One young bloke has been jaunting through Perth while infected. 40+ exposure sites in a few days. Result = nightclubs closed for the next few days, everyone to mask up indoors in public places, and some festivals cancelled. Prick.

State Daddy (otherwise known as Premier McGowan) had to close his electorate office due to credible threats of violence by antivaxxers over here. People have been charged for their threats.

McGowan replied publicly to Hunt saying "stop making things up". So yeah, it was a beat up. And it is pretty clear that WA folks are quite happy and that there is a ton of stuff to show that the protesters are just the usual RW & libertarian crowd.

Vale Bert Newton. :(

Scomo and Dum Perignon (nod to Paxter) are simply more concerned with $$ than humans. It's that simple.

Perrotet needs a nickname. I propose: 1. Prayertit 2. If Scott Morrison = ScoMo then Domenic Perrotet = DoPe.

Ninjaed.

We have 2 memberships for DC for sale. PM if interested.

@Jeor WA is not hectoring others states for being failures. It is simply defending it's actions in reply to the demeaning way the Cth & NSW have attacked us for being stricter. Morrison thinks we are 'cave dwellers' and we are the hectoring ones? Pull the other one. Again, the facts speak for themselves. NSW & the Cth in particular preferred $$ over people. Now they are trying to bully the rest of the nation to do the same.

I'm not saying they didn't take it seriously. I'm saying they played politics with it. The WA govt has prefaced every decision as based on medical advice. It might well be that the medical advice aligned with policy views, but the clear fact is that it has worked. Since Covid started WA has had less total cases - Delta included - than NSW had today.

Mate there was no need for a travel radius restriction, because WA restricts the types of travel allowed for the whole city. The record speaks for itself. The fact of the matter is that the NSW and Cth govts dropped the ball so hard it went pear shaped.

We did have Delta here, just days after the first cases hit NSW. Total lockdown city-wide for a week and it stopped it.

The central problem is that you can't have a piecemeal lockdown between LGA's. Every lockdown instigated here has been metro-wide. Every day that Sydney was not in complete city-wide lockdown has prolonged and aggravated the issue.

That's because it's a Clayton's lockdown.

Gladys doesn't care about them - no way to profit from them.

To be fair the States, with one notable exception, have done better than than the Feds in the vaccine and general covid management screw-up dept.

I got my first dose of Pfizer on Monday. It was so quiet that Laoise got to come back as a walk in an hour later. Bet it's not as quiet today.

Nearly 12 months since I started the thread, and Victoria is in lockdown mode. Some things change, some stay the same.

George Christensen has decided not to seek re-election. Oh well.

I always thought the LNP were a bunch of wankers. Now they've proven it.

Democracy sausage day here in WA. Soon to be known as "the day the Libs were pummelled".

I think it's gone beyond "supposedly". Which doesn't sit well with her teary comments in the senate - the same day that she dropped this howler. As for Porter, it seems the only chance that the investigation is rejigged will be dependent on the findings of the SA Coroner.

Ours just got called off as of Midnight Saturday. Stay safe and post if you need to vent.

A bloke from the Rationalist Society is also handing his back now.

ABC had a FB story about the doctor that handed back her OAM after Court got this upgrade. They had to delete it because of the sheer volume of religious bigots shitposting. Sadly there is still a long way to go before our LGBTQI folks are accepted.
