Brownless Towers in Langford I think, theres still a few around, but not as big as the monsters they have in Melb.

this really is confirmed to be totally out of control now - there are many Viccos outside their state who madly drove out just before the deadline and have almost certainly passed through bad spots to do so
Brace for the worst in NSW given the total disregard for distancing and it will spike very soon
Two states that have poor leaders totally exposed for just that
past being worrying it's a disaster
that shouldn't have happened

Until Monday’s increase of 127 COVID-19 cases, Victoria’s previous highest daily had been 111 cases on March 28.

A comparison of some other numbers shows the current situation is much more dire.

On March 28, Victoria had recorded just 21 cases with an unknown source, compared with 416 on Monday, including 145 in the past week alone.

In March, Victoria had 491 active cases of COVID-19, compared with the 645 active cases as of Monday.

that cruise ship debacle was bad enough - a full ship load let loose

however a designated quarantine lockdown with just 14 infected idiots walking out and causing this national chaos is pretty disturbing

we've had to endure heaps of misery and lost plenty during a bastard 3 month stretch - seeing this and knowing those 14 maggots will probably survive while we've lost 2 already and more loom if the pattern goes on just doesn't sit entirely right

And now the WA AMA dont want us to go into Phase 5 from July 18 now because they have been scared off from the Vicco debacle plus all of these International and Domestic passenger flights arriving in Perth...what has happened to our hard border stance?

What's just as concerning to me is talking to the young people at work today, there were lines outside of every nightclub and bar in northbridge from about 10.30pm Saturday night. Based on that we are just one bad case away from losing control of it in WA. I agree we should not go to stage 5 just yet and think we may have jumped to stage 4 to quickly.

Winter is where the virus breads and I think we have some paid ahead of us yet.

Sneakers wants to reduce the in coming international flights to only one every three days to allow plenty of time to manage things, and all on board are escorted to 14 days hotel iso. The change is that he's now looking at requiring these Australian cits or perm residents to pay for their stay in iso. I kinda agree with him given these people have had more than enough time to get back way earlier than this. Maybe they didn't want to cut short their holidays!! If so they can pay their own way. I'm sure any special circumstances that prevented an earlier return will be looked at.

BH- Pretty sure if Clive Palmer wins that High Court challenge again the WA Government. We will have to reopen our. Borders to all Eastern staters.Including Victorians.

The International Airport has been a Federal Govt jurisdiction and the WA Premier has just made submission to the PM to halve the intake officially
the cases we are getting are direct from this intake

Hard to see how anyone other than the WA Govt can force open the border under circumstance of National Bio-Security threat we currently live under - which is for the best interest of the country's health & Safety
versus one man's company interest
