Dan Andrews spinal injuries were severe, fractured T7 vertebrae and 5 or 6 broken ribs?..not only is the pain bad but the last thing ya want is stress from outside, a work injury as bad as his would have you off work for maybe 2 or 3 years.
More stress less heal time, if he couldn't do his job before his injury then the chances of performing his duties afterward would be at least 60% less! Not just physical but the mental stress would be debilitating, he should be left alone to heal, wether you like or dislike the man he needs a long time to heal. Cheers Billy. |

And in breaking news it appears they have traced the Delta strain leak from a Victorian quarantine site, not interstate as they had tried to infer, egg on face yet again.

Let's wait for Tickford to come back and tell us that it's impossible for victorian quarantine to make mistakes, because it's gold standard, and how it must be NSW or SA's fault

No cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.969% and active cases 17. The UK had a higher 5,584 cases yesterday and 1 death. 10,231 new cases in the USA yesterday and 181 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 3.75M, the last 50k in 5 days; India recorded the first day under 100k cases since April 5th; Only - Afghanistan (1,582) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Every Australian worker is entitled to compensation and medical treatment, no matter how high up the ladder or how low!
Its a "right" not a privilege, a very hard fought fight for basic rights for every Australian citizen or permanent resident. His injuries would of been covered privately not through Medicare, he is entitled to pay whilst off work and a right to privacy, that's the law, like it or not! Cheers Billy. |

I can accept vanity as a solid reason for Premier Andrews not appearing in the public eye. When my mate was having chemotherapy, he pretty much hid from everyone possible because he didn’t want to be seen as “sick”. It was a big pivot from someone who was on top of video calls and multiple site visits daily. |

Oh it can be traceable alright. But depending on jurisdiction it can be a lot of effort. This one is registered to US, Arizona . Even if the owner claims they didn't publish the actual article, they provided the platform, and have some accountability. Sorry, back to Covid.

Funny thing is they were being serious. |

The legally murky bit is the 'believed to be' but the standards applied to journalists and other public commentators are more rigorous than they might be for you and I, particularly in terms of the requirement to have pursued reasonably comprehensive checking of the facts before publication. We've been threatened a few times with actions for defamation over comments made by members in relation to goods and services but when such threats are made we confirm with the OP that the facts are correct and can be backed by documentary evidence and that is probably more checking than we are required to do.

Good to see Premier Paluszuk getting the Pfizer instead of the povvo vaccine....(she is 51 years old)
Aw shucks it's cause she has to go to the Olympics. Well..we all got somewhere to go....sounds like preferential treatment, or maybe she just wants something thats actually gunna werk.

I got the AZ jab last week, on the same day I ran with scissors and went for a swim straight after a big lunch.
I don't care if I live or die...

I’m starting to think the lockdown will extend at least in some significant form, another fortnight. I’m usually wrong with these predictions. |

Never heard of her so I had to look at pre covid info. Previous career in finance. Won her seat by 15 votes.
Seems normal, out for blood to save themselves... Could save the embarrassment. I don't think Dan is going for re-election* - he's done. If he does embarrass himself by running then the opposition should go all out. But them trying it on now is just fail. *I think that's why he's talking extended leave, to set up his successor, but whoopsie, new outbreak. Whoopsie 2 different outbreaks. Point is Dan already fell on his sword and was probably intending a successful handover of a covid free Vic to the acting prem to ensure a labor win next state election. |
