Here for the laughs

Qantas just sent me an email - all subject to govt/regulatory approval etc.
Based on the current vaccination projection rates and the Australian Government’s plan for reopening borders, we are preparing for Qantas and Jetstar international flights to resume as follows: • From mid-December 2021, between Australia and Fiji, Singapore, the United States, Japan, United Kingdom and Canada.* • From mid-December 2021, between Australia and New Zealand in line with the anticipated restart of the trans- Ta$man travel bubble.* • From mid-February 2022, between Australia and Hong Kong.* • From April 2022 onwards, between Australia and cities including Bali, Jakarta, Manila, Bangkok, Phuket, Ho Chi Minh City and Johannesburg.* This remains dependent on Government decisions in coming months, so we’ll keep you updated if the plans change.
Probably still relies on the daughter unit getting the vax and there is no timeline yet for under 16s.

Alan Joyce, you are delusional. By mid-december you'll be lucky to be operating Sydney to Brisbane
And those flights will you are talking about will be empty because no one is going to do 14 days quarantine.

actually might have more chance NSW opening up with Singapore for example than with either Qld and WA

yeah especially when QLD will be crying out for tourism dollars..although i suspect the 12-13 LGAs going no where, but my guess will be others that can prove double vax will get this freedom when we hit those vacc rates

i think the announcement today by the Qld Govt is telling on a number of levels
They are building a big quarantine facility in Toowoomba, 1,000 beds or something. Not expected to be fully on line until March next year.
No, the Feds didn't know about it, they will find out at the press conference like everyone else.So this tells me Qld has no intention of opening up, and they quite frankly couldn't give a solitary fuck what the Feds think about it
loooool at this. Grandstanding at it's absolute pinnacle
So, since this announcement yesterday, turns out the mayor of Toowoomba didn't even know about it. And he's had grave concerns since it was first mooted, most especially around the local hospital's capacity. Questions answered by the Qld Government = 0
Looks like people will have to be bused from Brissie airport. And possibly even to Brissie hospitals.
This isn't a plan, it's a fucking press release.
But they guy no doubt getting paid fuck loads to build it thinks it's an amazing plan.

The company tasked with building it is a Labor donor. I do like how Qld and WA are busy preparing for 2020 by building these facilities. Reminds me of the successful desalination plants...

That's a start. Are they any good?

i for one am just glad we have a bunch of adults leading the nation
The petty border tit-for-tat between NSW and Qld makes them both look stupid, Ana more so today.
God King of the DPRWA is throwing the toys because Alan Joyce is going to take his toys and play somewhere else (hubbing his direct Aus - London planes through Darwin, because, you know, you are allowed in and out of the Territory).
It's just so refreshing to see how fucking maturely everything is being handled.
-
this article is pretty interesting
“The Doherty modeling appears to be nothing more than manufactured scientific opinion to achieve a political outcome by working the numbers backwards.”
-
@stockcar86 not really surprised seeing as all the leaders who have read it seem to have a different idea of what it says
-
@stockcar86 yeah fucking thanks for that. super. great.
we are all fucked. Pack it in, it's all over. You are never leaving your house again, let alone the State. Maybe your kids will get to leave the Country
ANd if you don't work directly for the Government, find other work.

It almost makes you think maybe we need some sort of national government to lead in times of national emergency

the divide between each of the states and the feds has been pretty eye opening, similar with the Us, makes you really wonder how well these federations actually work

look, i'm just gone to go ahead and let you run your little "everything is ScoMos fault" crusade
The Feds can't do shit. That's the way the Country is set up. The State's are responsible for themselves, their own conduct, and their own behaviour.

I had a look at that and stopped when he got confused about the 180 days modelling:
For example, looking at daily new infections, the new infections per day don’t even peak before the model cuts off at 180 days for the 80% vaccine coverage scenario:
For a smart bloke he's having a real fucking dumb moment. At 50% it reaches a peak and then declines. The modelling then shows with each extra 10% of the population vaccinated the bell curve shifts right. How fucking hard is it to see that?

Ah yeah, I mean the states have not covered themselves in glory with the way they've been carrying on. Plenty of brickbats to go around. I'm loathe to pass up an opportunity to put the boot into scomo because 1) the buck ultimately stops at the top and 2) he's done far more to contribute to this mess than any of the state premiers, and that's nothing to do with the constitution.
But sure, Palaszczuk seems to be having a week of dumbfuckery, so have at it and I'll try not to derail again
