100% wrong. Worksafe prosecuted the Dept Health WITHOUT the QR information it had sought to access, as it had enough evidence to lay over 50 charges, so the case did not proceed.

that’s nice. He kind of said what I said.
Governments are always claiming in absolutes when what they really mean is “we have put together something that we are advised will likely work in this way”. That is all governments. I don’t know whether to blame contemporary governments or media for the desire to reduce every statement to a promise or a three word slogan but that is the world we live in today

Let’s not lose sight of why the government fought to suppress release of the data to Worksafe - to obstruct the WorkSafe prosecution. But WorkSafe had enough evidence to prosecute without the QR info

They've arrived after a quick debrief. "If you have nothing to hide..............".
Absolute morons!
These cheerleaders are what's wrong with our state. That and an incompetent opposition.
I reckon some Labor nuffies on bigfooty is one of the last things wrong with the state
I'd be more concerned with 10% of the population being susceptible to anti-science, neo-nazis and grifters

Didn't say cheerleaders only associated with this site did I? Cheerleader nuffies from either side are 100% what's wrong with this state. Embarrassingly as bad as each other.

Are you criticising the revelation being made public or the source for exposing it given the suppression order?
Why zealot?
Details of months-long battle over Victorian contact tracing data made public
The details of a protracted legal battle between the Victorian health department and workplace safety watchdog over citizens' personal contact tracing information are made public after a failed government bid to suppress the proceedings.
www.abc.net.au
Over a months-long dispute, WorkSafe continued to request the documents, stating there could be criminal penalties for failing to comply and rejecting the department's assertion that they be protected under a public interest immunity.
The back-and-forth between the agencies and their lawyers also included a WorkSafe investigator issuing directions in person at the department's offices.
The notices to produce the contact tracing information were withdrawn in September, when WorkSafe charged the department with 58 breaches of the Occupational Health and Safety Act in the hotel quarantine system.
The department's failure to produce the documents was set to go to trial in mid-October, but the court date was replaced with a WorkSafe application for a suppression order covering the matter to be lifted and for a summary judgment from the court.
In his analysis, Supreme Court Justice Andrew Keogh said "there cannot be an absolute protection of contact tracing information on public interest immunity grounds which renders it immune from disclosure, irrespective of the precise information concerned, and when, in what circumstances, and for what purpose disclosure of the information is sought".
He did not make a ruling on whether or not the information was subject to public interest immunity.

At least we know why WorkSafe has not acted on hotel quarantine investigation.
The DPP Ms Judd is finding herself with WorkSafe not meeting the requirements of its Act and effectively stymied by this issue.

to be fair, the TGA only recently approved them for general use, and global demand is off its nut
good investment..

That 11000 number is only those that have gotten tested too, gotta remember Health Hazzard told people not to get tested and there's huge delays and people getting turned away.... complete shit show.

Yeah not really viable anymore you would think now that people have had a taste of movement. However if I was McGowan I’d be dropping a WA sized dome right over the top of his state.
The ideal strain to circulate is the one that puts zero people in hospital.
Our main problems at present, are created by us.

Meanwhile, QLD has dropped a Covid testing rule for interstate arrivals after coming under pressure for its strict regimen. Interstate travellers to Queensland will only need a negative rapid antigen test from January 1.

South Australia had required visitors from NSW, Victoria and the ACT to return a negative PCR test but the state changed its rules on December 26 to accept rapid antigen test results. Common sense is prevailing.

Do you have to line up for a RAT or where do you get them?
chemist should have them. Pretty sure some coles are selling them too.

LNP media sees VIC smashing covid record and NSW having a mere jump
Even his popularity is starting to wane talking to family members over the weekend, i think he will stick to his opening date now, regardless of what happens from here on in.
