The virus situation that has been developing for over a week in Victrola is clearly now out of control.
- case numbers pretty much close to and over 20+ each day for a week
- today reporting 40+
- international arrivals can refuse a test and walk out after 14 days
- health minister and police minister fighting over army assist contract tracing, one say yes the other no
- Captain Cook Denier, Dr van Diemen, Vic health minister, said it was 'getting a little bit complicated' to discuss cases linked to outbreaks as there are 'quite a number of outbreaks at the moment'. A real confidence booster if ever there was one.

What has to change, pretty simple:
- all land borders shut with Victoria, no interstate air travel from Victoria
- mandatory testing of all international arrivals
- international arrivals pay for their hotel rooms

If this continues, we are eventually going to get overwhelmed by the walking dead, they are going to keep trying to get into the country. It has to stop. People are developing the virus on day 15 and and day 16. Hotel support staff and hotel security staff are being infected.

It's a foolish risk that 25 million people have to take for the benefit of thousands trying to coming in. I don't want to have to wear a mask for years to come, do you ?

As a West Australian commuting for work in the NT, 14 day isolation is mandatory on return to WA.
The strict WA border control is being maintained because the Victorian powers that be and senior medical advisory staff have all failed in their respective duties and WA is protecting itself from the same.
Other states will follow suit and isolate themselves from the nations hotspot.
Some justify open borders on the relative difference between NSW and Victoria as yet showing no replication.
However the ineptness of control and decision making is at the core of the problem and the difference.
Freight and other services are still allowed however to traffic across borders and the risk of spread is still real for the rest of the country while the situation in Victoria is afoot and worsening.
At what point does this become not a State of Emergency but one of a state of National Emergency and the Federal powers bought to bear to take over the security. This is not an offer but a command for the Federal Police and Military aid sent in to enforce mandatory control and protect the Australian population from recalcitrant citizens.
The continued failure to act and enforce places every citizen at risk and further erodes the economy and future wealth creation in this country.
