FakeNewsMedia bullshit oxygenthiefs MarkMcGowanMP HAS NOT OPENED the borders to visitors The gtg borderpass is still required. Just visiting is not a valid reason to bypass the Covid_19 borderclosures

My understanding is that these new restrictions are for people who qualify for exemptions so FIFO, medical, agricultural workers, carers etc. Not for the average holiday maker from the Eastern States. Please correct me if I’m wrong

Doesn’t change anything you still need a exemption the only difference is you can Quarantine at home not in a hotel , if my understanding is correct 🤔

🤣🙄

WA cargo ship coronavirus cluster grows to 17 | Sky News AustraliaA cargo ship anchored off the coast of the Pilbara region in Western Australia has reported eight new positive coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, taking the total number in the cluster to 17. \n\nThe Patricia Oldendorff arrived from Manila last week, with 10 infected crew members now in hotel quarantine and only seven left on board the vessel. \n\nTwo of the crew members were being tested to see if they previously contracted the virus. \n\nDr Tudor Codreanu – from the WA Medical Assistance Team (WAMAT) – said it would be “reassuring” if the serology test results were positive as it would mean there were some able-bodied sailors who could manage the situation. \n\nThe ship was in need of nine sailors, as 13 were required to effectively run the vessel. \n\nDr Codreanu reassured the public the cluster did not put the wider community at risk of infection. \n\n which means nothing if nobody is sick they'll be fine. bored though Thought mark was keeping them safe with iron boarders Oh that’s right international ships are essential services wtf And the ccp can fly in and out of Merredin unchecked wa no different to Victoria 👎👎👎 sack and Jail these puppet premieres

Qld borders have no 'epidemiological reason' to remain closed with NSW: Hunt | Sky News AustraliaHealth Minister Greg Hunt says there is no epidemiological reason for border closures to remain in place between New South Wales and Queensland as both states continue to record almost zero new cases. \n\n“It is almost at a continuous zero … we need to be vigilant but NSW has been a model in terms of its outcome, as has Queensland,” he told Sky News. \n\n“We don’t see that there are any Commonwealth barriers, we don’t see that there’s an epidemiological reason for any border between those two states.\n\n“Outside of Victoria we don’t see that there is a basis for any border restrictions in Australia on epidemiology or health grounds.” \n\nMr Hunt said he understood some states would want to keep their borders closed to Victoria while the southern state fought to bring the virus under control. \n\n“But in time, very soon, we think there won’t be any basis for any domestic borders in Australia,” he said. \n\n“We think that the epidemiology in the country is so strong now that it’s a COVIDsafe country.” \n GregHuntMP 😂 GregHuntMP Hope people get effective and affordable prevention and treatment. Some politicians and greedy pharmaceutical giants are deadlier than Covid19 ! HCQ Hydroxychloroquine GregHuntMP And what about all another bullshit reasons for locking down Victoria and banning hydroxichloroquine GregHuntMP
