    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Apologies to put a dampener on things...

    I thought I heard that gardening maintenance was going to be added with the 101000 ppl that can go back to work(the modified list of allowed workers that starts on the 13th Sep) Need to wait for the list to come online to be certain. I could be wrong though it was hard to hear here.

    Nothing changes from the 14th except extra hour of exercise, curfew 9pm instead of 8pm and people living on their own can have 1 visitor and playgrounds open. All else remains as is.

    101000 workers he mentioned is effective the 28th so Yes, we are screwed for another 3 weeks..!

    My opinion is they are trying to set us up for being relieved and thankful when the government says they are easing to 3.5 or similar.
    Keeping us all on edge about it now hoping we may put in that extra effort to do all the right things so he can make the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
    Now if I got those reasonable odds I was after i would not give a s*** what day we would be returning to work!!!!!

    Apparently we are a risk because we visit multiple sites per day and it's irrelevant that we may speak to or have contact with anyone at these site ,unlike the shop assistant at the bottle shop who may serve and have contact with about 600 people per day all of who could have picked up and put down multiple containers while in store after coughing into their hands before entering. makes perfect sense to me that we aren't allowed to work

    It’s pure logic diarrhoea..

    Btw, went past a couple of strata corps I mange on Saturday and the grass is around 12 inches high, weeds even longer. Looks like sh*t. Can’t image how it will look in another 3 weeks...

    How does 24 inches+ look like? Weeds even longer! With temps around 20c and just a little rain it's not going to be easy going on 28/9 (or possibly later)

    Yeah, I’m hearing ya. At least the Magpie swooping season will be just about over by them. Got hit by one of those pr***s last year. Lol.
