The latest in Nz a woman produced falsified papers at the Auckland border so she could travel to northland shes covid positive rumour is shes a prostitute apparently she had another woman with her that the police cant track down they've been to several places up north , paihia etc .....she wont co-operate ( should be locked up) probably doesn't want to divulge her customers so the whole of the norths in lock down
People are not impressed.....police are just toothless to do anything in this day and age ,its a very low social economic place ,lots of poverty and very low vaccination rates .....just amazing how selfish some people are

Hey CB, that's why WA is so covid free for so long, even here this morning when I buy my newspaper, I have to sign in and disinfect my hands, Woolies, IGA or the chemist or the servo, you either use the QR code or sign the book, date, time, initials and phone number, if I go to 5 shops I sign in 5 times, maybe that is the difference between West and East coast!
PS:- We don't need to wear masks unless we choose to, some do and some don't! Last edited by slowsnake; 10-10-2021 at 09:38 AM. Reason: Add PS. |

Places in Tassie run by millenials that only have QR codes at the door..no sign in book.
Shrug of the shoulders gets you in. A steady eye can see people just taking a photo of the QR code...LOL...seriously

NSW/VIC
NSW records 479 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 0.9378 (from 0.9644) while the actual line is now only slightly above the predictive trend line and based on the 3rd order polynomial, that trend line has a downward curve. VIC records 1,890 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.0438 (from 1.0989) while the actual line is almost level with the predictive trend. After 90 days, the Vic trend line is now above that of NSW at the same point.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT October 9th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 2,514 new cases for Australia and 16 deaths so the CMR is 1.136%. 36 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.614%. The UK had 39,413 cases yesterday and 156 deaths for a CMR of 1.696%. 107,541 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,937 deaths sees CMR at 1.623%. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 238M, the last 1M in 3 days; South America passes 38M cases; Asia passes 77M cases; Barbados (284); Belarus (1,998); and Singapore (3,703) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while Vietnam and Palestine drop below.

CHO could be sidelined as government mulls giving ministers more power https://www.theage.com.au/politics/v...06-p58xm4.html

Did you not see this coming? I have great concern that “safety” will - in future - become a euphemistic term for throttling peoples’ movements.

I have never like the way Daniel Andrews created a mini inner circle cabinet with few ministers to deal with this pandemic as it excluded a lot of party MP's from debate and decision making with our traditional Westminster system. |

They have gone for the early crow here...."guaranteed"! Although, if the 80% double vax rate isn't achieved by that date, those living beyond the 25km limit won't be able to attend

Every time they extend the SOE, it needs to go through parliament. They have been able to keep passing the extensions with the help of the indies. It is the only SOE that needs to go through such scrutiny each time? Anyway, just my view, and with both sides of politics agreeing on the change, it'll be passed without much debate. So then gov will be able to solely invoke a SOE, and then do whatever they want and sign it off. And if they hold majority....look out!

[QUOTE=T3rminator;6637971]From somebody who keeps banging on about gov over reach I'm surprised by this response. It sounds like they want to amend the SOE so that it gives the sign off powers to the minister instead of the CHO during an emergency health crisis, so this is not about after the emergency power being ceased. In a pandemic / emergency health crisis, I would personally prefer to have a health expert making the call, we are talking extreme events. Also, ministers are not always experts in the field that they hold the portfolio to e.g. Martin Foley holds an arts degree. Given how easily ministers can be reshuffled, there is no telling who might be there for the next health crisis and what compromises or undue risks they might be willing to take.
Every time they extend the SOE, it needs to go through parliament. They have been able to keep passing the extensions with the help of the indies. It is the only SOE that needs to go through such scrutiny each time? Anyway, just my view, and with both sides of politics agreeing on the change, it'll be passed without much debate. So then gov will be able to solely invoke a SOE, and then do whatever they want and sign it off. And if they hold majority....look out![/QUOTE] Surprised by your last part of your comment as we were sold out by the independents as usual, plenty of grubby deals to get the votes to pass legislation. Politics has always been a dirty game! |

Now imagine how many people would watch the Melbourne Cup if it's duration was the same as Bathurst? Similar to the 100m dash every four years at the Olympics. Sheep with their 10-second camera flashes. |

Disappointed in Sydney, I expected that even in suburbia there might be some festive celebration of the regained freedoms many now have. Not even a midnight horn toot around here.

So all quiet on the Eastern Front eh!
Yes its certainly surprised me if what your saying is the old " party central " is now " Dullsville ".... No one knows where hipsville is anymore, it's going to take a long time for Sydney to come together again, all that caution, not sure where to go and who to see, what band and what pub!....what's on.....what's off! A Renaissance of sorts!.... |

slow, can't say what it was like post WW11 thankgoodness but the world sure had moved on from then and more so since 07 when you left Sydney for the worse or better depending the way people see it. I'm sure it was a strange feeling waywaway back then and its no comparo - Sydney's weather has been rain since yesterday and the coming days so I doubt many we're revelling from midnight but people sure will be damn happy and reports have been many shops are busy from the early hours...... https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/...10-p58yth.html There was some hair salons open from midnight working till 9pm tonight and have bookings for the next 2mths lol...... Some pubs and clubs opened from midnight. Who went lord knows but the place will be getting damn active from today onwards which is great.
