Just a further example of the LNP's fetishisation of the military.

i have zero idea on the armys involvement, just saw a headline talking about possible army deployment.

Was on my way into work today on the tram and noticed that the removalist super spreaders had had Maccas and a shower at Ballan, so the petrol station is now a tier 1 site for the 8th - I went through there last week so I did a quick check to make sure that our paths hadn't crossed, which they hadn't.

The removalists aren't being cooperative with the contact tracers - what would they be hiding?? - so the authorities have been checking CCTV.

I'm guessing that it was via CCTV that the Kalkallo site was picked up, and they probably also stopped several times between Ballan and Bordertown so I'm expecting a contact site in Horsham - but it's almost a week old now which is a real concern.

given the way police are handing out fines, its no surprise.

NSW COVID outbreak spreads to regions, case found in Goulburn (msn.com)

As of this morning the nearest exposure site to Goulburn is half an hour at Marulan on the 10th of July with nothing else repoted outside greater Sydney, perhaps the painting contractor was doing the right thing in a setting where it was considered that he would not pass anything on. But I guess that's not a hysterical headline.

Ooh possible army deployment! They must be taking ‘something’ seriously!

…all it says to me is that they’ve failed, Defence Force is the last resort.

Yep, I was there the same day too - but in the morning thankfully so we didn't cross paths either. I was there around 9am, revivalists late arvo. Hope the Maccas is back up and running again - I have another run to Ballarat tomorrow.

Yes, but I know a Military Logistics specialist personally and the sort of jobs he does - they would run rings around the private sector on how to actually get things done in a timely manner. No BS or crap, just 'Get the job done'
