Living next door to Gladys
In case you haven’t noticed yet, the Coronavirus is now running ‘out of control’ across New South Wales.
However you wouldn’t know it from the press conferences attended by the Premier for New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian, the Deputy Premier John Barilaro, Minister for Health Brad Hazzard and the Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant.
Today, Gladys was decidedly upbeat declaring she was ‘super excited’ with the numbers, announcing 882 cases and 2 deaths in the past 24 hours.
“Pleasingly,” she said five times within five minutes, this was not an absolute fuck-up of momentous proportions as we might be inclined to believe, but rather a cause for celebration, as schools will begin to re-open from October 25.
This may be great news for parents bemoaning the burden of home-schooling. Not so good for the two people who died overnight.
Scott Morrison has been similarly upbeat and consistent with his messaging declaring that lockdowns were an abomination when Melbourne was impacted, then a necessary and effective strategy when Sydney went into lockdown, but now an abomination again.
It’s hard to keep up.
One thing is for sure though. This has been an unmitigated fkn disaster and it’s entirely due to the incompetence of Morrison and Berejiklian.

First! 🥇
LOL…
Dr Chant hasn’t faired too well in recent weeks.
She looked quite youthful a few months ago.
Now she looks like one of those before and after mugshots you see on those “Faces of Meth” documentaries…
Yeah!
4000 people in Australia died of the flu in 2018. We need to lockdown every year
We need to ban alcohol, because about 6000 people die each year from alcohol related causes
We need to have a speed limit of 25 km/hr because speed kills. We know that.
Tobacco of course is banned, that goes without even needing any data
Several people were killed by sharks last year. They’re goners. Dead sharks to save humans!0
In case you haven’t noticed yet, the Coronavirus is now running ‘out of control’ across New South Wales.
Haven’t read anything else!
My son-in-law is in Orange … has been for last three weeks … luckily he has had two Pf vacs …
One thing is for sure though. This has been an unmitigated fkn disaster and it’s entirely due to the incompetence of Morrison and Berejiklian.
Some trivia for the untravelled and uninterested … my teacher in second year at high school sang in this world renowned choir …

That’s an old business trick for H&S stats … came across it constantly …
Lies, damn lies and statistics …
Pity, because good stats make for good decisions … any system is only as good as the people who operate it!

Any ideas on how long a one week lockdown should last?
Last year we were told 2 weeks to flatten the curve and then it is over.
Lockdowns are not sustainable, we can’t rely on random lockdowns of unknown duration as a strategy
In Victoria, people are ignoring or avoiding the restrictions and no wonder after 6 lockdowns, 7 months of hard lockdown, months of curfew
The government is losing public support, or has lost it
Apparently Dan will announce some easing of the restrictions.
My tip is that he will allow swings to open, but not slides.
(Any ideas on how long a one week lockdown should last?
Nope, no idea: although, I once thought I spent c.64 billion years (cumulative) nonlocal-time (co-)generating a (near-instantaneous/sub-sub-Planck) universal(izeable) vaccine (of sorts); whilst staying absolutely still, despite being incessantly (almost-)protein-)spiked, for about 42 minutes local-time; so….my (inter-)temporal metrics prolly (still) are a bit off.)
Yesterday: Frydenberg says Harvey Norman shouldn’t pay back JobKeeper
Today: Harvey Norman announces bumper profit and pays back JobKeeper.
Frydenberg: I always said Harvey Norman should pay back JobKeeper.

