id say theres every indication they'lle tread water, status quo, stay in lickdown, 200-500 a day, hope to minimise deaths,
until 80% vaccination, probably in December,
then hire a PR firm to come up with a few words, something like 'safety, decisive, protection, to say on high rotation for a year.
then when everyone is preoccupied with who gets voted off Australias biggest celebrity sourdough artisanal baker,
theylle call an election, win in a landslide, and give a heap of harbourfront public land to rich LNP donors and approve new gas wells all through the Pilaga
What will the Mudoch media's headlines be ? Something about under 16 hockey again or how some fringe lunatic or ahole doesn't want a lockdown in Victoria ?
356 cases in Sydney today. Gladys says that curfews and a ring of steel don't work because Delta is more infectious.
So if its more infectious, is the plan to put less measures in place to stop the spread? That makes zero sense.
She keeps banging on about how they have the harshest restrictions but never clarifies what it is that makes their lockdown the harshest. The daily cases indicate that what they're doing isn't working. Whats that expression about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

Nearly one third of these new cases have been infectious in the community.
Does this ahole realise that the country is so far behind in its vaccination program that if she doesn't use the only lever available to her - proper lockdown - that en masse sickness and death is going to follow for the time it takes to get the country fully vaccinated, which again is a long way off ? 80% ....December. There's no guarantee of any of that. WTF is wrong with this woman ?
The fact that we have this ever increasing case number in NSW, it now has flow on effects for the rest of the country. This isn't a international quarantine coralling thing that we're talking about. Its an entire state with the Delta variant which will be impossible for other states to protect itself from, the end result being that Victoria will end up in lockdown for months and months and months as well. The virus doesn't recognise inland borders.
Its time for the National Cabinet to step in and direct this ahole to take the right and proper action that she should have all along. For the entire country's sake.

Them ? What about the cost to Victoria that this could cause ? And other states.
Time to move to WA.
Are there any powers the PM / federal government has to overrule a state governments approach?
Withdraw financial aid until she does what she knows she has to, and should have done, all along.
Finally all print and tv media are putting a positive spin on people rushing for vaccines, including AZ and including 18-39 year old bracket.
Media have a lot to answer for for their initial fear monger clickbait headlines and exaggeration of vaccine hesitancy.

First time I've watched a NSW press conference for more than 5 minutes. These three inspire zero faith in me. They look *smile* clueless. Gladys loves to scurry off quickly.
Say what you want about Dan and his team - but they perform so much better than these fools do at their press conferences.

yes, but can you see our brave PM ever going against his beloved NSW government? He'll keep throwing cash at them.
mate, people who believe we will be 80% vaccinated by Xmas is in la-la land… even if projections suggest that we will. Do you know why? Because Morrison will find a way to fluff the next stages of the vaccine rollout. I really don’t know how people can trust anything he says about vaccines after his bumbling of it so far.
As for boosters… well that really is a distant memory.
Andrews has been pushing for a ring of steel in Sydney for about 2 weeks now. with incursions in Victoria, QLD, Tassie and cases in Orange and Northern NSW, I can’t see how anyone can disagree with this. Its time the other premiers stepped up started putting pressure on NSW to do this. We need to protect the rest of Australia. If NSW refuse, the states will have to completely shut the borders. It pains me to say this because I know how hard this will be for border communities. But we just can’t let this escape NSW.
Still being let off so easily. She's still going with the rhetoric, that NSW are somehow different to the rest of Australia, because you know Delta. They are the only ones to have been impacted by Delta, none of the other states have. She blatantly lies, and the journos up there allow her to do it. Imagine if Andrews said something like that, would be destroyed.
He'd have to make a decision & he has proven to be "Decision Impotent" In other words he can't harden up & make one.
From what I can gather from Gladys’ shitshow presser is that she has the harshest lock down restrictions because their list of essential workers isn’t as long as Victoria’s list of essential workers. Harsh.
Thats exactly how I read it too. Bunnings etc is open and all that, but because their essential workers list is short, means they are harsher.
I'd love to know what Bunnings sales have been like whilst they have enforced people stay at home. I'd hazard a guess that they have had bumper sales as people that cannot work, start to do projects and odd jobs around the house and they need to browse Bunnings to be able to do that, but then of course as Kerry Chant said about 4-5 weeks ago, they hadn't had any transmission in retail environments (until they did).
