CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

There's 2 things that the media aren't speaking about which tells you its not the strategy that was the issue and that means Andrews will be fine.

1.  At the time 90% of return travellers were coming through Melbourne.  What that means is that the other states strategy's were handling much smaller numbers which makes it much easier to manage.

2.  Out of all the hotels in Melbourne used, we only have two that are in the firing line.  I know for a fact crown was housing return travellers and they have not been mentioned or implicated at all.

Im no apologist.  The ADF might have been a better strategy but that's a hindsight discussion, and it's not really relevant considering the ridges and Stamford are the only hotels mentioned.

I know of people who were in the quest South bank too.

A very fair summary. Seems the security business will be in for a shake-up and not before time. On the surface of it you'd think that by employing these firms they'd have people who knew what they were doing - apparently not all. A lot of important lessons have be learnt from that episode.

The serious and inexcusable cracks in aged care have also been revealed. Another important lesson learnt at very high cost for many families. And the Federal Govt can duck and weave all they like but everyone knows this was their responsibility -- which doesn't remove State Govts from responsibility, either -- and they've (Feds) been negligent in not REALLY KNOWING what was going on, on their watch. Negligent govts and profiteers... what a poor pair to entrust the wellbeing of our aged to.
