The Star Entertainment Group disguised $900 million worth of Chinese debit card gambling transactions as hotel expenses and then lied to banks in an attempt to conceal the massive fraud, inquiry told | @pwhatch#aubiz#casino#hearings https://t.co/gE96Iwz7Iy
NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said that while images of the large crowds concerned her, but that “in reality, outdoor environments if people are keeping away from each other, are probably the safest environments.”
The scenes on Bondi Beach of mask-less people lying around yesterday were such a slap in the face for all those doing the right thing. It’s a question of equality and perception. It’s no good telling people to do the right thing and then allow thousands to say “nah, not me.”
@BradHazzard foreshadowed a health order which will set out to employers a requirement that employees should work from home if possible.
How do hospo workers WFH??? I hope @GladysB is going to look after workers and small businesses fucked by another lockdown #nswcovid
🚨VIC acting premier James Merlino absolutely *unloading* on the fed govt not giving lockdown support:
"I am very sorry to say they have refused... the unrelenting answer has been no... I am beyond disappointed that the answer from the Prime Minister & the Treasurer has been no"
@AnnastaciaMP @Reds_Rugby@StirlHinchliffe Please allow music venues to increase their capacities. It’s insulting seeing the number of people allowed to cram into sports stadiums while we are left with half capacities and no wriggle room. Music saves people’s lives. Give it the support it deserves.
The Victorian government has not learnt too much from the way it bungled hotel quarantine last year, which is why the state has been plunged into another state-wide lockdown, according to @chrissmithonair

@GladysB when are smaller venues going to be subject to 1 per 2sq/m rule? Melbourne starts this tomorrow. Crazy we haven’t moved to this already. #nswpol
NSW Police have just announced that from midnight tonight anyone who is at a private gathering in NSW with more than 20 people is liable for a $1000 fine. Previously only the organiser of a gathering was liable to receive a fine.
In a cruel twist, the Cook family may not be eligible for any compensation for the time they spent in jail or caught in the criminal justice system. Watch a digital exclusive interview with lawyer Bryan Wrench on avenues for compensation on @9Now. https://t.co/hN0xfJY0Sv #60Mins
As Victorian lockdowns extend to 14 weeks, crushing the incomes and livelihoods of many, recall Dan Andrews' is still on over $441k a year and his 64 taxpayer funded staff (13 more than the PM) got a 2% pay rise on 1 July (to $98k to $178k, exc super).
Skin in the game?
This is what happens because you didn't implement border control before Victorian school holidays.. you had plenty of time @GladysB - NSW almost had this beat.
Pubs should be under tighter restrictions then cafes and restaurants. Pubs are much more high risk. Should be table service only and need to eat in order to get alcohol @GladysB#weak
