meomy 971 Report post Posted August 26, 2021 Be careful what one hopes for. This Covid Wellcamp Toowomba Regional Quarantine Facility may be in Queensland Australia. With ongoing scaremongering, never ending lockdowns and talk still coming out of the likes of Professor Nick Wilson ( who has rubber stamped Imperial Colleges Template without so much as factoring into account NZ is not comparable in many ways) and others to build a Quarantine Facility along with the recent 6 month extension of the State Of Emergency Act in place in New Zealand, along with news that Novotel Ibis at Ellerslie is going to take the overflow from Jetpark we should all be alert to such a possibility of having one of these such facilities built with stealth where our Ellerslie Hill currently is. Incidentally there are locals who are fed up with this carry on at Novotel Ibis as it's not a Registered Hospital, nor was it ever intended to be set up as well. If one can catch Covid with a 3 second exposure through the air as some 'Experts' claim, the Racing industry will be completely screwed with something like this in it's backyard. It's also not going to help with attracting more people from the City to Racing with this nonsense going on. Racing should have had a proper Marketing Plan in place to capitalize on the ongoing Travel Restrictions.

Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted August 29, 2021 I want to go to the historic last Great Northern Steeplechase. I think it may have to be deferred two weeks as Auckland will be still in lock down on 19th September.
