Thats why I answered the post, the poster who I did not quote was talking about him picking up his pay every week or bags of cash. As an Australian worker like you then you are entitled to be paid a wage or salary, wether worker compensation or private accident cover, I am not a big fan of conspiracy theories, if he's a gob****e then he's a gob****e! Only he knows not me or you, we just surmise stuff to suit how our head feels today! Cheers Billy. |

He is only as good as the folk under him, if he made bad choices that's his problem, I think he's been kicked enough, he's hopeless for sure, you know that and I know that, but he's the boss, and there are good and bad boss's a n d I've worked for both. From personal experience. Patella shattered motorbike 1982, removed 1986 Open lumbar surgery 1989,now intermittent cauda equina Open posterior cervical laminectomies C2-3-4-5 Feb 1993 Open posterior cervical laminectomies C6 July 1993 ACDF C7-T1 2005 ACDF CC6-7 2009 Sensory nerve transected at groin, L4-L5 dermatome Right Thigh. 2010 Malignant Adenocarcinoma Left Upper Lung, waiting for lobectomy. Other than that I feel pretty chipper, but I know what pain is now, my lumbar surgery was a bloody nightmare of pain and mobility issues, I used to sit in the corner with a bottle of rum after, eating any painkillers they gave me! Maybe Andrew is a bit of a woose, lol, can't handle pain, real pain! Cheers Billy. |

Melbourne drops to 8th on world liveability index
https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...09-p57zcs.html Melbourne is now ranked equal eighth with Geneva, in Switzerland. Auckland came in first, Osaka, Japan second, Adelaide third, and Wellington in New Zealand equal fourth with Tokyo. Perth was ranked sixth, Zurich in Switzerland seventh, and Brisbane came in tenth. The survey also found that the overall global average liveability score fell by seven points, when compared with the average pre-pandemic score. “Many European and Canadian cities have fallen down the rankings, having battled a second COVID-19 wave by restricting cultural and sporting events, and closing schools and restaurants. |

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT June 8th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 13 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.013%. 10 cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.966% and active cases 22. The UK had a higher 5,966 cases yesterday and 13 deaths. 14,681 new cases in the USA yesterday and 268 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%. Other notable points: North America passes 40M cases; India passes 20M cases; Brazil passes 17M cases; Argentina passes 4m Cases; Namibia (722); and Afghanistan (1,724) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average and none drop below.

So… The Victorian government is now playing semantics, shifting from “lockdown” to “easing of restrictions”.

Well, in theory, if you're within 25km of Tulla, you can hop a plane to Skid-knee where you're welcome! Go figure

To an extent, it’s perhaps more of a “lockout” per the travel abilities presently open (or not) to Melbournians and others. |

![]() On the announcement this morning, I am pleasantly surprised they are easing quite a bit. Almost all retail will be open, including pubs. And I'm surprised they are looking at more easing as soon as next week. Previously it has taken at least a fortnight - month for them to even contemplating next stage of easing. This leak started from someone else's hotel quarantine breach, and we had a zombie wondering around the community whilst symptomatic for 12 days, we had a variant in community that had a 1-2 day incubation period, yet officials have been able to pull it up in 2 weeks. Maybe I am suffering stockholm syndrome but sounds like good work. However, I do wonder if they went with a more immediate snap |

Lock down vs restrictions - "lock down" keeps more eyes glued to the tv, ears pinned to the radio and sells more papers. That 3 month saga last year was a true "lock down", with curfew, heavy police presence etc. This time it felt more like a 14 day restriction IMHO. I remember driving through the edge of the CBD during the 3 months, and it was a ghost town, yet when I drove through the same area this time, it was cars and people everywhere. Police were present but just monitoring. |

Nothing really wrong with Victoria!it,s the 5-6 million people who live within 50 kms of the city that are the problem,but unfortunately the ones that live outside that radius are the one forced to suffer

Melbourne family caught breaching Australia-New Zealand travel bubble rule
Three Melbourne residents have been caught trying to get into New Zealand during Victoria's coronavirus lockdown. New Zealand director general of health Ashley Bloomfield, told a press conference on Wednesday that the three drove from Melbourne to Sydney and then flew to Auckland last week. The NZ Herald reported they were going to attend a funeral and they would have to pay for their quarantine stay. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-...d-19/100202344 |

![]() Maybe both of you are introverts ? who knows. The melbournians I know pretty close, be it friends and many business associates have told me they are pi ss ed right off with it all in your city. They don't defend anything like you do T3 by the way. They hate the lockdowns, some have said they won't shut their business's down ever again, Vic pol can fine them for all they care its nothing what it has costed them. Mentions about their kids suffering, behind with school work, etcetc, there's plenty that would think similar, if you guys think its ok, fine live in your worlds. The other thing in their opinions re Dans Gov saving grace is they say the other side is useless, then they think for a mo over the last 1yr and half and eat their words loling....... Live long and prosper fellas, I sure know I wouldn't be sitting back looking at things the way you do and I'm sure not alone.

Once upon a time, the Australia I knew would say, "wow let's help our brothers out, what can we do support"... yet here we are. The smugness might just come back and bite some people on the bum.
