That would be great and sounds like a common sense approach. It's startling that just about every stance that the Morrison government has initially taken relating to COVID-19 has been found to be wrong, and then resulted in a policy backflip.Shanky’s mate wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:14 am A lot of talk about among the political set regarding trans Tasman travel again over the last couple of days.

October 20th could be quite a night out in Melbourne. I wonder if people will hit town by the millions, or if locals will be more circumspect given everything that has happened?Jimmy Smallsteps wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 3:57 am October 19 is the date my fellow Victorians and I are eagerly awaiting.

If the general public was given a vote for the future direction of the battle against Covid, would it be in favour of controlling the outbreaks or eradication?Carter's Choice wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:26 amThat would be great and sounds like a common sense approach.

I think controlling, because eradication is very hard to do. But controlling 'Australian' style, which means very low numbers of daily infections (5-10 per day nationally).Enzedder wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:42 pmIf the general public was given a vote for the future direction of the battle against Covid, would it be in favour of controlling the outbreaks or eradication?Carter's Choice wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:26 amThat would be great and sounds like a common sense approach.

Are you here in Melbourne fuck knuckle? If not why don't you stfu. Blowhard non local screaming gibberish from the cheap seats.Shanky’s mate wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 10:41 pm
Why would Melbourne behave any differently to the rest of Australia, you twat? They’ll be flat out getting into it and getting on with it and all pretence of social distancing will be out the window within 5 minutes..
Just as it is around the rest of the country.
I don't think Australia's CBD's will ever return to their pre-covid normal. Not for health reasons, but for economic reasons. It is cheaper for employees to work from home, and less time is wasted commuting to and from work.mat the expat wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:20 am So now Gladys is trying to force people back into the CBD to stimulate the economy.
Reading comments, people are not keen - Australia has been very behind the times with regards to working from home, now people hace the chance, they are not going to give it up

Hope so mate! 
If the data is too believed, there is very little covid-19 in Australia. I hope they are correct but I am also worried that there is much more of the virus in the community than we are aware of.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has told people to "hold the line" after television footage aired of people gathering in droves at St Kilda beach ahead of warm weather this weekend.
“Don’t risk everything. What we can hold back now means a truly normal summer. Please - Hold. The. Line”, Professor Sutton tweeted after a large gathering of people surrounded a television reporter, grabbing and kissing his face in breach of COVID-19 restrictions.
It shows Seven News reporter Paul Dowsley attempting to warn Victorians of the current restrictions while a group of up to 70 people gather behind him.
It's St Kilda dickhead. I live there. One of the few Australians in the area. Full of Irish, English and Kiwi scum.Shanky’s mate wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 6:03 amhttps://www.theage.com.au/national/vict ... 561ll.html

There's only 700 odd NZers in St Kilda, and we don't know how many of them were actually raised in Australia, so should be considered Australians.

That's a lot of odd New Zealanders but St Kilda seems to attract odd characters.
