The PM has mutated to the new variant - BS

Dom_Perrottet if you don’t, expect riots & chaos. Promises made are meant to be kept, regardless of changes in circumstances, men honour the commitments they make. Those that don’t are not men, & are treated as such.

Let’s hope he sticks to his guns on this decision and not backflip, but his record isn’t good.🕸

'Tell Him His Dreaming!!!' quote from the movie, The Castle.

Dom_Perrottet shouldn’t you wait for the medical study assessment due in 3 weeks?

NO!!!! Shut it all down, we cannot have one snotty nose. Have you no humanity? My ears ring when I blow my nose! That is unpleasant and I should suffer no unpleasantries without total and utter collective suffering.

It’s called political courage.

Good. Most people are vaxxed it's time to move on. Australians are sick of stop and start lives.

I agree with reopening the state to the anti-vaccine idiots. Let them out but not be allowed in any premises that do not want them and wait until the virus knocks them off. Also, any one presenting to hospital with the virus should not have medical care because of ignorance.

even when people start to die? stop the spread, stop it mutating! Dom_Perrottet GregHuntMP BradHazzard NSWHealth

Tis virus does not like arrogance .. dont forget the mistskes made by nsw earlier .

Huuu . Do whatever u do make sure that not avalanche of cases then selective lockdown and some of them r enjoying sun bath .

Can't believe him or sco mo, they lie so much.

The only sensible and logical one among them

This is the so-called Leader who will vote against the Right to Die Legislation but a coward to mandate for the protection of constituents with the arrival of the Covid Onicron strain. Bring on election so we can get rid of him

An announcement about not doing something no one would suggest he do yet. My he’s quick off the mark. Omicron LNPfail

He knows he’ll never be anything other than the cleaner at nsw parliament if he goes against what he’s said. Political s u i c i d e

Xi Variant actually !

He couldn’t care less about people health or the hospitals all he cares about is the economy. Don’t be surprised if NSW ends up back where we were in lockdown cause this one doesn’t take Covid seriously.

Dope yet another unwanted gift from the people of NSW to the rest of the nation. Right when we think it cant get any worse Ta Dah

Is that driving blind😎

Perrottet is right on this. - Our forebears lived with restrictions on daily life for 4 years of WWI & 6 years of WWII - yet less than 2 years of intermittent restrictions & modern society is in meltdown. What a bunch of snowflakes. Time to open up & move forward as best we can

No more fucking lock downs

its funny a month ago china went into lockdown again from new virus millions of people locked down and yet we stop flights from Africa only.

mbridget21 Just keep those f***ing borders open. We’ve been trapped on this shit hole island for too long.

The day that the WHO organisation declares the pandemic is over, is the day i will stop wearing a mask, stop being cautious, social distance etc. Pandemic isnt over it has just begun.

We will ignore the fact that china, israel, netherlands, germany and many other potential countries may have this new variant already. We will just let them all in with false PCR negative tests and no quarantine it will be great for Australian economy.

So ignore all health advice and just do what you want because you think what you believe trumps reality.

Good! Finally someone with common sense.

He's reckless with people's health.

we have an adult as a Premier. Time to keep borders open and rely on our vaccination and health expertise. No need to go back to hotel quarantine which didn't work anyway

Courageous decision by the Parrot.

The only sane one from the whole lot !!

I bet…. And they will let this bastard in for their removalists to deliver it to Victoria and the rest of Australia. Again!

The strains are seemingly getting milder but the fear porn gets stronger.

Saved.

World races to contain new COVID-19 variant OmicronSeveral European nations have announced the first cases of Omicron, as governments worldwide began pulling down the shutters to contain the new variant. This is some shoddy reporting. Omicron hasn't yet been *proven* to be more transmissible than delta. In fact, every expert is making it painfully clear that as of right now we just don't know enough to make conclusive statements on it at all. Aussie media is a shitshow...

Positive COVID-19 case in NT assessed to rule out Omicron variantThe Northern Territory records two new COVID-19 cases, one an arrival on a repatriation flight from South Africa where the new and heavily mutated Omicron variant has been detected. How the hell did they have technical evidence of the so called virus on hand to check I don't think they have any more than the normal virus identity for influenzas that the COVID-19 is said to be by the real experts.
