Coercion is not the way to govern . Threats will only impact the situation more.

Why has it takn15 lives for them to test staff. If elderly in nursing homes have been isolated from family and each other, common sense would tell staff are the transmitters,doesn't take genius. How about treating the elderly as assets rather than a drag on the public purse.

looking counter clockwise Of course the Costello media have to push the party line. getting sick of it channel 9

And yet everyone complaining about privacy is on Twitter 😂😂

Ye na get f*cked

The cases are declining without this app that doesn’t even work yet.

And I see they are going behind our backs pretending it’s voluntary, but implementing it as mandatory in opening pubs and sports venues, yeh right, voluntary my ass.

It’s not going to protect you from getting the flu, they can’t run websites or call centres effectively, why is everyone so keen this is a good idea. How dare they wave this app around like a carrot for our basic freedoms, and what’s next, and who developed this app and when?

Nope

I wanna ask icke 1st cos main stream media and the PM r full of shit

.

The UK, Sweden, US and soon India use a 'Symptom Tracker' rather than a 'People Tracker' App which seems more privacy friendly.

I have downloaded covidsafe. I don't really trust the government but moving towards easing restrictions is the way we must head

Government n media working hand in hand once again ...'do this or the restrictions will stay....'you want to go to the pub or enjoy footy again then download this!' pass

Newmarch House relative speaks out over lack of communication with families of residents - ABC NewsElizabeth Lane says her mother, a Newmarch House resident, is a 'sitting duck' as the new COVID-19 cases continue to rise at the Western Sydney aged care home. CovidWa “To put this another way, of those 104 subjects who took 2,000 IU of vitamin D every day, only one got a cold or influenza in the entire year.“ Should the accompanying photo be one of Newmarch House this graphically shows the state of despair and isolation the residents must experience. The only folk who profit from aged care in Australia are the owners, usually doctors. What a thoroughly disgusting industry.
