It was the eastern half of the state that caused this outbreak. There's only one solution, bomb everything east of the red rooster line.

I think we need to re-examine our strategy for NSW, instead of walling them out we should start walling them in. Border communities can hold a plebiscite to determine which side of the wall they end up on.

Vic needs to prepare it's forces to secure the Barrasi Line asap.

That loving sucks and is a grim reminder of how insecure work is for casual workers and in the gig economy.

I hope you still have work.

Really highlights that if people want work, they should be given work. Or perhaps that they should be free to pursue their own needs through a universal basic income.

This boring dystopian version of the future sucks.

Yes but you see delta variant means you can claim that you were right at the time and don't have to learn any lessons

Kids can't get it was just code for them not wanting to close schools. Mainly because they just want people to keep working at all costs.

No they can’t, vic stomped delta less than a month beforehand. If they weren’t watching and learning from that they should be sacked.

If I was backpedalling this hard my chain would go flying off my bicycle and perform a glory kill on a passerby. There's no admission of error, just unthinking "can't criticise response" rhetoric, that's bullshit, coming from anyone. You absolutely can criticise, and should, government when it fails.

Both?

Vic was already a week and a half into lockdown before the first delta case was detected. Vic entered lockdown 27th May, the first delta cases were detected overnight between 3rd/4th June.

Everyone here loves to refer to Sydney's spillover, keep in mind at many points in this pandemic, 50% of returned travellers in NSW hotel quarantine have been people travelling onto other states after returning internationally without anybody in NSW complaining about the Labor premiers abandoning returning Australians. Perhaps NSW quarantine would have never had any leaks at all had Labor premiers been willing to do their job and help reunite Australians with their families, without inventing imaginary evil migrant holidaymaker narratives.

Those outbreaks in Melbourne and Perth didn't involve hairdressers that worked at a salon where 900 clients were potentially exposed. The first limo driver case in this outbreak was reported on the the 16th, the problems with the Double Bay Salon began on the 15th and were unknown until the 24th, at which point restrictions immediately began to tighten. Unless NSW was supposed to lockdown before any cases were reported, the situation is not remotely comparable to the small number of cases Victoria and Perth had to deal with.

It does seem like a valid point that right now Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, Malaysia, Fiji etc are experiencing record numbers of cases despite having handled the situation well up to now. It's almost like this is a more infectious variant that is harder to deal with, which results in more unknown spread earlier on. And NSW is still better positioned than most other places that are handling a Delta outbreak right now.
