Health Minister on Sunrise this morning said heâs happy with todayâs numbers released at 11am.
Thatâs good. Apparently there were a list of 80 locations added to isolating places overnight and a further 60 that require people to monitor symptoms so it will be interesting to see what translates to âhappy with case numbersâ.
Federal government âplaying politicsâ⌠Victoria government requesting help from ADF to man their borders and told itâs a state responsibility. Thought Scomo said from the outset âweâre all in this togetherâ?
Are they helping anyone though? Itâs clear the federal government has never supported the border closures so if they did assist with this then it would only encourage the closures. They have assisted with lockdowns in every state.
Remember that locations listed are super cautious. The monitor symptoms are generally the locations of very casual contacts who very unlikely have the virus either.
Based on the comments on todays numbers the NSW Government could seemingly be getting on top of this one which is a relief. If only it wasnât so close to Christmas as you really need a decent period of low case numbers to be confident of that, so it will be interesting to see what that looks like from a rules persepctive even if things are looking better by then.
They are still assisting with Hotel Quarantine and did assist with the âring of steelâ around metro Melbourne previously. Also assisted NSW implement their border closure so it does look to have become political from the federal government.

To add to the debate about the fireworks etc currently being had here in Sydney: I think the New Years events should be cancelled regardless of the numbers today or at that time. Christmas is way more important. New Years is not that significant and can be easily cancelled. People can get over it. It is not an essential âfamilyâ event.

All the live shots of the Qld M1 borders Iâve seen on Sunrise this morning have shown that things are moving very well. A small line up between 6-7am but moving through quickly, and even lighter just before 9am.
Obviously afternoon peak times will be busy.
I donât understand why the Premier or Health Minister go on breakfast television or radio and âteaseâ what the latest numbers are but wonât reveal them until the press conference at 11am. Why do they have to make the press conference like a major event every day?
Just put out a press release in the morning with the stats and then hold the conference at 11am for more details and questions.

Look at that testing number. Outstanding. People clearly wanting to get on top of this out of fear of more restrictions. Good to seee.
The 1 case under investigation is a health care worker who helped transport an infected international arrival family. The genome sequencing will hopefully link that.

57 cars caught trying to cross illegally and that was at 10am.
Are people really that stupid? Do they live in some sort of delusional bubble and not realize theyâre breaking the law. Stupid morons.

The idiot reporter from seven Robert Ovadia asked Gladys about GST revenue carve up. Is this guy right? Like there are far more important things to ask than that shit.
I was interviewed about 12 years ago by Ovadia. He was an arrogant twat then and clearly heâs not all that bright now asking nonsense questions.

He still sounds and reports like one if his recent reports are anything to go by.
