I like Grant Stevens .... he mostly remains calm and his messaging is consistent. He did get irate this morning when continually pressed that all people who support the Medi Hotels should be isolated. The SA police dept, to date, have been very level headed in the way they have policed restrictions. That said, I think the people who support the Medi Hotels should be tested more regularly than one week, but that is not a police decision.


In all seriousness though if we absolutely all in on ensuring public safety should people who support the Medi Hotels not also stay at the hotel for the length of their employment there. Pay them a mint like you do FIFO workers and the risk would be significantly negated.


Broader questions need to be asked about rapidly declining wage growth and increasing casualisation of workforce in recent years and why people need to work 2 or 3 insecure jobs just to put food on the table.

Priorities.

People put food on the table with their 2nd or 3rd jobs because they use their first job to go on hoildays to bail, top up the 4 gabling apps they have on their phones and the fact they buy a $4,95 take away coffee every day because it makes a good picture for their instagram feed.

Yep we all have those people at work who wear designer clothes, drinking take away coffee each day, whilst planning their 3 monthly holiday somewhere interstate or overseas then complain about not being able to pay their bills.

Agree but in this case it may not have helped much at all given the size of the family in question.

Serious in terms of people don't set their priorities or priorities have changed.

Those are just some of many examples.

Kids having their own bedrooms, wearing your siblings hand-me-downs, families eating out or getting take away several times a week instead of cooking at home. Everyone having the internet, foxtel, netflix, the latest iphone, etc.

Choosing to have these things is fine, choosing lots of them and then complaining you don't have spare money is not.

Society is changing, thats fine, but to expect to have spare money like our parents is unrealistic IMO.

I just walked there then to get some food for work and nearly passed out wearing a mask. They ******* suck. I don't know how people can wear them all day. Just breathing in hot air. They're ******* shit.

Tell that to the morons i just encountered on the road and in the supermarket.
On the way to the supermarket i passed 6 cars, all drivers alone, 4 of them wearing masks.
95% in supermarket wearing a mask. It was great, they all got out my way, had free reign everywhere i went :D
As i left, one woman nearly fell down the gutter trying to avoid me, it is ******* comical.
