NSW extended for 2 weeks.

How good is not putting lockdowns in place until you need to as a last resort.

Mr Frydenberg hit back at the accusation of double standards, saying people were sick of the "whingeing" from Mr Andrews.

It's Frydenberg, he's the one whose tired of the whingeing. He doesn't like people insinuating that he should be doing his stupid loving job.

gently caress this government. Officially worse than the Abbott or Howard government? Hard to tell, but maybe.

Literally just complaining about being held to account. Whinging about "whinging".

More incompetent absolutely, although we probably are lucky that Abbott wasn't PM when Covid first hit, because I imagine he would have gone with a more Trump/Johnson style response.

In parliament they must have had a pretty decent working relationship, given that when Rudd was PM for the first time Turnbull was willing to work with him on handing emissions.

On the topic of ruined plans, it's a shame 18,000 Australians had their plans to return to Australia this year ruined because Victoria, Queensland and WA made a push for the arrival cap to be slashed. Still amazes me that Australians continue to have zero sympathy for anybody that happened to be overseas at the time this began.

https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe...ox=1626226978-1

quote:

Six international flights that were supposed to be carrying Australians home will arrive at Sydney Airport completely empty of passengers today with new, halved flight caps coming into effect.

Three more planes, carrying eight, ten and 12 passengers each will land - and between them they are capable of carrying at least 750 passengers.

From today, the number of Australians allowed home will be slashed from 6070 to 3035 following a push by the Labor Premiers at the national cabinet which will see 18,000 Australians bumped from flights over the next six weeks.

Around 34,000 Australians have told DFAT that they wish to come home but can’t because of the restrictions on the number who can enter per week.

Also remember how this NSW outbreak started because of a guy that drove the crew from a freight plane?

quote:

The number of freight-only flights, or completely passenger-less flights today has increased to 16 compared to 11 last week meaning they now outnumber those carrying Australians.

I agree this is definitely a problem the states made and definitely not the fault of the federal government due to their failure in:

Providing adequate quarantine facilities

Not telling the 18,000 short term visitors who arrived for conferences, business, or holiday from January to May this year to gently caress off

Vaccinating the general population

I've forgotten, why did Victoria, Queensland and WA (hmm what do all these states have in common) propose to reduce the number of arrivals?
