At the US death rate / 1m of population, we would also have been approaching 5,000 deaths in VIC alone and growing every day, compared to 819 that we've actually had.

Yeah I thought that was really strange. He was the one pushing herd immunity and saying that was the way to combat the virus. Now he’s saying it’s unethical. Bizarre behaviour.
They were "Chinese" Australians. The fed government wouldnt dare lock "white" people up on Christmas Island.
I stand to be corrected but didnt the fed government spent a fortune upgrading it so people who were medivac'd to Australia from our off shore detention could be locked up there instead?
No. they spent some money upgrading the facilities but not to the extent that someone with something like COVID could be kept there.
Ex detainees who are now living in the community on Nauru are still being medevaced to Australia if required.
The USA is out of control, what a mess having a moron as Pres leads to.
Our numbers are still looking good.
Looking like Christmas might be open after a hell of a year.
Good thing the Tigers gave us hope during the hard times, glad I chose the best team to support

Not all of them. There was a significant number of Caucasian Australians amongst those evacuated to Christmas Island.
It's all good. Vaccine due tomorrow or maybe next week or possibly the week after. In any case it's all gone away.The USA is out of control, what a mess having a moron as Pres leads to.

They were all Chinese Australians were they?
Would the Australian citizens amongst have good grounds for a racial discrimination case?
If it was only Chinese Australians it seems to fly in the face of "Australian Values"
Significant number of Caucasian Australians amongst those evacuated to Christmas Island from Wuhan. Also some Kiwis and Pacific Islanders. Only have to read the interviews with the evacuees to see that talk of only sending Chinese Australians there is BS.
That mob really do subscribe to the theory that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth. Mind you, Fox do a lot of heavy lifting in trying to make it work.

Maybe he just means that those people mean almost nothing to he and his dad as they can't make money from them and they cannot vote anymore.
There is no way that a hospital on Christmas Island could handle COVID positive patients. It wouldn’t have the facilities not would it be able to get the medical staff with the expertise.
Straight quarantine for well people is a different thing
Puppeting Dr. Tedros from WHO, who said it was "ethically problematic", i.e. unethical.
yet the Libs spent $130million so they could try to send refugees there who medical needs couldnt be met on PNG or Nauru. but you are probably right, seeing as though despite this $130million not one medevac'd person ever set foot on the island.
Fine. Then keep Christmas Island only for those that refuse to be tested. Obviously they know they don't have it so should be fine.
I agree Brodders. My comment is more a technical one as COVID Hospitals need special airflow, oxygen supplies for ventilation, access to respiratory specialists etc.
The medical facilities at CI are more a generalist facility
The money spent by the LNP is disgusting, as is the fact that the Sri Lankan family from Queensland is still there
