Didn't they have to admit this week that their handling of the pandemic had been a complete and utter disaster, Sidney has spent 200 days in lockdown this year. There economy is on its arse and the affect on its people of locking everywhere down is massive. They have now decided to follow the British approach, ramp up vaccinations and learn to live with Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This thread…fans quoting stupidly inaccurate facts about Australia and linking them to why one of our Australian players might not want to move back there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of Australia...the East coast, is struggling yes, mainly Sydney and Melbourne, repeating myself again here in the West with over 2 million people in Perth we have been very fortunate with a stronger approach to tackling Covid, economy on its arse....again no not all,, there is talk of living with it, but to follow the British approach I very much doubt it.....the UK was way too slow to do anything to start with 18 months ago.......but we will all get through this, one way or another.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego would get in the way of admitting such a disaster, though tack has changed from the Victorian Government. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I think this is verging on needing to be moved to the Dressing Room. Which brings me to the 'Dressing Room' name, strange. Is it meant to be like an actors dressing room or a players 'changing room'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI or unless you don’t read the responses we in Western Australia do not have any Covid so the only thing we cannot do is travel overseas and over East which is a few thousand kms away. So we are living a fabulous normal life ie going to sports games with no restrictions, pubs, restaurants etc so please don’t get mixed up with Sydney or Melbourne. Plus this last weekend had the Bledisloe Cup (60,000) and are having the semifinals and Grand Final of the AFL at Perth’s Optus Stadium all because we are a Covid free state. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can’t get my head around is people in the UK are going overseas on holiday when people are dying thru Covid WTF So as far as I am concerned I would rather be healthy and safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
