I would not say that about the Queensland Opposition.

Opposition......what Opposition ? 😂😂😂😂
They’re too busy shooting themselves in the foot in the lead up to another election.

I think our leader has done a good job.  Sick and tired of the same old ranting bullShit from whoever is in opposition..  The amount of scandals from council to federal govt just proves that the vast majority are only in it for themselves..

And during this pandemic, even the opposition in each state has generally kept their mouths shut, which points to a united front from all sides of politics and an admission that they probably couldn't do better, or they can't see a need to "bash" whoever is in power.

When this is all over, don't worry, it'll be on for young and old....the blame game for political points ....but they all realise this isn't the time.
The level of control shown by all sides of politics during this crisis has been very impressive.
I think they are all acutely aware that the public will not tolerate any sniff of cheap point scoring at this moment in time.

But even with the unified effort of avoiding public mud slinging, the typical deflection of blame and shirking of responsibility is still as strong as ever... ::)

-- Victoria has recorded 19 coronavirus-related deaths for the second consecutive day and 331 new cases. There are hopes the state's coronavirus case numbers are finally stabilising after a month of rapid escalation, but Victorians have been warned to brace for more deaths.

-- Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton are among the first witnesses listed to appear before a public accounts and estimates committee today, where they will be quizzed over the government's coronavirus response.

-- NSW has recorded 22 new cases of COVID-19, with eight linked to a growing school cluster. Tangara School for Girls, at Cherrybrook in Sydney's north-west, is emerging as a coronavirus hotspot

-- The aged care royal commission is set to hear evidence revealing mistakes by the Health Department and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission as coronavirus cases surged in nursing homes.

-- Nearly 20 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed worldwide, with more than 732,000 deaths, according to the tally by Johns Hopkins University. More than 12.1 million people have recovered from the virus.




Edit: This isnt good news....


Northern Territory may not reopen to Melbourne and Sydney for 18 months
By Mary Ward

The Northern Territory's tourism ads might still be playing on your TV, but Chief Minister Michael Gunner has said people from large cities with coronavirus outbreaks such as Melbourne and Sydney may not be able to visit for 18 months.

Speaking on ABC television about his territory's border controls, which forces permitted arrivals from "hotspot areas" to complete 14 days of paid quarantine before being allowed to visit, Mr Gunner said his government was "much more likely to add spots than remove them".

"We have got an indefinite ban on Victoria, and Sydney keeps bubbling away to a point to I can't give you a date where that would ever lift," he said.

I was lucky enough to get to listen to a Epidemiologist give a presentation about COVID and this is a snippet

I always thought COVID was a respiratory disease which is wrong. It’s actually a Vascular disease which courses problems with your blood vessels and most common is the blood vessels in your lungs which is why patients have trouble breathing.

A recent study of Australians who have had COVID - 3 months after being given the all clear  80% people who were hospitalized and 10% who weren't hospitalized are still experiencing symptoms of fatigue, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and Brain fog. They predict for some, these symptoms may be permanent.

When they do find a Vaccine, it might take years for the drug companies to make enough for the whole world to use.

I have a feeling we will continue to feel the flow on effect of this for many years even if they do find a Vaccine.
