Oh, my aunt and I did manage to vote yesterday afternoon after we went back and the polling place was a lot quieter.

Won't say who we voted for except to say that Scott Morrison and the Liberals are now another 2 votes closer to defeat on May 21st.  Smiley


Zaneta for Swan   Smiley

Zaneta was born in Kalgoorlie and grew up in Kambalda – a nickel mining town where her dad was a fitter and mum the kindy cleaner.

When Zaneta was 18, she moved to Perth to study science and engineering at Curtin University and since then, in her 15 year career as an engineer, she has worked in dozens of sites across regional WA and Victoria.

For the last 8 years, Zaneta and her husband have lived in East Victoria Park, where they are now raising their two children, Lincoln and Felicity. They love living there and are committed to their local community.

If Zaneta is elected, she’ll be on your side, fighting passionately for families like hers in Swan, and working tirelessly with you for a strong and fair society.

Hey, Greg.

Did you see the front page of yesterday's West Australian?

https://twitter.com/westaustralian/status/1524006571910512642

Only in that rag of a "news"paper could a politician (only a Labor politician, of course) make front page "news" for supporting a carbon tax to try and reduce pollution and global warming.

Unbelieveable. Just when you think The West Australian has hit 'rock bottom' they grab that shovel and keep on digging.

No, I didn't see that.  Nasty stuff.

I wouldn't use the West Australian to wipe my arse.

16,670 new cases (most for any State for 2 days in a row) and another 6 deaths... oops, sorry... *historical* deaths.

https://twitter.com/MarkMcGowanMP/status/1524570847796547585

The WA Government 'Twitter Intern' was back on the ball again today and made sure no-one could reply.  Roll Eyes

Looks like we've also got more problems with the hospitals.

https://twitter.com/LettersfromTim/status/1524548650827141120

Doesn't surprise me. I was supposed to drive one of our neighbours down to Royal Perth Hospital next Monday at 6am, he told me yesterday that the appointment has now been cancelled.

I hope he's OK because he's in his 60's and has a lot of medical issues and is in and out of hospital a lot.

But, I'm sure Mark's $400 towards our power bills will distract everyone from all the Covid deaths, hospitalisations and hospital problems for a while.

(I'll have to check and see how much car registrations, water, gas and other charges go up in this week's State Budget)

Oh!   Shocked

I took my mother into RPH this morning at 6am (drop-off at the rose garden in Wellington St) for day surgery.

She's still in there, and nobody has called me, so I assume her surgery went ahead.

Funnily enough, I told her on the way in that she was lucky to be having it done today as I thought elective surgery might be stopped soon considering our high case numbers.

déjà vu.

Would be quite hilarious if the consequences were not so tragic with increasing Covid cases and deaths.

Especially when EXACTLY the same thing happened in the other States when they reopened their borders.

Same with those in SA, hospo bayed for the border to open then they got demolished by sars2 and then the shadow lockdown and blamed Marshall. Marshall got voted out for it, despite giving them what they thought they wanted.

Indeed.

So are deaths... and not just from Covid.

Perth woman dies after waiting hours for ambulance with chest pains

Quote:
A Perth family is demanding answers after an 80-year-old grandmother fell victim to Western Australia’s health crisis.

Georgina Wild died from a suspected heart attack while waiting 2½ hours for an ambulance.


Absolutely shocking and disgraceful.

And, it doesn't look like things are going to get better anytime soon.

Hospitalisation warning not peak scaremongering, just facts, as health system shows the strain

Quote:
Hospitalisations rose above 300 yesterday, within a range that the AMA (WA) said should trigger a response from the State Government to reduce the impact on the overstretched health system.

This afternoon, AMA (WA) President Dr Mark Duncan-Smith spoke to the media, addressing the range of problems besetting the health system, as well as the contention from the Premier that there was “scaremongering” by some about the effect of the recent peak, which the Chief Health Officer believes will rise to about 25,000 daily cases.


Quote:
Dr Duncan-Smith reiterated calls for the mask mandate to be reintroduced, and advised the community to mask up indoors, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

“It is now two weeks since the McGowan Government reduced restrictions and lifted the mask mandate, as expected and anticipated at that time. We’re now seeing hospitalisations increase as a direct consequence of that decision.


So, Mark McGowan... was all that talk for the past 2 years about wanting to protect West Australians and not wanting to see anyone die from Covid just BS from you? We've gone from 9 deaths to 187 in less than 3 months.

I (and many others I'm sure) would love to know who is pulling your strings and made you cave in just like the other State premiers did. I can probably guess but I'm sure the truth will come out one day. Hopefully before the next State election.

someone died from a heart attack because so much nonsense is going on with hospital staff spending 1/2 their day concentrating on covid and doing meaningless rat tests and wiping down benches and asking every visitor to fill in forms .

this is a death from heart disease (very common) that would not have occurred if we ignored a mild respiratory virus and concentrated on what matters.

by amping up the fear of covid (something carl likes to do) other important diseases get sidelined and people die.

time to stop testing and get on with whats important (not covid)

I'm sure the families of the
36
Australians who have died in the past 24 hours from just NSW and Victoria would like to hear that.

https://covidlive.com.au/

Sadly, it looks like yesterday's low numbers were (once again) just a temporary drop.

Maybe we will finally see something done about stopping this carnage after the Federal election but I won't be holding my breath.

Ambulance wait times have little to do with covid as only the most severe covid cases require an ambulance.

No, not at all.

She died because the ambulance took 2 and a half hours to get to her.

It was a Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

There were no ambulances available because they were all busy on the usual Saturday night calls - drug overdoses, fights, vehicle accidents, domestic violence, alcohol related injuries, etc.

The hospitals and ambulances were busy dealing with these normal late night/early morning weekend incidents.

It had nothing to do with them treating COVID patients.

A similar thing happened to my father back in 2019, before COVID hit - he was left laying on the bathroom floor for almost 3 hours waiting for an ambulance to attend (on a Saturday evening).

On a side note, my mother had another heart attack on the same day as the 80 year old woman we're discussing, but 12 hours later - at 2.30 Sunday afternoon.

Thankfully, her ambulance arrived within 8 or 9 minutes and she's fine now.

My sincere condolences go out to the family of the poor woman who died though.  Terribly tragic.
