Stop being selective. Not my fault is your mantra. The government let him down. Perhaps English isn’t his first language? If yes then probably another government failure for not publishing info in his native tongue.
Im not even sure what your point is so cant really respond.
 
I blame the government for not doing enough to let him know he was at an exposure site. It’s not his fault he was at the same place as someone with covid. It’s squarely on the VIC government.
It is amazing how biased you've been since the beginning of this whole pandemic.

In NSW, Gladys has been unlucky because people aren't taking personal responsibility. Hotel Quarantine failures are inevitable.

In VIC Dictator Dan's incompetence caused hotel quarantine failures. People have no resposibility. The government should let us do what we want, but also tell us exactly what to do. Luck doesn't exist.

I was wrong. No one should take responsibility. The quarantine enquiry here showed that. It started when no one wanted to put their hand up for decisions made. Everything should be done by creeping assumption.

Gladys backed her previously successful strategy which in hindsight was a mistake. You could argue a poor mistake given the evidence and information she had on the delta variant. Many on here highlighted it. (although they also bagged the successful NSW handling of previous outbreaks)

Ultimately it comes back to the initial decision making, it started with the federal government and the lack of responsibility they took for quarantine. And it is likely Scomo will be punished for it.
 
Lack of a federal approach to a national issue is definitely root cause of all issues IMO. Failed leadership. Leads to all the state infighting too.

with that said screw ups everywhere and the failure to learn in NsW particularly is most galling.

the Vic leadership around the first hotel quarantine debacle was mind bogglingly bad.

improvements in tracing in Victoria seem impressive. Comms in Victoria are very Clear. Comms in NsW are too nuanced IMO

How can anyone possibly justify giving a visa to a British Shock Jock, Katie Hopkins, to participate on VIP Big Brother,

while there are 100,000's of Australian Citizens who cant get home?

WTF?

At what point does someone get sacked for this rolling, incompetent, perversity?

someone read her justification and signed the Visa.

I can remember a day when Ministers resigned for using a government postage stamp on a personal letter.

*yes, her political viewpoint seems irrelevant in this instance, but it important in her broadcasting Covid Hoax conspiracies from our quarantine.

98 cases. NSW not really bringing their numbers down. Gladys says workplaces seeing high transmission in workplaces..der.

Edit: TikTok guy wrong today.

Even if their approach is starting to work it will take 5 days for it to become apparent. Talked to Sydney based friends yesterday, they are pretty pissed off with the way Gladys is handling it.

And there are apparently others being brought in from o/s for Celebrity Big Brother when there are thousands of Australians o/s who can't come home. Its obscene.

Not going down, but not going up either. NSW is starting to look like it has plateaued. But its still gonna be a long haul for them. 14 day average is 73 . 7 day average is 95. Even if numbers start dropping now, its gonna take them a good 4 weeks to get their 14 day average down to 5.

Dutton must be a Big Brother fan.

I had this discussion with the missus yesterday. Forget for a minute that this Hopkins chick is a complete oxygen thief; WTF is she even doing here in the first place??? When thousands of Aussies are struggling to get back here. :mad:

I heard the Minister say that all requests are reviewed and some are approved on the basis of economic benefit to the country!!!:oops: So let me just be clear; letting a stupid moron from UK into Australia to appear on the most inane TV show ever broadcast somehow provides economic benefit?? *smile* off. This is even worse than flying Marky Mark in for those infuriating Ladbrokes ads.

It just beggars belief the *smile* that is happening at the moment.

I believe this TikTok tosser was set up in a sting. He was obviously being fed info from someone in NSW Health and they deliberately provided misinformation on today's numbers and his source has been found out.

That's the state of the world at the moment. A social media w@nker getting inside info from a state health department so he can boost his followers as some sort of COVID forecast whisperer. What a *smile* arsehat.

How about getting a real job *smile* head and making some sort of meaningful contribution to society??

yes. on the foreign work visas, your suppose to be able to justify we dont have the skill set already here.

Ive been under the impression that we are pretty well stocked locally with right wing, oxygen thieving, *smile*, who will say and do anything for a headline.

I just read this horror woman was bankrupted in 2018 on a successful defamation case against,

so this deportation will hurt her. hopefully she's blown a couple of hundred grand, and ends up in a soup kitchen line being served Dahl by kind hearted migrants.

What the actual *smile* is going on?

Actually I am not sure what is a bigger insult to Australians, that this person was allowed in, or that big brother is still on TV.

Appalling decision in the first place. Didn't anyone read some background on her? And now trying to say kicked out on character? Initially let in because of the economic benefit?

Assume this was a feds decision? Mindboggling.
