France is closing its borders to people arriving from outside the European Union starting Sunday to try to stop the growing spread of new variants of the virus and avoid a third lockdown.
All those arriving from other EU countries will be required to produce a negative virus test, he said. Mr Castex ordered stepped up police checks of those who violate France's 12-hour-a-day curfew, hold secret parties or reopen restaurants in defiance of a closure order in place since October.
This is you:
This is honestly the funniest thing. A few months ago we were blasting the government for using poorly paid, insecure workers with poor training in HQ. Now they're being blasted for doing the exact opposite.
They need to keep this on standby. Remember when we had to call all our pathology and testing teams back from holidays and y'all complained it took 3 days?
Should they have worked for free?
Shhhhhhhhhhhjj
How many people are employed for it to cost millions of course there could be a slight exaggeration in the headline to get people to read a dud article.
Trash journalism. Punch up.
The headline refers to an ill conceived comment by an opposition Liberal, but is soon followed up by an account of the reasonable actions taken by Vic Gov
Hey ABC - pretty easy to work this out. Remember “Hotels for Heros” - the quarantine hotels for at risk or infected healthcare workers in Victoria? They stayed open during Victoria’s travel ban. This is not difficult information to find...
We don,t hava any more stamina. Please give us the final date on 5th feb 🙏 GladysB ScottMorrisonMP SkyNewsAust AlanTudgeMP LetUsBackToAus InternationalStudentsAustralia
So?
This story reeks of sensationalism. Some Victorian quarantine hotels stayed operational that period so that health workers who got Covid or had been exposed in high risk had somewhere to quarantine away from their families.
Who authorised this? I bet no one in the government can recall!!!
ABC nothing more than a I’ll founded gossip machine for Fed govt, wonder how many millions the Lib states paid ? Sshhh Glenys won’t have a shred of evidence left
ThisisNotJournalism
Lmao. By this logic, all Australians who have a permanent job are getting paid for the days they don't work in any given week.
Jeez, is Murdoch running the ABC now. I must have missed the memo.
Would you rather they went onto the federal payroll of job keeper? ABC - when does journalism become propaganda?
Surge capacity shouldn't be paid?
Wait until you find out how much we paid Fed Gov last year when they did fuck all. ThisIsNotJournalism auspol
more wasted Taxpayer funds
Its non-news. Using that logic we should immediately discharge all our armed services not on active duty too. Look at the followup alicianally had to post: auspol
Are you saying hotel quarantine staff in the other states weren’t paid? That would be of more concern if it were true! Can we have a breakdown of Jobkeeper payments to churches, big retailers (furniture, electrical,handyman) and how much actually reached small business?
This is a really really poor effort. It's clear the ABC is no longer on the side of Australians.
Another demonstration of the incompetence in VIC. DanielMugabe
So staff were not left without an income. And that is bad because...?
More rorts from the Andrews Government. ‘I don’t recall’
Staff paid millions or contracted businesses paid millions? Because I fucking doubt Victoria has many of any millionaire hotel room cleaners......
So I guess there are literally no other programs that get furloughed? It’s much more cost effective to keep the program going, than to have to restart it from the beginning and to have to obtain hotels willing to participate when the need arises again. Jesus the media is crap.
Yet another Dan's mismanaged project!!!!
Another day, another Victoria bashing article. Give it a rest!
So that’s basically Jobkeeper doing it’s job. Treasury estimated 60% of the Australia’s Jobkeeper would be paid to Victoria because of long business lockdown.
Isn’t that Jobkeeper? Continue to get paid while not working?
Like many of his ilk, dictatordan is not really across basic economics.
What is the big deal? Sort of Job Keeper program.
The government response csused financial harship for millions of Australians, everyone who was put out of work should have been paid ?
People need to eat and are not a tap you can turn off or on It’s the cost of doing business 🙄
So each of the staff were paid millions?
Has discovered who owns that shed on Kangaroo Island yet
And? Should we not have had properly trained people ready for when we reopened? Are you trying to ensure that you become as irrelevant as MurdochGutterMedia. Your headline is pathetic. Try Victorian government ensured that HQ program was adequately funded
🎶 we're allllll in this togeeeeetherrrr 🎶
More Vic bashing You can’t turn a program like this on and off like a tap Be better ABC
Why is this not surprising in the Bizarro world that is Danistan?