Apparently Dan Andrews told a white lie
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9946005/The-real-reason-Dan-Andrews-closed-playgrounds-kids-spreading-Covid.html
The truth is finally out. Playgrounds were shut down to punish the parents, not because kids were spreading Covid.
Victorian children who have spent months living in fear of becoming infected at their local playground have finally been told there was no real evidence they were going to catch Covid-19 playing on the swings.
In a stunning admission sure to enrage Melbourne families, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton admitted on Wednesday the parks were banned for the last month to get at parents.
oooh, a ‘stunning’ admission.
Last Monday Professor Sutton explained the rationale for the decision to close playgrounds and other outdoor recreation areas.
‘There have been instances where parents supervising children at playgrounds were sitting down, drinking coffee and not wearing masks or social distancing,’ he said.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9946005/The-real-reason-Dan-Andrews-closed-playgrounds-kids-spreading-Covid.html
They don’t even read their own fucken articles lol
So what??
I said Dan Andrews told a white lie
This one week lockdown is going well! We now have 20 times as many cases as when Dan called it! And now we have to put up with Dan’s new narrative, about vaccination rates, and hospitalisation.
Thanks for your well known candor, Dan
LOL…. Is YoM Michael O’Brien…?

Yes, I could be Michael O’Brien, if I lost 40 IQ points and rubbed some shoe polish into my hair
LOL… so it is you….!!

I find it interesting that the left often seems to day that the extended lockdown is due to selfish and entitled types not complying with restrictions. They ignore that the localities with the greatest spread of the virus are in the ALP heartland.
Thw ALP heartland also has about the lowest rates of vaccination
Where have the protest been?
Should stick hope and prayers?

I said Dan Andrews told a white lie
Please. Elaborate
TomR
Andrews apparently implied he banned children using swings was because children were spreading Covid. Turns out he did not want parents meeting each other and talking to each other or something like that.
My post was entitled “Dan Andrews told a white lie””
Turns out you were too stupid to see my point
The article I linked to was written weeks before that piece, by the same shit sheet, and it has the Government clearly stating that one of the main concerns for playgrounds was that parents were mingling, leading to transmission.
I mean, they can then, weeks later, cherry pick another comment and pretend that was all that was said. Unfortunately, they had actually reported on the other aspects of the reasoning back when the decision was made.
It’s sad that articles like this are a written. It’s sadder that there is an audience for them.
TomR
What??
Both articles are the same. The article you linked to was the article i linked to.
They are both data 1/9 because they are the same articles. Both were written by Wayne Flower on 1/9/2021
Perhaps you linked to the wrong article??
My point was Andrews told a white lie
This is the article i linked to and your link is the same

TB, you appear to have overlooked a couple of superfund failures:
You must have accidentally overlooked these failed funds – it couldn’t possibly be that you singled out Christian funds for your cynical comments and had nothing to say about nonperforming union-linked funds screwing over their members, could it? I mean its not as though you carry on like a triggered psycho every time you mention anything Christian is it? Or that you expend truckloads of energy arse-licking all things unionland?
Chuckle … always good for a laugh …
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On a more serious note … Murdoch Press hypocrisy writ large …
Guess which story is on the front page and which one is tucked away below.
The one thing that is pissing me off is the politicising BS from the media …

