More diatribe.

No. Just cold hard mass graves.

I can't believe you put up a picture of some steel drains and said they're mass graves. You're unbelievable.

Whoever decided this woman could come back from Victoria after only 7 days in quarantine needs to get the sack at least.
What a ******* disgraceful decision by some dickhead.

Hmmm even NSW insisted the well publicised lady that came from NZ to spend the last days with her terminally ill sister in regional NSW had to spend 14 days in a Sydney hotel before travelling to her

[Jimmy_041]

South Australia has recorded its first new coronavirus case in 18 days, breaking the state’s streak without active cases.

The woman in her 50s had recently arrived from overseas and had been quarantining in a Victorian hotel.

She had flown into South Australia and was exempt from the state’s 14-day compulsory self-isolation for compassionate reasons.

SA Health says she has very mild symptoms and is now self-isolating.

A good lesson if we intend to open the borders. NO-ONE is exempt.

Better that a few get inconvenienced than all of us.
I have to go back to Sydney in the next month or so. I'll expect to isolate there for 14 days (happy to do it so I don't catch it there!) and then 14 days back here if I come back. Is The Adelaide Club a designated ISO spot?

Incorrect, again. Potshots because you want to criticize someone for posting stats that don't fit your critrea. Nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing, a fair bit to do with respect.

From the WA Premier and sounds like ABF got this one majorly wrong


We had hoped today we would be able to announce another day of zero COVID-19 cases, after the four we recorded yesterday.

Unfortunately, instead I have some serious news to outline. So please bear with me.

There is currently a situation evolving as we speak at Fremantle Port regarding a live export ship – the Al Kuwait - that docked at Fremantle Port last Friday, the 22nd of May.

The Al Kuwait departed United Arab Emirates on the 7th of May, with a total of 48 crew on board.

This morning, seven crew members were tested for COVID-19.

Six have tested positive – all males – and are now being moved off the ship to a Perth hotel for quarantine.

This is a fast evolving situation today, involving WA Health, WA Police, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and Fremantle Port as well as Border Force and Australian Maritime Safety Authority. For the time being, the remaining 42 crew members, who I am advised are currently ‘well’, will remain on board the ship and will be monitored and undergo health assessments as required. But I suspect it is more than likely that more crew members may also become infected.

This is an extremely concerning situation that we find ourselves in.But because of the work of all Western Australians, we are in the best possible position to deal with this type of situation. We flattened the curve of COVID-19, we significantly reduced any community spread of the virus and our hospital system is well prepared. A WA Health team is on board the ship to further assess the crew and provide advice around health and infection control going forward.

I know many of you will have questions – just like I had when this first came to my attention today. Straight away I had thoughts of the cruise ship saga, and I thought these kind of situations were behind us. It goes to show that strong border controls are important as we continue to handle this worldwide health crisis. Now, I will just explain how we got to this point, based on a briefing I have received.

I’m advised the ship was granted permission to enter the Port of Fremantle by the Federal Government – through the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture on the 20th of May. At that time, the pre-arrival report that was lodged by the ship reported three crew members with elevated temperatures. On the 22nd of May, the ship provided an updated report to the Australian Border Force which included one crew member with a high temperature, plus three showing similar symptoms in last the 15 days.

This was when final clearance was provided by the Commonwealth for the ship to berth. At this point, the Fremantle Port Authority was not made aware of the health concerns.

A Fremantle Port worker, wearing PPE – went on board on the 22nd to help steer the ship into a berth at the Port – as per usual process. This person and any relevant close contacts are now in isolation. it wasn’t until Sunday evening, that the Fremantle Port Authority learnt of some health issues on the ship. This came by word of mouth from another worker at the port - and the information was then reported through the usual channels. And now we find ourselves in this situation, which we are working as quickly as possible to get to the bottom of.

Clearly, this is not good. We want to get to a resolution as soon as possible, so the ship is in a position to leave our port. The Police Commissioner has reached out the Australian Border Forcer Commissioner and the Federal Department of Agriculture to try and get an understanding as to why the ship was allowed to berth at our port. it was intended that live sheep be loaded onto the ship in coming days, before departing before the Federal Government’s 1 June mandatory three-month live export pause comes into effect.
The ship was due to export 56,000 sheep to Kuwait and the UAE. All of these sheep are currently being held in a feedlot in Baldivis and will not be able to return to farm due to biosecurity regulations.

This is a live situation that we are working on with the Federal Government and the exporter. I want to stress that we are well prepared for this situation, and have strong processes in place to manage all crew members.

We will continue to do everything we can to protect Western Australians, and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our State.

UPDATE: The woman is not an Australian resident, and had been allowed into SA on compassionate grounds. Arriving from Victoria on the weekend, tested on arrival and taken to an undisclosed isolation facility

I thought the borders were still shut to international arrivals?

If they're coming from Victoria, why the **** didn't she get tested in Victoria before coming here?

It's just a flu mate, take it easy.

Plain old influenza doesn't shut all the pubs!

I notice Marshall isn't at the press conference, I don't blame him too. He'd be furious.
The conversation would have gone something along the lines of "your ******* department ****** this up, you can talk to the media".

That wasn't criticism lol.

[Corona Man]

So if it wasn’t criticism what was it?

I think it was being a smart ass, and taking cheap pot shots as you’ve nothing else to offer... a bit like a Selwood knees buckling when he feels the tackle coming.... weak as pi55!

@Lightning McQueen the Reepham front bar is opening next Monday! I bet Balf is lining up now!

The Royal is opening up the Front Bar too, so me and the missus are set!
