- For months, Australia was the envy of the world with COVID-19 infections largely under control. A breach in Melbourne’s hotel quarantine program changed that and left the nation anxiously watching the state tackle round two of Australia's coronavirus fight.
We investigate what went so terribly, tragically wrong in Victoria.

The problem? The contract went to the lowest bidder.
Charles van Dijk ha ha... hey it's good they've kept comments open ay
There was no bidding no tender process. It was a case of "social inclusion." Not on a merit basis but an attempt at "political correctness."
happens all the time in Victoria same thing happened with the public transport
As always.
NASA astronaut John Glenn quote “As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder.”
I don't know if that was the case here but i was under the impression that as long as the companies agreed to standards some governments had to use the lowest bidder.
Greed: the deadliest manmade disease.
Another fine example, thank you.
3rd World Countries are using Cheap Medication like Ivermectin, Zinc and Antibiotics to Protect and Cure People from COVID. But in Dan Andrews COVID State VIC, these simple medications are outlawed, and you must just obey the Draconian laws of Dictator Dan. Sounds like a 4th World Country
The Yeti it’s a virus antibiotics aren’t gonna do anything, and the other ones have been proven not to cure it lmao

Covid-19 in Australia is like the Spice Girls. Everybody is doing their best... except Victoria

😂🤣😂🤣 Brilliant
Lame stolen joke

Calling this the second wave is very optimistic. This is Australia's first wave. We simply delayed it. The world has a looooooong way to go before this is over.
That's what the modelling shows anyway.
@troll hunter Hey! That was MY question.
Sooo true, my partner and I were waiting. The chance of it not arriving was 0%
Yes sir, delayed is the word. The first few were just importing it from a big boat. Now it is here properly. Diamonds and Rubies. See the theme?
It will never be over
God help those poor residents in aged care.
I worked in private aged care for years.
The management told us not to wear gloves when cleaning residents who were incontinent of urine.
All to save money.
So wonder how the budget is going now.
By the way this company has 50 cases now.
Soul Sphere aged care has been in crisis for years.
I worked short staffed nearly every day, then when the accreditation body visited they would hire extra staff.
Smoke and mirrors!
Not to mention lying on paper work for more funding.
Private aged care is about saving money to make more money.
They don’t care about the residents and staff.
If you complained about staff shortage the manager would tell you that your time management wasn’t up to scratch.
By the way I found paper work for the management job description.
Their end of year bonus was budget based.
The more money they saved for the company, the bigger the bonus.
Australia wasn't the envy of New Zealand. How the Australian government dealt with this is almost unforgivable.
Isn't that the truth, but New Zealand wasnt separated by different states not in full harmony. But in saying that you would expect more from the Australian government because they should know this...
Doesnt seem to stop them from wanting to move over here. Kiwi's are some of the worst knockers of Australia yet so many of them come over here to live. I honestly dont get it.
@@maipenraionyourthai1943 what does knockers mean?
@@staffylover1950 “knockers” = those who “knock” as in those who criticize.
Aus have far better than the UK
There was hardly even a first wave
@Foo FighterYou're the only one talking about lizard overlords and the shape of the earth.
I know someone who had covid. He said it was boring. So long as you're healthy, it's extremely unlikely to be an issue. Take some vitamins and stop worrying. The financial ruin and resulting crime increase is going to be far worse than the disease.
This is still the first wave
@Happy McJoyJoy wow that was a horrible death..
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏🏾
Happy McJoyJoy sounds like a real story from a real person. Jesus Christ, you bots need to get a better pre approved line. Or do you not get paid enough in your country?
@@robotnoir5299 Right, who cares about old people? Asthmatics? Who cares about sick people anyway? Huh? Take them out and shoot them? Who cares that if you end up on a ventilator your chance of death is between forty and seventy percent. Who caaares. TaKe soMe ViTaminNs!!! Goddam.
The Vic gov’t should have used military and medical personnel for quarantine.
Trusting people to self-isolate was never going to work.
The quarantine should have been universal. Why did some people get permission to quarantine at home?
I’m never staying at that filthy Ridges hotel, and none of the retuned travellers should have been expected to stay in unhygienic conditions.
I hope all the baby shower personnel got the sack.
