Maybe ScoMo has an autographed copy of Howard's LNP playbook. Look under T for Tampa.
Yep. Expecting anything other than populist decisions from SloMo is pure fantasy - such a glib, shallow, one-dimensional character.
The govt ads running at present declaring that the govt has secured millions of RATs... which will be available in the coming weeks!!!! ...is an embarrassing boast. Oh dear.

I bet tennis Australia wasn't expecting the 3 year ban on Djoker returning!

If Covid isn't an issue next year or if Djokovic gets jabbed, that won't be an issue. It's easily waived.

In some respects Novak being sent off has probably prevented a bit of a circus.
It's a bit like the old Hans Christian Andersen tale...'The Emperor's New Clothes.'
You'd have all the double vaccinated folks sitting in the stands while the King is in the 'altogether' out on centre court.
The reception may not have been the best.

The reception may not have been the best. Agree, there may well be concerns in both directions relating to this, it is definitely not the simple either / or scenario the media debate.

My three grandsons all have COVID. The eldest has had two vaccinations and the younger two were booked in for their first vaccinations this week :  They each have slightly different symptoms but basically similar to common cold symptoms.
My daughter and son in law, both triple vaxxed, haven't tested positive ... yet.
They were supposed to come to our place for a family gathering yesterday but pulled out when the boys developed symptoms.

I heard a Euro podcast overnight discussing Omicron trends, and it fits your description perfectly. Omicron can re-infect double vaxed after about 3 months, it can also openly re-infect people who had Delta. It looks like the 3rd booster of either AZ or Pfizer gives strong resistance to Omicron infection for up to 8 weeks starting about 2 weeks after the 3rd jab, and good long term efficacy against severe disease.
Even though Omicron can re-infect, all the vaccines as well as any prior natural Alpha or Delta infection should offer good efficacy for the reduction of severe symptoms. It also appears some other types of recent Corona Virus infection (Common cold variants) are offering some efficacy in the reduction of severe symptoms.

Interesting to hear a bunch of super fit tennis professionals discussing the impact of COVID on their performance, sort of makes a mockery of those who want to paint Sars-CoV-2 as a sniffle!
These people are not Joe Average, they are uber-fit with beyond average cardio / aerobic capacity, and Sars-CoV-2 has knocked them around!
And no, they weren't all make excuses post a loss, some of them are winners!
Youth courtesy of Facebook, Instatwit, Tik Croc and other social media platforms are not taking COVID seriously enough in my opinion.

I heard a rumour today going around some media circles there were credible threats made against Djoker, and also credible threats made against the general public on Djoker's behalf, so there might be far more to his re-export than just the vaccine stance. So much so security has now had to be beefed up at the tennis!
In trying to game the system, the various parties might have gone close to unleashing hell, it just takes one spark!
