@nta said in Coronavirus - Australia:
VIC: records results midnight to midnight, announces just after 9AM
NSW: records 8PM to 8PM, announces just after 11AM
I find this weird.
you only now find this weird? Appears to be just another states doing everything their own way

@bayimports thats what i was thinking, and where i think the average person would just go "might as well do the same thing, keep it simple" governments seem to think..."this is how i prove my power and independence"

Even giving them benefit of the doubt, that maybe it is accidental ..I supect you are right except in WA, where everything is reported in Mark McGowan time ..(as even time needs to be approved by him)

@bayimports and the other day a reporter had to tell Dan andrews scomo had had a press conference at the same time and just announced more vaccines coming to vic, ya have to think we're in a bad place if they dont even talk to each other about good things

you don't tell others stuff because then they will say it before you and you won't get the attention for it
there is a reason there are so many press conferences every. single. day. The Premiers have never had so much attention, and they love it. Even if you have nothing to say, come out and say how great that is. Well done Queenslanders!

@mariner4life fair enough...then just do it an hour earlier, doing it at the same time is just a childish powerplay

I wasn't previously paying attention to the fact Victoria announced earlier in the day 🤷♂️

ACT lockdown extended by another month. If you think that's fine, save yourself and me the hassle of responding.

There are a few state governments who will get very nervous if vaccinations stall in the 60s

My nephew just sent me the Gladys video about NSW being locked down for ever. I know that in itself is shit, but the video is funny.
You tube seem to have no sense of humour and have taken it down, but there is this:
If anyone can find a link it is a bit of a giggle.

@voodoo will be interesting if we can bring these dates forward as more companies and industries bring in no jab no job, might be the motivation to get a few more people through the door
Can you do that legally in Aus as an employer?

@snowy several have, SPC (the canned fruit place) and QANTAS were the first i heard so big companies
I think QANTAS came out and said they'd done a survey of their staff and they already had over 80% that had already or were planning on getting it
I'm sure it will be challenged and sorted in court one way or the other
I know when i first started work as a surveyor we had to get Hep shots because we were surveying sewers, no one even questioned it

Qld police officers are trying to raise funds to fight the compulsory jab mandate that was announced for cops a couple of weeks ago. If it gets to court the outcome will obviously have wide ramifications in other industries too.

@crazy-horse is there wide spread opposition in the police force or is it a vocal minority?
ive said this before, i dont actually know anyone first hand that is openly anti-vax so i find it interesting when things like this come up

I wouldn't say wide spread, but I do know a couple that are saying they will not be getting the jab. I guess we will find out how staunch they are when they are facing dismissal. I think noses are out of joint because it has been made compulsory. It's not necessarily about being anti Vax.

@crazy-horse good point
