the fines for breaching any of the restrictions aren't harsh enough imo, even the ones that are 5k.

make it 5k per confirmed infection that results from the breach on top of the 5k for breaching.

I would say we should just give them the ultimate punishment for an Aussie, deportation to Sydney... but well.

(honestly thought, I'm a bit scared if the numbers get much higher in NSW glads will just completely give up and scotty will shortly follow. At least all the other premiers still seem very keen on fighting the good fight.)

as a grown man, Kingswood and Canleyvale are the only two suburbs I have felt genuinely unsafe to be walking around in at night time. all the other 'bad' burbs of Sydney arent actually that bad and are in fact gentrifying or already gentrified (blacktown, marrickville, canterbury etc)

The Coalition has faced growing calls to offer a special humanitarian intake for Afghan refugees, similar to what the Abbott government set up in 2015 for 12,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Such a move would be in addition to Australia’s existing annual humanitarian intake.

Morrison indicated the Australian government would provide about 3,000 humanitarian visas to Afghan nationals this year under its existing humanitarian program, not in addition.

you know things are dire when you're hoping that Morrison changes his mind and does something that Abbott did

At some point they'll wheel out the old TV cabinet you had in Primary school- The one with all the metallic texter scribbles around the metal frame. Plug in a laptop via AV inputs into the CRT and slide a DVD into the Dell laptop. Gladys's face will appear and state a carefully crafted speech including: "Let me please ask" and this cracka "I remind all of you" and "next question" before it turns off and the lowly Young Liberal electorate staffer slowly pushes it back stage.

So the Federal government wakes up a bunch of detainees at Villawood detention centre, in one of the most COVID saturated spots in NSW, puts them and a bunch of guards on a plane and flies them in the middle of the morning to WA, then takes them to Northam, a regional town an hour or so north of Perth.

What the absolute gently caress? They best not have brought their NSW cooties with them or there will be hell to pay for the Feds.

NSW is going to be over 1000 a day by Monday. Contact tracing is 2 weeks behind and will collapse completely by the end of next week.

Victoria will add more measures, NSW won't. I dread hearing the news that it hits my son's child care centre, and my relatives and friends kids too.

It's not like the LNP's malicious stupidity to date means that vaccination is the only way to bring the outbreak under control. Victoria came back from slightly higher case numbers last year. Our government still needs to be held to account for their ongoing refusal to prioritise public health over economic liberty. We should be under shelter in place conditions for everyone not employed in a government-defined essential job. That would save far more infections and lives than trying to roll out vaccines quickly. The vaccination levels they're targeting have already been field proven overseas to not prevent ongoing outbreaks, and ongoing outbreaks mean ongoing deaths among the unvaccinated/unvaccinatable segment of the population.
