The EI Circus

This is a Circus, the only difference is that we have the "clowns" running it & not a "Ring master".

When will they (NSWDPI) realise that they ARE NOT containing this, and that they need to take the colouring pencils off the "children" and start looking at really controlling this by effectively putting in place a proper and total lock down of the state.

All the new zoning i.e. the increasing of the purple zone, which if I'm not mistaken was "supposed" to end on the 19th of this month (but obviously that's not happening now), will do is aid in the outward spread of the virus. I have a horse that was stuck at Tamworth in a then Red zone and he would've been out of quarantine mid November so theoretically able to leave as he posses no risk to uninfected horses, just like the horses from Warwick/Parkes etc. Now he is stuck in a purple zone till this crap is over, which is at my expense. I don't have the funds to pay for agistment till next April, which is when they predict this farce to be over, so Minister, I expect YOU to pay for this. If they think that the rest of the state not so lucky to be in a purple or green zone will sit back and happily watch those zones start to get back to some normality with competing etc, then they SERIOUSLY need to re think that brain storming idea.

I can see people "accidentally" bringing it back to amber zones in the hope that they then merge with the red zones so that then we can all become purple. Is this another case of money or pressure from elite horse people doing the talking again??

They have already returned two local government area's back from green to amber with a dusting of red for good measure, so wake up and smell the roses DPI, you couldn't run a chook raffle, let alone deal with this crisis. They blunder from one cock up to the next, but pander to those with influence, at the expense of the rest of us. Start listening to us, the people that are loosing money and patience hand over fist, and who are the "salt" of this industry. We have had it up to the proverbial.

As for which government is worst, I would say Labors winning. Their lack of financial assistance is disgusting. They knowingly let an infected horse into their state, & now expect us to not only pay the highest taxes in the country, but also pay the associated vet bills etc. The Iemma government is very lucky that this isn't a state election year, but don't worry, we have good memories.
