I can't remember what your nominated charity was. I'm assuming it wasn't the Catholic Church or a political donation to the Libs to the benefit of Scott Morrison.

I called up to book in expecting at least a 60 day wait and the receptionist advised me that they just had a cancellation and would I like that appointment, I said yes. Arrived at 3pm, had the consent form filled out. I didn't feel a thing and headed out to the waiting room where I had to wait 15 minutes to see if I had a reaction of which I had none. I was out the door at 3.20pm. No reaction today and went into work and feel fine. Second jab in 3 months. I asked the nurses about the reactions to the virus. They advised me that they have done a lot and most people they have given a vaccine too have had no reaction. The ones that have, symptoms are a headache and amazingly no blood clots. Doesn't fit the media or simpletons rhetoric. Sure everyone can have a different reaction and in saying that people that I know and who I work with have had no reaction.

In Victoria, now 27 days in a row of no new community cases. There is still no active case in the State and no-one in hospital with COVID. 15,446 test results reported negative.

No wastewater detections reported, either.

I would rather spend another four months in quarantine than have to watch that film again. :x

International flights to resume but we still haven't got the quarantine process sorted. Is this some kind of joke?

No, this time they've sorted out all the problems the last 10 reviews all missed!!!

But who knows, maybe they are actually listening this time? This is a classic example of why Victorias gold standard keeps failing quicker than it's Premier forgets everything he's been told.

As reported by the ABC earlier this year, this was a recommendation of key health taskforces last year, but was ignored by the hotel quarantine program.
