Having spent a lot of time outdoors over the weekend, it would seem some local councils are really starting to learn / experiment with "living with it". Some of the popular strips on the inner east were busy as, social distancing was basically non existent outside some of the shops. Since when did selling pot plants, decor and the likes become essential? But it was good to be out, good weather, and seeing people somewhat enjoying themselves. And well done to the Dees!

It must suck to have a Government concerned with keeping us alive

Looks like it is just in Victoria, cos there doesn't seem to be the same unhelpful bs being thrown anywhere else. However, if you believe the newspoll results released over the weekend, Victorian aren't buying it.

interesting that there was a requirement for 'tradies' to be vaccinated in Sydney and no uproar or protests, so why did this happen in Melbourne?

Well....I think the answer is right in front of us, and I hope there will be a capitol hill type inquiry into the insurrection.

I have now heard several accounts from people who were either there on the first couple of days, or know of someone who went. These people went with a legitimate intent, but as soon as they realised what was really happening, they got out of there quick smart. I think we'll hear more. I'm hearing 25% were there for the cause, 75% were there for another purpose.

from what I have heard, the CFMEU members were there from the morning having a peaceful protest, then the right wing anti-everything thugs showed up and started the trouble, I think some CFMEU members got caught up in it as they thought it was their comrades, but as soon as the truth came out the smart ones high-tailed out of there. Friday about 750, Saturday about 150, yesterday none. As soon as they went to the Shrine they lost all support

You'd have to wonder how many more were like this one.....................

"On Wednesday, a man featured on Nine News was wearing a AWP Plastering and Rendering high-vis polo shirt.
However, the owner of AWP has now come out and said the man seen on the news had never worked for him and was not a tradie."
