Lockdown really Or was it just an extended hangover?

“Emerges” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Would be interesting to know the stats on suicides, self harm, domestic abuse etc. during this 5 day lock down.

Locked down for nothing... does everyone want to be as twitchy as Victoria?!

They have an hysterical and impulsive premier, who apparently cannot manage or understand risk and who loses his nerve much too easily to be a leader.

Again with the anxiety, it's a covid case, simp really. ABCaustralia

Where is the TGA? It’s become an international disgrace that we are alone in not having started our vaccination program. The TGA is arrogant and sclerotic and is harming this country by its dilatory process.

In other words, 5 day of disgraceful tyranny literally for NOTHING only because the crazy state is run by criminals that should be in prison. Period.

WA expands Queensland border controls amid second COVID-19 caseAll travellers arriving in Western Australia from Queensland must be tested for COVID-19 and self-quarantine for 14 days or until they return a negative test, the state government announces. Massive overreaction by Western Australia & Victoria. Look, I get that these things are in place to protect people but there are times where the reaction to it is way over the top & this is one of those times. Even if they've been vaccinated? Why would anyone bother planning any interstate travel at the moment
