Djokovic’s barrister in particular has was excellent! He put his case very well and fought hard.

Forget politics. Just have a read of this sentence. If you don't think it's ridiculous that the decision was even contemplated, let alone made let alone kept in place in the face of opposition for 5 days, then you've lost your sense of normal. But the public's views are turning

Norway's position is very interesting. Our roadmap in Victoria means even 80% there are enormous restrictions. Melbourne is about to break. Something has to give because I sense people won't cop these massive restrictions into Nov and Dec. Genuinely concerned for my city!
Norway lifts COVID-19 restrictions, despite under 70 per cent of population being fully vaccinated

For the record....when someone says, "as the matter is before the Courts I am unable to comment", that is almost always a lie.
It's just not correct.
The person (or company) is choosing not to comment (usually for PR reasons).
Been annoying me for years!

This is the way it should work. Get advice. Consider advice. And then make a decision. The "health advice" is just one input. I am praying Victoria will move to this model instead of essentially delegating control to a health official who has only one aspect of life to consider
BREAKING: I have confirmed Dr Chant did not endorse this new roadmap. The Chief Health Officer warned the new Premier these changes come with risk, but the decision was ultimately a matter for the government. A shift from Perrottet away from “the health advice.”

The Vic Gov't is absolutely 💯 permitted to comment on this.
What they mean is "we don't want to comment for political reasons because we don't fuel debate".
This is a massive cop out. Bad when this false excuse is used by an individual or company, but appalling from a Gov't.

I've been saying this for 18 months... our leaders (on both sides of the political divide) have too often surrendered decision making to the "health officials" and have hidden behind the phrase "we are following of the health advice"! We need to live with this. That means deaths.

Don't think about the Covid-19 app as tracing you. Your phone (& other devices) already does that. Think of it as tracing the movements of the virus. The worst thing about the virus is it's invisible. The app makes it less so & will help us get back closer to normal life quicker

Do yourself a favour and watch this spray from Judge Gaynor. Her Honor takes no prisoners here (pardon the pun). The two clowns were laughing at the end of the hearing.
This judicial dressing down is a great example of why Courts should be televised more (or even all the time)
"You may think you're heroes within the jail but do you think in 20 years time that's going to matter?" County Court Judge Liz Gaynor has gone off script during sentencing and slammed two inmates who attacked Tony Mokbel in Barwon Prison last year.

We have genuinely lost our way in Australia. Our athletes are vaccinated, were representing their country and are doing 14 days in hotel quarantine, yet SA is demanding they do another 14 days! It is unfair, over the top and simply not necessary. This decision MUST be reversed!
The AOC says the South Australian Government's decision to ignore expert medical advice and the decision of National Cabinet by imposing a 28 day period for returning Australian Olympians poses a significant mental health risk for those athletes.

This is a blight on the beautiful game. I love soccer (like most sports), but they need to stop this sort of carry on.
