RE: queues to get tested, I'm thinking that the best solution is that everyone who rocks up is given Rapid Antigen Test. If your RAT is negative, you're free to get on with your life. Only those who return a positive RAT line up for a PCR.
Would this work? Why is it a bad idea?

Putting the bill up was a stunt. It was brought in so Perrottet could make a show of dumping it. Given what's going down in Victoria at the moment, there's no way the NSW government could have seriously considered a bill like that at the moment.

We'll probably never know the real case numbers again. I suspect there's plenty of asymptomatic or minor symptoms cases who won't bother lining up for a PCR test and either won't test at all or do a RAT test.
I suspect NSW Health won't do these daily tweets for much longer.

If there was no Suns Academy, those 4 players would be playing rugby league or rugby union; because there'd be no realistic pathway into the AFL and they wouldn't have had the opportunity to develop to become draftable.

Vic club who last made finals in 2016 given pick 3 for losing a free agent & extra picks because they’re not very good = OK.
Club who has never made finals invests own resources into 4 players from outside the game’s heartland = woe is me, the draft is compromised.

Mr Hazzard's comment yesterday that we're all eventually going to get covid is something that I've been saying for months - was clear to me since early in the last lockdown.
That's why we vaccinate, and get our boosters. It's our best defence against the severity of it.
