They all still seem to make it their mission to visit 30 shops in 17 suburbs. Oh and all seem to belong to families that could fill a large conference centre. I'll update that to they should be hiring Introverts from small families only.

They could hire people and offer them enough money so that they work in a FIFO style (hey look there's a hotel they could stay at), minimising contact with anyone outside of the hotel for a month or so at a time.
Well obviously outside the CBD in remote locations away from any towns (whether one per state or one for the whole country) is the smart way to go (but every state hasn't done, despite every outbreak), but if they are going to be stupid enough to base in CBD's then as well as better pay for FIFO type running, staff selection that minimises the extent of an outbreak if one does occur also makes sense. With IDGAF if it's considered anti-big family or anti-extrovert in said hiring practices.

At least Gladys won't kill 800 like Dan.

Where are all the so called experts the media were quoting saying Gladys needs to lockdown immediately or there will be a Victoria style outbreak? Is it 15 days without a new case now?

Interesting article online today that says the Coate inquiry cost 5.7mil and the Andrews Government spent 7.7mil on lawyers for their part of the inquiry.
7.7mil is a lot of taxpayers money when the legal advice was clearly "just say I don't recall" and everything will be sweet.

I don't blame the worker, I blame to government for not setting ground rules for employment and monitoring for compliance.
but unfortunately low expectations are to be expected from our government in WA (both sides of politics).
One of the worse cases was the serial killer Bradley Edwards. Imagine having the serial killers name, DNA, finger prints, photograph, his Telstra work car, facial identity kit drawing and inability to arrest for 20 years.
We also have police involved in gang land shootings, car bombings and stolen gold smelting.
Yet WA is fast becoming a police state under McGowan and we have this level of competence and corruption to look forward to.

To bring back the 'Port and the AFL' part of this thread for a moment, any chance of a normal season free of interruption is surely a pipe dream, as we're seeing with the AFLW now.
Whatever fixture they think they're running with should be scrapped. They've still got the opportunity to do this properly - organise a fixture with rolling hubs, designed to maximise fairness, with quarantine time in built between hubs. These people get paid MILLIONS of dollars a year and all they can come up with is policy on the run and hope for the best type thinking. It's a joke.

my concern is WA didn't learn from the eastern states regarding second jobs
Pay workers more, so they don't need to be an uber driver......especially given they are doing 12 hour shifts already
Don't worry, now Victoria isn't Covid central, I'm sure we'll get all 18 sides having to be there if the VFL gets it's way. To reward the Vics for having to put up with something similar to the non-Vic sides travelling every other year. Oh the suffering they endured!

What???
The people employing can pay as much as they want!
Watch all the ex-coppers and ex-soldiers line up to stay at a hotel one month on, one month off for $200k pro rata.
As is, they are employing people on rates decided by the type of role that usually sits in an empty factory drinking tea all night. Costing millions when it goes wrong.
It isn't as if WA didn't get a warning after what happened in Vic and SA.
Jeez, they just stay at the hotel with the other guests ffs.

Disliked because I want to watch the games live, not because it's a bad idea.
If the AFL community is vaccinated by say June
Wouldn't that mean if hub up and get the first half of the season done they can all be back to "normal" by the second half of the year or am I missing something?

Youre living in a fantasy land.
Sustainable? What could be more sustainable than one single case? Even with the majority of people vaccinated, you'll still get more cases than ONE. What are you gonna do, lock the whole state down every time someone tests positive? There's nothing sustainable about this.
