TOPIC:

If sneakers had done this, hadn't done that, looked into his tea leaves and anticipated something else, if he gone to another lockdown when fred's cat sneezed or Numnuts aunty had done whatever.

Get over it, we are better off that NSW is now Vic was and that is dwown to us doing what we're asked to do unlike Gladdies morons and Dan numpties.

As for the comment abt not politicizing it how abt you read your own postings and decide where that all started.

Ask small business in WA Grump whether they're happy with the recent lockdown which would have been avoidable if McGoo acted in a more timely manner. Old farts like you probably don't care as long as you can go to the chemist and get your meds but the coffee shop owner next door sure cares.

Thanks for restoring my faith or lackthereof in this site!

You're too easily offended Grump. It was tongue in cheek and in fact, I put myself into the same category along with quite a few other posters on here. You get a bit precious when a bit of flack comes back don't you Grump?

Victoria shut the gate and now the rest will follow overnight into tomorrow - real concerns about people doing the usual runners now
a nasty time ahead by the looks given the fines and what the fines were for
reading one about a card game and the ages of the offenders just stunned me
time for the armed forces to step in for the safety of australia

Yep perhaps I do but given history on here I quite honestly do not know or can tell when it is being poked in fun or having a go at me, perhaps I am a little sensitive to it. I apologise for me lack of thick skin and being just thick.

No worries Grump. I'll be a bit more careful in my selection of language next time...all good.

An interesting article:

Senior business figures turned to former PM Kevin Rudd to intervene in bringing forward Australia's Pfizer vaccine supply  - ABC News

Gotta love "our" ABC and the sensational "interesting article" from GS 42. 

Kevin 2021 a man with an absolute conviction of intellectual superiority over everyone else in the political world and now in the 2021 corporate pharmaceutical boardrooms!

I can just picture the meeting with Big Kev entering the boardroom with his classic strut stating “I’m Kevin from Queensland and I’m here to help” followed by the almost as good “Fair Shake of the Sauce Bottle” you guys, us Aussies deserve better from you!

Surely nobody except General Secretary 42 and Comrade Grump actually thinks that the executives at Pfizer would do anything except have a giggle at such a display of grandiose narcissism, unless of course Big Kev thinks another corporate gig is up for grabs!

As for the suggestion of “penny pinching” I would think good corporate governance would demand that with a price differential of $17.35 per dose some negotiation would be required given Pfizer comes in at $19.50 compared to AZ at $2.15 last time I looked

The last time you looked, how well is Australia's COVID-19 vaccination programme going?  How accurate were Morrison's commitments that we would have completed 4 million shots by the end of March, 2021 and we would have completed vaccinating anyone who wanted to be vaccinated by the end of October, 2021?
