Is there even anything stopping someone from VIC going to Sydney right now? MEL is in my 25km radius.

I can read this two ways One reading is that Perottet is doing this and giving the Federal a fait acompli . The other reading this Perottet is saying "'eff you and your dithering'", get out of the way you can deal with the consequences, we're sick of waiting.

Only if the opinion polls are favourable. 1634254249 Massively good news. Even if the other states are intransigent, I can hang out in syndey until I get let back in to Vic.

It’s deliberate but it’s also cowardice in the face of on rushing election. The feds control the international borders, there’s an agreed national plan, so set a date. Unfortunately the bloke from marketing is spending too much time reading polls from marginal electorates and not enough time...

There’s some good options in t the international terminal. However I think the pick of the restaurants in Haneda is Kanda Sarugakucho Tenmasa on level 5 of terminal 2 (ANA domestic). It’s a tempura place, I’ve had the course there and it is pretty good. It scores 3.67 on tabelog, which is...

Uber relies on an continuous stream of low paid immigrants to fill out the ranks. Many have left to fill openings in more secure and better paid occupations. Without a continuous stream of new chumps to work for too little money, the business model doesn't work when everyone else is hurting for...

Vaccine certificate can now be added to the Service Vic app from the Medicare App. Process is a little clunky but it does work and now your vaccinated status shows on the check in green tick page.

Great, now go tell the airlines that aren’t Qantas how is going to work so they can start releasing seats.

No jab no pay for childhood vaccines has been on the books since 2015, many childcare and school settings mandate vaccinations for kids and medical situations mandate vaccines for staff. It's not coercion, its basic health and safety, like mandating hard had, steel toe boots and high viz on a...

I ended up renewing my passport over a year before expiry - got in whilst the system was quiet.

A uncontrolled us doesn’t seem to be a problem in the UK ok, not sick but you can be vaxxed, inflected, asymptomatic and capable of transmitting. So if you are going to be around someone who is vulnerable, knowing you don’t have an infection would be good. People who have been vaccinated are...

So where is this being communicated that this is the way forward. Change is a process you need to lead people through. And why have home tests taken so long to get approved, we should have had them last year? Why doesn’t everyone in NSW/VIC have a box of them already? the behaviours I have seen...

I have to say I’m concerned about the wind back of testing sites with nothing to replace it. The national plan still requires TTIQ, people need to be staying home when they are sick even if they are asymptomatic. I was chatting with my brother in the UK yesterday and they are still using a lot...

There is at least some hope if they show evidence of learning from their colossal failure of last year.

I will be very happy to get locked out of Australia, it will accelerate leaving it for good.

VIC government is also reporting: For the 12+ population it’s 80% single dosed, indicating how fast 12-15 year olds have been added to the program. Which just goes to show that no one needs to worry about moving goalposts, there’s only a couple of days difference in the two numbers and the...

That seems to be the general understanding, but no formal announcement has been made. The closest we’ve had to an announcement is that Australians and PRs will be able to leave and return, what happens next is still not firm. Everything else in the DFAT statement is couched in conditional...

sinovac will be approved by the TGA which is massively good news.

Also should be fine for immigrants, students, backpackers. There was a story this morning about a hospo group paying a bounty, flighta and quarantine costs for any Brit willing to come and work for them.

A bunch of unvaccinated idiots roam through the city, we already know that some were positive. They are unlikely to get tested but continue to interact in the community. Grand final comes just after so they have gatherings but then pass it to people who will go and get tested. After a couple of...
