    Either they want their day in the Sun or just because they're different (SNM's conspiracy theory - ultimate proof that Qld is behind the Eastern states :oops:)

    He slipped on a wet step. I doubt stress had anything to do with it.

    She looked extremely tired and haggard yesterday ... 18 months of this every day must take it's toll

    Being stressed can lead people to being inattentive to what's around.

    I'm assuming it didn't lead him to being not completely sober.

    Well considering it was raining and he fell at about 7am as he was heading back to a meeting at parliament it is a little strange to suggest he may have been drunk. It seems like poor form to stir some of the very peculiar conspiracy theories that abound.

    NRL & AFL on hold, going to be a quite night watching badminton if they can't sort something out ASAP.

    To me, it shows excellent leadership. Surely exhausted people making critical decisions is not what is wanted.

    Who knows, maybe that’s why Dan slipped, his mind was on other things and next thing ...

    I can’t imagine the pressure (for all leaders) that comes with the responsibility that they have. Day after day. Literally 24/7.

    I’m definitely not a fan of her/NSW approach to slow lockdown, and to me, superiority/arrogance in not learning from other States, but I don’t begrudge her having 1 day away from the press conference.

    The high number of cases for people not as old may be related to the vaccination rates for those age groups

    From recollection ScoMo was always pretty negative on early lockdowns, he seems to have changed his tune now. WA premier got a lot of flack for his early lockdowns with only a few cases

    HI, I cant remember which TV show I was referring to, sorry, so I cant reference it.

    The Govt was suggesting spending $10m per week over 8 weeks ($80m) on lotteries to persuade people to get vaccinated, ie get a ticket with your jab.

    But we do thank Gladys and co; not that Annatasia would need convincing on “Go hard, go early” strategy.

    Hopefully, any idiots in Queensland will see what is happening in Sydney and pull their heads in ;).

    Oh we get it. Perhaps Gladys and Anna should get one too.

    I would rather none of them show up, and get a skilled speaker to do the announcing, all questions can be by email.

    Anyway, do not think it is wise to try and do every day, they should be more focused on responding and not so much on media management....!

    Send them down here to Syd, as they start to become sick they will need some pleb replacements....just make sure they claim the 600 a week or whatever first :)
