Tim Gunn, who sparked southern Tasmania's three-day lockdown, jailed for five months

A New South Wales man who caused southern Tasmania to be sent into a snap three-day lockdown in October has been sentenced in the Hobart Magistrates' Court.

He was the bloke that caused a bit of mayhem and cancellations on our trip down there.
Would have preferred to see him spend the whole 6 months in prison

Note, from the article:

He received another five months' jail with two months suspended for breaching family violence orders.

Gunn was given a total sentence of 10 months' with four months suspended, meaning he will remain in prison until at least April next year.

Fixes half the problem I guess. Testing in Sydney is near impossible at the moment. Just heard my local is closing again due to “the heat”. Wait has been about 2 hours all day apparently.

I was at another Inner West one today at 3.50 - it’s well off main roads and it’s not an area you cut through to get elsewhere. Queue was about 40 mins along and orderly at side of road. I was 10 cars from front and they closed it.

Reason - council called and directed they close immediately to ensure streets were clear for peak hour traffic…

off topic epitaph moment

Here lies John Bunn
he was shot by a Gunn
His name was not Bunn, but Wood
Wood would not rhyme with Gunn, but Bunn would.

MEL, SYD and CBR are the safest places to be!

National Cabernet. There’s a body I can support!

Don’t touch it, it’s a rancid drop full of pale stale white career grapes that don’t deserve to be on sale at Aldi for $4.99

South Australia have come out and said the 72 hour pre test will be the next one out the door, perhaps sooner than we think because of the ‘pressure it’s putting on other states’.

Sounds like NSW and VIC have made some phone calls

Fantastic, so make it happen Nicola!

Yeah, I’ve got a work trip to MEL tomorrow and then back tomorrow night. We then fly to CBR on Christmas Eve to visit my parents and then a flight down to MEL for Day 1 of the Boxing Day test before returning to CBR for a few more days. I’m almost certain something is going to come unstuck

I would think it won’t be until we get to the magic 90% mark which should be around New Years. Would be great if it was sooner

NSW testing now falling apart too. I’m sure this will be top of the list at Nat Cab - pre interstate travel has to disappear…

Personally I think the requesting state should pay for the ‘tourism test’

NSW's COVID-19 testing sites under 'massive pressure', Health Minister says​

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard concedes the state's COVID-19 testing system is under "massive pressure" as clinics turn people away and wait times blow out.

Many sites across NSW are being forced to close early as they buckle under the strain and run out of equipment due to people rushing to get tests before holiday travel and COVID-19 cases in the state continuing to grow.

Sounds like spin to me - NSW were doing similar levels of testing during the Delta outbreak/lockdown (a factor back then was the assymptomatic testing of authorised/critical workers)

between safe cities??? Is Adelaide now 'safe'?

Who cares either way it’s clearly working as SA is starting to back down.

I believe I read (and open to correction) that Sunday was a record day for tests, including at peak delta.

It wasn’t. Not even close.