Oh my dog, nil is right.???
I pasted the wrong link (but had the right quote)
Try this one
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9907115/Dan-Andrews-dismisses-backlash-against-banning-kids-Melbournes-playgrounds.html
TB, be fair. Palaszczuk was the one politicising the matter. Ranting on about 12 year olds dying is not based on any scientific or medical reasoning. It was scare-mongering at its finest. Almost as bad as when Mongrel Young demonised AZ. That will cause deaths by creating unnecessary fear. I had to work hard and go through the numbers to convince some of my younger ones that they were much better off with AZ than with nothing.
When do you think we should open up?
The way Queensland politicians and their helpers undermined public confidence in astra zenica is disgraceful
This is nuts:
People are going to wish they were back in hotel quarantine soon splats 😦
Seems you get to choose though
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-23/how-will-south-australias-home-quarantine-trial-work/100398878
My daughter is in hotel quarantine with her husband and 2yo. Not fun.
Our hospitals in western Sydney are not coping. I hope significant resources are going into expanding capacity before re-opening. It’s not just about the percentage vaxxed.
When do you think we should open up?
Certainly not under NSW is under better control … isolating NSW by other states in no different to NSW isolating particular suburbs …
Other than that stick to the 80% vaccine for all Aussies before even considering it …
Even then we will be stuck with masks and tracing well into next year …
Just read your last comment … our son-in-law has been in Orange for over six weeks and doesn’t know when he’ll be home. Our lot are used to it tho’, son served in ETimor for ten months and got R&R in Australia for two days in Darwin … his wife and toddler were in Townsville!
Lockdown might give people an idea of what our ADF members and families go thru pretty much all the time …
Vaccines only work if people have them … measles is a classic case … my recent bout of shingles came from the chickenpox virus I suffered when I was seven, lies dormant in your spine …
Viruses will wipe us all out eventually … then they’ll die themselves … or mutate … and start on another species 💀
i hope you didn’t suffer too badly with the shingles. I recently had a friend my age get hit by it. I also heard that you can have a shot against it. I asked the doc and he said I had to wait a couple of years to qualify otherwise I’d have to pay. How much? $200. I had the shot! A bargain considering what my friend when through.
While the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have stuffed up the Covid response the are prepared for an attack of Zombies!
A bargain considering …
Laid me low for a couple of weeks … mine was in the groin … not pleasant … I’ve had the shot but had to wait six months … to be sure that it was gone … you can have shingles more than once! I agree shot is a no brainer.
… prepared for an attack of Zombies!
No probs here with their list …
As a primer watch all the seasons of The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead … 🤢👽💀🥶😱🤡 They come in all shapes and sizes … some are already amongst us!
Luckily most are in the USA
Our lot are used to it tho’, son served in ETimor for ten months and got R&R in Australia for two days in Darwin
So that is why you hate the Coalitions role in East Timor. You had family involved.
Perhaps if Gough Whitlam/ALP did not give away East Timor things may have been different.
Howard had to send in the troops to get back what Labor traded away.
So that is why you hate the Coalitions role in East Timor.
Nope, but I don’t like cheats, thieves and deceit especially when it comes to friends …
Howard carried it much much further than sending in the ADF he deceived a friend and robbed them …
Like i said
Whitlam/ALP gave East Timor to Indonesia
Howard sent in the troops and got their Independence
Whitlam/Labor thought East Timor to be too small to be a independent country. So in the early 1970’s Labor gave East Timor to Indonesia
Well aware of the history … but you seem not to be answering the Howard deception again …
FYI .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_occupation_of_East_Timor
And also FYI having lived in PNG I’m not happy about Indonesia’s take over of West Papua … it too should be part of PNG!
BTW, SB, we got off track When do you think we should open up?
Queensland will have the choice between being a hermit state, or accepting that zero covid is impossible.
I’m hoping they choose to remain isolated
Like i said
You also said Andrews told a white lie, but that was a lie itself.
I’m hoping they choose to remain isolated
Did you see all those Neanderthals in WA going out and watching the finals last night. Imagine living in a cave like that lol
But don’t worry, funerals will soon be big business
Well aware of the history … but you seem not to be answering the Howard deception again …
All i know for certain is that Howard sent in the troops and got East Timor their independence. It must have been a tricky diplomatic time and a great achievement by Howard.
I also know people hate Howard and tell lies about him. Do you have a reputable article about Howards so-called deception???
This reminds me of nil comments lol
All you Dads Happy Fathers Day tomorrow … wherever you are.

