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.

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?

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.

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

Huh?  Yes it should only be a Sydney lockdown, my point is how long it has taken to put a lockdown in place in order to curb the outbreak.

This one gave me a chuckle.



29 more cases now.

Young Will Brown is well worth watching.
He's very enthusiastic and appears to be a fast learner.
Three top 10 finishes for a rookie at a track he's never seen puts a lot of other drivers to shame.
His qualifying is getting there too.
A good Toowoomba lad...   

Of course it could be the car.
I've read here that anyone could win in certain cars.

Um, he's driving for Erebus... 
Look what he did in the Hyundai!

Why can't Erebus cars be the best?

IMO they lack the culture required for it as well.  There's a reason their staff turnover is so high.

Impressive ride for MM and that will give him added confidence at the peril of everyone else. 

Miller was pretty disappointing, overtaken by his teammate who was nearly 20th at one stage, but he's keeping it upright which is half the battle.

SvG was spot on regarding the tyres.  They didn't provide the entertainment they were designed to do, so back to the drawing board on that one.

SvG also simply too good, especially on the starts.  I feel that Pole should get to choose where they start though as 2nd on the grid seemed to provide an advantage.

Percat keeps his podium which is great, but the team loses points due to the error being completely self inflicted.  No puncture was involved.

Zero issue with what SVG did, he went for the gap and made a nice move, that's pretty basic motor racing.  What happened behind is 100% on those behind, Pye was simply in too hot and he has put his hand up taking the blame for it (but seems some Supercars fans don't use much common sense).

Feel for Anton, he deserved better after a good weekend to that point.
