And now the Queensland Chief Health Officer comes out stating that if you are bring money to Queensland she will find exemptions to get you into the State, otherwise you can stay out of Queensland or you can cover the full expense of seeing your dying father, some $20k.   

Not quite sure what finances you bring to the State has to do with Health but there you go.   

'We need every single dollar in our state'
By Rebeka Powell15:32
Dr Young has defended the decision to grant exemptions to sport players, athletes and entertainers because of the economic benefits.
"Anyone can come into Queensland who has got a reason to come in that meets one of our requirements. So, anyone can come to Queensland if they wish to see a dying relative or, indeed, a dying close friend," she said.
"Then the next part of that exemption is what they need to do when they come and that is the same.
"I have given class exemptions to people in the sporting industry for a whole range of codes because it is important that we start that work, but they all go into quarantine.
"I have given exemptions for people in entertainment and film because that is bringing a lot of money into this state and, can I say, we need every single dollar in our state."

Guarantee testing rates increase dramatically as it’s non evasive which is a bonus unlike the swab up your nose trying to feel your brain and instant results.

Yep, no where near as invasive or uncomfortable as some people seem to think. All over and done in a few seconds.

Then I wish your people had trained my people, they really went to town on me and my wife. Up your schnoz to scrape you brain and then right into the back of the gullet till you gagged, yet when the daughter was done they were gentle as, little rub in the nose and a wipe in the mouth?

Maybe you got the kiddies version  >:D

My neighbor is an ER Doctor we were talking about how some people get a blood nose because the swab has gone up so far and others can’t even feel it.

He said unless the swab goes to the very back of the nose where the juicy wet mucus is, then your at a high risk of getting a false reading.  As he said better to be uncomfortable once then have to return to do it again.

Yep, I’ve had 2 tests and they certainly went down looking for my cranial fluid, and had fun to see how load I would gag.
The first test the nurse asked which nostril I wanted the swab from, I chose left as the right is a bit  bend after breaking the nose back in the footy days. The second time, before I could say anything she was down the right side of the snoz and hurt like hell

Its surprizing that someone hasnt put  Rule 303 into practice  or some other opposition this sort of enforcement . . What with all the heightened domestic viorlence, anxiety, depression and a zillion other disorders and substance use, that all this lockdown / china virus bombardment is causing ..
Just lucky Aussies are pretty laid back  and not too excitable .

I don't see why, she refused to produce her driver's license on request and refused to give her name and address.
That is instant arrest Everytime.
Then refused to get out of her car.
Silly woman.

In the court of public opinion the use of force was disproportionate to the offence committed. If the officer can't manage/keep his cool in this situation what hope does he have with a serious offender. It also perpetuates Dan's police state optics. Not a good look for the rest of the force who are doing a great job under the circumstances.

I'd also like a legal view on whether you need to present your driver's license and or name/address when requested. I didn't think you had to.

Yes you do.
It is an offence to refuse, hence the power of arrest until identify is established.
The use of force appeared appropriate to the resistance.
The copper was loud, but had to be, to be heard above her.
But agree, not a good look, but policing never is when you only see a small percentage of what really went on.

The cops do a pretty good job of keeping their cool in.... shall we say.... testing times.

The retards who want to go down the "I don't have to tell you" street, should be prepared for what follows.

Its a wonder a cop hasn't shot some imbecile yet.
