Ummm, it's out of control. Sydney should have been locked down as soon as figures hit double digits two weeks ago. We are now going to have a longer lockdown because it will take longer to mop up. SA, Vic, WA and Qld have proven short, sharp lockdowns work.

VIC have,proven a "short " lock down works ?..... surely you are kidding ....Surrey ??...l.I don't think you are .....oh

Well, let's look what actually happened. Vic got several cases and locked down for a week. Vic was cut off from other states. Vic extended it's lock down for another week. Cases fell. Vic is reopened to the other states in 3weeks.

NSW had several cases. doesn't lockdown. 1 week later cases climb, no lock down. 2 weeks later, cases are high double digits, 4 shires are locked down, cases grow to over 100. Finally a city wide lock down is in place. Not before several case have escaped to other states Vic, Qld, NT and WA. NSW will closed to other states for at least a month. We are 4 weeks since the Limo driver and cases are still climbing.

Vic's massive second wave was a result of not locking down until hundreds were infected. Took months to recover.

No I am not kidding. You are kidding yourself.

I notice that after being apparently gobsmacked by your original stance, once you provided factual evidence which supports a very logical process, he doesn't even reply. Very telling and goes to show how some people's opinions are driven purely by media spin and not their ability to think as individuals.

Nah mate...you can't put brains in statues
If you want to believe the negative narrative and the panic theory then go for it

At least we have Remy killing it in Moto2! Another solid podium, Fernandez was in a league of his own so still a great result.

It's painful watching Rossi at the moment .

Yep give Remmy a season or 2 on the big bikes and he will be a podium getter I believe

Rossi....sad end to a great career....mind you, the squillions he is probably making in merchandise alone I'd be happy with

Anyone think that Jack is a chance ?

I think after the craziness of 2020 it would be hard to rule out anyone in the current top five (Quatararo, Zarco, Miller, Bagnaia, Mir). Oliveira is on a hot streak at the moment too. Quartararo has found some consistency this season though so I think he will be hard to stop. Without the arm pump issue at Jerez he would be nearly 50 points up right now.

Hopefully the win sees Marquez back in form. If he rides like he did in 2019 he could still win the title yet!

I'm calling it....Jack has no chance
Not sure what it is about him, but he seems to be missing something

hahahahaha, not wishing any harm on people, but jesus it has been great watching that idiot Berejiklian stand on her dick

****ing NSW gave us the Ruby Princess by their inability to act, the main reason for the first spread in Australia and the stupid ****s have done it again - have they learnt nothing.  Spread it right across Australia AGAIN - she should face criminal charges

Those NSW ****s (with the help of ScoMo & Co) have pointed fingers at other States over the last 12 month, called themselves 'gold standard' and the ****s have learnt nothing from the ****-ups of other States or the Ruby Princess - ****ing incompetent idiots

Now due to the inaction of this piss-poor Government, the people of NSW have to suffer the same fate as Victoria

And you start by laughing about it ?....I'm guessing you are not a business owner but you are paid by the government?

Anyone else notice the stark contrast in media portrayal of Glady's vs Andrews in near identical situations?  Quite telling imo.  She held out as long as she could to not look like a hypocrite regarding lockdowns and all the hesitation has achieved is a dangerous blowout of numbers which is going to be much harder to get under control.

well said, spot on

The media are in the Libs pocket

Is that you Donald Trump ?

Are you suggesting that if they had waited a week longer, that they would have recovered their outbreak at the same time as a sharper lockdown?

That's the beautiful thing for our politicians ...no one will ever know, but they will use it to be re-elected

Total crap....she was smart about it....why lock down a whole state when it's only in one area ....many parts of Australia have not had any COVID case at all, some with 1000 kms yet governments lock them down  ....well done,to her I say .... Sure,lock areas down but not the whole state

Ahhhh Sydney, the State led by the most corrupt Liberal Party puppet of all time, just can't say lock-down because she has been so busy ****-canning other States that she has painted herself into a corner

BTW, who is she rooting this week?

If your mob is anything like you, no wonder they dumped Gillard....that is one of the most misogynistic post I have read, and as a father of 3 daughters Iam horrified that a sexist individual like yourself exists

Very sad that you think you have the power to talk about woman that way

I believe, from what you have stated, it's your 'mob' too...

a "progressive " sticking up for another "progressives "  mysoginistic behaviour .... who would have thought eh ?....pity you dont show some courage and stand up against it LG

Put down the stones, boy.

You attitude towards Gillard, your praise and support for the Beetrooter and being a pro-lifer doesn't exactly give you standing to lecture us about misogyny.

My attitude  ?....not ONCE have I attacked Gillard over her sexuality ....YOU lefties literally never stand up for women  ....what do you do ?....stand up for a woman ?...hell no....you blokes are dinosaurs and need to respect women

I stand up for Gillard, she is women, yes? I support a women right to choose. I condemn an adulterer, your reply was he is doing the right thing supporting two families.

You defended Politian's that stood in front of sexist slogans, You brag you have 3 daughters yet you would deny them the right to choose to do with their own bodies. How would you explain it to them if their partners left them to start another family?

We're Dinosaurs? Were you looking in a mirror when you typed your reply.

yep, keep deflecting and dont stand up against sexism ... common thread among you lot    
wht is it so hard to condem sexist commenst ?

Sounds like a great venue once completed, any one got any inside info on who will run it ?

There was an announcement yesterday that it'll be run by John and Kathy Kelly.

I don't know the Kelly's....but I havnt heard a lot,of good things about John
