Just going to put it out there, much easier to lean against a house then lift it. Like with out equipment just one person ain't going to lift poo poo.

In short the real lifters in Australian society are folk lifts yet do conservatives praise them, no!

Lifters are the ones who creat the jobs by being rich and business men. Leaners are the manual slobs who work at those businesses.

No real lifter drives a mere forklift, they drive a benz or an audi.

For some reason I started reading the vic exposure sites details despite being no where near melbourne and there's weird stuff. A public toilet appeared for two days, from 9:30 am to 4:30pm one day, 9:30 to 4:40 pm the next, with anyone who was there to confine for 14 days and get tested. Did the covid case set up shop in the toilets or do they eat kfc?

I figure it's someone that works nearby and that's the toilet they use when they are at work. If the person used the toilet multiple times during each day (and likely don't know exactly when as they don't have to sign in to use the shitter) they probably just take a precautionary approach to making it an exposure site for the whole time the person was working?

I don't care conservatives politicians don't know what word mean. Lifters lift things, folklifts do pretty much nothing but lift things, thus folklifts are the true aussie lifter.

To not shitpost about it I think it was the public toilets at the Caroline Springs shopping centre that's seen transmission but they couldn't work out where in there. All staff there have to quarantine for 14 days.

Not sure if this still applies, but having taught some basic biology/microbiology I don't see why it wouldn't. Early in the pandemic they said if you share a toilet with someone you're basically going to catch their Covid, it's not guaranteed but the way a flush toilet work basically just spreads whatever virus the person had in their poo poo onto every surface. They probably used the toilet in the morning and they didn't get deep cleaned till later.

The press will ask questions at the conference, get an extremely bullshit/wishy washy answer, and it follow it up with harder lines of questioning.

So yes but entirely in a way that does not hold her accountable.

I think so, they just respond with blah blah we will act as appropriate based on health advice…

Anyway, Sutton is saying this latest outbreak looks like it was kicked off by fresh incursion from NSW so hopefully national cabinet tells Gladys to pull her loving head in and start doing something that works for a change because I’m sick of going into lockdown because she wants to make a political point about doing it differently to Victoria.

I warned you all about flush toilets! But would you listen?

Was irresponsibly travelling about in rural NSW recently and saw this sign

I'm happy that big digestion has finally recognised the needs of the whole community.

Chad Riley died after being shot with a stun gun in an Officeworks car park in East Perth on 12 May 2017. He had a pre-existing heart condition and his family believes the stun gun directly caused his death. Western Australian police said officers were responding to an unrelated armed robbery call and saw Riley in need of "urgent medical attention". They said he became "aggressive" and "assaulted officers" before they used the stun gun, and that as they "continued their attempt to restrain the man, he became unresponsive". No officers have been suspended or charged over his death and an inquest is yet to be scheduled.

ISSUES RAISED
Medical care required but not all given, injured in custody, force used, mental health / cognitive impairment.
