Stephen Leeder, Emeritus Professor of Public Health and Community Medicine at the University of Sydney, said infection numbers were stabilising. "It's a matter of opinion whether we should be going harder and wider but my interpretation of the numbers is we are actually doing quite well," he said."There really is no other visible way forward at the moment,' he said.Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

They can claim the Delay of The Completion Dead Line on their Tax.

No special privileges. Now if DanielAndrewsMP could stand up to the CFMEU here in Victoria and order them to stop working instead of giving them special privileges, then we might be all in this together

Construction industry in not an essential service just another lobby group...

'Hi there!' From the Arts, University and Tourism sectors.

Everybody else had had to stay at home. Time they helped out too.

That's kind of the point. Stay home for a few weeks. Not like developers haven't stolen billions from us by ruining our cities and way of life. Make THEM pay.

It’s rich to use that he is concerned for construction workers mental health now after unions have been fighting for mental health reform for years in the construction industry.

That’s constructive.
