SCANAS 474 #426 Posted October 15 Pretty wild time to be alive! State of Emergency’s in place. AFL pushing Qld gov to have full stadium of 45,000 at grand final. Tasmania says don’t go walk around outdoors in your neighbour hood (trick or treating). WHO backflip on lockdowns. Victoria passes “unprecedented and excessive” COVID compliance law. West Australian CHO says border closure is against his advice. All in the last week & somehow they are going to run a yacht race where the two major contributing states are at this stage not allowed to enter the state in which the race finishes in.

dbo 0 #438 Posted October 16 The race won't proceed unless there is a major change in thinking by the Tasmanian Gov't about how they are managing the apparent rampant COVID risk on the mainland. Common sense would suggest you remove all the State borders now the virus is either none existent or suppressed in almost all States (even Vic seems to be now under control), but we all know common sense aint that common in most politicians unfortunately.
