      I’m not sure why people feel that way. If things go out of control its not always the leaders fault. People, especially in developed nations, feel too entitled and never follow the rules. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      I personally feel he’s a great guy and has been doing extremely well!

        Who insisted on using security guards that weren't trained and didn't follow basic rules?

        Who is still using the same security company at the housing commission towers?

        Extremely well in allowing tens of thousands of people to march in the streets, shoulder to shoulder without any fines or consequences.
        If you think that is 'doing extremely well' I shudder to think your opinion when we start to get close to a thousand new cases per day…

          Is splitting up your posts part of a scheme to get people to exhaust their daily neg supply?

          Have some upvotes before you get drowned in the 'woke' on this post.
          Given the daily tally is now 191, and even the media here is starting to question, there's a silent angry majority downvoters…

            prepare for a 4 week total state lockdown I reckon.

            the Andrews government is a train wreck…

            Dan must have started this course.

            It appears the daily tally has dropped to 164

            • @jv: Its not "dropped" to 164.

              "27 cases were reclassified – largely due to duplication."

                The expectation from the earlier post was 191, but the real figure is 164. That's a drop in numbers.

                Please stop classifying facts as misinformation.

                • @jv: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

                  "191
                  new cases (last 24 hours)"

                  They're still saying 191 on the main page, its not that they're trying to hide anything as you're trying to imply. If you didn't, then you would in fact be happy that its dropped to 164 and not be complaining.

                    • @jv: Yep, so thats the detail of the 191. It's not "dropped". It would be a drop when it was reported as 191 and then changed to 164 which is not the case.

                      Looks like you have way too much free time to argue. I have better things to do though. 👋🏽

                        191 down to 164 is a drop.

            @Koffee: The increased count is probably due to focused testing and thats a good thing, no?

            Either way, what else could the premier do besides what he's doing already? We're a truly democratic society where people do enjoy freedom unlike some third word countries where the government can take aggressive measures to get it what it wants.

            Overall, Dan is doing whats needed and it might take a while but I can literally see the effort is there. Yes, there may have been some mishaps but its not entirely his fault if a few key people (guards for instances) don't do what they're assigned to do.

              The moment when you realise that in trying to defend Dan you are invoking a Trumpism. 😆

              • -1

                @tryagain: Trump is not lying, for once, when he says that. But there's no lockdown, no strategy, no briefings, literally no effort along with the testing. Its as if they've just given up so him saying that is just an excuse.

                Its a whole different scenario in comparison to what we're doing here. There's not just testing, but a lot more that the government is doing to find and contain the spread and support people at the same time.

            • @expatOz: Agree - its not like he can pickup the user manual and see what he should be doing.

              Except for the huge stuff ups like hiring inexperience security guards (and still using them), and allowing 20,000 people to congregate without any real consequences. These stuff ups are the main reason we are in this situation.

    • Could be worse. Could have koalakiller overseeing the situation.

      • Could be worse.

        5 active cases vs 869 active cases…

        Nah…

        • She let a plague ship in.

          It's not her leadership that is causing a low amount of cases, it's a pure fluke.

          • @Diji:

            She let a plague ship in.

            Dan let the security guards jump in bed with infected travelers.
            That is worse.

            • +1

              @jv: Yeah because a government official has total control over the actions of citizens. We're not living in (profanity) Minority Report. He didn't tell security firms "yeah mate just let your employees go root some of the infected".

                @Diji:

                Yeah because a government official has total control over the actions of citizens.

                When the government appoints people, doesn't train them adequately and doesn't check that they are doing their job properly, then yes, they are to blame.

                When they don't learn from their mistakes and continue using these people, it makes it worse.

                • +1

                  @jv: You're buying into media bias way too hard. If this occurred under a Liberal PM the news would be reporting it as an "unfortunate mistake" and saying that the PM is working so very, very hard to make sure it never happens again. But because it's Labor, it's Dan's personal fault that the employees of a security firm didn't observe quarantine protocols.

                  I'll agree with you that the security firms should have had better quarantine protocol training and oversight by the government but we also don't know if quarantine training and oversight for guards in NSW was demonstrably more rigorous. I'll be happy to be proven wrong but I doubt any firm in NSW or the government itself is going to come out and say "yeah our quarantine training was rubbish".

                  I'll also agree with you that continuing to use them would be a mistake, but from what I've read those guards responsible have been sacked by the respective firms. It's still not as big of a (profanity) up as giving the go ahead (and yes, despite her trying to flog it off onto NSW Health, it was her go ahead) for a plague ship to dock with one of the most populous cities in Australia. It's a miracle that didn't go worse than it did.

                  I'm not arguing against the fact the situation is worse than NSW, but the insistence that Andrews is to blame and the widespread implication by news outlets that it wouldn't have happened under a Liberal PM.

                  If you sincerely think Andrews signing off on contracting security firms for quarantine security is worse than Berejiklian signing off on docking that ship then we're done here, you're beyond help.

                  • @Diji:

                    If you sincerely think Andrews signing off on contracting security firms

                    Security firms where it has been confirmed that some of them didn't speak any english and have not worked in security before.

    First time poster, long time lurker. Been working my way through this course in between busy work days and can 100% vouch for this. The supervisors are active in engaging with the learning process, it's not like a free udemy course where you work on your own watching 2 year old videos… With this course you work through up to date content and engage real time with fellow "students" and supervisors. Best $0 I've ever spent.

      Which udemy courses have 2 year old instructors ????

    • You mean 'bored trainers pumping out useless seminars to safeguard ego's'

    • Will you get any certificate upon completion?

      • +6

        yeah a certificate but not a recognised cert, just one to pop on the fridge and impress your mum

    • Glad your happy with it.

      So far what have you actually had to do ? Trying to figure out if I want to do it and if I have enough time to do it.

      And the price is certainly right :) :)

      • +2

        you get set up on LaTrobe's platform where there's a bunch on "units". each block is around 2-3 hours of content to read/watch. There's worksheet questions to roll through and discussion boards with fellow students. much more interactive than other online platforms. nothing is compulsory, you can work through units in diff order if they take your fancy. library access too if you haven't stumbled across another way to cough access restricted journals (i)legally cough

      Thanks, your review made me sign up. I was supposed to do an on campus (and pricey) leadership program with another uni, but COVID derailed that…
      I am hoping with some expected spare time soon that I can complete this program.

            @[Deactivated]: Got my login yesterday and started Module 1 last night.

  • Is there a deadline to complete this? I’m swamped at work at the moment and can only start in September.

    • The course closes in December.

  • Anyone looking at everyone in the calls and trying to pick out the ozbargainers? Lol
