mark should tell you to bounce out of bed , put on your running shoes and commence the marathon.

hospitals coped no worries.

mark knows that western australians dont want to do the brutal miles , so he is letting you all have a sleep in.

of course , each day he waits, your immunity drops.

its a non fruitful path but the chode rarely thinks about anything but instant gratification

I have to admit Mark is a bit on the boring side.

All his social media team ever posts on 'his' Twitter account are daily Covid reports almost every day since the start of the pandemic.

I also have to wonder if Mark and his 'team' have shares in Facebook seeing as you need to have a Facebook account to read the information in the FB links they post?

That's a big 'get stuffed' from me, by the way.

On the other side of the country I notice Annastacia's team in Queensland now has daily warm, fuzzy feel good stories about her garden and pets, endless 'thank yous' etc, etc. which are an obvious attempt at deflection from her incompetence with allowing Covid into Queensland when it was Covid free for so long. Just like South Australia and Tasmania have done.

I'm also expecting a flood of 'feel good stories' from Mark's social media team after February 5th when Covid starts spreading though Perth's population (if it isn't already thanks to our backpacker 'friend') and we're expected to wear masks for eternity and have other previously unnecessary restrictions to deal with as well.

A pox on the lot of them.

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has repeatedly criticised the Palaszczuk government’s position and escalated his attack on Monday.

“This is passive aggressive stupidity from the Queensland Premier at her worst. Getting rid of PCRs for tourism testing is absolutely critical so there can be a focus on the clinical needs of patients at risk,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“South Australia has seen the light and someone needs to switch on the lights in the Queensland Premier‘s office.”

He claimed there could “easily be another 100,000 to 150,000 tests purely and simply for people who want to holiday in Queensland” before the end of the year.

Mr Hazzard, who has been urging NSW residents only to get PCR tests if they have coronavirus symptoms, on Sunday accused Ms Palaszczuk of “effectively perverting the purposes of pathology testing”.

His comments follow days of disagreement between the two states as the demand for testing in Sydney and regional NSW continues to exceed capacity.

Yep, that's what it was all about in Queensland when Annastacia decided to let Covid loose there - tourism $$$

Australians caught up in testing bungles speak out, Qld tourism testing sucking 'energy' out of NSW

Frustration and heartbreak as COVID-19 testing delays force some to spend holidays alone

Quote:

Nationwide delays in releasing COVID-19 results have upturned many Australians' holiday plans.

Some people have waited up to six days for test results, while others have been given negative tests clearing them to mix with family and friends, only to then be told they are actually positive.

Quote:

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard has slammed Queensland's requirement for incoming travellers to get tested for COVID-19, saying it is putting unnecessary stress on his state's testing capacity.

Queensland is one of three open states that require tests to enter, and the requirement for travellers to produce a negative PCR test will not be reconsidered until January 1.

"The focus should be only on clinical testing. The energy and capacity of pathology is being sucked out of New South Wales," Mr Hazzard said.

"Over the next four days we could have up to 600,000 tests and a quarter of those will be purely and simply for tourism to Queensland."

I'm off to grab a few bags of popcorn... there's nothing quite as entertaining as watching State Premiers 'battle it out'.

Especially when one is Liberal and the other Labor. Cool

If there's one thing I've learned since the start of the pandemic its that Covid doesn't attend sporting events or infect any of the players and spectators... like the AFL, NRL, cricket, tennis and horse racing (the Melbourne Cup back in November).

Mind you, I'm sure Covid is smart enough (its definitely smart enough to keep outwitting our stupid pollies and big business leaders) not to bother attending what is no doubt one of the most pointless and boring events on the social calendar here in Perth... the Perth Cup which will probably be held in stifling heat as usual - spare a thought for the poor horses.

I'm pretty sure low income families especially won't have the money to spend on a weekly mask supply. More than likely they will keep using the same masks week after week which will no doubt do wonders for their overall health. Not.

Morning, Greg - good to see you've also survived the weather we've had here since Christmas Day.

I've had a running battle with trying to save my front and back gardens from being burnt to a crisp and I'm expecting a big increase in my next water bill.

I haven't moved from the house.

Aircon has been on 24/7.

Was 46 here on Christmas Day.

Front page of today's West Australian has Mark McGowan telling us masks will probably be here to stay after February 5th.

Why? If you're going to make the same stupid mistakes South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania have made then what's the point?

I thought we were supposed to have a Safe Transition Plan for February 5th?

Doesn't seem too safe to me when the first thing I see is:

Quote:

...and WA’s way of life can continue safely with the introduction public health and social measures once COVID-19 enters WA’s community.

Our way of life doesn't include having to wear masks or have any other restrictions except for the past week since that idiot backpacker decided to do a Covid tour of Perth lasting over a week (the last 2 or 3 days were even after he began to feel sick).

And, Marky Mark goes on to say that masks have been highly effective in stopping the spread of Covid in the eastern States. Really? I think its about time you took off those rose coloured glasses and had a good look at what's happening over there.

Well, I still admire Mark to a certain degree for resisting the pressure from Scotty from Marketing and businesses to open up for as long as he has.

I'll be sitting back from the safety of my home after February 5th (as I'm sure many will be doing instead of being out and about spending money) when a lot of these same businesses that pushed for reopening then start complaining they've lost customers and they'll have to close or severely restrict their opening hours. Just like what's been happening in the other States.

I'll have my popcorn standing by ready to enjoy the show.

Oh... and a special congratulations are in order to Queensland today for joining the quadruple digit club.

Hope you're paying attention, Marky Mark.

First we have...

‘Get tested’: WA Premier Mark McGowan’s blunt message to close contacts

Then we have...

Close contacts of French backpacker stifle WA trace efforts by turning off phones

(Subscriber only article as usual but the 'headline' tells the story)

Carl's solution: If they're also backpackers here on visas then fine them, cancel their visas and deport them. Immediately.

If they're citizens or permanent residents of Australia then it should be a big fine and/or jail time.

Time to stop 'pussy footing' around and start making a real example of some of these selfish idiots.

he wont have it currently.

i sent him an email saying
you cant fight city hall and that the best way to beat the chodes in the bureaucracy would be to get the vax, earn millions of dollars, buy a SUV, get a hot girlfriend and then splash muddy water all over the fat public servants who make these rules.

hopefully william will reconsider.

the superior man will face many obstacles

being a little cry baby and a quitter is not the path of the superior man

the superior man will sleep on it, develop a plan and bounce out of bed and implement that plan.

thus , all adversity, all haters, all critics, all complaining family and jealous chode friends are merely used as fuel to inspire action.

haters provide the emotional juice to propel you onto glory.

fat public servant beauraeucrats serve as the fuel on this journey
the heroes path.

Brad Hazzard has a hide to criticise anyone least of all Anna Palaszczuk .

He & Kerry Chant & Gladys Bignose let Covid loose on the Nation ....

they did nothing but let it run rampant in NSW until they were forced to implement border closures & the same restrictions as other states.

Too little too late.

Now they & all the Federal Tory(LNP) politicians want to infect all of QLD with their escaping Covid lepers .....

and see the state slowly shut down business by business(by stealth)..

instead of all at once & short term with previous lockdowns to prevent it running rampant....

the end result will be the same as what you have been complaining about ....

are you too thick to see that?
