We'd all be in a better place if the premier hired competent people for hotel quarantine security.

And as for the 'conspiracy theory' label (how original by the way),  I and others were called conspiracy theorists months ago for saying they will make the vaccine mandatory.  Lo and behold,  there was our Prime Minister all over TV  yesterday talking about mandatory vaccinations.

If you can't see whats going on by now you have no hope.

 

Still gotta play our part though, no matter what.

So mandatory vaccine is a bad thing? Not even a debatable point it's a no brainer.

Nothing to do with the COVID 2020 fixture, but what a cracking movie that was eh Rusty.

Yep as dumb as movies comes but it was a one off hoot.  They certainly got the casting right.  Fabulous chemistry with a dash of slapstick jack [censored] silliness thrown in along with some some very good straight men.  Some classic meme's and GIFs from this one.

While Dan should shoulder ( and I believe will when the enquiry is finished) due to the quarantine outbreak ( guilty of not checking the success etc after a few days ) not of the choice.

So is Gladys B ( as is Brad Hazzard) responsible  for the Ruby Princess debacle. She has apologised without testing real blame I feel snd could have sacked ( or asked Brad to resign) Brad.

AND SCOMO ie responsible fir the Aged Care tragedy. Where is the plan? Says  there is one! If There is one lets see it?

Oh and if it does exist IT HAS FAILED under any situation in NSW and VIC.He did a general apology  but didn't take responsibility really.

We should be playing in Hobart this weekend (a Jetstar departure reminder came up on my phone). We'd be right in the middle of this Antarctic bubble cold weather system that's been forecast to hit with game day temperatures of 9 degrees maximum and wind gusts of up to 50km p/h. No doubt we'd have coughed up a one kick lead going into the last quarter with a 10 goal hurricane at our backs.

Hi BBP. I have no idea who Tom Elliott is but my understanding of the situation is that Victoria, unlike other states can only activate any of the measures we're currently seeing under a state of emergency for a maximum of six months only. That period is due to end soon. Extending the option for a further 12 months would allow them to be activated again at short notice (if required) without a lengthy debate taking place in parliament to change legislation. It doesn't in itself extend level 4 restrictions beyond 13 September or into the 2021 football season. It's a preemptive measure should there be a need to close things down again quickly at some point in the next year or so.

That's a ridiculous comment.

The current proposal isn't to extend the State of Emergency for 12 months, but to provide the government with ability to do so.

And regardless, the existence of a State of Emergency doesn't mean life can't get back to "normal". Indeed, the government's argument is that it needs the State of Emergency to allow life to get back to a safe normal by providing the ongoing power to require masks to be worn or density limits in places like stadiums.

Scaremongering based on politics, just like racism it’s not political people it’s an out of control virus that is killing people. These politicians are elected to make these kinds of terribly unpopular decisions. It will go to parliament to decide.

Mandatory flu vaccines are a bad thing yes.  Ask yourself why they would push a mandatory vaccine for a virus with a better than 99% survival rate that only kills the elderly and the very rare person under 60 who already have underlying medical issues?  

And before you call me an anti vaxxer, no....  I have had various vaccinations in the past such as Malaria and Hep A for travels and what not.

Was more than happy to take those, but as far as this new virus goes my immune system will do just fine thanks.  As will yours I'm sure and 90% of peoples.

800,000 people have died, despite all the measures put in place. If too many people get the virus, our hospitals will be too stretched and more and more people will die that would have been saved by a vaccine. Younger people may be mostly not in serious trouble but they get it and spread it to the vulnerable. 

So I guess if you don’t care about people over 60 and people with other conditions dying before their time, you should not get the vaccine. 

That is probably the most selfish post I have ever read

Are you really happy for 10% of the people you know to die because you are selfish?

 

Edit-If the virus mutates and only affects people in your demographic would that change your mind? The world may be a better pace if they find that the virus causes sterility or impotence in the selfish.

Whether you like it or not, you're an anti-vaxxer. Selective in which vaccines you wish to have, but an anti-vaxxer nevertheless. And if you look closely in the mirror, you might also see traits of selfishness and disrespect for others. If you don't see that, you might also need spectacles for your eyes before you make a further spectacle of yourself.

Vaccine should not be made mandatory but those who refuse to take it and therefore put society at risk should be excluded from other health benefits provided by society - e.g. no access to Medicare.

An no access to the MCG!

I don't want to sit right behind or beside some virulent, COVID loving, anti vaxer, conspiracy theorist, Pete Evans wanna be, wack job yelling abuse at a dees player, or worse an umpire for not policing the rules properly.
