I didn't notice any hugely increased numbers last week, but that was Monday to Wednesday in Tweed and Murbah.Quote:

Having said that, you are right, you can guarantee as soon as there's a hint the border is opening it'll be a free for all by the Nomads

Pointedly, it's no longer the preserve of various 'Tin Hats' to declare and/or speculate as to how many bad actors are involved in the murk.
Then there is the bottomless well of Human Stupidity, matching the most devious conspiracy Theories. [bigwhistle]

Don't forget the jackals, circling just outside the light, opportunists / Savvy businessmen, who see a buried pot of gold and make the most of it to push THEIR own agendas...
Note the current emphasis on 'VACCINEs' to Save Humanity, all 7.8 billion of us, or those who can afford the $40 to $200 cost per jab. Per year.
- yet very little on improving treatment and making it Very Effective.
Or enhancing out immune systems to fight off the invasion, as we see with the majority who are infected yet symptomless & recovered.

Yeah, must admit that my first thought was that the Constitution didn't have a freedom of sex provision.Quote:

You just don't get it down there do you?
Someone said businesses are closing at Bryon Bay. Well, from my observation , businesses are always closing at Byron Bay , it's got nothing to do with Queenslanders. It has no real stable population , but the blues festival is good.
I hope we are last to open our borders and we will not change to daylight saving either. If you want either , find a different place to go to.
Why do you all want to come here?
And if you don't want to come here as more than one have already said , shut the **** up!
Thats 'cause you are all Queenslanders, mind the daylight saving doesn't fade the curtains. I now know how Joe Bjelke was able to be king for so long.Quote:

They burn down the hippies huts

The sun shines the whole year 'round
The shotguns' still in season
Get me over the border, get me over the border
Down to New South Wales
The girls' are sweet & juicy
Oh so brown & blonde
but watch out for the young ones
You wont get no bond
They don't treat you too well
Down in Bogga Road jail
Make a break, make a break for the border
with the dogs running on your tail
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Get me over the border down to New South Wales
It's a nice place to visit
But I wouldn't want to stay
I might want to march in the street some day
But ol' Joh wont let me have my say
So I'll get on down to Coolangatta
And get on my way
Get over the border
Get this rocket on the rails Put some wind in my sails
I got my foot to the floor I don't know what I went there for
Get out of Queensland I'm only going back with a gun in my hand
I got me a mango one day they're gonna hang Joh
Over the border put some wind in my sails
over the border get my wheels on the rails
Get me over the border down to new south wales

I went to Byron Bay and back today. The locals said the place was dead as until about a week ago, when Queensland number plates starting appearing, to the great delight of the local restauranteurs, who seem to have been abandoned by NSW tourists, strangely enough.
There was a long queue of vehicles with Queensland number plates and border passes stuck to their windscreens at Tweed Heads. Also trucks being waved through. We were waved through.
Far as I know I wasn't infected by any NSW people without symptoms. Might still have the test again tomorrow though, just to be sure. Can't be too careful.
Lets keep the border closed to southerners until July 13, as currently planned, and see if NSW has the second wave NSW Premier GladysB says is likely. After all, she should know, shouldn't she?
