If 100% of the population were vaccinated, then 100% of the hospitalised patients would also be vaccinated, nicht wahr?

Please find another thread for your gratuitous comments.

Wales UK has nothing to with the reality of living in Australia with Covid.

SWL
Nobody is being forced to get vaccinated. Its just that if you don't get vaccinated certain career paths are closed to you. There will still be plenty of openings in the gig economy - whatever that is - busking maybe.

Hot off the press - Vax required for all authorised workers in Victoria from mid month.
New daily case numbers down to 1143.

Have a think before you talk , get a new job? May be some Tradie just ring BHP and get an office job? Be a bit fair that some workers only have ONE job they know and they need that job not some advise get a different job.



Not so sure whether we should just talk so easily about peoples lifes.



You might have been in a lucky life , made your money and now skipper around but not everyone is so lucky and in todays world it is getting harder and harder to find a job , raise a family and we dont even want to talk about paying off your house.



I am for all safety rules but once we inject people we cross a fine line so for your sake i hope that in the month ahead we do not see women giving birth to deformed babies.



May be you should have a think about that and then see what you would tell those women.


Not to be difficult but isn’t the theme in another thread that a bit of hard work gets you to rich status? Maybe this is what gets people working harder to be successful?

Again not trying to be difficult but that is my read on the other thread.

I do agree that it can be a difficult hard choice for some but we are talking about a pandemic where personal choices affect more than the one making the decision

...

ICAC and its actions will be a key part of the answer. The Maguire issue is the pointy end. A new follow-up question arises: given that ICAC has been responsible for the exit of two NSW premiers to date, dare it be responsible for a third?
ICAC has confirmed that it is investigating GB (aka The Armenian):

The Commission is investigating whether, between 2012 and 2018, the Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP engaged in conduct that:

- constituted or involved a breach of public trust by exercising public functions in circumstances where she was in a position of conflict between her public duties and her private interest as a person who was in a personal relationship with the then NSW Member of Parliament, Mr Daryl Maguire, in connection with: grant funding promised and/or awarded to the Australian Clay Target Association Inc in 2016/2017; and grant funding promised and/or awarded to the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga in 2018; and/or

- constituted or involved the partial exercise of any of her official functions, in connection with: grant funding promised and/or awarded to the Australian Clay Target Association Inc in 2016/2017; grant funding promised and/or awarded to the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga in 2018; and/or

constituted or involved the dishonest or partial exercise of any of her official functions and/or a breach of public trust by refusing to exercise her duty pursuant to section 11 of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 to report any matter that she suspected on reasonable grounds concerned or may concern corrupt conduct in relation to the conduct of Mr Maguire; and/or was liable to allow or encourage the occurrence of corrupt conduct by Mr Maguire.

Snap press conference announced in SYD in 15 minutes. Stay tuned. This may be the third NSW premier whose term has been terminated by ICAC.

Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

I guess this why her federal mentors are running scared and resisting a federal ICAC.

A quick question, who or what is UNITY and why are they producing this questionaire, is it religious or political?

Quick answer to question 10 - NO.

Couldn't be bothered fact checking the others since the big one (Q10) is wrong.

Read more if you are bothered enough to get facts rather than posting fiction.

Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

Having heard a little bit of Scotty's wiffle waffle just before he was so rudely interupted by Gladys I reckon an election before Christmas.
He said international borders would be open by end of year - thats got the Pilbara/Bali vote.
Said that we would be able to sing in church - thats got his base and Jen covered.
There was a bit of other feel good populist stuff - I wasn't really paying attention.
He had already pissed off the French - that works on all Australians

Please take this nonsense to some other thread. This thread is mostly rational.

You are worse than those religious zealots that come door knocking - at least I can set the dogs on them.

So be a good chap and just go away.
