catsidheMurdoch media at Dan's Presser today: "What's the point of a road map if you don't follow the road map?" (very loud subtext: "you said we'd open all the businesses on this date and it's this date and you're not opening the businesses, why are you Stalin?".)
The thing is, oh twerp from the Herald-Sun, that's not how road maps work. It's not "drive west until midnight on the 27th and then turn right, and lets just assume we were travelling at the correct speed that whole time and ignore those traffic jams": you keep driving until you get to the correct intersection, even if you should have been there hours ago. We are in lockdown until we are in the correct place to do so, even if the predictions made on when that would happen turned out to have been optimistic.
Remind me never to go driving with you, especially through Richmond. If you drive a car like you're demanding the state be driven, we would have ended up roof-down at the bottom of the Yarra months ago.
