live blog for Friday, August 20, 2021. Victoria has recorded 55 new local virus cases as the Melbourne outbreak grows.
The NSW Government has flagged an easing of some lockdown restrictions within weeks. People who need to leave Sydney must apply for new permit. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will be made available to all Australians aged 16-39 at the end of the month.
No shit Sherlock! Took you this long to figure that out 🤣
Just wanted to add again ,could we please include pensioners and disability pensioner further funds , we are essential citizens , and have shaped this state and essentially worked hard for years , and are doing it touch, please help us ScottMorrisonMP GladysB JoshFrydenberg
I get it, but even another year won't make it 'forever'. Why do we have to be rushed? See how it's going in th UK for instance. And wit til their winter comes....
When will Australia open its borders ? Will it ever ?
Probably the most sense anyone has spoken
jascooke9 New Zealand did it, you're just a bigger island
I wish he was our prime minister.
If people comply with roles there qont be an outbreak nor lockdown, the problem is ignorant people not the lockdowns. I wonder how you are representing a group of societ when you are lacking the understanding of this concept.
This catastrophic disaster belongs to the LNP and their dereliction of duty of care
Yeah England’s down to near 100 deaths a day. Australia is still fighting for vaccines which can take months between first and second doses. But I’m sure the Donors are vaccinated and Impatient.
Thanks to GladysClusterFukup GladysFail ScottyTooLate ScottyDoesNothing GladysResign
No. The situation in the US and UK is not our NSW residents respect. Singapore is where we need to learn as they decrease positive case from 200 to 20 in last two weeks. So the COVID 19 can be controlled if our government wants to and impose the restricts and rules strictly.
Wouldn't be locking down if you could implement a vaccine rollout 🥜🥜
What about your vaccine rollout 🥜
I s'pose anyone can have an opinion.
Moron. Not him or his own in the statements. This person is not a person. More a humanoid powered by opinion polls.
How many deaths per 100 are going to be acceptable? Do we get to pick which family members die? I’ve already lost both my parents to covid. It’s easy to say ‘a few will die’ coz that’s a coward’s way.
Good move! These lockdowns will kill more people than any virus.
Is Frydenburg happy to live with COVID if one of his loved ones die ?
Let death creep up to his door. All very well for these privileged people in their own kingdom to say that there will be deaths! bet you don't feel that mouthy when death has taken from you. It HURTS! These politicians have no idea of the way constituents in real world live.
Change the boss
The rest of the world's been doing just that for more than one year 😂
No shit Sherlock, maybe pass that onto the premiers & CMO’s.
Can we sack this government and move on. Need some leadership since about a year and a half ago. Plent time to have it right and we don’t….get out of my face SloMo!
Finally some sense
People die every day, like the poor family in Melbourne today in the car fire. Covid deaths are no more important than any other. People are born and they die, me and you included.
Spot on Josh!
I think he is correct I have a glue vaccine every year all I can Joie for is that when I get whatever strain of the glue is going around the affects are manageable
What they want is stuff you Ozzie, let's open up to the world and import the disease more
true
theres an einstein for you!
Well stand up to the Premiers mate.
Vaccinate ever child first JoshFrydenberg
Asim7073
Ah, shuddup JudasFraudenberg 🤥 lol
Finally. Let’s see if they stick to their guns at 70-80% vax.
check out
9NewsMelb You will achieve your target of vaccination in next 40/45 days.. Then you should allow fully vaxxed people to visit australia And you should give exemption to any student or visa holder to visit out and come back against critical condition of family member
Finally a sensible voice from government
9NewsMelb Thanks for your good words sir We have to live with it... Join the world.. Vaccinate your people .. And give them normal life You should allow fully vaxxed people to enter Australia with Quarantine terms..from oct... And give exemption to any visa holder for any emergency
9NewsMelb Lock down is neccessary for some time to stop spreading virus .. But you cant accept it as your parmanent life.. People will be mentally sick and depressed .. You have to see the world and learn how to live with this.. You are absolutely right sir ..
Hey treasurer are you saying this to promote Gladys’s bad behaviour and getting COVID situation out of control. No we do not need zero but we need to look after our vulnerable community and elders.
