One thing I'll say about the NSW opposition is that I don't see them playing politics like we've seen the opposition here in Vic

It's not that they've necessarily agreed with everything Gladys has done - particularly around the early go slow with the lockdown/mockdown and some confusion around what's essential etc

But there's support for the lockdown and the need to all be in this together to get through this period



Compare that to this message put out Friday night by the deputy leader of the Lib party in Vic & Shadow Health Minister; clearly done to mock the latest lockdown but spreading the false info about needing to reschedule a mammogram. Breast Screen Vic have advised they are open and will continue screening with safety measures in place

She's been repeatedly corrected but refuses to delete or update the tweet to reflect the correct & accurate info. I get that not everyone's going to support the lockdown, but it's no reason to spread false info and especially false info in regards to medical or health needs

Crizier is just another illustration of the complete lack of talent in the state opposition. When your senior members are O’Brien, Davis, Guy, Tim Smith and Crozier you’d want to hope that the next draft has better young talent. This mob make the Hawks look good.

It is because we entered gate 7 between 7.56-8.13 when the case entered, according to the health website. This info was added at 1215am today. Still no one has contacted me and when I try ringing the number, it won't take calls, even on the extension on which you can report being at a covid site.

I knew we should have left the pub earlier...

Haven't had any contact either, are they supposed to check on you while in isolation?

Starting,?

Just a feeling. An inkling. I don’t want to be unfair.

I beat Covid to the charcoal chicken at Camberwell by about 8 hours on Tuesday night, and by about the same at the Avondale Heights Wollies on Thursday.
It might be smarter and faster but im always one step ahead.

Starting to get the feeling I’m not much of a fan of this COVID fella.

Your not wrong. I'm about to go visit my "Bubble Buddy"
Never thought I'd say those words in my life. Its disgusting

They should but I now doubt it. I could have been infectious and gone to an aged home on Thursday evening for all they know. I accept that they are very busy but there is not much tracing being done in my case.

Pretty sure Sexyland is click and collect only.

Shouldn't have got to this stage as she should never have been approached for the show or let into the country - weak from both 7 & the government to let it get this far, but at least someone from 7 finally took action:

British far-right figure Katie Hopkins has been dumped as a cast member of Seven’s Big Brother VIP and will leave the country after breaching her contract, Guardian Australia can reveal...

...On Sunday home affairs minister, Karen Andrews, ordered an urgent review of whether Hopkins has breached her visa conditions by publicly flouting quarantine rules.

But the review has been superseded by a decision to terminate her contract, Guardian Australia understands.

That's the worst
