Then it was just too hard to shoo them away, so they were employed via ouija boards rather than by formal tender.
In 1984, federal special minister of state Mick Young stepped down after he failed to declare a large Paddington Bear in his wife’s luggage on return to Australia. Today, if a minister was found at Customs with cocaine up their bottom, they would hold an inquiry to find out who put it there.– Overseas travel. An exotic and near-forgotten pastime involving airports, passports, small bottles of red wine and tiny snack packets that are impossible to open.
Little penguins on parade at Phillip Island now rival the Academy Awards red carpet. It has come to this.– Quarantine. The process of being taken to a hotel after arriving from overseas where you are policed by private security guards wearing gardening gloves, shower caps and plastic garbage bags.
The inventors of Twister, Charles Foley and Neil Rabens, show the ideal game for quarantine. No further comment is required.– The immediate challenge. There is no playbook for this. By good luck, good management and geographic space, Australia has been one of the least COVID-infected countries in the world. The challenge for the federal and state governments is the rebuild, which will take generations to complete.
And a second wave we didn’t need to have...cultofDan
A little hyperbole there.
The Age Murdoch opinions
Putting the word “opinion” at the end of an article doesn’t excuse the fact that you published this.
Seriously, when’s the last time you bought a copy of The Age? The Hun has the RWNJ market covered. The Age has made itself completely irrelevant to Melbourne.
Hyperbole much!! Restriction have been progressively relaxed over recent months. Already been partially released. Pull your head in
Is this the Age or the Herald Sun? [disappointed]
A light heart romp. Thank you
FFS ... what depths The Age has sunk to!
Thankfully it says “Opinion” after the headline. Stops it being mistaken for the truth.
Melbourne , you should be proud of your success, high five
DRIBBLE NEWSPAPER!!
Omg how stupid and ridiculous are your reporters now
You’re growing so tiresome I hope you’ve lost a lot of subscribers. 12 months ago my main news source. Now nothing but agenda and opinion pieces.
Seriously?! What happened to the beautiful, intelligent newspaper I grew up with. You’re breaking my wee Melbourne heart.
World’s worst pandemic since the Spanish flu. Strategy has support of Vic public and it’s working. Mistakes were made. History will look back favourably on State Premiers, not the federal Govt.
A once reliable source of quality journalism has completely gone down the toilet.
A little hyperbole there.
& TheAge would do well to remember that unlike the crooks at LNP HQ, we are not your people. TheAgeOfCorruption auspol
There's gonna come a time when Dan Andrews will have to hand the situation over to the people. We know what has to be done, and if we don't do it, we'll be sitting all alone in our houses for Christmas.
