Not in Victoria it wasn't.

Well aren't you lucky it all worked out for you. For others, it's not that simple. Especially with the ridiculously long time between AZ shots. I had my first in the first week they were available to hospital workers (late march). This month, I've had to cancel three - no, four - different...

Instead of staying in Brisbane overnight, could you drive out of the hotspot zone and stay overnight there? I'm not 100% up on what areas Victoria considers hotspots in QLD though, so this might not work.

I don't see that. During the long Melbourne lockdown last year, furniture shops were closed except for click and collect etc. I was at the shops in Bundaberg yesterday and coming from Melbourne, it was a little shocking. No masks, no social distancing as far as I could see. Couldn't find check...

There was a bit of an uproar last year about Peta Credlin and then Leigh Sales at the Vic pressers and other journos came out in their defence; the basic justification for this kind of thing is if you know there's more to the story, you're trying to force them into actually telling the truth...

Do you think it's QLD I'm concerned about? Because you couldn't be more wrong.

Well, at the time, where else they going to have caught it from? NSW's refusal to stomp on this at the start with a LOCKDOWN has spread it all over the f-ing country. All due to some stupid political ideology.

Hand sani is only useful if it is actually USED.

So many Victorians I know are cancelling their trips to Sydney due to the outbreak there ATM.

So sick of hearing this kind of thing from smug Sydneysiders. You have no appreciation of what Melburnians went through last year.

What you are talking about is far and away better than what I am currently living with in HQ! There's no room service at all, unless you want a chocolate bar or crisps. There's no microwave, or freezer, or toaster. If I had those things I could have self-catered with the help of deliveries. And...

I'd argue those places are too remote. Needs to be close to Perth. Or at least, Gerro or Bunbury. Decent sized hospitals.

But the thing is there aren't "a large number" of sick covid patients. Currently Australia has a 3% death date. Assuming today's number of 119 active cases, that's 5 deaths (maybe) and I'd guess maybe 3 times that number end up in hospital, that's 15 or so people might be in hospital right now...

As someone who *is* moving to QLD, and *is* doing the right thing by going into hotel quarantine, I can assure you that I investigated all options and there were two: 1. Fly into QLD and do hotel quarantine 2. Fly into SYD and self-isolate there. The difference with this being you are allowed...

Hotel quarantine in BNE. I try at all times to only see the river.

I am currently in HQ in QLD. I applied for an entry permit into QLD and duly flew in. They offer quarantine in BNE or CNS. There were also a few people on the plane with me who travelled to my hotel to stay overnight before taking onward flights overseas. This case is particularly infuriating...

Currently in HQ and apart from gaining weight at a rapid pace, no apparent mental health issues. :)

Really, if you'd been kicked as much as Victoria has in the last year and treated like lepers because of things that are out of your control, you'd be defensive too. We are treated as if it's somehow "our fault" when for 99.99% of us the only thing we've done wrong is choose to live in Vic...

This is very similar to what I got yesterday MEL-BNE - flight left at 1420, so I guess I should just be happy with getting what was touted as "hot meal" because the stress of getting ready to leave to go into quarantine up here made me nauseous and meant I only had a few mouthfuls of food all...

Fairy Wrens :) And lucky you having them in your yard!
