What is NZ's fully vaccinated position? They would appear the best nation to compare with?
As soon as I hear a rumour came from 7 I immediately discount it as false. They embody sensationalism and the modern media’s need to scare the public all the time.

They've really *smile* that up. Why the *smile* would they do that? What assurances are they providing to their residents about safety? Is thi Hunt or Clolbeck that oversaw the decision?
Scomo's gov't goes from one poor decision to another. No wonder they didn't want to look after quarantine, they knew they couldn't do it. These decisions are costing lives, they are on Scomo's watch. I can't see him surviving this.
So 1 of the workers at Arcare was both unvaccinated AND working across 2 facilities. Someone in the federal government has dropped the ball with this and heads MUST ROLL over this.
This is pure and utter incompetence. It impacts our ability to not only protect the elderly but also to protect the state from going into lockdowns.
If anyone dies in aged care this time around, I don't want to hear any arguments that the State is at fault, the blood is on the hands of the feds 1000% with this.

No irony there, they removed the village idiot from the top job and things changed.
The Aged Care change to allowing people to work at multiple centres is not a surprise at all. The whole privatised Aged Care sector relies on cheap labour, and that means casuals with limited shifts. To survive, the employees need to work more than 1 job. So, unless there is massive reform in Aged Care, and we start giving the employees decent working conditions and decent tenure of employment, it is inevitable that the employees will work at either more than one centre, or they will work in Aged Care and in another sector to make ends meet. This is a direct result of government policy to favour private for-profit Aged Care.

Got my first jab today as a walk in. All done quick.
My advice, go early, get to any site as a walk-in by 7.30am . They mostly open at 9 so once they are open you are out by 10.
Next one in three weeks and I’m done. Play your role. Jab up.

You mean the vaccine delivered under Trump that was first administered in his last month in office?
Amazing how much better the situation has got since Mango Mussolini isn’t involved.
they won't be reported in the media that more than 50% of Australian access,
and when he gets questions about it from the media that will report it, he'll lie.
then when called out on lies, he will say he never said that, he actually said the opposite.
we have a slippery, cynical, incompetent PM
backed by the most powerful *smile* in the world.
plus 51% of Australian are either not very bright, or driven primarily by self-interest.
even then, only 30% vote for Liberal. They need the total buffoons at The Cotton and Coal party to get them over the line.
Michale McCormack is a complete areshole moron. He's happy for the Murray River to run dry and Koalas extinct, if his mates make a few hundred million out of it.
The feds would have removed that regulation under pressure from the industry. The owners cut cists, exploit workers and residents and make a killing.
Add to this the painfully slow vaccine rollout and here we are.
Amazing they need a vaccine at all since Trumpy said Covid would be gone "like a miracle" by Easter last year.
Biden and the White House took the vaccine rollout seriously and the US will reap the benefits. They are running at 3 million doses per day now.
Ha ha..you are being remarkably kind eZyT.
100% standard behaviour from politicians.
I like that you think ONLY 51% of Australians are not very bright.
Anyone who has read my posts knows my regard for politicians..but in this case, the religious fervour causes me to double down..nothing to do with political affiliation.
As an aside, anti vax , quasi scientific medical quackery, is very much akin to religious fervour.
In my view it is genetically determined.
That's not a criticism, just an observation.
But, it is why I hold no optimism for our future as a race.
without looking back there has to be a fair chance Stuart Robert was involved. he f's up everything he touches, but got a promotion recently because he is a religious mate of Morrison.
Thats fair enough, remember this Liberal government believes in no "red tape" (which is what they call regulations that protect people and the environment) and free markets (unless it involves "investing" $600m in fossil fuels.)Just heard the Feds are "debating" today if it will be mandatory for workers working in Fed Age Care to have been vaccinated.
Woah! Seriously!!
Also here is an interesting article that I came across by accident on twitter. Covers a few views we all have been discussing. Hope ok to post
Why are the states and territories, and not the Commonwealth, running hotel quarantine?
The states and territories agreed to run hotel quarantine as part of their broader responsibility for public health, despite it being a federal role under the constitution. Why?www.abc.net.au

Just when they thought they were turning the corner, worries in the UK that the Indian variant is about to kick off a third wave.

Honestly that in itself is absolutely crazy in a pandemic.
Hmm do I gamble on the one we have to wait 3 months for or do I take the one that's a 3 week wait?
