I'm in WA and I'm skipping out on social functions to minimise risk despite no community cases. The truck drivers in the community is more than enough of a scare for me. 9 sites, 150+ close and casual contacts.
A lot of people cancelling Xmas parties today to avoid catching Rona and getting caught up in travel restrictions ruining family holiday plans. Not sure the lobbyists thought that part through…
@whereisdaz Yes, a lot of friends and acquaintances in other states are cancelling pre-Christmas events or having to iso. For all that McGowan is mocked by other states for keeping borders closed until Feb, it is nice getting Christmas and NY celebrations in (hopefully) before Rona hits WA.
Broome ABC office this morning: anti vax protesters fire off air horns, mega phones, shout, faces pushed up against the glass. Inside staff working overtime to provide emergency bushfire warnings as fire threatens homes just outside town.
Embarrassing and preposterous!
If your pronunciation of Fok Hing Gin comes out sounding like Fucking Gin then you've mispronounced it from the get go. Ruling the name of a Hong Kong street as being offensive is culturally insensitive and awful.

A few paediatricians argue that kids don't need vax cos covid is "mostly mild".
BUT nearly all diseases that we vax for are mild for most kids.
Get out of the way & let us protect the little ones, esp those with underlying medical problems, who are just as deserving as anyone.
Hey WA remember how the men in government cut the pay of female rape response doctors at SARC?
The Industrial Relations Commission said that was the wrong thing to do and overturned the decision.
Why do men of government do this & fight the decision in the Commission?
My sincere condolences to @Russell_Woolf's family and the @abcperth team.
I am so sad. No longer will my mornings be filled with a gentle warmth and humour as I get ready for the day.
People talk a lot of crap about scientists not being able to communicate their work. I interview climate researchers day in/day out, and their explanations are almost always lucid and concise. Corporate and finance ppl, on the other hand, spout absolute unholy _gibberish_ at me
@IngridHarrison@paulmp What a disgusting thing to say.
Nothing better to do does not automatically lead to criminal activity.
I've lived in places with less community activities and events than Perth and they were not filled with crime.
Does anyone know if there is an overseeing ombudsman for IVF or assisted reproductive technologies?
I'm asking for me.
I can't even make up the crap that has happened.

This is appalling, incendiary and heartless comment from Vic president of the AMA.
How about we try to engage communities who are vulnerable to conspiracy beliefs and address the deliberate spread of disinformation by sections of the Murdoch media before we condemn people to die
Fatalistic covid minimising conflicted interest ‘experts’ & journos with influence - stop pretending it is ok for kids to get covid just because nearly all of them dont die from it.
They have more years than anyone at risk for disability.
