NSW Health is getting pushback about locking down suburbs within the LGA instead of the whole LGA.

Rightfully so. Doing poo poo piecemeal like this hasn't worked through the whole lockdown by stages and areas, and just makes it confusing and makes people angrier and see it as unfair treatment for a virus that absolutely does not give a poo poo about what suburb or LGA you are in. We'll just have a new neighbouring area that's the "bad" area in a week or so.

kirbysuperstar posted:Rightfully so People are trying to justify it on the basis that Penrith has wards, but locking down only the eastern ward means that you're not locking down the locations of the biggest shopping centres and businesses. Not to mention that Blacktown also has wards but the whole of Blacktown LGA was locked down. (and Blacktown is huge).

So like the whole NSW outbreak is going to get worse and worse - what's Gladys' end game? At what point do they declare a Victoria style lockdown? Or will they just ignore it and hope it keeps spilling into the other states?

"All this mayhem" is on SBS on demand and it's a decent watch. About the Pappas brothers from Melbourne who were at one point the best vert skateboarders in the world. What the gently caress happened in the 90s and 2000s to make gen X dudes so angry?

They'd rather let everyone die than admit they hosed up the response. They're just going to throw up their hands and say they tried, blame the public, and then roll it all back and let it "run its course" as soon as they can. Maybe after they can say that most of the NSW population has had at least one dose of vaccine as if that's adequate.

I think I posted this already in one of the other Australia threads but my mum called earlier and immediately started ranting about the “bloody Chinese”. She never used to be like this, lockdown has given her a bad case of boomer brain spiders.

The messaging leans very heavily towards "it's up to you" these days, which completely ignores the fact that we still have insufficient vaccine to cover everyone. When this outbreak started, the lifting of restrictions wasn't tied to a vaccination threshold. It feels like a bit of a bait and switch to now talk about those targets as though the only thing which determines whether and when they're met is the public's willingness to roll up their sleeves. Fwiw, we're absolutely behind on contact tracing. Younger daughter was a casual contact and it took two weeks for her to be contacted. Lolie fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Aug 8, 2021 |

I think she just spends too much time on Facebook. The opposite has happened to my dad though, he’s gotten way less racist and way more progressive since the lockdown rollercoaster began.

All the big problems like poverty and racism and sexism and homophobia were solved! All this was reinforced by the media telling us all how awesome the modern world was. Unless you weren't rich, straight, white or male. In which case it felt like the world had moved on from merely making GBS threads on you to actively telling you to your face that you didn't exist and were either exaggerating or outright lying about how hosed up poo poo still was. This was all coupled with a whole slew of political and police bullshit to keep you invisible. And all THAT meant a whole lot of very angry marginalised kids.

The vaccination thresholds aren't. The Liberals know they're unreachable and they're just a scapegoat to shift blame away from them for not doing more to stop COVID spreading. "What's that? Cases are climbing higher by the day? Oh lockdowns wouldn't help that, we've given you direct messaging to go get vaccinated, that's all YOUR fault, peasants!"

I saw what I think is an Eclectus parrot in the camberwell area of Melbourne today. It was in a tree making a very distinctive call that I've never heard before, I assume it's someone's pet cos we don't get them this far south. I'm worried for it's safety. Deep red head with blue in the body and a dark beak.

Sydney is already in most of Vic Stage 4 with a some probably pointless adjustments (no 5km rule) and some critical omissions (no ring of steel to stop people going to the loving regions). What’s missing are the detailed workplace/industry restrictions and capacity changes that were key in stopping Vic second wave in lower skilled essential workplaces. Previously NSW probably couldn’t do these because the fiscal support (JobKeeper) wasn’t there, but now there is so it can only be ascribed to Gladys’ hubris. The plan insofar as there is one is that when LGAs get to 50% adults vaxxed they can start outdoor dining with 4-sq m rule and some other baby steps towards letting ‘er rip.

Just got a text from a mate in Geelong in Victoria that he had a customer stop in for some drinks on her way back from the snow because it had been a six hour drive and she apparently didn't think things like lockdowns or quarantines applied to her family. I have not the faintest clue how far from somewhere like Geelong the nearest snow is, but I'm going to guess it's more than 5km. So many entitled loving idiots in the world.

They probably went up the snow before the lockdown. I assume they're allowed to come home if they're on holiday when a lockdown is announced. I know one family in that situation right now.

Nah I don't buy it. Plenty of rich white straight assholes around and a lot of them were into skateboarding. Limp bizkit/nu metal are a scapegoat. If you're going to take that route then you may as well blame Judas Priest for backwards messages on records telling kids to kill themselves. The music of the time was a response, not an instigation.

My dad was headed down a similar path thanks to reading the Herald Sun every day, at one point he started ranting about African gangs even though he lives way out in country Victoria and he probably hasn't even set eyes on any African immigrants for decades. He sure got over that racist poo poo fast when my brother got an Indian girlfriend and dad realised she was pretty much his last hope of getting grandkids.

Funny thing is about that situation is even the rich straight white assholes got screwed up by it in their own way. Especially since even the well off ones were starting to realise the boomers really were never actually going to move over and let them have a turn at the big things.

Megillah Gorilla posted:There was an article with Kamahl a while ago where he talks about his experiences on the show and how toxic and racist it was. He seems like a genuinely nice person, like Ernie Dingo, who you know spent their entire career dealing with the most evil poo poo being thrown at them but not only managed to survive, but do so while maintaining who they are as a someone infinitely better than the pieces of poo poo who run TV and make trash like Hey Hey. I met Kamahl when he came in for a show I was working on. He was polite, perfectly charming, quite funny and kind, everything you hope he is. He did a couple of rehearsal runs but his voice still broke right at the end of the main take but didn't want to do another one because he didn't want to take up everyone's time. Good on him. Megillah Gorilla posted:
FUNFACT: Before delays, Bert was cast in Mad Max- Fury Road. While there is nothing official, concept art suggests he was originally intended to play The People Eater, but schedule changes had him replaced with John Howard (Actor, not shitcunt). (People Eater concept art by Peter Pound. Note: Rictus Erectus was originally supposed to be his enforcer.)  This might have changed his stature in entertainment somewhat, but he did just lose a leg so it looks like he's done for now.
