Darwin now in a 48-hour lockdown.

30 new cases for NSW.

So, did the Gold Standard State get this wrong? Should they have taken a similar approach to Vic and gone into lockdown earlier? Why the reluctance? Are party line politics behind this? If so is this a enough reason to not go into lockown (I ask this in the context of managing covid, I'm not interested in a political debate as it's against the site rules).

Its gone to Perth now. The proportionate response has managed to proportion the burden across the country. Who seriously didn't see this coming from a mile away. Said right from the start, don't gamble, house always wins.

The noticeable increase in number of yellow plates on this side of melb is a little worrying.

I wonder if Vic will hold off on further planned easing for next week........which would be announced by none other than the returning premier. Stay safe.

To pay the GSS CTs their due, they have linked every case so far except Eddie Munster Zeke at the Campbeltown daycare centre. Problem is that the Delta zekes are 3 days ahead of them, so they had to lock it down to catch up.

Honestly WTF is it with the run on the bog roll every time? I get if you're locked down you will be at home more but how much do people actually **** they have to stock up this much? Must be because it is on company time

Nah....

Working from home, trying to maximise their deductions before the end of FY.

I'm sure the ATO doesn't have a specific ruling on how much one would use to work out their claim

Human psychology. If you can figure it out then you can make a motza. I think it started when we had the first lock down, and one of the ministers said something along the lines of "there is no need to go panic buy essentials, such as toilet rolls etc etc"..so guess what everyone did? At the time I think some overseas countries were reporting shortage of toilet rolls, so it may have been why the minister used it as an example. If in doubt, always blame overseas.
