Dunno, but with the billions wasted and lost I'm sure they can find somewhere or build it from scratch.

She was talking about herself, not me you idiot ! Bloody Snuppers.....one big air bubble.
I agree we should do something, but IMO we should be using army barracks etc. Would be simple, already setup for hospitals / accomodation etc, but using them is a federal decision. Its the downside of having 2 systems of government between the feds and the states.
So none then. I'll note that AFAIK no-one in the media has been able to pin this outbreak down to an error in process. Even Scomo praised the work the professionals were doing this morning.
Hotel quarantine by its nature is clearly a flawed process, even the base variant has escaped it, let alone this more infectious variant. There should be Commonwealth managed remote quarantine facilities across the country.
Good post Ian.
In an ideal world we would be a little higher up in the vaccine queue than we are, but we've dealt with this before and will do so again this time around.
Hopefully this lockdown is no more significant than the recent examples in SA, WA, QLD and NSW.
Tennis players are considered essential workers 
Yes let's lock the entire state down and stop small business owners from earning a living, yet again, but it is absolutely essential that tennis players continue to play a game that no one can go and watch, when they shouldn't be here in the first place, just so they can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars and potentially more.
Sounds very legitimate. Nice one Dan.

Not sure small business owners who have already had their livelihood decimated by previous lockdowns will take much solace in this. But yes hopefully it is very short term pain this time around.

Don't think this outbreak had anything to do with tennis players, more to do with returned travellers. Particularly those that use nebulizers despite being told not to.

He didn't say they were at least not when I was listening. One journalist tried to play gotcha on that but he never said only essential workers can go to work, if he did he clarified it when the journalist asked that question, the rule is if you can work from home you must not, essential workers.

And moan about it too during the process Chumpley !
Well, guess I am just going to have to sit at home and drink beer and watch sport and the races for the next 5 days. Devo. At least experience is on my side.
You are correct. But you don't see the hypocrisy in letting prima donna spoilt brat international athletes ply their trade for millions of dollars on Australian soil whilst a small business owner can't open his shop and earn a living? Or the hypocrisy of letting them come in the first place all the while thousands of Aussies overseas can't get home? Or when Victorians on holiday 50km over the NSW border weren't allowed to return to their own homes but the tennis players are getting all expenses paid quarantine in luxury hotels?
Exactly what benefit is this tennis tournament giving anyone? Aside from the players themselves.
Sure, some won't mind. Others have had a 60-hour work week and plans that have gone up in smoke.
Millionaire international tennis players can ply their trade for millions in potential earnings over the next 5 days. The local family owned cafe that has already been through enormous lockdown pain has to shut yet again and earn limited or no income.
Sounds fair Dan.
Staggering decision making by this government.
But we can't have the poor tennis players not be able to earn their millions can we?
surely you announce it when it needs to be announced, not because its coming up to a weekend or not.
One of my new colleagues mentioned an acquaintance with a wedding scheduled for tomorrow... guess that's off now.