Finally someone with commonsense
You can get vaccinated and get a booster of any vaccine in relation to Covid but people out there are still dying from covid even though they have vaccinated. The Delta strain in now affecting children. I don't think enough testing was done on this vaccines prior to being used.
Our collective policy should be LNP Zero and do our best to minimise the virus.
Its btr to get ur natural immunity against virus plus get your vaccination. sinple lockdown is not a solution at all
Word for word from Virgin CEO. JoshFrydenberg plays tennis with psychopath Jayne Hrdlicka “some people may die…” & he’s now trashing a world leading ZeroCovid Aust economy for Qantas & Virgin greed & to infect Aust’s children!! FFS!! CovidIsNotOver UK’s COVID19 total FAIL!!
Finally, some sense
zaiaalex Cattagio
Too late to say this !! Already so many businesses lost there space !
Did u just wake up, mate? 😂🙄
He’s correct,50 years of visible deadly illegal drugs haven’t been eradicated.The real danger is living around people that stupid to believe a highly invisible virus can disappear.
The smartest thing said lately
Absolutely true. Open everything, open border
9NewsMelb Another distraction from ScottMorrisonMP abject failure to protect the people. Once the Morrison virus is eliminated, we’ll all be much better off.
He's right, The virus is never going to go away it has spread completely around the world that its impossible to contain. If China acted early on the virus when it broke out in Wuhan then we wouldn't be dealing with this issue, China should pay reparations to the entire World!
Yes loud and clear you have to live with the virus. Lockdowns not the solution
It's a shame he didn't say their message was 'we'll engage closely with our world class experts to make sure we minimise the harm when we ease restrictions'
No shit!!! Should have dug your heals in and stuck to that narrative 18 months ago. Weak as water! Feds weak , can’t stand up the the bullying of the states 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Make him PM! Someone that talks some sense!
Was he crying before coming to the conference?
What I want is to live with LNP
About time someone spoke some sence. 👏👏👏
Finally our politicians are talking sense
9NewsMelb I agree ,get vaccinated then open up virus not going away .
I am curious farrenray1 who in your family are you willing to sacrifice? Pls name who? Granny? Your mum? Wife? Who do you think?
Actually , U can eliminate DELTA, QLD, WA, SA, NT, TAS, have done so , every outbreak they have had has come from NSW's leaky SOFT LK DN & leaky state borders. Thinking we can live w/ DELTA is being delusional & worse morally bankrupt & callous & will prove costly
A LOTS SELFISH COVIDIOTS responding there , thanks Josh, you just threw petrol on the flames of the COVIDIOT/QAnon/ULTRALIBERIAN causes and likely have just through your words extended the NSW DELTA WAVE by several weeks because they'll take your words as tacid approval . :(
His shit himself after Sydney’s Lockdown.
9NewsMelb So he understood this thing after wasting one and a half year of everyone ? Last year when WHO said that the world will have to live with the virus, why the morrison govt didnt get that ? Kept the borders closed for 18 months and now he's tryin to be a hero by saying that ?
Actually Josh , the states have LITTLE- ZERO CHOICE bCAUSE uR GOVT has FUCKED UP ROYALLY W/ the SUPPLY OF VAXES & the ROLLOUT. So REMEMBER the NEXT STATE & FED ELECTIONS his willingness 2 use uR LIVELIHOODS and uR CHILDREN as WEAPONS AGAINST PREMIERS WHO r TRYING 2 PROT u.
9NewsPerth Somebody tell Genghis McGowan!
Thanks mate
It’s about time
Wow a politician with logic and a spine … congrats
Fact then vaccine passports are a waste of time and money and will only cause conflict. Maybe even war!
Josh just worked that out? Why are you telling us what we already know and offer no solutions?
9NewsQueensland About Freakin time……!
He is goddamn right So why these suckers are seprating families from each other and international students rights to study
Not in the premiers and their CFO’S motto
Do your job in the first place and give people the vacation on time maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation if you did your job.
Agreed! Australia has experienced worse and will again. Let’s pull together and get on with our lives!
Ye Josh. Tell all state fucwits premiers. Exactly right. We hv to live with and go in with life. To stay in lockdown with no life and struggling to get by might as well be death.