The CEO of Epping Gardens is a nurse? Then he should have had a good grasp on infection control. Hire more nurses, and less PCAs.
He was right to send the COVID cases to hospital. Why were they refused admission?
My heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones to this virus, and who were not able to be by their loved ones’ sides.
SARS has been around for a long time. There should have been a non-partisan, federal and state working group to address how to control an epidemic long ago.
Thank you Four Corners.
The aged care experience in Victoria is not uncommon, its been a major issue for most countries with extensive aged care services and also the highest rates of deaths and infections. Clearly government and aged care organisations need a thorough review of the system in place to protect the aged and vulnerable. Kudos to the ABC for this reporting. There was a time I never thought this would ever make the news. Clearly many have been out of their depth and we can’t criticise. This has been the first pandemic Australia has had to deal with for a very long time. Negligence and under qualified departments shows how vulnerable our system is.
Thank you to 4 corners for continuing to engage in acts of journalism. Nice to know there are still people in media who can put work in.
The aged "care" homes were happy to take vast amounts of money in the good times but in this crisis, they can't get food and care to their elderly residents? Did the chair polishers roll their sleeves up and pitch in to deliver meals and do some cleaning and care or was it all left to the underpaid?
I have huge issues re no plan no preparation for what we know are understaffed often lacking in real care , substandard .....my father abused neglected in a private 12 years ago ........70 per cent of deaths ,.......i hope those families really ask a lot of questions as their loved ones the high at risk , they got nothing from govt ...nothing
..no plan
How irresponsible now we are locked in side
No one blaming protestors?
I think that the so called second wave was actually the first true wave of the pandemic in Australia. As we know that previously the majority of the cases were attributed to overseas travels coming into Australia. However, this time around it’s all locally transmitted.
@Julie Reid how would you know its a scam. We don't even know the long term effects of this virus and what impacts it has on long term health. It's people like you who don't take it seriously to why we are in this mess.if you don't think it's bad ok but for the sake of your community and your loved ones why wouldn't you just accept the rules. God people like you piss me off
@matt b wow what a slap in the face to healthcare workers and essential workers who have been impacted by this. You're the disgusting person because your selfish attitude helps no one but your own stupid ego. Obviously you don't care about your community and the impact this has had on a lot of people. So please get off your high horse and maybe you need to do the research because you lack that much empathy it's disgraceful.
@matt b someone needs to take a chill pill because your emotions of rage and anger are really showing. Take your tin foil hat off first and breathe and wow! you have an anthropocentric view on life. Money, money, money and maybe you need to whip out the research as Karens are covid denialists, remember bunnings Karen and I'm not in denial. I'm not brainwashed I just care because not a lot of people do care and obviously that shows through the idiocy you write. And why would the government want to risk their economy if this wasn't real tell me that one. So please stop reading blogs on people that lack common knowledge and grow some emotion your rage needs some anger management. Haha getting up me for emotion at least I care about people.
@matt b Sadly it isn't.
@matt b I'm sorry Matt but it isn't the flu with or without marketing.
*Not a second wave. Still the first wave*
Did you wave back?
Indeed.
The first 🌊 of many to come
Incorrect
This is only the beginning.
Thomas Johnson you can’t be right
@Thomas Johnson I wish.
@Thomas Johnson it's impossible for it to wipe us out. If the mortality rate goes up the infection rate goes down. Seriously ill or dead people can't go around spreading it. No doubt it could get worse but it is not the end
@Thomas Johnson I'm relieved you know that, all the people not treating this virus as 'just the flu' is concerning. And yes it will do damage but we've never been in a better postion to defeat a virus as now. I'm obviously optomistic about this lol but literally all of humanity is coming for Covid's ass in a way that has never happened before.
It won't be eliminated but we will be able to manage it, a mixture of vaccines, better tracking and testing, social distancing masks will create a somewhat normal way of life with maybe only occasional lockdowns in targeted areas every now and then. It won't be normal life but it we will be alot better than what alot of people are experiencing now (2 month long house imprisoment etc)
@Thomas Johnson I think you missed my point, even if it somehow fuses with something like ebola, it would become less infectious as sick people or dead people won't be able to spread it. Bassically Virus's with lower mortality rates will kill more people as they can spread more easily. if it became as deadly as ebola that could actually, (key word could) help lower numbers
I agree with the others in the comment section, this is only our first wave. We knew it was coming since the start of the year. There's simply no use blaming any one person, group or government when it's in every single country across planet earth. "It was raging around the world'
-> 1918 - 1945 (Spanish flu - WWII) were extremely hard times from what I learned from my grandfathers war stories. These wild events we are experiencing most likely will go for many years to come. Put your mask on and get ready people. The fact is, It's here now and only just begun.
