A place where you'll find others that will affirm your opinions.
Meanwhile... but don't worry, you were there... Hume Freeway a '24-hour free-for-all' after police checkpoint delays Premier Daniel Andrews has expressed frustration at the Australian Defence Force’s refusal to help man the NSW border as it was revealed it took police until Monday afternoon to set up a checkpoint on the busy Hume Freeway. Albury mayor Kevin Mack said there were long queues at the newly set-up checkpoint on the Hume Freeway late on Monday afternoon. But he said many people had travelled from NSW into Victoria before it went up. "Ostensibly it's been a free-for-all for probably 24 hours," Cr Mack said. https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...21-p56p7h.html Last edited by FairmontGS; 22-12-2020 at 08:41 AM. |

I honestly wouldn’t know. The overhead signs on major roads are so typically plastered in hectoring nonsense that most people ignore them. (They could warn of four metre floodwaters across the road ahead, and people would keep driving.) I don’t do TV, or listen to the radio.

Don't worry.
The government are hard at work trying to figure out how this happened. It will be all sorted. ![]()

More countries close borders to the UK as new coronavirus strain breeds panic
British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the strain was "out of control" around London and south eastern England, though experts have said it was not clear whether it is more lethal. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-...covid/13005500 |

The posters here that keep carrying on about "gold standard contact tracing"......if they cannot see the difference nothing will help them understand. Dumb decisions on allowing Flight crews to stay in their own hotels have nothing to do with contact tracing.

I can't help think that it is a time of year thing, unavailability of manpower due to XMas. Lets hope we only get invaded on a weekday..........

It is odd. Most likely as you say they've already furloughed their people off on holiday leave and it's logistically too hard to undo.

Just tried to wade through the NSW gumnut advice on travel, there is no dissuasion in respect of leaving Sydney (or coming into it from elsewhere!) - save for staying out of the “insular peninsula”. Been pondering whether I’m legally allowed to check on a car I have garaged in the Red Zone. :-/ |

Gumnut is about right, why would you bother looking there, gum bloody nuts. Everywhere I've been in Sydney is half as busy as it was last week, school hols have contributed to less traffic and more this week to date. Alot more people are wearing masks when I have gone to any shop BUT there is always the exceptions. Overall its pretty good in general from my observations. You'd have to be a off the grid with NO tv/radio etc fail to understand any of your interstate travel plans have been scuppered (the border restrictions fix that up) and if your a good citizen you'd change plans doing the right thing. Nothing wrong just travelling around NSW its a big Gold State why bother elsewhere ![]()

No, they are not telling people not to leave Sydney.
They are asking people not to leave Sydney. They also used the word "please". Because imposing a law which bans all travel out of Sydney will make "that state" look like hypocrites for what they said about the VIC lockdown. Can't have that now can we? |

Here we go again.... the US consulate in Sydney, together with state government, granted exemptions for US workers to fly into Australia (Sydney) and work on the air conditioning system at the US consulate.
https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/break...579b8567a466fd Did I mention this is a US based strain? |

All from known sources with one Healthcare worker infected. |

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT December 21st, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 26 new cases for Australia and 0 deaths so the CMR is 3.220%. NSW recorded 23 cases, Vic, Queensland, WA & ACT recorded 1 each. 5 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.179% and active cases 59. The UK had a lower 33,364 cases yesterday and 215 deaths. Just over 189k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,476 deaths sees CMR drop to 1.778% and active cases at 40.1% with the raw numbers rising and now over 7.3M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 1.7M with the last 50k in 5 days; North America passes 21M cases; The USA completes 236M, India 162M, Russia 86M, UK 50M, France 31M, Spain 25M, Iran 7M, Chile 6M and Azerbaijan 2M tests. Only: Namibia (585) - 35% above the previous high; and Russia (29,350) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.
