Gotta love Dan and the team. Spend $5M running an inquiry into their own actions which was as transparent and open as a concrete wall and $7M in legal fees defending themselves against it. :roll:

Cheap at twice the price. And not a single one of those lawyers will have had to be paid Jobkeeper, so it's a little leg-up for Josh, too. Well done to all concerned.

Meanwhile, Peter Dutton, who is has the legal responsibility to administer Australian immigration and quarantine, has tried to pay out on one of the state premiers - the people who are actually doing Dutton's job for him!

Screw Peter Dutton. What a useless tool he is.

Here we go again, talks of late night press conferences ain’t going to be good news.

However I see even the ABC spin doctor is questioning the overreaction to the UK variant given everyone keeps panicking and so far none of them have passed it on to anyone else...

From the ABC blog:
Victoria has reintroduced mandatory mask rules, reduced the number of people allowed in homes and paused an increase on the number of people allowed in offices after a hotel quarantine worker contracted COVID-19.

From 11:59pm on Wednesday, private gatherings will be limited to 15 people and masks will become mandatory in indoor settings.

A plan to have up to 75 per cent of workers back in the office from Monday has been paused.

It follows the diagnosis of a 26-year-old hotel quarantine worker, who had been serving as a resident support officer as part of the Australian Open quarantine program.

How are the Nick's spin doctors going to somehow blame the Liberals for this one.

Arrogant refuse-to-quarantine-properly bastards.

Just deport them. Papers stamped "Not wanted back".

I don't know why tennis isn't just generally unlawful.
