Sky News commentators are saying that QLDers are enraged about the border closures. This isn't what I am seeing or hearing on the ground. My electorate is an LNP heartland and I'm yet to meet someone who wanted the borders opened earluer. I'd be interested to hear what other QLD based bordies think...

It is the QLD election today. This election was always going to be very close, and the impact of the pandemic is still uncertain. Every major newspaper in the state is owned by News Ltd and they have all waged war on Premier Palaszczuk over the last months and years. And Clive Palmer has spent twice...

I've been watching a fair bit of CNN lately, as I do every 4 years at this time of the US electoral cycle. Just now they had three American experts talking up the 'Victoria State' strategy for dealing with covid-19 and saying that American states need to use this as a model for success.

I was going to say with summer approaching the virus is gone in Victoria. If there are a few cases still about how much the spread depends on how much rain Vic, NSW and Queensland get due to La Nina next two months. More people could be indoors aiding spreading of virus In saying that warmer, more ...

Very sad to see what is happening in Sweden, with 2820 new cases in the past 24 hours.

Enjoy day 1 post-lockdown Melburnians. You should all be extremely proud of what you have achieved in the face of a seemingly insurmountable challenge.

Ok, I can live with these new rules about visits. Sensible. Get on the beers! Can you summarise for those of us outside Victoria? We are (as of midnight tonight) allowed 1 visit per day to a friend/family member. That is 2 adults and their dependants. Which means go for a BBQ or dinner party or pop...

As a neutral this match should be interesting. Penrith have the youth and enthusiasm, Melbourne have the experience. I hope it's a good game. The pre-match entertainment was as underwhelming as expected. I utterly refuse to watch prematch shite. If I want to watch shit bands and awful dancers, I'll...

Feeling very sorry for Victorians today. I think all Australians were hoping that their restrictions would be eased. The Victorian govt was damned either way, if they eased restrictions and the current northern suburbs outbreak worsened, they would be crucified. If they held the line and maintained ...

Is this guy saying that people do not isolate until they get their test result back? Are you watching the same press conference as I am? No-one has said that. Dan has just said we need to get the results so we can let people know they have to isolate. Even here is QLD anyone who is tested must isol...

They've asked for 24-48 hours so that a few thousand tests can be processed related to a significant outbreak. Sounds like caution is sensible in this instance. I feel very sorry for Victorians today but I urge you to stay strong and stay the course. You've managed many months of strict lockdowns an...

Press conference delayed which does not bode well.

The interesting thing about looking across Europe, is there appears to be no pattern of COVID cases relating to how strict or quick lockdown measures were. Which European countries went with strict lockdown early before there was community spread of the virus? From my perspective there were countri...

I clearly stated it’s been a huge discussion point in the media, will this cluster slow the opening. The only reason that would be the case is if the contact tracing is not up to speed. It’s 6 cases, all with known origins. Watching today's press conference I get the feeling that this cluster could...

So 7 cases today but... 6 of those cases come from known outbreaks and if our contact tracing is where it should be then should not be an issue. The 7th case is someone who tested positive before and so is almost certainly someone still shedding virus. So there is absolutely no reason to not consid...

Clarke is a pretty solid footballer (good under the high ball etc) so it's a bit early to be writing him off as merely a power winger.

Will Georgia be added to the 6N along with South Africa in 2021 to make it the 8N? An even number of teams is obviously much better from a scheduling and broadcasting point of view. They'll just cut Italy instead, who can then play the Georgians in a 6 Nations "B". I can't imagine the Italians will...

It's not how 'hard' the lockdown is, it's how early the restrictions are enacted. Many countries went hard, but far too late and the virus was already widely spread throughout the populace.
