And there are people who are detention now for 8 years.  Australians need special mental health support for 2 weeks in hotel. 

i have only recently managed to finished Behrouz Boochani's book  Manus; it was too hard to read what we did to those men.  I sort of knew, but to read about it in little day to day incidents, sort of makes it more real.  Like that all their personal possession  being confiscated, they were not allowed pencils and papers, not allowed to play cards and when they scratched backgammon board into table and tried to play with stones, they were punished. 

Every time I feel p......d off because I cannot do something due to the lock down, I think of Manus.

Re: Coronavirus update

I am not sure why there are so many missing words in my post:

It should have been:
And there are people who are in detention now for 8 years

and

Behrouz Boochani's book about Manus

Re: Coronavirus update

'Highly likely' not all Australians will get access to a COVID-19 vaccine at once, so who will have to wait?

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-18/covid-19-vaccine-supply-in-australia-who-gets-it-first/126648...

 

well of course not everyone will get first access to a vax when one does turn up whenever that might be.

 

it'll be the most in danger first then a trickle down until everyone who wants it gets it.

 

oh, and of course the rich and famous will top the list with the pollies lol

Re: Coronavirus update

Yes, and this cluster spread through 3 suburbs, where each of these families live.  And each went to different supermarkets, and some went shopping at the mall at Fountaingate, so anybody who has been out in all these locations on certain days now needs to get tested. 

If they stayed at home we would be considerably better than the 29 (?) new cases.  Apparently couple of people from these families are now in hospital.  I have to say I am somewhat short on sympathy for them...............
