You didn't see that them quietly announce that the Delta strain originated from Hotel quarantine in Melbourne?

I would put good money on this new outbreak being another gently caress up.

Whoever is running quarantine down there needs a smack upside the head


Neddy Seagoon posted:

The way these things go, I'd say even-odds whoever was responsible for the last big outbreak never got fired or punished, and it's the same person's fault again.

I don't think it's a matter of who's in charge. Just the simple fact that hotels are loving useless as quarantine facilities. There's only so much that can be done in terms of processes to minimise transmission and even then every lesson learned goes out the window when newer more infectious variants arrive.

If anyone needs a smack it's the smirking fuckwit and his mates from Canberra who haven't bothered to do their jobs and build a proper quarantine facility.

They didn't even drive straight through. Even after she developed symptoms they still went to a heap of places. If they don't get fined, there's something very wrong.

Hey also, does anyone here know anything about how those labour hire recruitment places work? I saw a job I was interested in and put in applications through two different agencies for the same job as I figured hey cast a big net. Now I've had both of them call me back and want to shortlist me, but they've both sent me a document to sign email that asks me to agree to let them represent me.

What happens if I just sign both of them? Obvs each recruiter wants me to let them represent me so they will get their hourly cut, but will it help me or strengthen my candidacy in some way if I get shortlisted twice?

I know this has mostly been answered but as a contractor I deal with recruiters quite a lot and I would suggest that you don't apply via both of them. As long as the roles and salaries being offered match up then which ever one contacted you first is the one to go with, apologise politely to the other one and move on. All that pretending not to know and signing with both will do is piss off the recruiters - this might not be as much of an issue for you as it would be for me, but if you're unsuccessful at applying for this you never know who you will need to be on good terms with for your next role.

and lol whilst writing this I get my first call from a recruiter in probably 3 months.

The Wagners in Toowoomba who are basically rich as gently caress and own an airport capable of landing a 737 or A320 (from memory) offered to build a purpose built quarantine facility at their airport or near enough to it for 1000 beds
