Kaubo marywardy It was a hens’ party!
marywardy Kaubo Forget Blue-fest. Given Qld has locked down SE Qld why is Glad dithering over locking down Far Northern NSW when it is now in the exact same situation as Brisbane. The peninsular was insular but the boundaries here are wide & it could soon reach Sydney if Glad dithers as usual?
