freebooter posted:Auckland did, and I don't think anyone would dispute it's been a better year for most New Zealanders than most Sydneysiders and Melburnians. When we went into the lockdown here in SA as well that was the feeling as well, based on having seen what happened to Victoria. If this NSW outbreak spreads there's gonna be some real hate.

Ol Sweepy posted:The name Wolohan reminds me of the monks in AOE2 so I feel like we're off to a better start than we would have been with Andrews. This is such another loving cop out and also totally ignores the fact that with the current need for information to be distributed quickly many of the states are also using Facebook as a platform for people to get information. I'm already resigned to idiots reelecting him after proclaiming him a new Howard for passing the low bar of managing to survive in office for an entire term.

Konomex posted:McGowan said it was a Federal responsibility to oversee Quarantine, and in the act it specifically calls out a number of locations for use as Quarantine. Christmas Island being one of them. I keep seeing people suggesting this, but I haven't seen anyone put forward anything to say that those facilities are suitable as Covid quarantine facilities. Remember that for them to work the facilities not only have to prevent Covid getting out, but have to prevent those staying there from catching it as well.

Not all hotels, but the ones which are suitable generally have: -Rooms that are suitable for someone to be stuck in for prolonged periods with self-contained bathroom facilities and the like. -Staff and facilities that are already reasonably well trained and setup for no-contact dealings with guests when preparing and delivering meals. -Ventilation systems that minimize the internal recycling of air. Covid-19 has spread through internal ventilation and here in Adelaide it was determined that even a former hospital was ultimately unsuitable as a quarantine facility due to the airflow. -Positioning within easy transfer range of major international airports. -Positioning within easy transfer range of major hospitals. -Positioning within easy range of the staff needed to work in the facilities. Most of the times we have had a breach of quarantine in hotels has been due to unforeseen events, previously unconsidered modes of transmission, or staff error. It wouldn't be impossible to setup remote facilities, but it would greatly complicate things a lot. The more complication, the more chance of mistakes happening.

It's quite possible that the WA Liberals are looking at how the Liberal government here in SA is handling renewables. They have become massively more supportive of renewables and emission targets since entering government than they were before being elected.

Animal Friend posted:I mean, he has been writing in the Guardian about the need for a Green New Deal in Australia and largely fallen into the Fraser-esque role of critical Liberal talking head since leaving politics. Being under constant attack from Sky and Murdoch papers probably helped too. Bigger difference is that Fraser largely kept many of the same policy views he had while in power, and the Liberal party left him behind as they embraced the racist fuckwit vote. Turnbull already showed us that he had no spine while in power.

Wheezle posted:Seriously. I think Morrison more than any other PM in recent memory is entirely there because he believes it's his right to rule. He doesn't believe he has a responsibility to do anything and actively rejects any suggestion otherwise. He just wants to sit on the throne. He wanted to be there to fight for "religious freedom" for his church to do whatever the gently caress they want, and Covid-19 utterly scuttled any patience from the public for spending time on things like that. What a loving waste of a decade of opportunities everything since Abbott was elected has been.

It almost makes you wonder if they intentionally set it up so that he can resign for the reason of the conflict of interest, rather than looking like he's resigning because of the allegations. Almost. Actual truth is much more likely that he's just another one of the born to rule mindset fuckheads.

I still think Morrison will make it to the next election and probably win because hope is a lie, but I'm starting to believe it's at least possible that the Libs dump him this year as part of going to the next election with a looking forward/rebuilding after Covid-19 approach.

freebooter posted:Yeah actually that's probably very likely. People (not incorrectly) attribute their personal COVID lives to the states and when it comes to federal polling it's the same old same old about interest rates and the economy or whatever. Yup. Doesn't help that there was a perception that the Fed's had to be dragged into JobKeeper, have continually criticised states for lockdowns and border closures which people see as having kept their local areas safe, and have completely skipped their responsibility on international arrivals back into Australia. Now the slow vaccine rollout risks blowing up in their faces. They will try and run on the record of how Australia came through Covid-19, but part of our lucky country mentality is that people expect Australia to do ok. Look how little credit Labor got for steering us through the GFC.

The thing with climate change that most bugs me is how people overestimate the gulf of time. We talk about warming levels by 2100 like it's this far off unimaginable time away. I'm probably gonna start having kids in the next year or so. If I have grandkids they will probably be middle aged In 2100.

Every time there is a leak from quarantine millions of Australians immediately fear more lockdowns. There are still Australians overseas struggling to get home. It's perfectly understandable that people want a major first step in the long road back to normal to happen.

We shouldn't be getting vaccines ahead of people in countries where Covid victims are dying in large numbers. However the fact it's taken so long to ramp up local manufacturing is a direct consequence of the policies that have gutted domestic science and manufacturing that this government always pushes when they have power.
