Peasants out in Dandenong have hit the streets protesting their rights and that covid19 is a hoax. Most had masks on though.

There's a surprising amount of Americans think it's all a hoax as well.  As everyone has seen during the covid "event", there is no shortage of human beings with strange things ticking away in their heads....and some of them appear to be well educated specimens ??

Sometimes you just cant fix stupid....Maybe a few hours in an ICU ward with suffering patients might change their minds..

most of them wouldnt speak english so cant read DONT DO IT, or are too ****in dumb to read


from the police
"We will have no hesitation in issuing $1,652 fines or making arrests on the day, if necessary."


Anyone believe that?

The peasants are at it again this arvo. Dipsticks in Dandenong are gathering to march the streets saying they're just getting their exercise. Leave it to these wankers for long and we're be going back into iso.

The highlight of the stupidity was one numbskull running around asking reporters and the like to "show me the statistics that we are threatened"....I may be wrong but hasn't there been a daily report about all aspects of the virus since March?   What a f,n idiot.

We(Lawrence Rideo Committee) made the decision Wednesday evening at our AGM & General Meeting to cancel this years event, held between Christmas & New Years.
We can not guarantee everyones saftey, and it would not be viable. The Maclean Show Ground under Covid rules could only hold 500 people, this includes competitors, working staff, it would only allow about 30 odd paying spectators.
Last year we raised some $27000.00 that went back to local groups.
We have enough in the bank to donate about a 1/3 of that to these clubs/groups that depend on this event to keep their organizations afloat.

It sure is a blow to our Communitty, but we are not the only ones that Covid has dealt a blow to.

Take care Swaggers.

With the VIC numbers still too high, VIC Swaggers can expect an extension to stage 4 tomorrow for another couple of weeks. Then if the 7 day running average is single digits we'll go to a stage 3 'plus', which is essentially stage 4 with a few tweaks. It's going to be a long haul...

Like a lot of organisations during these trying times, if you have enough money to survive this year, hopefully next year will bring brighter times.
Some community groups may fold...but out the other side, hopefully we'll see a resurgence of community support not seen since ww2..

Talking to few over the last month, there has been a return to people thinking about their own community, there are groups reaching out to those less fortunate then us.
Empathy, would seem to be making a come back.
Thinking about others, some of the local stories I've heard about.
People organizing hampers/cooked meals for the elderly who are alone.
Doing they shopping, run errands for them.

Hey mate,
Cheers and you guys take care .

[bmwfreak]

Hey Hairs,
What age group has suddenly found empathy?

[Hairs]

Hey Hairs,
What age group has suddenly found empathy?

Why would you think it is an age thing?

Mate, I'd say across all ages.
We have in our tiny part of the world, a lot of young people, early 20's joining local groups, wanting to be apart of the communitty.
We also have people, retired, tree changes, young families that are wanting to be apart of the communitty.

[bmwfreak]

Answers my question,  but no need to assume I was looking for a target group, merely curious.

[bmwfreak]

Why would you think it is an age thing?

I was merely curious if there was a stand out age group who have come to your attention, in the statement that 'empathy seems to be making a comeback'. Your response answers the question, without assuming an attack at any particular generation.

Wasn't, just though it different.
Maybe I didn't word it right.
Cheers.

Thats the small town feel I miss.

It's awesome to be apart of.
I really couldn't live in a city, Christ, Yamba, Broomshead and Maclean are a head $#rkat holiday time.
Love(except for the numpties that can not take instruction from the ferry operators & screw the whole show up)my morning/afternoon ferry trip to get to & from where work is.

This has existed in communities for the ages, often associated with churches, just some people are not aware of the work of others do in the community.

Maybe more of a rant but just what the fluk is Palaceofshades doing to try and control the spread of Covid in Queensland because she sure as fluk is not protecting her fellow Queenslanders.   

My old Man live on the Islands and until now has been to some degree isolated from Covid but as we have many times discussed the passenger ferries is a big concern for possible spread of Covid.   All it takes is one to commute from Island to mainland to bring it over to the Islands, Russel, Lamb, Macleay and Karragarra Islands.   

So now we have someone from the existing correctional services cluster potentially spreading the virus to a vulnerable community.

Sorry for the rant but I am just a bit annoyed with the stupid Border closure and not allowed to check on my old Man because I live in regional NSW with NO Covid cases but the Queersland Health calls us a Hotspot.

So your critisizing the premier for not shutting down island borders? Yet pissed off with border controls. Qld is going great guns with the current virus. Our case numbers are no where near the 2 southern states and community spread is under control.  Recent polls show great majority of Queenslanders are happy with the border protection. Isnt that the job of a state premier ..to look after their state first?  I can understand your frustration but you are just one in many million who is frustrated.  Unfortunately this virus is no where near being under control. Check out how the Spanish Flu was handled and the devastating effect it had when people relaxed their attitude to it. I have kids and grandkids in Melbourne and country Victoria . One of them would never survive the virus, because of his medical condition.   Qld health is doing a great job and you can rest assured that the islands will receive prompt attention to stop any outbreak.  I,d rather be in Qld than NSW or Vic while the virus is still present.

Here is an interesting article on just how important it is to not be in a rush to "get back to normal"..

No, not criticising nor wanting Island Borders and while you may think Community spread is under control, this demonstrates it is not under control.  A person from a known cluster outbreak  potentially infecting an already isolated Community.   Lets hope the potential doesn't happen.   Reading different articles about this one case shows a complete lack of understanding of the four Island Communities.  While the one case resides on Russell Island, the Water Buses service all four Islands, great to have testing for Russell Island residents but people from the other three Islands could be sitting next to near the one case.   It is good to see Community spread in Queensland as well, lets hope for all sake, it is handled better then Vic was.
