The committee will also make recommendations on public transport in a report to be presented to national cabinet on Friday.
Well what do you expect. The idiot who runs nsw has given in to pressure to open pubs.
Geez, given the push from the feds and the mad rush to open up, it’s no wonder
Has anybody used the million dollar field hospital erected in the park in ACT
FOR FUCK'S SAKE, 7,000 SICK AT ONE TIME IS NOT ACTUALLY AN EPIDEMIC, TIME THE MEDIA FESSED UP THAT YOU WERE CONNED BY FERGUSON'S TRIPE
From some of the comments about relaxing restrictions and letting the county go back to normal, it seems these people want Darwin to make the decisions for many.
With the test, trace and isolate resources at our disposal it is urgent that we cease this baby steps approach and get people back to an appropriately supervised work place ASAP. We know there is a risk but we live with risk every day in numerous ways.
True. We sit and wait for the next stage.

Really.....who thought up this social distancing crap? Yeah research it. No evidence whatsoever that social distancing helps virus spreading..infact it makes it worse!!!!! Think people do not follow mainstream media!!
Well, based on the party going on over my back fence last night (Tuesday/before restrictions were officially eased), I'd say they're right.

That is why we are getting ahead of the curve just as we have done with health, now on mental health.” SeanBradbery I hope they look at people's susceptibility to crazy conspiracy theories, include those spread by some Sky presenters.

Australia creates new deputy chief medical officer position amid coronavirus mental health fears - ABC NewsAustralia's first deputy chief medical officer for mental health will have a challenging task ahead of her, as she navigates a pandemic which could lead to more deaths by suicide than from the virus itself, experts say. Our experience in the taxi industry is Govts don't care about mental stress faced by small business, their staff & families. There is no help available from Govt agencies & nobody cares even though taxis have worked to assist the vulnerable elderly & disabled during this crisis! why is it mental health has to be government? pay their own We have been too reliant on gov fund So you mean we don’t live in a Covid19 vacuum? Quarantining healthy people increases their chance of poor health outcomes? Nice that they pretend to care now?
