How does it work if you live a non hotspot but work in a hotspot. Surely that wouldn’t spread the virus
We need to get Palaszczuk off her power trip. She has completely stuffed up when it comes to compassion and empathy. But you're AOK if you play AFL or make movies.
Nationally,what a great idea. we don't need inept bullying state governments for consistent national solution which benefit all Australians. Close down these wasteful colonial governments, we're All Australians.
She’s not the only one, this is happening to plenty of people. Individuals do not surpass the whole. Let us be compassionate, but let us be careful not to slip into selfishness also...

AstraZeneca suspends trials of COVID-19 vaccine | Sky News AustraliaPharmaceutical company AstraZeneca has suspended its COVID-19 vaccine trial after a participant suffered an adverse reaction, casting doubts on whether the vaccine would be ready by early next year.\n\nSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said it was 'pretty optimistic' to suggest a COVID-19 vaccine would be ready by 'early next year'.\n\n“I was surprised that Scott Morrison and Greg Hunt were so definitive the other day,” he said.\n\nMr Clennell pointed out the statement from Astra Zeneca “doesn’t even definitively say the illness from the person in the trial was related to the trial” but said he had always thought the development of a vaccine would take 2-3 years.\n\n“I guess I saw this coming,” he said.\n\nHe said while it was important for the Morrison government to give people hope, the public would not be overly kind if the Prime Minister “overpromises and under-delivers”.\n\nThe federal government sealed a deal to ensure priority access to an Oxford University developed trial vaccine which would be manufactured in Melbourne and distributed by AstraZeneca as part of its $1.7 billion commitment.\n\n aclennell I'm just sitting around like aclennell Is this the company using aborted babies? aclennell We need more info. People have ‘adverse reactions’ to flu injections.

Pausing of COVID vaccine trial may have been caused by a ‘completely unrelated event’ | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Dr Katie Allen has told Sky News, the event which triggered the temporary suspension of the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine trial may be “completely unrelated” to the vaccine itself.\n\nPharmaceutical company AstraZeneca has suspended its COVID-19 vaccine trial after a participant suffered an adverse reaction, casting doubts on whether the vaccine would be ready by early next year.\n\nDr Allen said it is very encouraging Oxford and AstraZeneca are being cautious as “safety comes first”.\n\nHowever, she said it is still unclear as to whether the participant received the placebo or the vaccine.\n\n“It still could go ahead, it just means they’ve paused it because they need to have a look to see whether this single case is really a problem or not,” she said.\n\n“An event may or may not be related to the vaccine.\n\n“If it’s an unrelated event, and it’s regarded as not related to the vaccine, then the vaccine trial will be able to continue safely.”\n\nImage: AP KatieAllenMP How good's an announcement! What an absolute failure this government is. Scomo will be remembered for 2 things; 1 Ruining his pants in Engadine 2 Ruining Australia KatieAllenMP well, yeah - but that's true. That's why it's suspended not terminated. They suspend trials if there is an adverse event, suss it out and move on if the event is likely not related to the experimental treatment. This is normal. It's also got stuff all to do with Morisson KatieAllenMP MAYBE what a word