No mate, Daniel Andrews can save planet earth! Of course he could keep this virus out of Australia but every other country would get it instead.. Everyone who blames must be shallow enough to think this was even stoppable. Chance of AUS not getting Covid-19 _%
@@soulsphere9242 I'm sorry you're correct in saying that. I typed the above comment incorrectly and meant to say that there was lots of turmoil around the time of the spanish flu that lasted for many years after. We can expect a similar pattern in general if history repeats. I think some people think 2021 is going to be like the old 'normal'. P.S I removed one "many" from my initial comment just for some hope that you're right. Stay safe people
This falls into the "first world problem" bucket.....it's a very minor second wave compared to the COVID situation in so many developing or less wealthy countries. Even compared to similar countries like UK, USA, we can see Australia has been barely touched by this epidemic. UK has 42,000 deaths in a population just 2.5 times Australia's. Sweden has 5,000+ deaths with a population just half that in Australia. Australia has no perspective and no real problems so very minor things are hugely exaggerated for TV ratings. Shame.
That's the issue though, this whole pandemic started with one contagious person. With poor or unscientific measures taken, you get statistics of that of the US, Sweden, UK, etc. Doubt it's for TV ratings since 4 Corners is the national broadcaster and is funded by taxpayers.
that's the problem with people having that mindset. "oh its not that big deal." now look where we are.
Perfectly put!
shake with your elbow. also cough into your elbow. scomo taught me.

Logan McLean you hugged a panda? Google me.
Looks like ABC wants to dramatise the situation and see people’s reaction towards it, by keeping the comments section open 🤣
Maybe ABC just forgot to be anti-free-speech scum for once.
@matt b
What would that be?
@matt b What are they pedalling? This is sense of satisfaction you can never travel overseas again now without having taken the covid vaccine.
Wow, thanks for that hot take bot! Very 2016 of you to try and use TH-cam comments to cause distrust and division.
@matt b Yeah tell me more about how Bill Gates is an immunologist, now a single credible doctor who thinks vaccines haven't been benefical to our species? Would you take a vaccine to cure your idiocy?
Bravo Peter, the witness, thank you for your truth, this is very clear where the blame lies. 🇨🇦
After watching this doco, I can say to All Victorians and to All Australians the following:
We have all suffered, We have all had loses, Dear ones to us are gone without even being able to say goodbye to them.
Some of us have lost our jobs and we don't know what we are going to do after the Pandemic is over to be able to support our families or to pay our debts, we will all need to re invent ourselves to survive what will be the next step after Covid19.
From deep inside my heart I can only say: "It is time now to stop pointing fingers & blaming each other. If anyone need to be blamed for all that happened, We are all to be blamed because the truth is, No One was prepared for all of this. Period."
We need to learn now how to trust each other again and to look forward to a brighter future, in memory of those we've lost.
We are all aching but we need to come together again, and it will take time for all wounds to be healed, but they will heal.
Love, Peace & Respect to all those affected by Covid19 & Let's us not forget that we are an incredible Country,
Named Australia. we are not states, we are a country.
Oh piss off. Are you for real. We, the Victorian people, had this virus under control after months of lock downs. WE had consecutive days with 0 new cases by May. WE got this state out of stage 3 restrictions. WE did our part. WE made our sacrifices. THEY made the mistakes to put us in a far worse position than we ever have been, not the Victorian people. We have every right to be angry and angry we are.
It was all caused by 6 infected at the 10,000+ BLN protest. 2 weeks later, it skyrocketed and was also linked to the outbreak in the Appointment Towers. Skynews reported it where mainstream news didn't report it. We all know the BLN protesters caused this outbreak. Leftists media and government will never point the figure at them (also allowed them to protest in the 10,000+) just like in the USA media calling them "peaceful protestors" for burning down their cities.
