Totally agree with your comments, they were enough to set it off in SA.

Being homeless it may put a roof over their head for a while too.

As though we were ignorant whipersnappers about such things, offered to give the Maori side of that history in Maori (Grew up in Tolaga bay) but no takers.... tells me a lot about people as well..

Kia ora Sashadidi. Grew up on the other side of the Raukumara. Spent a few years contract fencing and working on the farms around Te Araroa. Surfed up and down the coast between contracts. Tolaga Bay is a sweet little spot.

Yep, Aussies are no different to anyone else really, an interesting amalgam of odds and sods. Like anywhere else in the world, patriotism can be at healthy and respectful levels in the many but to the point of malignant parochialism to toxic levels in a few. Some are likeable rogues, others sound/act like they still have the rough end of the ponga stuck somewhere.

Brisbane man claims to have seen Victorian zombies in Queensland!

He was quoted as saying "Damn pale ruffians, shuffling along and reaching everywhere, just the constant shuffle... shuffle... shuffle... reaching, dirty bandages, don't get me started on the oozing, just oozing everywhere... damn zombies!" "One even tried to look at my caravan!" "Calling out for Brains all the time. You'd think they'd be New South Welshman calling out for that beer all the time! But no, I am sure they're from further south!"

But those are Qld zombies, not imports.

Were they reaching or retching?
Sorry, GrammarNazi moment.

It’s bloody dick heads like this that will bring the whole country down

When WA was in lockdown I had to travel between the regional borders enforced for work and checking the animals on the farm
I based myself in Perth and when I crossed the “border” I didn’t come into contact with any other person physically
I spoke to neighbours on the phone
I brought all supplies needed
Just to make sure if I did catch Corona, I didn’t transfer it to a rural community

Now I hear about the scum mentioned above getting a warning and put into quarantine in SA for 2 weeks
They should have got 2 years quarantine at Pentridge

The authorities need to make an example out of dim wits like this
If they keep this soft attitude the country is definitely not out of the woods yet
Might as well be in America (at least some of the population don’t believe that corona virus exists (if I can’t see it I don’t believe it)), life goes on

But but but, Pentridge was closed years ago. It must be cold & damp, no facilities or heating, a very sombre place indeed, no meals etc etc.

A few days living in the old Hanging Room might make then **** their pants for a while.


Ah, I see where you are going with this.


Maybe they are pals of Dan, sent over so he can say "Thought you were better than us did you, I'll teach you ".


Maybe they could be prodded out along a greasy plank whilst the train is on the Nullabor Plain & if they survive that they could walk back home unaided. Well, except from one crutch & then make them pay for the "free" ride thus far.

Antibody treatments could be used as short term protection for health care workers, and the families of patients. Or to be more specific, nanobodies from Llama's.

It's a mistake to talk about waves of the coronavirus. It is not the Spanish Flu.

“I think waves are a useful concept for individual countries or in the regions of countries, but it’s not a very useful concept about the world’s progress,” says Hibberd. “If you think about influenza, we don’t call it waves when it comes back every year—we call that seasonal flu.”
Because of this, we will likely never see a global second wave, but rather a series of localized flare-ups. International travel will be disrupted almost indefinitely, and nations will fall in and out of favor as holiday destinations depending on their grip on the virus. In January, you wouldn’t have wanted to travel to China; now, it is one of the safer destinations.
