Interesting report on the ABC. I wonder what they intended to do in W.A.. It would also be interesting to know where they indtended to abandone their transport. I am sure that there are plenty of stops when they could have jumped off.

And “of no fixed address”?

Edit: So much for the threat of fines/gaol. Perhaps they were just heading to Adelaide (Party Central):

Magpie fans off to the game? ;)

Or maybe being possibly homeless, they do it all the time and it was just this time due to checking that someone noticed.

And continuing the border checking theme.

This lady, presumably from NSW and found in SA had to be stopped with road spikes!

 
I don't 'hate' people who go to the footy. I'd rather they went and didn't watch on the TV. Makes for a more enjoyable, quieter, evening when they go.

I'm still lobbying for a separate sports channel like the racing channel so I can see more than 4 minutes of real news in a row without some reference to a misbehaving footballer or sacked coach.
 
More capacity was added and is still being added.

Surge capacity such as the Peter MacCallum was built and remains unused, but is there if required. There was also a similar hospital refurbished in Geelong which is also empty and waiting if required. At present it makes more sense to use the ICU in the main hospitals. But there is extra unused capacity if needed..

A makeshift intensive care unit built at the former Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in East Melbourne remains empty despite a huge surge in coronavirus infections across Melbourne.

The $30 million refurbishment, which includes 84 beds over eight floors, was completed on May 20 after builders worked around the clock as part of the Andrews government's "accelerated program" to combat COVID-19.




Part of the original expansion planned back when internationally Covid 19 was predicted to require vast numbers of ICU beds was a 750 bed facility at Jeff's Shed. Such facilities built in the UK (Nightingale Hospitals) and USA (built by US Cops of Engineers) were in the main largely unused and have mainly been removed.
A proposal for a 750-bed intensive care unit at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre was shelved in May, after construction group Lendlease was engaged to build the makeshift facility

If required that contact could be re-activated. But capacity on that scale seems unlikely even with the current spike.

seems odd that they had plans to turn MCEC into a ICU facility. The US cities that had the Army Corps of Engineers turn convention centres into medical facilities were for non covid patients in order to get them out of hospitals and more ICU capacity into hospitals. The makeshift covid facilities in the US were converted from hotels, since it was more effective to turn hotel rooms into single patient isolation rooms then to get the needed air circulation measures into large expo halls.

Gladys on 7.30 on ABC tonight gave a very robust account on her government’s actions over the Crossroads cluster and came out very firmly on the side of the suppression policy. She has no intention of closing NSW down again. I am sure Pushka will be pleased.

Well SA have shut them out anyway...

When is the high court thing happening again?

Cases linked to Planet Fitness grows

Sydney pub cluster grows to 30 community transmission as more people from the gym nearby contract the virus.

Two more men in their 20s were confirmed as having the virus after they came forward for testing when it was revealed a confirmed case of the Crossroads Hotel outbreak visited the same gym as them.

Anyone who attended the Planet Fitness Gym at Casula from July 4 to 10 to immediately self-isolate and get tested.