Does anyone yet have an idea about how long a one week lockdown should be?
As long as Gladys says it needs to be.
Does anyone yet have an idea about how long a one week lockdown should be?
Whatever! My Son in law has been cooped up in Orange for six weeks … he’s pissed off as all his family is, but he isn’t whinging all the time like “someone” we know …
I suppose Gladys the Golden Girl is now in control of Australia … it must have been a plan!
Well sorry GGG it fkn backfired!
As he licks his semen off his fevered hands and feels the thrill of godlike power coursing through his being, Stairman Dan decrees that the unvaccinated won’t receive medical treatment:
So if you have a condition that prevents vaccination or if you’ve already had covid and have better natural immunity than vaccination brings or if, like me you spent 4 days in hospital with a reaction to AV and are waiting for the immunologists to decide* about a second shot then you can’t see a doctor any more.
It’s a shame the old groper wasn’t beaten to death!
They also told me yesterday that even if the current tests allow for a second shot it will not be AZ and therefore I will not be eligible for a vaccine “passport” as having a different vaccine doesn’t satisfy the criteria for being double vaxxed. Go figure.
Come up to Queensl … too late …
As for Slutty Morriscum, seven weeks away and a free border pass and flight home …
My comment above …
“”Whatever! My Son in law has been cooped up in Orange for six weeks””
then you can’t see a doctor any more.
You sure there aren’t any caveats to that?
Just wondering what people think of TPG’s home wireless service?? Currently on TPG’s NBN12 plan i get 11Mbps and 100GB download. 50GB from 8.30AM to 2.30AM and 50GB from 2.30AM to 8.30AM
For existing customers for the same price i get double the speed (20Mbps) and unlimited downloads.
Only downside appears to be i do not get a land line
https://www.tpg.com.au/home-wireless-broadband
BTW TPGs home wireless service is marketed as an alternative to the NBN
SB, perhaps you could answer Kneel … I’m drying my keyboard and cleaning the screen … waste of fucking good wine!
“perhaps you could answer Kneel “
Neil is a complete waste of time. Too stupid to understand.
Biden’s Besties:
I’m drying my keyboard and cleaning the screen … waste of fucking good wine!
Why the laughing?? TPGs fixed wireless sounds good to me. For the same price ($49.99/month) i get unlimited downloads compared to 50GB between 8.30AM and 2.30AM the next day on TPGs NBN12 plan. And 20Mbps compared to 11Mbps download speed.
I have heard that download speeds can depend on windspeed and dust in the air or something like that with fixed wireless. And i guess it works on the 4G network. When 5G comes in speeds could be 10-100 times faster. If true it could wipe out the NBN
Not excusing Biden for his complete fuck up of trumps initial fuck up, but really, ask questions before pasting (there is a link in the replies that shows the answer is :NO:
Interesting times??
Residents in apartment blocks locked-down by NSW Health are having their alcohol deliveries policed as part of a policy to limit the number of drinks being consumed each day.
NSW Health has imposed rules limiting people in “NSW Health controlled buildings” to a certain amount of alcohol each day in a bid to “ensure the safety of health staff and residents

https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2021/09/09/cashed-up-western-australia-delivers-5-6-billion-budget-surplus/
LOL!
Did WA get it right?
Would you be asking that question if the Coalition was running WA?? I have noticed that what is right or wrong for Labor supporters depends on who is in power
TB
I am wondering why you are mocking TPGs wireless alternative to the NBN?? I called it fixed wireless but that is wrong. It is mobile broadband. They are similar technologies but not the same. I guess it uses the 4G network.
For $49.99/month i get unlimited downloads with mobile broadband compared to the 100GB NBN12 plan i am now on. And it is not really 100GB. It is 50GB from 8.30AM to 2.30AM and another 50GB for the 6 hours from 2.30AM to 8.30AM. I never use the 50GB from 2.30AM to 8.30AM.
I am really thinking of ditching the NBN and going with TPGs wireless broadband. What do you think??
<i<"Did WA get it right?'
When it comes to the economy WA is in a very good place. And not may have died of Covid.
TB, I don’t like him much but good results should be recognised. So much better than the alternative.
Since TB does not want to answer i wonder if somebody else does?? This is TPGs new home wireless service
https://www.tpg.com.au/home-wireless-broadband
Since i am an existing customer i can get unlimited downloads for $49.99/month and in theory faster speeds than i get with TPGs NBN12 plan.
I have heard that home wireless is affected by wind, dust, how many people online etc. But it seems better for me than the NBN
Outstanding and insightful as usual HD. It’s good to see you!
And it was sensational to see Port get pounded
