Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[bcworld]

Im not sure why you mention zero risk, Gladys understands risk and that it is not zero and never can be.

You obviously didn't read what I wrote.

Anna on Q&A last night absolutely claimed needed reductions everywhere to reduck risk. Failing to recognise that freight still needs to happen and the latest NSW outbreak was from freight crew.

Im not sure why you mention zero risk, Gladys understands risk and that it is not zero and never can be. Actions show all other Premieres are less risk tolerant.

On the bright side, there will be plenty of hotel rooms free for her when she gets back from Japan.

Perhaps she can take some care packages for all the Australians stuck there?

It’s unacceptable she now travels anywhere internationally.

The QLD Health Advice is that people bringing money into QLD are no risk of Covid

At least in the effort to curb the virus spread and get us out of this hot mess, ATAGI has been booted to the curb and will have no part to play in setting the vaccination targets that will then be used to determine open dates, restrict use or border closures and lockdowns. Will be handled by a seperate committee. Certain state CHO’s to be involved. I wonder who will not be invited

 

[Lynda2475]

I can see we've got some new lingo...."last resort lockdowns". Who defines a last resort?

Nothing new, NSW has always been clear that lock downs is least preferred action due to mental health and economic damage; and will only employ when absolutely necessary as should always be the case. Not something you hou do because you under resourced your contract tarcers and dont trust your systems.

 

[justinbrett]

The irony is, with the world going back to normal, very few people will want to come home now.

But on Q&A last night claims she has to go as its a condition of IOC to getvthe games, but i call bs.

 

[kamchatsky]

It is stuff like that that makes me so angry ..... We will be locked in Australia for years.

That's why NSW has been a "gold standard" (whoever coin that term). NSW has been and is willing to continue to do the heavy lifting. But other states doesn't.

And you wonder why a number of us are so angry on those particular state governments.

And no, I am only blaming the leadership of those state governments, and definitely not the residents of the states.

I did you incorrectly claimed that Gladys calimed the other states wanted "zero" risk, when what she said was that the cap reduction will not address the issues that the other states are having with virus leaking from HQ. Your use of Zero is not correct.

'Leadership' is a strong word. More like the 'Gatekeepers'.Those that just want to pull up the drawbridge at any sign of trouble. What we need are people that deal with the issue and have plans to get us out. Not go crying it's too hard at every turn.

So now Australia will be only taking about 50% more pax than NZ. Yet has 5x population. NZ gets 400 arrrivals a week for every 1 million residents. Australia will be getting 120 arrivals for every million residents. How come NZ can manage it?

Only NSW have indicated a possible vaccination target.

 

[justinbrett]

So it's the states that give exemptions for the caps right? Maybe NSW can just hand them out like candy.

 

[justinbrett]

ScoMo confirms NSW didn't want to reduce its cap and said the fact they have shows their commitment to the National Cabinet process.

 

[bcworld]

I did you incorrectly claimed that Gladys calimed the other states wanted "zero" risk,

Here's a direct quote from Gladys: "I don't support the view that other premiers have that this means mistakes aren't going to happen and we won't have outbreaks".

NSW did not request nor want a reduction in the cap, they were managing.

The states that were already not pulling their weight with arrivals per capita forced this. Even Scomo just conceded Gladys was not happy with the request to reduce arrivals.

Its sad and pathetic that tantrums from certain states has taken us further away again from Australians being able to connect. The people of NSW did not elect these other Premiers they should not be able to gang up in National Cabinet and force polcy in NSW which goes against what voters in NsW want.

Not a federation - lack of local interest trumping national interest?

 

[Lynda2475]

Here's a direct

Which doeent use the word zero at all.

Which doeent use the word zero at all.

Outbreaks aren't going to happen = zero outbreaks.
Mistakes aren't gong to happen = zero mistakes.
