@BBCBreaking How does the 'vaccination exemption' criteria used by the medical panels of Tennis Australia to allow Djokovic to play, differ from ABF's criteria? Why are they different?

We've been trying to return some faulty furniture to Freedom for over 3 weeks. The buying experience was lovely. After-sales - the true test of service - has been absolutely terrible. Buyer beware! @Freedom_Au

Due to the Victoria Covid lockdown, we've just had to cancel an AirBnB booking. Their small print says we lose over 50% of the full cost. Hotels are offering 100% refunds. Caveat emptor when using #AirBnB everyone

@SamScerni @MarkMcGowanMP Sam, I see that they are doing exactly that for citizens returning from India - quarantining them at Howard Springs in NT. Hopefully they can quarantine more international arrivals away from our cities in the future...

None of our typeforms are loading on Version 44 of Edge. Problem started about 24 hours ago. Suspect a recent @typeform release is the culprit. Anyone else having this problem with #typeform?

My package just took #fastwaycouriers 13 days to get from NSW to Perth. No wonder they've just renamed themselves to @aramex. The one thing the corporate rebranding team all agreed on was that "fast" was putting them at risk from the ACCC. PS Choose your couriers wisely @BIGW

@WAHealth Bit of a shambles at the Claremont Showgrounds COVID-19 testing site today. Once in Gate 6, there's no signage (hard to find). Tester didn't say I had to isolate until results (everyone should be told this). And results might not be available until Monday (way too slow)

@migga Blimey. How unlucky must you be to fly home from a COVID-19 hotspot, only to catch it from HQ in a country where there's no COVID in the community?! #COVID19Aus

[Dave O'Reardon @dave_oreardon]

Our only coronavirus risk now comes from returned travellers. It's appalling that we still don't have a national quarantine standard & that learnings from Vic haven't been applied in all states #COVID19Aus

@QldProgressive @KrispyOz31 @MarkMcGowanMP "Testing rates are very low compaired to other States and Territories". That's not true Ken. Test results over last day:
Victoria - 8,480
NSW - 6,686
Queensland - 5,785
WA - 16,490
SA - 3,110
ACT - 889

@MarkMcGowanMP @covidliveau I support the WA lockdown but think it's poor for any state not to have fully implemented the lessons from Vic. Which of these did WA have in place last week? Daily PCR tests for QH workers? No. QH workers only have 1 job? No. Consistent use of PPE for QH workers? Doubtful

@PerthSmokie @MarkMcGowanMP "The only state not to do sewage testing".
Not true. WA has been testing sewage since early November. https://t.co/7OO1BaoybK

@Jan__Fran "Anyone have some solid tips on getting through the next fortnight?".

Feeling smug that you don't have to isolate while having to care for bored, restless, squabbling children

@GregoryJaySea @abcnews "And after all that money spent on the very latest fax machine technology?"

That new fax tech was a signficant upgrade on the carrier pigeons used up until that point

[Dave O'Reardon @dave_oreardon]

@migga @NSWHealth You're probably right anyway. That excellent NSW report you shared showed about 1% of arrivals test +ve. Latest estimates for USA are 3% of population.
