Being a selfish prick but a law abiding one, my current priority is how many tigers an Essendon supporting Premier will let me watch the GF with. it's been 0 until the last 4 when it ballooned to 1 .
Sorry for putting everyone at risk for hoping for 5 from different households.

States and even counties can mandate their own restrictions.

Similar things are happening in the UK with regional cities making their own restrictions given they feel the national approaches aren't working.

Ha ha. So Dan has done a great job? Only the die hards could think that.

Its clear you are controlled by your political affiliations.

Sure there was a *smile* up with hotel quarantine and that still needs to be fully addressed.
Sure there was a problem with aged care, this hasn't been addressed at all and needs to be done at a federal level. No accountability taken by the feds as such.

Dan, yes has made some mistakes but so have practically every leader around the world. The recovery has been good and he has been very steadfast under huge pressure to see this out and he should be congratulated for that, others would have given into that pressure like we have seen overseas and thats why the UK is a very good example.

I have no political affiliation., I dislike most politicians. He’s had no choice. He went his own way and 800 people lost their lives. how many lost their businesses ? He lied to an inquiry as did most of his fellows. And he is to be congratulated?

Wouldn’t matter what political persuasion he is I would hold the same opinion.

Talking about wearing masks, I find it quite amazing the number of dildos who DON'T wear them properly, they they have the mask over the mouth but not over their nose. I didn't realise how many mouth breathers there were.

Having watched one of these press conferences now in full, I have a lot of respect for Dan and Brett Sutton. Journos constantly just trying to trip them up rather than find something useful out. Complete and utter gutter journalism a lot of the guys there.

I'm not sure I'd answer the questions with as much respect as they are.

Looks like no change for GF viewing numbers unless you can set up your TV in a park.

Have to admit the questioning from some quarters bordered on unreasonable. Andrews clearly communicated the need for a conservative approach but some people just don't want to hear it. It's as though Victoria has invested big in a quaddie and some are agitating to cash out at a loss after two legs.

Asking the same question over and over again and wondering why they get the same answer. Surprised Dan hasn't left his podium to give one of two of them a clip across the ears.

Did you see the ones asked at Brett Sutton when he said he didn't recall being at a meeting when something (I can't remember what it was) was said. He was asked (fairly) why it was shown he was at that meeting, and he said that he arrived late after the said statements had been made. The next journo then says something along the lines of, well because you lied about that how can we trust anything you said. What???? He was asked about that repeatedly. You could see in his face, how can I keep saying I've answered that in a polite way.

He was also asked (and these 2 questions were from the same journo), do they know where the Kilmore outbreak started. He said, no, they knew the close contacts but not which was the initial spreading event. The same journo then says, so was the initial spread from a healthcare worker. You could see in his face he wanted to say "what the *smile* did I just say"
