10,182 new cases in WA today and 6 more "historical" deaths.

Have we reached the peak yet, Mark McGowan? I thought you told us we'd already reached the peak with 7,000 - 8,000 cases a day a few weeks back?

And, we're still waiting for that "soft landing" you've been telling us about over and over. So far we've hit the runway hard and bounced off several times and we're getting close to having the undercarriage collapse resulting in a total wreck on the next attempt.

Pathetic... we're all so disappointed with you after you finally caved in to big business just like the other Premiers did.

small business carl.

coffee shops, tourism operators, gyms, hairdressers, resturants.

not everyone is a chode on a government benefit

some people had the courage to start a business and we have an obligation to support them

No.

Quite the opposite.

My mother had to sign an elector declaration stating that she filled out the ballot papers in my presence, and I then had to sign as an authorised witness.

Maybe.

Even worse, when my father passed away I called the AEC to let them know and they removed him from the electoral roll without me having to produce any sort of identification or a death certificate. They just took my word for it over the phone.

And, if I hadn't called them my mother would have received his ballot in the mail last week and could have filled it out on his behalf.

In fact, the voting age should probably be lowered to 16.

Another 9,328 cases and fortunately no *historic* deaths today. But, hospital cases are on the increase unfortunately.

Have we reached that "peak" now, Mr. McGowan?

Still not allowing replies, I see. Why not?

And, we're still waiting to see that "soft landing".

We've got another two weeks (at least) of this ahead of us, so I believe, and the medical professionals are urging everyone to keep wearing masks indoors.

I just came back from Victoria Park Central and I noticed that about 30% of people were wearing masks, which is not too bad but it could be better.

I have had a laugh—a Greens corflute “Real Climate Action” when the “green” neoliberals blocked on attempt by Labor to price carbon and sabotaged the attempt by Gillard. Honest corflute would read: Quote: Vote Green for NO action on climate change!