Oh my... that snoring security guard at 12:26... what a mess LOL
The problem is the government took too long to do anything mixed with idiots in the public who refuse to comply
Australian media mentality 'lets point fingers'.
Correct, Sky News Australia is really bad with its commentators but they all seem to be biased and play the blame game for ratings. I dream of a fair news service.
I'm bored and broke because of this b.s.
"12 hours for one mask" Here I am using the same mask on multiple days lol
Saving the company money on P.P.E !
You should be nominated employee of the month. :)
SasukeitachiUchiha as are most people because we do not believe masks make any difference. I only wear one because I do not want to pay a fine.
I worked in this industry for 10 years. Pretty much everything is accurate here. It's part of the reason I left, these firms are sooo @#$!ing corrupt and criminal.

So cruel to our dear seniors. They done good for Australia in their times
they had their time
@@edvinjohnson5382 Such lack of respect for our elders.
I live in a town of 1800 people. If any cases get in here we are stuffed. We only have an IGA supermarket and the whole town treats it like a town hall, a meeting place. they block the entrances and aisles while catching up on all the latest News. The #1 topic (ironically) is COVID 19. Seriously, we will be hit hard if we get even a small cluster. This Pandemic has highlighted the apathy, selfishness & Ignorance of the greater community (at least in my town) IMO. However, these same people will point the finger at others for breaking various laws, etc. But for some reason can not see they are potentially killing by proxy. Sadly, the people in my town wouldn't even know what that meant.
The world must be coming to an end.
An Australian media outlet allowing public opinion in the comments?
This is bigger news than 911.
7 and Sky allow comments. If you still haven't blocked any channels that block comments, then you're getting what you deserve.
@Unintended Consequences Oh okay, I didn't realise because there's a few ABC news feeds on youtube, ABC Australia for example does not allow for public comments which seems strange.
@@robotnoir5299 To be honest I wouldn't recommend anyone watch Skynews Australia, they're an extreme BIAS filled company which basically personally attacks folk straight after they say they're not doing so lol. I've actually stopped watching the news as much as all it is, is "Corona this" "Corona that". It's getting old fast. Just like all the brainless fools who are breaking quarantine, and ignoring regulation rules, putting our entire country at risk.
@@flippinchips7495 All mainstream news is extreme biased. Sky is just _slightly_ less far-left than all the others.
Get your real information from the alt-news, like TimPool. The mainstream channels are only useful to keep you informed of what the normies are being programmed to believe.
And ofcourse, the comments are always fun. At least with Sky, you can use the comment section to tell the world when you disagree with them, and provide a debunking of whatever quality you think is worthwhile.
Our infectious control attitude is years behind the Asian countries. Singapore, Japan, South Korea, HK, and China all controlled their cases effectively, because they took it seriously. Both authorities and people learnt proper management methods and incorporated these measures into their daily life no matter how inconvenient those were. They just had the right attitude to get shit done.
From what I've personally seen daily, I'm not surprised Aus had another outbreak. Fingers crossed it will be contained soon and Australians have learnt the lesson (although I doubt the latter very much).
Very well said. Western countries have a lot of catching up to when it comes to pandemic control and disease spread...
Take China out of your little tangent there.
South Korea did 75000, tests to find the cluster, it was 200 people and expanded
Grosely from there. But the traced it, so so impressive 🇨🇦🙏🏻
Perhaps we might try to imagine the world where old people live their lives again with their children instead of nursing homes ....
Especially when the children seem perfectly capable.
I hear alot of blame still being put on the hotel guests and patients with covid, they are the victims, they are scared citizens that needed the Victorian government to provide adequate quarantine facilities, they didn't. In the end you need cooperation, which only comes from mutual respect not treating people poorly and fining them.
I am experiencing this first-hand, its all the karens
Angoose651 I totally agree ban the Brighton Karen’s lol

Australia's second coronavirus wave: what went wrong in Victoria?
1) Hotels
2) West Melbourne
Thats it.
Really? because that not what i am seeing on this video. I mean 4 sms saying you dont have C19... no wait yo do got it... no our bad, no you got it! Nothing to worry about... makes me understand alot the human errors that lead us down this path.
matt b why do fools like yourself continue to visit these sites despite your blatant disdain for them? Go do something else with your life
'Minimum wage' is a goldmine in alot of countries. This is no excuse for how people work professionally. The handling of it all has been shite, but the lack of personal accountability is unreal.
