Gladys lost the plot

From week one of the Sydney Covid outbreak, Daniel Andrews, an old hand in lockdows, said Gladys lost control of the situation in NSW.
After 6 weeks, it seems he is right.

The Premier of NSW is a clever popular operator, but she is becoming stubborn and thin skinned making mistakes one after another..

2 summers ago she overlooked the dangerous push to backburn the bush in unsuitable weather conditions. We all know what happened, backburning started bush fires that spread over NSW and adjacent states for weeks killing australians and destroying enormous amount of properties.

Same thing is happening with the Pandemic..
she is overlooking and snubbing calls for a ring of steel. Or a circuit breaker as called by the Feds.
she opted to push vaccination and testing. And impose a blanket lockdown that is proving ineffective and dangerous.
After 6weeks of solitary confinement, I got up this morning and watched on TV how my fellow Australians in WA and particularly NT are basking in the sun in total freedom..I nearly cry seeing them attending festivals and BBQing on the beach. Drinking and cheering together..
then 11am the Hazard came on with the worst numbers and bad news so far. . He told me and viewers it is our responsibility to end the lockdown.. yes and Stay home and get vaccinated..yeah and to make me feel better he said Canterbury Bankstown is responsible for most infections and the spread of the virus...

Great so what you going to do Mr Hazard?
pussy foot with ethnic communities and allow the virus to spread and lockdown to last 6 months. Or put a ring of steel even a curfew around these areas and introduce mandatory testing and snuff out the virus..
At the moment the Pandemic in NSW and now VIC is becoming that of multiculturalism and not that of the unvaccinated.

@zarzoore; you can only do your bit and aim to stay safe by staying home - as painful and boring as that is, it's worked time and again in Victoria and will work of us yet again with this latest outbreak - we hate lockdowns and like pulling teeth without a needle we feel the pain but we alos know it works!

Your reference to being envious of what other Australians are doing in WA etc is actually happening within Greater Sydney and in regional NSW and largely explains why Berejiklian's lockdown-lite has proven ineffective.

You can be certain that Covid19 is throughout Greater Sydney and leaking beyond those limits more and more with every passing day. Yet different restrictions are being applied depending on where people live in Greater Sydney and regional NSW - that's confusing and in the minds of many, discriminatory and a magnet pulling people to locations where restrictions are even lighter.

NSW now needs a full-blown Stage 4 circuit-breaking lockdown of at least two weeks [ie. one Covid life cycle] - curfews, 5 kms mobility limit and only bare essential services.
