys' mistakes are tame at this stage compared to last year's incompetence in Victoria.

I can't see how this Lockdown can only last 5 Days.

Sadly I think we be in Lockdown for at least 2-3 Weeks.

It'll go an extra 5 days to the end of the following Sunday to keep people home on the weekend. 10 days in total.