The hosts didn't wear masks...
@Benjamin Mcintosh colleagues and the elderly
@Tina Swarovski lol Qanon Infowars Maga covidiots. Give it up already. Learn science
@Tina Swarovski it's not a scamdemic
Imagine if you had a loved one in one of these nursing homes? What I don't understand is that unlike Italy and many other countries that were hit early we had months to plan ahead and we appeared to be in a good position. What was the government doing? They had months to plan ahead and wouldn't you think that the hotel quarantine program is the one thing that you would absolutely want to get right? I would think that a once in a century pandemic would deserve a little more attention to detail. I know that the blame game won't really achieve much, but this is absolutely harrowing. I'm ashamed to be a Victorian. I also feel deep, deep compassion for the hundreds of families who have lost loved ones. Finally, what I can't believe is how long it took the government to go into stage 4.
6:19 Looks like an episode out of Hotel Hells
Good i loved those serie. Gordon ramsay should have iverseen security. Imagine....
Flights brought in many more but nothing was done until later!
Its over when we decide
Is that a Daniel Andrews quote?
No it's not over yet sorry
The security firms were acting as agents on behalf of the principal which was the Victorian government. The government is therefore the culprit because they failed to do adequate (if any) due diligence
People need to take this covid19 seriously if we want the lockdown to be over soon.
The malpractice is and has been intentionally performed by our gov in order to continue the narative , as if they have our best interest at heart , it seems to be merely thearter for the masses these elderly people have been scared to death and these age care workers are probably to scared to actually go that extra mile
The problem here in victoria is we have a government paralised by political correctness and a mind boggling lack of knowledge of how the real world works.
@5:20 That sign, written in “pidgin english” should ring alarm bells that amateurs are running the show.
One of the first things my parents taught me was to wash my hands after touching money. I hope everyone out there is social distancing from the notes and coins in the wallets if not thinking this way. I don't see any news channels mentioning that the virus is being transferred on the money itself. When the government says "contracted from an unknown source" You can bet your bottom dollar it come from a $.
Shhh if we pretend it won't effect us! Just go buy the plastic and enjoy. I was going to inject some disinfectant like trump said but then i figured stuff it. If i lick my coins instead ill get immunity!
please...
Those private security companies should be held accountable, and those who approved it
Why would an oncology nurse be "an expert in infection control"?
She did a postgraduate diploma in it.
Who made the decision to use security companies ? Name names .
Do you think Australia could have avoided Covid-19 while every other country was infected? If your answer is no, then nothing could of helped anyways. So you may as well not look for someone to blame. If your answer is yes, then you're just lying to yourself or a fool. This bug is simply everywhere on our map. Again i say, may as well not look to blame.
Name names

@@janitaotto3095 Do you work for the pathetic excuse for a security firm responsible for this?
Every government in the country.
Some massive WHS duty failings by the security companies!! Gaol time?? Massive fines??
So sad ! I was so proud of how Australia was managing the outbreak. Hope you can overcome this before it gets worse !
Hotel cleaners don't do their job properly. My ex used to tell me how they would wash dishes with the same cold water they used to wipe down everything else and only got the visible bits off the dishes before putting the cloth under the bench to use the next time. I won't bother to discuss what they were doing in the spare time but it was the cause of the breakup.
Victoria's I.T is lacking because you treat I.T like it is process work and don't have any respect for what we do. Simply put, you get what you pay for.
Victoria lettin the country down.
commenter30 , correction- The Grubbyment let us down
Black lives matter protests, 40,000 people jammed in tightly like sardines, large portion wearing no PPE. But sure, it was 8 dudes doing security at a hotel, okay guys. Sounds legit.
Does everyone know that all those in hotel Quarantine had to pay $4000 for the 14 days.....
That’s ridiculous
Who's responsible for this mess?
Daniel Andrew corrupt Labor govt.
What went wrong?
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through...all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

@@georginawhitby1320 You're welcome. I wish I could remember the name of the living man who came up with the 7 viruses quote. It was a youtuber not quite as famous as Cicero. I hope he will be remembered one day.
well gee they screwed vic over didn't they...all due to what a few million now it has turned into a few BILLION dollar short cut...
