WA Premier reveals plan to make people in hotel quarantine wear monitoring braceletsDays after two women allegedly breached hotel quarantine to attend a party, WA Premier Mark McGowan revealed he wants to force people who presented a flight risk or had a criminal history to wear a monitoring bracelet. ALL POLITICIANS SHOULD BE *MANDATORY DRUG TESTED* and wear one of these so the people that they work for (you and me) know what exactly the hell they are upto at all times... I hope the people see how they are testing certain things at different places to see the publics reaction - this is all testing so they can try to (but wont succeed) swoop in and blanket the world with these RESTRICTIONS. WAKE PEOPLE UP! May be we can brand permanent tatoos on their heads for quick identification. Deviant behaviour like asking for basic freedoms need to be outlawed for achievement of stable Australian reich. Nothing says duty of care like a bogan tatoo on forehead. Start with Palmer. Heil McGowan

PM acknowledges joint state, federal responsibility for aged care sector | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has downplayed claims of tension between the Victorian and federal governments, insisting his only focus is on the “collective attack against this virus”. \n\nOn Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared to shift the blame for Victoria’s troubled aged care sector to the state government, later clarifying at a press conference there is joint federal and state responsibility for the sector.\n\n“It’s the overlapping of public health responsibilities which sits with states and federal aged care responsibilities which sit with the federal government, so yes it is a complex set of responsibility and they are shared,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nWhen asked about the remark, Mr Andrews said he was “not interested” in attempting to interpret the Prime Minister’s comments. \n\nThe Premier moved on to outline of the 2,050 active coronavirus cases in the aged care system, only five were linked to state-run facilities. \n\n“I’m not seeking to make any other point than the facts, and they are the facts and I’ve consistently presented them that way … that is the appropriate thing to do,” he said. \n\nMeanwhile Victoria Police revealed only 42 state residents had been fined for breaching the state’s lockdown laws. \n\nThe state has seen a continued downward trend in its daily caseload, recording 216 new cases and 16 fatalities in the past 24 hours. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Leave the virus, get you policies in order regarding nursing homes and let everyone else get back to normal DanielAndrewsMP Ye okay, just cause you said so Dan.
