Unvaccinated french backpacker has brought it into WA from QLD. Likely visited multiple nightclubs on the weekend and in the community for a week infectious. Likely delta.

NSW just did a huge backflip on the back of infections virtually doubling overnight.

QR codes are back, masks indoors are back, 1 person per2 sqm rule is back for hospitality is back. Shame we didn't just delay removing g these measures a week or so ago as I think the suege of infection would have been at least somewhat tempered.

So fecking frustrating that everyone with a brain, barring Domicron and #scottyfrommarketing, could have predicted it.

NSW had over 21k positive tests yesterday - 14.25% of those tested. Many couldn't get a test either.

Worst Prime mister of my lifetime by a long way

Agreed and that is really saying something when Tony Abbott was PM not that long ago.

Here in NSW Domicron is giving him decent competition mind.

I understand Scott is widely derided as an idiot, but I struggle to believe he can match Johnson's sheer ineptitude and laziness, let alone arrogance, self-entitlement and flagrant cronyism.

Maybe a debate for another thread.

To follow up from this Scotty has told Australians who cannot afford RA' tests that they can do without, yes they are not even free in this nation because his parties donors want to gouge us for money.

He has palmed off his federal governments constitutional responblity to the states, rorted off the top of my head about 100 billion AUD over the last 3 years, gave our backs 150 billion bucks to sit there, is owned by the mining lobby, gutted medicare, covered up rapes. There is a lot of evil in the Morrison government.

Amazingly, #scottyfrommarketing is more incompetent than Bojo. It is the state governments that have been the adults in the room throughout this. The Feds have been an utter disaster.

The US provides RATs free of charge.

Just take a second and let that sink in, we are worse than a country renowned for being shit when it comes to social welfare in the developed world.

Supply lines are stuffed as well because we do not have enough testing and despite being warned in September that this will be an issue.

NSW Premier Domicron Perrottet announced yesterday that anyone who didn't reports a positive RAT test would be fined $1000.

Journalist: If someone doesn't report it how will you know to fine them?
Domicron: Erm?

You couldn't make this shit up.

Turnbull putting the boot in (quite rightly). We have a massive shortage of RAT tests yet government inaction means an Aussie company who makes them had to seek markets overseas and has now commited most/all production to export when we can't import enough.


#scottyfrommarketing couldn't organise or plan for the sun rising in the morning. The sort of bloke who could throw a ball in the air and miss.

Barnaby Joyce confirming he couldn't buy a clue.


The Guardian said:
The deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce raised some eyebrows earlier this morning when he told Nine’s Today that people should not panic about Omicron as it was like a “mild flu” for the double vaccinated.

"Joyce: It’s everywhere. It’s in Queensland, NSW, it’s – the place is alive with it. We are lucky it’s a mild case ... for people who have been double vaccinated. And I’ve had it and it’s like a 2.5 out of 10 flu for a couple of days. That’s how I experienced it.

Presenter: That is not for everyone, though, deputy prime minister. It’s a lot worse for a lot of people.

Joyce: I know. I know. For some people ... And, yeah, and for some people it can kill you. I am not putting aside the seriousness of it for some people.

But, you know, why do I say that? I say that so we don’t have this sort of complete panic because it’s – I’d be worried if the flu breaks out because a lot of people haven’t had the flu for a couple of years. We haven’t been in touch with it. And, you know, that will have a serious effect as well but we can’t shut down the country over that and we’ve got to move on.
With rapid antigen tests, we are bringing in tens of millions of these rapid antigen tests.

Pretty much doing the same.

Only time I go out is to get a kebab now and then.

Meanwhile in the real world with real people.

The country is shutting itself down

Yep, my workplace is a bit better off as we provide catering service to a few sport teams, but foot traffic for the cafe side is absolutely horrendous and we’ve been stood up by 3 trials already this week. The last 18 months outside of lockdown the kitchen were run by just 3 people and none of us could ever take a sick day because that would mean fecking over the others.

The business managed to recovered to 70% of the income level pre-Covid last December, but now it’s as bad as it’s ever been and now the owner is contemplating closing down the cafe and only do catering, which would feck over most of the FOH staffs. It’s pretty fecking grim atm.

I think this is missing point 3.5, where Scotty goes on holiday just when the issue-turned-crisis starts to reach its peak.
