Most Victorians realise this latest outbreak is due to the incomperdence of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, not dealing with their responabilities. They have known for a year that hotel quanentean is unsatisfactory, yet the Morrison government has done little to improve the situation. Their vaccine roll-out has been a shambles, a government big on promises but a failure on delivery. The latest is cross infections in aged care, the feds have failed to fully vaccinate residents and workers despite saying they would do so by the end of March. They promised no workers would be employed in more than one location, something the State government has achieved in facilities they are reasonable for, yet now one worker in a private institution, federal control, has carried the virus to another institution infecting a co-worker there .

To say; "The main problem in Victoria seems to be the tracking system." is totally false an attempt to deflect away from the failures of the MORRISON GOVERNMENT.

Pauliar,

You are not kidding anyone. Most people are perfectly aware that Victoria insisted on taking charge of its quarantine facilities and refused help from the federal government. Now that Vic Labor has cocked it up for the 3rd time they are desperately trying to shift the blame for their incompetence.

I have a lot of family and friends in Melbourne and without exception, they hold Labor responsible and think that Andrews is a twat.

shonkyminister, licking you wounds after your over the top claims about the Porter case, doesn't want his very dirty linen aired in public. What were you claiming, 'Cry Baby' Porter will be getting $10 million plus from the ABC, he's not getting a razoo! I'll be adding 'Cry Baby' Porter to 'Beat Up' Bolt in the shonkyminister file for future referencing.

shonkyminister's family and friends don't like Labor, nor do the NAZI's, should that surprise anyone, me thinks not!

You know that the latest outbreak of Covid in Victoria was caused by incomperdence by Liberals, Marshmallow Marshall and Scotty from Marketing with hotel quanentean in SA. Then ScumO' and his Federal Liberals have completely botched the vaccine roll-out across the country. Aged care vaccination of staff and residents is a joke, while Scotty gets the jab for himself, our old folk are left unprotected in commonwealth controlled homes in Victoria and elsewhere. Hunt the minister is reduced to lying on national TV about the vaccination rates.

Scotty from Marketing claimed Australia was at the head of the queue when it comes to vaccines, Australia is not even in the queue!

Oh Paul have the Liberals ever done anything right ?

By the way, the problem with the VIC tracker is that the software has
a number of bugs.
One is that it brings up the wrong day's data when a day or location
is requested. A simple fault one would think.
Why didn't they get a copy of NSW system and just change
the name and the url where it sends the data ?

Hotels for quarantine were the only facility available last year.
Six or seven specifically designed centres could not have been built
in the time needed. They would each have to accomodate some hundreds
of men women and children and families of varying numbers, provide
the bathrooms, kitchens staff etc. We can't find cooks waiters etc etc
now so where would we have got the staff ?
No, hotels were the only possibility or just stop all aircraft.
Paul would no doubt blame the Federal government for not building
those centres by the end of March 2020.

As the virus becomes more manageable then a study should be made with
the experience attained to design an ideal centre and quotes to build
obtained at leisure instead of in a panic rush and typical ridiculous
public service consultant prices.
That there will be another pandemic seems fairly certain, so perhaps
we will need to build them. They would be useful when bushfires or
other emergencies displace people.

Pauliar,

Can't stop lying, can you? I wonder if it is genetic defect or your mother dropped you on your head?

I never claimed that the ABC would pay Porter $10m. I said that the ABC had either to apologise or face a court case that they would lose and would cost the ABC $10m which includes damages, costs and lawyers fees (as per the recent Rush case.).

It would appear that the ABC has given a grovelling apology and heavily clarified its position admitting that there was not a jot of evidence against Porter that would stand up in any court (essentially admitting that they had no case).

Not nearly as serious as the 2 convicted greens paedophiles or the green violent bigot facing multiple criminal charges.