Fuck your smart
Open it up then
Amen
9NewsQueensland Yeah we can get rid of the virus.. at the next election… SloMoScoMo
I’m not willing to risk the lives of my unvaccinated children. Are you Mr Frydenberg? Had your government done it’s job securing vaccines earlier we could be in a position to open up.
Its about time!
Some common sense at last.
9NewsPerth One shit state’s decision and this is what they come out with…
What took this long to figure this out ?
9NewsPerth Could someone let Mark McGowan know this? He’s indicated that he wants to keep us locked in for ever
Someone that's actually making sense!!!
You can’t eliminate anything with a half assed effort!
Love this. Let's move 👏
I'll just leave this here:
Finally someone that makes sense. Just let us all move on with our lives. If you are worried get vaccinated if not that’s your problem. We can’t keep doing this.
At least, one politician talking sense. State premiers need to live in reality than zero obsession.
9NewsMelb Everyone that wants out of lockdown should understand what life will be if at least 80% vax … seriously mental health won’t be good watching people die! Businesses want make profits if all workers are sick!! The ones that say only a few will die … you put up your loved ones!
9NewsAdel JBahouche smartest thing anyone has said lol
Stop putting the unreasonable over earnings of you’re rich billionaire mates first; the people of Australia must come ahead of money.
9NewsPerth Government can't control a virus like they can control a human being... so they just surrender
Are you listening Mark McGowan?
9NewsMelb Then why are we locked down now. If u think this open up today? Dont keep us locked up going broke
9NewsMelb Get your mate Scotty to get more vaccines then!!!!!!!
9NewsMelb Take charge of your country!!! State leaders have lost the plot!!!!!
9NewsMelb Ok Open the borders and let us see our families and friends no one said we want to live in lockdown forever.
9NewsMelb tell dan the man that
Like they ever had a discussion of eliminating virus. Isn’t suppress virus a strategy from day 1 ? Isn’t suppress virus so our health system will not be exhausted our goal. Seems our health system is on the edge of collapse. Not a good time to bring up living with COVID
Pin finally dropped after 2 years..oh I forgot its Slo-mo, everything is in slow motion
Noone cared about Flu cases which was in the thousands.. but non existent this year. Once we are at herd immunity, this the right thing to do.
They are better than you guys.
Thresh!! ..tackle two ledys ''They Gou..to..Dy..'..& 2 of 10.. .best famous Yiu stey Mr.Pride .wheeeel...hepoy meryd
9NewsSyd better late than never
A man who reasons that because the government has failed federally and in NSW it’s enough to stop trying, further proof that muppets have taken control of the theatre 😎
9NewsSyd When I got my second shot I asked if this will be a yearly thing and the woman said she thought it would become like the flu shot . If this is the case then the sooner everyone gets vaccinated the sooner we get back to normal. Lockdowns will never have to happen again.
9NewsSyd So your gonna let people die?
We all know that dickhead. Vaccines prevent MOST deaths and prevent health system being overwhelmed. Who falls for this bullshit
Stop letting the virus into the country then
We want vaccines. Please do your job.
Nearly all the states are fighting against the disease but one, NSW having failed to control it and with the support of Morrison, Frydenberg and MSM have given up and are going screw the rest of the country over. The phrase cheese eating surrender monkeys comes to mind.
9NewsSyd You hear that...you can't eliminate it in QLD, TAS, NT, SA, or WA. At least Vic is giving it a red hot crack to get rid of the Gladys virus.
We wouldn’t be in lockdown now had the fed government bought enough vaccines so we were at 70% + like say Canada ! That’s why it’s scottyslockdown giving us scottysrecession
No shit sherlock....
100%
Well I nominate someone you love who isn't vaccinated. Oh right, bet they were first in line like scomo.
Finally something sensible said
As much as I dislike the LNP, he is actually speaking somewhat sense? We need to learn to live with this virus rather than lockdown for every new case. Lockdown is necessary now, but shouldn’t be forever.
...he Polish head. Nobody living forewer ..wheeeelkk....InJoy You 4 Ewer... ..Beter short queck
Afghanistan seems ok regarding Covid...
