Surely selecting VICTORIA Park as a testing location was a deliberate low-key diss

DAN SCHMIDT

Our state’s newest COVID-19 drive through testing station opened in Adelaide’s Victoria Park this morning, resulting in car queues of great lengths that have not been seen since the footy was at West Lakes.

Usually reserved for Pedal Prix competitions and casual discreet hookups at 10:25pm on Wednesdays by the northern end bushes underneath the gum tree parallel to the entry sign (allegedly), Victoria Park is now the location for COVID-19 testing.

But surely, out of all the places we could have picked, some patriotic South Aussie public health bureaucrat has simply picked that location to rub it in to our rivals across the border.

That’s our conclusion anyway. We sure someone’s already made a tweet or joke about this on a much popular platform, so please don’t bother pointing that out.

We assume they made the selection of this location when it was still funny to joke about Victoria and the coronavirus and weren’t completely tone deaf, unlike us.
