And like everything else in Greece their healthcare system is a basket case.

Yes, you have a lot to be thankful for. Your premier has done an excellent job.

Unfortunately, as I said before, there's only so much pleading to get vaccinated Health authorities can do.

Astypalaia has a lovely new hospital.

2 beds and a doctor and the nearest "big" hospital is Kalymnos. Which is a shithole.

2 Ferries a week to Kalymnos and 2 to Piraeus.

The other states will tip toe over the vaccine threshhold eventually, just way too much bad publicity/misinformation early on to get people off the fence unless they have a good reason to be pro-active and opening borders (domestic or international) isn't that high a priority for a lot of people. 

Hopefully it won't take uncontrolled outbreaks to get them there.

Same in QLD and Tas and SA and the territory as far as I can make out.

Seems that people need to see numbers in hospitals in their state to put a rocket up their arses.

Yeah, bit shitty numbers by a lot of areas. 

My LGA is 97% first dosed and 84% second dosed.

The last lockdown was here in Tasmania, under a Liberal government, which saw zero cases emerging. “What an authoritarian dictatorial waste” you would have said if it was a Labour government.

This. There are 2 big reasons why I think the Fed Govt needs to be turfed out for incompetence.

First, abrogation of responsibility for quarantine. Sure, the States fucked it up, particularly NSW and Victoria, but the Feds let them.

Second, the 'it's not a race' bullshit about obtaining and distributing vaccines. It was a race right from the start. Pretending otherwise was just bullshit.

Mind you I'd turf out the Victorian and NSW Govts in a heartbeat too, and that idiot CMO in Qld who caused people to stop getting Astra shots by mis-stating the risks really needs to go away.

Gutwein here has done a pretty good job but I'm sure in part because they're all shitting bricks about the abysmal state of the Tasmanian hospital system. Not building a new hospital up at Glenorchy some years ago was a really bad decision. Porky Lennon preferred to spend money on race track and other sports infrastructure instead.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't give a flying fuck about what's going on in Tasmania. The smaller the state and the smaller the economy, the less I care. 

Like prisons, hotel quarantine is never going to have a 100% success rate at keeping everyone in. Vic had hotels "secured" by people off the street given a security guard uniform and minimal training. With guards sleeping on the job or shagging hotel guests, it's little wonder the Virus escaped because of incompetence. An accidental escape of the virus is not the same as a deliberate escape by a person. 

The 90% plan is stupid and clearly you Liberal premier should get his arse kicked, like QLD & WA for still having a substandard hospital system 18 months into a pandemic where they have been lucky.

Victoria got preferential treatment during their outbreak early in the year, which is when I pulled my finger out to get AZ. NSW got it when they had their outbreak. Quite frankly they deserved it, because NSW was the only state willing to not hide from Covid.

QLD deserved fuck all support because they not only dragged their feet on vaccinations early on, the Premier & CHO killed AZ as a viable vaccine for QLD.

Scomo is a fucking idiot. He probably could have handled the Sub better and off course any aspects of Covid. I don't understand why he can't even get the Government supporting and encouraging Electric cars as that should not cause much of an issue in a country that does not have a car industry.

He was probably a better choice than Dutton, but I wish JB got the job.

Deaths from Covid in states and Territories with Labor Governments (VIC, QLD, WA, NT, ACT) 944

Deaths from Covid in states and Territories with Liberal Governments (NSW, SA, TAS) 522

The Leftwits conveniently forget that it was the Feds who closed the border very early in the pandemic to limit the inflow of covid. Without that decision, who knows the deaths we would of had. 
 

They love to highlight that quarantine is fed and not state responsibility. They forget that the feds do not have the resources (feet on ground) to run quarantine during a once in a hundred years pandemic, which is why they delegated responsibility. Otherwise the Feds would have to hire private security guards, but look how well that   worked out for Dan.

The Feds set Australian up for the pandemic protecting the bulk of Australians from Covid and kept the economy in excellent shape. Scomo and his team should be applauded for that, even though other mistakes were done since then.

Labor’s home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally met with the head of one of China’s peak propaganda groups in Australia who has donated thousands of dollars to the Labor Party.

Senator Keneally, who is running in the western Sydney electorate of Fowler at the next election, said she did not know the individual’s links to a United Front-backed group before meeting him but did not regret the encounter.

Keneally has received briefings from intelligence agencies on the risk of meeting United Front groups as part of her role on the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security.

 

One of the individuals Senator Keneally met was Hung Ly, who is also president of the Australian Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China (ACPPRC), which has previously been described as the peak United Front group in Australia.

The United Front Work Department is the Chinese Communist Party’s organisational effort to use the diaspora of citizens abroad to turn opinion and policy in Beijing’s favour.

seen this? though its a drift from Corona

LB and DK must be delighted that the LibNats have made history.

Who cares about silly little things like brown paper bags full of cash from unknown donors to pay for lawyers to silence journalists that expose historical rape allegations?

How's that ALP branch stacking investigation in Victoria coming along? You've been very quiet about that.

WRT Porter, yep, dodgy as hell getting money like that. No support from me. It's actually a pretty good way to wash money from donors who don't want to be identified.

Mind you I do NOT think the ABC should have funded the journalists' lawyers either UNLESS the remarks/tweets were made from an official ABC account and had gone through editorial approval. Otherwise, so sad, too bad, you said it, you own it and you get to pay to defend it.

Porter must, as ex AG, have a lot of secrets for the gov to be protecting him like this. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that blind trust has some donor pretty close to the Gov.

Branch stacking? they all do it, unfortunately it's always been a blot on the ALP.

Well, technically Dan was just hiring people his union mates told him to use. So is it still Dans fault?

You can add Mike Baird’s sale of the Port of Newcastle to the list.

Both sides have sold/ leased assets to China.  Just ask Andrews why he signed the chinese Belt and Road deal?

You are right.

There's an Australian politics thread over in PA.

But like all threads in SA, we drift in the lulls.

How the fuck did he get into fortress QLD

An unvaccinated Uber driver, aged in his 30s, who was infectious with COVID-19 on the Gold Coast in Queensland for up to 10 days is so sick that health authorities are having difficulties speaking with him and finding out where he has been.

Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said it was believed the man, who lives by himself in a resort apartment complex in Broadbeach, was in Melbourne on October 10 before travelling to Queensland.

Authorities will look at how the man was able to enter the state

[LB 15 6,500]

Who knows, maybe he once played rugby league. Anna and her band of fuckwits are now in complete panic mode. The other states have forced the stupid cunt into having to make a plan, but that has all gone to shit thanks to her and her CHO's anti vax messaging. No way will we reach 80% by December 17 and now will will probably be locked in our homes for Xmas. I feel sorry for Anna, fat, stupid, ugly and hated, is no way to go through life...

Gold Coast alert.

There's been an positive Uber driver around Broadbeach for the last ten days.

He's so ill in hospital that he can't give contact tracers much information about where he's been and who he's been in contact with.

NSW outbreak started with a Limo driver.

Get tested if you've used Uber around the Gold Coast. Get tested anyway.
