Morrison has assured us many times that 'schools are safe'. Sadly not true.

Clearer, cannot be, blah blah yawn now

Can we get an idea of the seriousness of the cases? how many in hospital, mild/severe symptoms? Unless i missed it in the article?

Only the rotten media & deplorable politicians fuelling the hysterical fear over a hyped cold virus. The jig is up...... Go do something more productive for the community and country.

visit your life Dear All society this is message to you. And This question to all politicians the world and to prime minister Scott Morrison Australian And queen Elizabeth. farmers wants support this cause

Just give up! 😀

Watch the real cases of Hydroxy and save lives, instead of being fooled(or murdered) by CCP, WHO and Dr.Fauci

Thought schools were safe? Little humans spread this virus just as much as big ones. Parents must be given the choice of whether to send their child to school or not. Teachers must be given the choice about the number of pupils in a class. Schools are not safe.

Here we go! Hold on tight NSW. Could be a bumpy ride!

The Armenian Australian Berejiklian is still shafting the useless Anglo Australian Andrews!

It’s not the number of infections from this school that is scary - it’s that no one has been able to determine where the first infection came from. Unknown community transmission is out there...

STOP FEAR MONGERING YOU HACKS!

Nonsense ...

Oh dear, so when they said kids wouldn’t catch it and spread it at school, it was wishful thinking.

... will Murdochs Muppets at Sky... & now ABC, be demanding Gonzo Gladys resign in the same way they're demanding Andrews resign.?!

6 days to act maybe less

This is what happens when you keep saying schools are safe despite the facts saying the opposite ScottMorrisonMP

remote is going to start becoming the default and as a tech librarian with a department of eight, i'll say that the first day back was a nightmare. can't wait for tomorrow.

Schools are safe they said...

Schools are safe, I cannot be any clearer than that.

GladysB I urge you to give parents a choice of keeping kids home if they are concerned. Very simple to reduce the risks of community transmission. Parents are anxious and angry. You can't treat voters as lab rats. auspol
