Could be worse we could all be living in a European capital city atm. Seems to me the most effective way of controlling outbreaks would be the night time curfews. Less drunken fools and antisocial behaviour, out of control parties, car hoon gatherings, robberies, daytime activities are something a little more manageable I guess.

I and my wife still cannot see any family members due to them all living in regional Victoria boundaries As for the media to blame I won't have any of that, they report it you then digest the news and make up your own mind from whatever source, if any media uncovers what some governments try to hide, interestingly how some of state cabinet ministers were quoted relying on the media for information....what a fn joke.

I have faith in Vic. Businesses and the economy can and will be rebuilt over time. Lives lost can't. I cannot imagine what it would have been like not to have been able to attend a family member's funeral, which was what was happening when it was out of control. We cannot go through that again. There will not be a 3rd lock down. This is the last chance to get it right. Honestly I do feel for people in your position. But my cousin hasn't seen his first born child since January because the federal gov won't let him leave the country. Where is the hourly update on these scenarios?

I really don't believe 'Dan the Man" will lift the so called "Ring of Steel" around Melbourne until late November myself but I've been wrong before. Otherwise NSW would have totally lifted restrictions for country Victorians.

I didn't think Shepp was in the bubble its more than 70km from the border but I was referring to Sydney itself.

I think they use 'as the crows fly' as the measurement. I was surprised too, but I applied for a permit and it showed us as living in the bubble and as far north as past Holbrook

Well the figures show us that we have reached the threshold for us Melbournians to be released from lockdown restrictions and it is about time our Premier Dan do the right by us and let us move forward.
He and the government has had time to learn from their mistakes and get their act together for the sake of Victoria. Cheers. |

So… November 8th is the present carrot for Melbournians. I hope it is upheld.

I have only heard a little bit of what he said, but it appears to have opened things up a bit

Ah yes, The WHO. Is that the same organisation that in January stated "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV)"??
![]() Funny isn't it. The same people that blamed the WHO earlier in the year, now saying we should be listening to the WHO! ![]() |

But there is no reprieve from the arm chair snipers. Not even for the first 5 minutes. Straight into slagging off the contact tracers, and allowing shops to use pen and paper registration system. One pointed at NSW's gold standard of automation....blatant lie as a lot of shops in NSW still use pen and paper. Anyhow, no use being upset at a TV screen, time to enjoy the sun shine. |

Tickford I never mentioned WHO in any of my earlier posts but if you think they are not reputable then who is?
Good on the right wing media as they may have shamed Danny boy in easing of restrictions. Last edited by Itsme; 26-10-2020 at 06:29 PM. |

![]() Gladys, on the surface it doesnt look good. She'll get pushed out if someone else is gunning for her job, otherwise it'll be a free pass. Where are the investigative journalists digging into the issue? Imagine if the Vic gov had shredded paperwork and permanently deleted emails ![]()

![]() So, in ScoMo & Co's eyes Gladys can do no wrong (for obvious reasons). Haven't you noticed that other Liberal led States are actually doing better than NSW but ScoMo & Co NEVER EVER mention them, let alone touting them as 'Gold Standard' It is all just a farce If Barry O'Farrell was gracious enough to step aside over a bottle of wine, Gladys should be well and truly gone

This is the same Government who criticised its predecessor for 'uncontrollable debt' but have actually nearly tripled the debt since they have been in power. Ask them where they got the money to prop up up the JobKeep and JobSeeker, China would a word that could be thrown in the mix ![]()
