I might just qualify as being the single biggest thicko here as I failed every single exam at school and got an ungraded mark in a few of them, I walked out of one exam after only a few minutes and didn't turn up for another which prompted my teacher to leave the exam room, hunt down my younger sibling and, after asking him where the hell I was, he told him "That boy is the bane of my life!" He must have felt I was capable of getting him a pass and that I was deliberately sabotaging it, which was partially true. I did feel a great sense of pride at the time at being such a spectacular failure but, currently in the process of transferring blocks of text on my site to be comparable with the database, I do get very annoyed with myself when reading stuff back. I blame Jane Austen.

government fails to follow up with 33% of track and trace?
Come on, be objective PSAW and fellow anti's.

So much negativity around at the moment so lets have the positive line

It's really easy to ask for something to stop. What is the alternative proposal?

Doesn't matter how they present it, just give us the same info for other comparable countries so we can see how well (or not) we're doing.

I have followed this thread with great interest, and came across a quote which I believe is relevant.
“Ad hominem fallacies.” Socrates. “When citizens assess arguments on merit rather than through the prism of ideology, democracy flourishes.”
