Covid-19

[PeeBee]

honestly im sick of hearing how bad dan andrews is. i could get it if everyone was behaving and doing the right thing but there are still people who are out there doing the wrong thing. if people just pulled their bloody head in we might end up like the other states. sure i dont agree with all the policies and stuff he has in place, but he has a plan, and if we dont see it through we may end up like the UK or EU or US. there is a bloody selfish me generation of people young or old and those are the main problem here , now out leadership...

My opportunity with BHP turned into a horse race with the lowest cost resource winning - surprising strategy from 'The Big Australian', but their call. Subsequent to this the mine site rang today to confirm they need me back on site asap - after sitting around for 7 months in Melb., where is no demand for my skills. The issue for me is that due to rigid isolation protocols in QLD, political or not, I have to isolate in a Govt nominated hotel for 2 weeks, then to site for a two week roster and then 1 week off - but cannot leave QLD - so may miss Xmas all together, first Xmas with the new grandchild. My situation is pretty tame compared to some but I might not be back for 6 months - who knows when the borders will re-open. Covid restrictions have to be rigid because of the few 'free minded individuals' believe they don't need to take the risk seriously. Being separated from my family for an extended period is not my choice, but these are the rules, so I follow them,. yet some can't even wear a damn face mask for a couple of months , when in public space without feeling their liberty is being impacted - harden up.
