@MichaelHaines20@glen_gleeson@saint_ted3@DanielAndrewsMP So do we still think 20days with no cases is not indicative of a change in how many test cycles are being done now?
Even NZ is having community cases.
There is a 6 day lockdown in SA, with extra restrictions that will extend out another 8 days.
@MichaelHaines20@glen_gleeson@saint_ted3@DanielAndrewsMP Do you understand how the PCR Test with, and how they run it through "cycles"?
The number of cycles has changed - it is the only parameter that could change.
So every breath while wearing a mask - where does the air go - a % goes back up the nose. Not very healthy.
@MichaelHaines20@glen_gleeson@saint_ted3@DanielAndrewsMP Actually testing is important to know how much virus there actually is in the community.
So to change the parameters used in testing is important.
How many other issues are being caused by the extended mask wearing?
@MichaelHaines20@glen_gleeson@saint_ted3@DanielAndrewsMP Actually I would like to see any other jurisdiction that has all of a sudden had so many zero days? Cannot find one ANYWHERE (after a month earlier having >10 days).
What changed in the testing process?
Something has...
@FraseCameron @rieu_anna @PB_0884 @VicGovDHHS @DanielAndrewsMP@VictorianCHO Is this such a positive result - all the zeroes?
Can you find another jurisdiction that has had a similar outcome - and not a longer single digit tailing of numbers?
Perhaps they have changed the number of cycles they do of PCR Tests in the last 2 weeks?
@GumLeafWhistler @ODonohueMLC @theheraldsun This is more complicated than you would like to suggest.
Is it OK to make curfews a reasonable response?
It was not part of a Health Response.
The Government enacted a State of Disaster on 2nd August.
Under that SoD they made VicPol and PSO, Authorised Offices - no health exp.
@TheraseWeeks@woodyjohn1@SkyNewsAust And the only way apparently we could fix it, was heavy handed police, and using Acts of Parliament in a way they were not designed to be used.
Is it OK that VicPol and PSO were made Authorised Officers under the Health Emergency Act?
Few of them would have any health expertise.
@woodyjohn1@TheraseWeeks@SkyNewsAust If you truly think everything has been exposed - you apparently are not keeping up.
There are many more things still to come.
If you just watch Sky - you are missing things.
@TheraseWeeks@woodyjohn1@SkyNewsAust The creeping assumption?
That was over a month ago - and since then Eccles resigned, multiple people have provided phone records and a few extra affidavits requested.
Is it OK that a public servant signs a contract on behalf of a minister or secretary?? No way.
@Phil_B7@theheraldsun That already exists - the Aged Care Royal Commission.
It does not explain the fact that processes were not very different across the various hotels.
Rydges was a HOT Hotel - where those who tested positive and those with symptoms were housed. Quarantine should have mattered more
@smbounds I agree.
Perhaps it is also important to consider whether a State of Disaster could or should be made when there is a State of (Health) Emergency.
The curfew only existed for all because they enacted a SoD, which confers powers to Police Minister - way more those of the CHO.
@mediawatcher83 What is democracy?
If you think the curfew was democratic - you did not watch any of the evidence.
2nd August State of Disaster enacted.
Provides Police Minister with the ability to suspend acts of parliament.
Curfew starts thereafter.
Democratic?
@JustMe4Now0 The judge can only make a judgment on the evidence he is provided.
The Plaintiff should have had her own medical expert.
AND
They should have twigged on how the State of Disaster impacted the case.
@ScallywagRay@OzraeliAvi@ato_gov_au@ASIC_Connect So (as has occurred) the Police Minister being able to make ALL Police Officers and PSO's - Authorised Officers under the Health Emergency Act - does not concern you?
The majority would have zero health expertise.
You understand the risk behind "absolute power"?
@ScallywagRay@OzraeliAvi@ato_gov_au@ASIC_Connect Did you watch any of the Lioelo case?
If you didnt, then you need to read the full judgement.
If it does not scare you what a govt can do with "emergency powers" consider if it was the opposite political party.
@RhoBeta1@jaquix173 And Ed O'Donohue.
Surprise, surprise.
He is a member for Eastern Victoria.
Where does that cover?
Oh my - it includes the Peninsula.
@RhoBeta1@jaquix173 So Michelle's business is in Greg Hunt's Flinders electorate.
Just shows he supports a range of businesses in his constituency.
Do you have a pic of ScoMo at the restaurant - I would doubt it.
@ScallywagRay@OzraeliAvi@ato_gov_au@ASIC_Connect The Lioelo vs Giles is a different case to the Avi of Rebel News case.
Can see how someone just watching headlines could make the mistake though.
