You two whingers in chief would be the first to complain if "Dictator Dan" had canceled the Australian Open.

Yep, if the Australian Open was cancelled they'd have both complained about cancel culture and tearfully lamented the impact on jobs and the economy. The reality is they'll complain whatever Dan Amdrews does because that's what the News Ltd media do, and both Clogs and Ella Fan get 100% of their information and opinions from News Ltd.

Yep, shiiiiiiiieeeet can you imagine how insufferable Clogs would've been...

It also seems lost on them the clear logistical differences between the land border closures, and the quarantining of Aus Open chartered flight arrivals that were organised months in advance.

Exactly. Overseas returnees are managed in Hotel Quarantine and there is zero/very little spread.

Yup, which is great. 2 years down the line without a vaccine I’m sure the tournament just wouldn’t happen in Australia though. Good to have a safe haven though for tennis to earn a few bob in the short term though.

Yes hotel quarantine has proven to be a most effective strategy at ensuring there is zero spread of Covid in Australia. Lets import as much as we can from hotspots overseas just so that people can hit a furry green ball over a net. It is fvcking ridiculous to even begin to try and justify this decision. If you do try justify it you are an idiot. FACT!

So there are five positive cases in HQ in Melbourne who are associated with the Aust Open. Sky News this morning referred to it as Dan Andrews's 'Tennis Crisis'. Yesterday there were 6 locally acquired cases in NSW's Beraal cluster and Sky News repeatedly referred to NSW as the Gold Standard. Fair and balanced.

Shirley Dan gets extra marks for shooting himself in the foot.

More broadly the reaction to covid by the tennis stars indicates just how different the mindset is elsewhere in the world - especially Europe & USA. I don't think we understand a world without border closures, quarantine and a focus on containment towards elimination. A number of our friends going on summer holidays overseas from the UK is one of the hardest things for me to actually understand. Another example of shooting in the foot.

Shooting himself in the foot for faciliting a globally important event that pumps tens of millions of dollars into his state's economy.

Dan Andrews can't win with some people. He closes everything down, and he gets attacked for not thinking about jobs. He promotes jobs, and he gets attacked for not closing everything down.

Also, I apologise there are only four current cases linked to the Aust Open, all in HQ.

Shooting himself in the foot because he's shut thousands of Victorians out of their state - but hosting a global sporting event and allowing individuals to enter the country from high risk locations. If you're saying that there is more money for Vic for hosting the tennis than from domestic border activity fine - i've no idea of the relative $$ - and it that is what is important to Dan then so be it. It's consistent with the lack of oversight on the use of security guards.

Maybe with that capacity Victoria could have supported three flights of Australians stuck overseas..

Are you suggesting that hotel quarantine is not the most effective strategy, and that hundreds of Australians have died as a result of covid escaping hotel quarantine?

Where else in Australia has covid escaped hotel quarantine? We know the clusterfvck that is Melbourne, but I doubt it has escaped in Adelaide? Or Sydney? Or Brisbane even?

But yeh, it is so effective so lets import more of it. If this thing escapes again and millions of Melburnians are forced into lockdowns and shut their businesses all for a bit of ball hitting, I and millions of others will be filthy. It is not worth the risk.

Returning Australians is a federal issue.
