Background: we just went into a six-day "circuit breaker" lockdown to slow the spread of what was thought to be a super-transmissible strain of COVID-19.
A big point of contact has been identified as a pizza shop, where a new positive case went in for a pizza and contracted COVID. Turns out they lied to contact tracers and the truth was they actually worked there, which has dismantled the "super-transmissible from surfaces therefore lockdown time" theory. Medihotel workers aren't being paid enough so in a few cases are taking supplementary jobs, which combined with non-mandatory testing has caused a breach. Insecure labour and a casualised workforce strike again!
The Murdoch paper (there's only one state-level newspaper in South Australia) fired the spin machine up super quick and what luck, it was a welcome distraction from the whole "SAS have a major war crime problem" thing. This photo being labelled as "hopeful" gives me a deep stomach anger.
Honestly, I think it's because most of the Murdoch papers look like/are tabloid papers as opposed to broadsheets, and that's a bunch of papers.
lmao haha "bring hope" in such big letters next to "whoops, our soldiers committed war crimes"
Petite Bourgeois tyrant pressures their illegally hired and underpaid worker to lie about their status to avoid possible consequences to them personally, news at 11.
