Also pretty brave to come out, especially the 17 year old, a bit sad when the mum feels the need to qualify "that we are not actors, this is not a script, this is our story" and goes on to say “Maybe there will be anonymous people online who will try and make her feel bad for speaking out. But they should know that nothing will ever make her feel worse than what COVID did.”

Very brave & pretty scary for her & her family.

In better news this looks promising. Hopefully approved soon.

Wow. Those 2 Melbourne dheads have paid a massive price - 10 months jail. Minimum 3 months. They’ll have criminal records now which means one of them won’t be able to work in the finance industry anymore either.

What a pair of fwts.

They certainly don’t look like they would fit in, in jail either.

I know one shouldn’t always judge a book by it’s cover. But pretty boy private school, old tie types is my guess. The type you see wearing polo shirt, chinos and jumper around the shoulders (in fact there are photos circulating of one of the two wearing that sort of attire).

Doesn’t bare thinking about what sort of time they might have inside. Hopefully they don’t mind sharing a bunk with their large, hairy backed bikie cell mate, so as to not cause offence as a bad house guest.

Easy to say when you’re not sitting in jail and Big Phil and his mates reckon you look ok….

In all honesty I would request to be put in solitary.

Legal penalties are one thing, but the source for their various tickets should be exposed. Not convinced they weren't assisted by someone at the club and/or AFL.

Nearly 2300 cases in Victoria today. So much for the downward trend. Showing up NSW as amateurs in Covid case numbers.

In reality the penalty is way over the top. I reckon if they were a couple of werribee boys (unlikely to barrack for the Dees I suppose) who drove the nullabor and snuck into the GF and changeroom after match they'd be lauded for their audacity.

Imagine there's a fair dose of regret right now.

Will be a classic case study one day. What was originally good will turned into general non or lackadaisical compliance probably because of so many micro freedom imposts that in the end have seemed unnecessary. (esp. outdoor restrictions) vs focusing on the high risk scenarios. Also when zero became unachievable its a bit like being 7 goals down in the grand final with half a quarter left - it turns into 15 goals pretty quickly.

OK...so what is wrong in Victoria?

Doing much worse than NSW and infinitely worse than every other state.

Don't give me the GF explanation..I don't buy it.

I noticed there will be pop up vax sites at some cafes and gyms..this is great, but well well overdue.
Pop up sites have long been needed everywhere.
Everyone has known access to vax appointments and locations has been an issue.
If the problem now is compliance .....who,where and why?
Is it too many self righteous , self indulgent folk, or confused and ignorant migrants, or false information from religious or community leaders? Has the Vic govt been too tardy , too lenient, not aggressive enough?
Far too many accepted workers in my view too.

Still hearing of many people refusing vax and masks for nonsense reasons. What's wrong with people?

Figures a bit disappointing today to say the least.

Federal government doing what they do best… killing local manufacturing.

I was initially scratching my head over this spike in numbers, but when you work through the timeline, it actually makes sense. 2 weeks ago, we had a massive spike in cases as a result of illegal grand final parties (we went from 694 on 27/9 to 1429 on 30/9). Today’s numbers represents the results of day 13 tests from close contacts of positive cases from illegal grand final parties.
 
Lee's 2000 prediction only two days off. THE Age comments daily there are amateur statisticians posting Reff numbers extrapolating trends comparing to other states all.looking to say we are trending down ... about as accurate as those predicting stock market crashes over the years. By the way Covid will end and the stick market will crash..guaranteed. can't say when though.

Let’s face it. Victoria is Australia’s problem child where Covid is concerned. No more defending Victoria. Everything from bungalled quarantine over and over, to riots and protests, to basic belligerence towards the rules and restrictions by people particularly various sectors like the building industry ….and on and on. One issue after another after another. From government to industry to individuals. Yeah we’ve had a couple of cross border infection break outs but beyond that, we’ve been a basket case.
