Mr Wilkshire claims that for the entire period, no matter his responsibilities, he was paid as a 'level 1' casual employee. "The problem is that all of us, no matter our role, were paid as level 1 casual retail employees — even some of the butchers, which made no sense whatsoever," he said.

Victoria records 392 new COVID-19 cases as regional train services impactedThere are 392 new COVID-19 cases in Victoria, with 107 infections linked to current outbreaks and 285 still under investigation. ...and of the people with full-blown infections, at minimum, 98%-99% will recover and attain natural immunity to the contracted strain, and perhaps other sub-strains. The human immune system certainly is a wonderful thing! Israel started 3rd, 4th jabs! Two jabs failed? Two jabs didn’t work? Instead of telling people failure, people are told to have booster jabs, till death! Pickpockets under the name of saving life! depopulation through vaccination!
