And hey! I'm not smugglin' any of you Vics over the border! Build the wall!

(Seriously, big fines if Vics are caught sneaking into Qld.)
 
If the more affluent in our community (ie those on the Ruby Princess and those returning from overseas) had been treated as strictly as the poor people in Melbourne’s high rise public housing blocks are now being treated than we would not have any Covid-19 now at all. 500 police surrounding 3000 people whereas the passengers of the Ruby Princess were allowed to self isolate at home which many of them did poorly.

I can't believe Eden-Monaro was so close. How are there still so many LNP voters out there, after all that has happened, especially in that electorate?

It's a got a lot of country in the electorate which is largely offset by Queenbeyan which makes to the point where it's been a bellweather riding for the much of it's time.

However it also had an boundary change after the last election and Labor's Mike Kelly had a lot personnel support.

Anthony Green went into things in detail last Friday.

Yes those people in the housing towers are being treated like 2nd or 3rd class citizens... But yeah the cruise ship passengers no problem let them walk off the ship and not watch them we can trust them.
 
Especially as about 10,000 people In Melbourne have refused to be tested but it looks like the people in the towers will not not have a choice.

Can't they fine them if they refuse to be tested. People change their mind when the hip pocket is touched. But no it's OK to refuse testing because reasons.
 
^ I'm basically doing that also. It's kinder scary. Some of the lockdown suburbs are about 15 kilometres away from where I live. I'm gonna head out in a hour or so to buy some lunch locally and then back home and relax.
 
People got lazy. I keep up my personal hygiene and limit social gathering. I live in an area with low numbers, when compared to other areas of Melbourne. I do wonder what things will be like over the next six weeks. more time to binge watch TV shows and make art.