Where we have so many Karens in Melbourne.
"We will not be resuscitating your elderly mother"....if you think this sort of language is used only during a pandemic I have some news for you. You remember your elderly mum dad grandma or grandpa dying in hospital in "their sleep"? Do you think it was a natural sleep or an opiate induced sleep hmmm? If you are 80 years and older and you land in one of our hospitals, if you do not have family that are loud and outspoken they will not let you come back out alive, outside of widows from men who were in the army or elderly people with private health insurance. They systematically kill off the elderly in Australia in hospitals. It is the worst kept secret in healthcare. I also have evidence of hospitals getting SMS early on during the pandemic to not take elderly people into hospitals even though the beds werent full to capacity yet.
So who is responsible?! When will Daniel Andrews resign?!!!!!!
What went wrong in Victoria?
Daniel Andrews
4 corners is a great show, better then any main stream news
Takes 1 positive person not to do the "right" thing and isolate... we saw many many people still going to work, shopping centres and even interstate after being tested with symptoms.... poor excuse to blame a government for the stupidity of the people. Take responsibility for your own actions!
If we cant voice a an opinion, what are our liberties here in society? more authority from police and goverments mend new policies, legislate and shuffle the revenue box for their fat pockets
Funny thing is , I know people all over the world and no one I know are they know or heard of have COVID and this is a pandemic , I couldn’t say the same about the flu or influenza . COVID fatality rate still does not meet the influenza numbers from last year. Seems to me giving out fines is more important than following safety protocols in relation to a pandemic in regards to hygiene and safety.
this was so sad, rest home residents,treated like shit
Canada needs a better form of this, mandatory for anyone and everyone coming into Canada.
TH-cam comments section at it's finest. No wonder the ABC usually turns comments off on it's videos 🤣
Military run quarantine wouldve been the best option
@i get it so keeping people locked in hotels is a better option then a military base that they could organise to have open areas for activities so on so forth with proper decontamination for those who come in contact with the people rather then untrained hotel staff being put at risk to further spread it?
A very tenuous link to Dan Andrews was made in this doc. The Rydges debacle, the refusal to use the ADF, the blaming of yet another of the 1%. This all points back to Dan Andrews and he needs to be punished for his evasive lying on the matter.
It doesn't point to a man! It points to a virus that's traveling across a whole globe easily via Diamonds & Rubies.. ADF should also be at home and we should punish you for blaming people and being a sheep by using words like debacle to try sound fancy. Stop copying & wake up, you're dreaming. This is worldwide.
Katie Daniels I can hear the fear in your writing, so the media is to blame for your parroting. Remember 85% of deaths are over 80 years of age. Only 8% are below 65 years old and even then it’s questionable (the UK retracted 5000 of it’s deaths in the last week). The mortality rate is 0.025% (about the same as the flu) and in Victoria more people have committed suicide than have died of this virus. What has happened in Victoria is exactly what Cuomo did in NY. They both sent the elderly back to their retirement homes and this infected the rest of the home. It’s mismanagement and it comes back to Dan Andrews.
Holy shit this is 45 mins, need to sleep now, I'll watch this tomorrow
cool story
This is how Australian behaves under pressure, just crumbled.....
Did you even watch?
The people did the right thing, knuckled under and pushed on, we where close to clear and then in a beautiful display of the public and private sectors coming together, the ball was dropped as hard as it could be by the people who where meant to be doing the oversite.
@@jimboblordofeskimos Crumble is ....
1) Ruby princess debacle.
2) Victoria Hotel quarantine failure .
Are these two incidents supposed to happen this way? Is it purely bad luck? No ........not really a surprise.
Imagine these two incidents never happened, and what would your life be like today...
Australia has the most geographically remote location (other than NZ) in the world! Plus very low population density!
Yet six months after the initial outbreak.....
The second wave is even bigger than the first wave!
That is not what they have in mind when reopening the economics, is it?
There will be third wave as well......keep the custom going and the result will be ......
Lack of attention to details and tolerance for mediocrity have long been the staple in this society.
When dealing such a deadly virus where everything needs to be executed precisely, the current outcome is hardly a surprise.
Luck can only carry you so far .........
Let's see how long will it take for Aussie to learn how to deal with this Virus.....

