Where did you get that the lack of vaccines was a problem? I read only a couple of weeks ago that in WA only 78% of vaccines available were being used and the rest thrown away. Those numbers are in part due to the vaccines being AZ but also McGoo making statements like he did yesterday which breeds complacency and hesitancy to get jabbed.  People ask why should they get vaccinated when it's not going to stop lockdowns anyway?

Are you saying I didn't have to wait weeks before I was able to receive my first vaccine shot?

There's no lack of vaccine WA Health were far to slow setting up the mass vaccination centers.

A bloke rang 6PR a few weeks ago and said he went to the vaccination hub in Redcliffe (I’m assuming it’s at Perth airport) because he heard people weren’t turning up for their jab. He was told 100 people didn’t turn up for their appointment, roll up your sleeve. 

I'm fully vaxed with AZ but I’m thinking of going to this place in Redcliffe for a Pfizer booster shot in a few months.

We now have politics playing a significant part in how we are managing what is happening now.

WA have McGoo going to what really amounts an extreme posture with his 80% but still taking lockdowns a key strategy when targeted ones are the way forward. His no vac' posture is ok by me as long it is directed at everyone and allows some folk to travel within and into here with some certainty.

We have QLD, TAS, SA and NT all going down a similar path to WA but without the somewhat bullying tactic and then we have NSW and VIC where it seems that it is the population that is really the big issue.

Yep Gladiolus jis/was just being a twit and not listening (as it turns out if the media is to be believed). I am not surprised that the NSW population is behaving the way it is, her and her cabinets leadership has been non existent and relying on Morrison to bail her out which he does everytime whilst bagging other places.

Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that it is great to do disaster planning for fires, cyclones and floods but it needs to events that aren't the norm like pandemics and lets hope it never happens war!

What McGowan said was that on reaching 70/80% vaccination rate rather than needing to lockdown the entire Perth/Peel area or a country region there could be a more nuanced approach where specific suburb(s) could be locked down or a country town could be locked down if necessary.

McGoo is just making this shit up as he goes along. His kryptonite is open borders, he is shit scared of them. He dead set want's the power to shut the whole show down if someone sneezes so he can get on his soap box and tell us how much he hates doing it but he is keeping us safe, while at the same time protecting his 20th century hospital system. His arrogance and petulance yesterday towards the media was unbelievable, like a school teacher standing silent at the front of the class waiting for silence so his royal highness can speak.

I'm convinced this covid power and the latest electoral win has totally gone to his head, he's gone from the awkward guy from Rocko to Obnoxtious Mussolini like dictator pulling arrogant faces.  I also here he is about to give working class Rocko the flick and pick up a 2 Mill house in up market Highgate.

Ignoring the scuttlebutt which is absolutely pathetic, McGowan as is everyone else perfectly entitled to live where they like if they have the wherewithal to do so.  

What is fascinating is the paucity of criticism of the NSW government's handling of the current delta outbreak.  Where is the criticism given that it has spread out to various areas in New South Wales and beyond?

one thing I'd mention or add is that be buggered if I'd like to be responsible for border policy in this covid - it really has become a damned if you do and overrun if you don't situation
There's no way you can let the eastern states hordes just run in without information or at least vaccinated in some form
If I was in some form making the decision I'd be thinking of my family , friends and others and not wanting to unleash anything upon them
But still I think 80% vaccination rates is going to be a big hill given what we've seen protest-wise and fines-wise everywhere

42 there was a story in yesterday's Fin Review.It saids both the PM + Nsw Premier polling is in free fall.Linked to the Nsw Covid out break.

you wouldn't want to be a local member in those western suburbs or in the country where it's spread to that's for sure

Geez even that old Labor crook Burke continued to live in his Balga electorate until he finished in parliament, a sitting member, whatever persuasion they may be, should respect those who vote them in by at least living in that electorate. if he hates Rocky that much, then change seats to Perth or resign, then he can live where he likes.

Morrison is inextricably linked with the NSW government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Morrison's haranguing of Labor state governments by comparing their handling with "gold standard Gladys" has come back to bite him and bite him big time.  It has also been noted the lack of support that Morrison gave the Victorians post the end of jobkeeper and the alacrity Morrison sprung to help NSW did not go down well with the damning commentary that Morrison is the PM of NSW.

Obviously, for Labor to win the next federal election it needs to make significant inroads in QLD and here.  After the rout of the WA state election Morrison has lost his tongue but the compare and contrast between McGowan and Morrison will play out here at the next federal election.

Obviously, Palmer is going to try his shenanigans again but his mooted high court challenge will show Queenslanders that he is interested in one person and only one person.  It is noteworthy when Palmer was asked whether he was vaccinated he refused to answer the question.

What was resonating was the line that Morrison had two jobs to do: the bushfires and COVID-19 vaccines.  A third will be added to that: the exit from Afghanistan.

Gladys Berejiklian now that the Murdoch press has abandoned her, she is extremely unlikely to survive to the NSW election.

It is mind numbing this absolutely ridiculous argument.  Notwithstanding the tenuous foundation to the claim that he is moving, there is absolutely no LEGAL requirement for a person to live in the electorate they are representing.  One can highlight how absurd the faux outrage by posing this hypothetical: what should happen if a politician who is living in his/her electorate in their family home and due to a redistribution their address is no longer in the electorate that the politician represents?

Or how about the complete absence of any criticism of ANY Labor government by you, namely Dan Andrews who now has banned parents from taking their kids to playgrounds in their own streets ffs.
