I dont think you need to train someone to not let people out and not screw them during  pandemic.

The people in quarantine are more culpable than any guard or any policy.

You might agree you might not, but the actions of people and the outcome speaka for itself.

Fwiw there's still no concrete proof the hotels were the root cause of the issue.

She is obviously too pretty to have the plague, nobody will label her COVID Dannii!

The CHO essentially reaffirmed today that it's highly likely all current cases stem from the quarantine breach.

Dan hasn't had a more important responsibility during his tenure.

And he royally f^%$d it up.

the blunder will cost the economy further billions, keeps 1000s of kids out of school and cause a whole heap more pain & grief on 10s of 1000s of people.

That's on him. If you wanna be the big kahuna you take the good and you take the bad.

In any private organisation, he'd be gone by now.

It's facile to say he can't be blamed for others' action. Even puerile.

In your 2nd sentence you say, 'The CHO essentially reaffirmed today that it's highly likely all current cases stem from the quarantine breach.' Then you proceed to blame and demonise one person, in this instance, the state Premier. Talk about a contradiction that swiftly unravel's your argument.

Put another way, who put the quarantine in place? The Premier. Who broke the quarantine? The c0ckheads. Who's to blame? The c0ckheads. Fair suck of the sav, FB.

I understand that people have political allegiances -- too often blind allegiances -- and salivate over the opportunity to blame someone other than their mob for any trouble... but sheesh! This is why I refuse to have any political allegiance... lowers IQ points by a big margin almost immediately. Retaining objectivity and rational, logical thinking should be the goal of everyone, especially around election time.

The investigation will ideally reveal any stuff ups from Andrews or anyone else in his govt or in the administration of the security company or any shenanigans between unions and govt. But blaming Andrews for everything at the moments... holy mackerel... you probably also think Andrews was the other shooter from the grassy knoll!