Labor are experts at subcontracting to their mates. This is a waste of taxpayers money. Police must investigate the contractors and subcontractors for links to Labor politicians and relatives.
Imagine having to stay in a corridor for a 12 hour shift. And for what? A measly $29 an hour? You see those images of sleeping guards, well no shit. They've been given literally nothing to do. I've seen guards at the local Coles, they move around, they are constantly walking that front area, they are saying hello to all the people who enter the store. Sometimes I've seen them handing out baskets.
They are doing this because their job is absolutely boring. I know a guy who was given a job of sitting in his car next to a station that was having construction work. You are god damned right the dude was having a nap here and there. Security jobs like this are like being on a 12 hour night flight and being unable to sleep. You have your phone, but if you use it for 12 hours, you won't have any charge left. It's shitty.
Having a shit job that you hate is no excuse to do your job badly. My job sucks and is boring as hell, mostly packing envelopes with pamphlets and sticking a sticker with the persons name and address on it. I have never once decided "this is boring, I am gonna have a nap on the floor" and if I DID do that, I would fully expect to be fired. Also I would be angry if my co-worker slept on the floor and wasn't punished for it took.
Seriously, if you can't handle doing nothing for like 8+ hours then don't get into security work. You don't have what it takes to be a security guard if you are gonna sleep on the job, or play with your phone the entire time to make it tolerable. I find it amazing that there is anybody who seems to think that they actually deserve to be paid $29 an hour to SLEEP and do NO WORK. If you had a business that required security guards, why on earth would you hire them at all if you knew they are just gonna sleep and not do their job because it's boring? You are better of paying nobody to do nothing than paying a security guard to do nothing.
@@StreakyBaconMan Dude, sitting in a chair doing nothing, it's not work, it's cruel and inhumane torture. I mean, it's the type of punishment I'd dish out to the kids.
There is no person on the face of this planet that wouldn't have been driven mad by this job. We aren't talking the day shift, we are talking night shift. They didn't need to have security on each floor, they could have just locked people in their rooms, and if they needed something, call reception.
And if one of these people decided to leave the hotel, these guards couldn't have done anything anyways.
Australia govt make, news , lockdown,
This pandemic is really revealing all of the weaknesses in our society. Chronic understaffing of aged care facilities in pursuit of profit. Prioritising the bottom line over human life. It is truly sickening. At least we're not as corporation-centric as the US. Yet.
Unfortunate that in 1999 , when put to the 2 question Republic Referendum , the result being negative , perhaps a 2nd wave of COVID 19 could have been avoided .. Australia under one Federal not State/Territories response .
Don't know about this. Australia has only two major cities. Outside of this the areas are primarily regional.
If the population was more dispersed, the cases in Melbourne and sydney may be less
Lol and instead the media blamed protesting, its a new scapegoat every new day at the moment.
No mask, no jab, no worries.
Oh really?
@@robertdurham7480 Yep. Never worn one. Haven't been jabbed. No worries.

Did we forget about the Ruby princess? Victoria's outbreak doesn't even compair to letting a ship full of covid onto your soil. The one ship they needed to stop lmao, this enteir government is a joke.
The blame starts and stops at the top. Ineffective government ministers with no pandemic expertise left in charge. What a debacle.
Thank you ABC. Thank you Four Corners.
Thank ABC for what? being pro CCP communist and spreading misinformation...go back to CNN

Hotel security was piss poor.
surely infections are proportional to testing, what about the statistics on hospitalisations and deaths?
the six staff had babyshower than onther people 82 people get infections my mom said that problem is the hotel manger not manager the hotel quickly
The Health Minister should have made this happen !!!!!!!
So much meat on the bone with the Gov. contracts! Enough to pass that responsibility between enough parties to evade individual penalties.
Months after civil rights to geo location history were snatched by governments and then not effectively utilised but rights gone again!!
all I know is the buffet scene is barely surviving. national tradegy
not as much of a tragedy as people dying, surely...
You that guy I saw with tin foil on his head yest?
@@docjay3919 I guess people must die for your 'buffet scene' to thrive...
Steve Mundy fun police
@@docjay3919 You think people dying is funny... Probably a Smirko voter too...
Very poor planning leading to very poor results. Better planning is needed.
