LOCKDOWN 3.0
National response to outbreaks long overdue
Jewel Topsfield’s article (“Mixed feelings as Victorians tackle the third lockdown”, 15/2) was testimony to the fact that our state government appears to know of only one way to manage risk: by shutting down everywhere and hoping for the best. It is profoundly lazy, lacks nuance and is essentially an admission of failure.
Unlike NSW, which in December at 30 new cases in a day still did not feel the need to crush livelihoods by imposing a statewide lockdown, the Victorian approach is akin to solving a domestic rat problem by bulldozing the whole house.

Home Affairs Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, says his department plans to review some permits of persons who had acquired their South African permanent residence documents fraudulently.
Motsoaledi has revealed that some well-known names include Timothy Omotoso, who is found to be among those with illegal documents.
Omotoso, a pastor from the Jesus Dominion International Church, and two co-accused are facing more than 90 sex-related charges including rape, racketeering, human trafficking and sexual abuse.
It is alleged that young women from the Jesus Dominion International were lured to a mission house in KwaZulu-Natal where they would have been spiritually educated but instead they were allegedly sexually assaulted and raped.
