Not surprised again , the guards hired dont know what they are doing , they dont wear the right gear , they think being a guard is just stand their and when finished collect your pay check .

It’s not the fault of the premier MarkMcGowanMP , it’s the incompetence of the LiberalAus and ScottMorrisonMP for not taking federal responsibility for quarantine. They will politicise this and use it to their own devices. AustralianLabor

Wasn't McGowan saying last week WA have the BEST HQ in Australia......... Yeah right!!!

As at April 29, 2021 4:36 pm 8,430 DEAD 354,177 Injuries: Database of Vaccine Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines” More Deaths in the past 3 months than the last 15 Years from Vaccines World Wide ,,, Look it up Guys !!!

Yes after the 'derby' there will be a lockdown. Now sports and politics run the country.

Time for the federal government to take control, its not working.

McGowan had one shot in the locker. Close external and internal borders down. A smug attitude didn't forsee the inevitable nor planning for it.

The guard shared a house with 7 other people and 2 visitors and has been positive with the virus since early in the week. 10 people in 1 house? Why aren't these guards residing in the hotel? He's happy to share a house with 9 other people so why not share room. Cheap and safe

Just end hotel quarantine now.

Letting in people from the usa and Indonesia? How did they get through the airport. Were they jabbed before flying? WTF is going through the minds of the govt? Yet again quarantine guards are the ones that are spreading the virus The stupidity just beggars belief

Ugh!

The supposed health experts are idiots. Sack them. If we had this many prison breakouts then heads would roll.

Very positive! Great news

Where are the people coming from who are in that hotel, China ? We have a right to be told

Why weren't we testing daily, as the government said we were after the Feb lockdown? That's what shits me. This should have been picked up 4 days ago.

The halo is well and truly slipping matey.

Time to get everyone out into a purposely built facility

Can still go to the footy however. So soon after giving ANZAC ceremonies the boot. Good to see where the priorities are.

Finally, a positive news story...err😔

Better not slap a lock down on tomorrow, I've got a few tinder r00ts lined up after a Sunday sesh.

Shut the borders Gladys

and how he caught it is a mystery. and how he caught it while vaccinated. aerosol OR exchange of a virtual viron particle take your pick

Glaven1994 20 April 2021: 'New Zealand authorities reported on Tuesday (Apr 20) that a worker in Auckland airport has tested positive for COVID-19, but doubted whether the new case would warrant ordering a pause in quarantine-free travel with Australia.'
