Byron Bay area in lockdown after COVID-19 case visited from Sydney
The NSW North Coast local government areas of Byron Shire, Richmond Valley, Lismore and Ballina Shire are in lockdown after a positive case travelled to the region from Sydney.

Maybe best for the betting thread. I’ll find a link that explains a few things.
Thanks
Yes , of course it could also be said that by encouraging people who haven’t been in a church for 20 years saying they are Anglican (or whatever) it is creating a false impression of how important religion is in Australia
Words from Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon about the anti -vaxx guy who doesn't believe in Covid but finds himself in hospital with it ...
"When it happens because someone is complacent or negligent it's unacceptable, it's worse than stupidity, when you just don't give a sh*t, that's next level for me."
the other fact that has emerged is that he left his Covid positive wife back in Sydney before heading north ..

Sorry, site rules state you can only publish a snippet from paid news sources.
Age - "And now the 2021 Census is upon us, the secularists are campaigning again. Last month, an opinion article by Humanists Australia CEO Heidi Nicholl urged Australians to mark the “no religion” box in the Census. This, she wrote, was in the interests of reducing funds to faith-based schools, chaplaincy programs and the like."

HS - "There is a large campaign on social media to persuade people who don't regularly go to church to tick "no religion" instead of the faith they were brought up in and identify with."

Brought up in AND identify with
I was brought up with Christianity (brainwashed into ) but thankfully got educated. Do not identify with it or any other religion. I don’t tick that box now. I don’t subject my kids to religion if they want to explore it when they are older they have that choice.

It’s probably for the religion thread but I doubt there are many folks who start with no religion or a particular religion and end up with a different one. Sure there are plenty of stories like yours now when this choice isn’t meant with death or ostracism.
Quaddies are better than all ups. There is only one deduction. A 4 leg all up means you get whacked a deduction 4 times. Bookies love multis.
So, there's a large campaign for people to be honest when answering the religion question on the census, I really can't see a problem. Does anyone seriously think the churches/mosques/temples etc are not sending their feelers out to make sure people list their religion on the census?
In any case, this is the COVID thread so that's not really the topic for here.
In brighter news, 12 weeks does eventually pass and this Friday I have an appointment to get my second jab of AZ - woohoo I'll be fully vaccinated. Figure there will probably be a booster later, most likely sometime next year once the vaccines ordered late by the incompetents in Canberra finally arrive in numbers.

"HS - "There is a large campaign on social media"
So large that despite being connected to most social media platforms, the only place I've heard about this is on PRE.
On the subject of boosters, I've read plenty on mixing the first dose of AZ with a second dose of Pfizer (and vice versa) and the benefits of doing so, but what about the mixing of boosters ? e.g. if you have 2 doses of AZ and then a booster of Pfizer or Moderna, is that advisable or not ?
Yeah I think we've had around 70 positive cases that have been in the community since Friday. No way this ends on Thursday; not a chance in hell.
Big deal. Offset by any amount of bonus bets, increased odds powerplays, money backs etc etc etc offered by all corporates - and without having to go to a stinky venue. All of which I might point out are factored into the price anyway. Nobody's getting anything for free.
