" From Monday 14th September all Stores within Greater Melbourne Councils will now close at 8:30pm (last customer to enter at 8:30pm and will need to leave the store by 8:45pm) until the 25th October. There will be no change to Stores trading hours in regional Victoria."
ACT does.
I cant imagine anyone admitting to the first point. Evidence has been presented of security guards having sex together at the time of work at the Quarantine hotels. Second - as has been covered previously, the message that was sent was that if you felt strongly enough about something then a Protest or refusal to obey is ok, and the third point is very much open for discussion as Eid timing was very close to the second wave. Along with the tie in with private schools outbreaks.
363 days is a tall order but I think all States except WA (edit: not Perth metro) have regular late night weekday trading hours if this website is correct

SA doesnt - the latest currently is 9pm. On one day except for very small convenience stores.363 days is a tall order but I think all States except WA have regular late night weekday trading hours if this website is correct

Currently in metro Melbourne the times are 7:30pm for last customer entry and out by 7:45pm.
Perhaps it’s a metro thing that there is sufficient demand to actually want to open - google say Darwin, New Town (Tasmania) and lots of Kmarts and Officeworks open.

Coles and Woolies have closed here in SA during the week at 9pm for several years. They close at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday though.
ACT allows 365 days a year. Shops can open Christmas Day if they wanted. Most don’t.
During the week it is 9pm and has been for some time. Weekends they open late and shut early
). For supermarkets that seems to be up to 10pm. Seems to be consistent with supermarkets hours in Melbourne during June (which IIRC closed up to an hour or two earlier than before COVI)D. nb: Kmart Belmont Village (Geelong) closes at midnight, but was a 24 hr store.
Ok. Weekdays they are open.
Nothing has been disproven yet.The original rumour was that security guards had sex with those in quarantine , and this was how the virus leaked out to created the Second Wave.
Quarantine hotel sex: The unconfirmed rumour and its consequences
A report of security guards having sex in coronavirus quarantine hotels spurred the shut down of Victoria’s program, an inquiry, and a war of words.thenewdaily.com.au
However unless you believe that a family of 4 was having sex with Patient 0 (The night manager), then as in terms of sex possibly contributing to the way that Covid19 was passed from hotel quarantine guests out into the community that would only leave the much smaller number of cases (0.75%) stemming from the Stamford Plaza Cluster and that is if that was the source there.
- Almost all of the current cases in Victoria (where the sequence is known) are related to the Rydges Hotel cluster. This hotel was used to quarantine individuals returning from overseas. From the genomic and epidemiological data, we know that a family of four who returned from overseas and were quarantining within the hotel, were the first to become unwell in this genomic cluster. Because this family became unwell very shortly after arriving home, it is likely that they acquired infection overseas.
- More recent data indicates that for the 1,589 cases sequenced from cases with symptom onset from 14 July to 14 August, all but 12 were linked to Rydges. The other 12 cases are linked to the Stamford Hotel cluster. It is likely that 99% of current cases of Covid-19 in Victoria have arisen from the Rydges or Stamford Plaza hotels.
Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Coronavirus update for Victoria - 13 September 2020
Victoria has recorded 41 new cases of coronavirus since yesterday, with the total number of cases now at 19,835.
That's a bit of hyperbole. All we know is that a family of four had Covid. We dont know who else had Covid on that floor, or hotel and who were never tested. Because not everyone was tested. I have no idea why not. And could have infected that family or became infected from them even via a guard who had no sense of infection control and vice versa. Given that Victoria never routinely tested everyone in quarantine - and as you will recall months ago I commented on that here, the links in the chain are completely broken. Only those who were unwell enough were tested. We know that isn't the way Covid is for everyone.
