Soar high with the stars darling, M. At peace, and free 💙

I think this picture needs wide distribution.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Polio and smallpox never reached natural herd immunity. They were eradicated by vaccines.

Asked today about the far right thugs storming the shrine - a building dedicated to those who died at war - LNP Sen Amanda Stoker said it reflected lockdowns and heavy handed approaches. Retweet if like me that disgusts you.

Good to see journos giving @GladysB a good grilling at her last official daily press conference. She claims she will decide when she will be accountable yet she winds up the presser early because of uncomfortable ICAC questions she is dodging. Accountable indeed

11am - last daily presser. A few reasons it should continue - 1. We're not 70% vaxxed yet; message needs to be hammered 2 Elderly rely on it - many don't do digital 3 Ethnic cohort same (SBS run it daily in 10 languages) 4 Explain constantly changing health rules 5 Accountability

While the NSW Premier has stepped back from being accountable to the NSW community during the 11 am conferences, our state's nurses and midwives continue to work hard to keep our community safe through COVID-19 @nswnma

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the state’s daily 11:00am COVID-19 press conferences will stop from Monday. I think that’s regrettable for democracy #Covidnsw

Should NSW abandon daily press conferences at some point? Sure. Do you abandon ship at moment of greatest crisis, when there are more cases than ever before ? No. There’s a reason why abandoning a ship when you’re the captain used to be a crime

This week's column: I THINK this link will work but apologies if it doesn't...Berejiklian rides roughshod over the Doherty plan afr.com/politics/feder…

It is right and proper for these press conferences to eventually come to their natural conclusion. But Ms Berejiklian’s decision, on a day when the state recorded more than 1500 cases landed as a stunning & grossly premature turn of events theaustralian.com.au/commentary/cor…

Now more than ever we need to be hearing daily from the Govt. By the Govts. own admission, NSW is weeks away from:   - cases peaking - hospitalisations and ICU numbers peaking - the roadmap out for Western Sydney We need to be hearing from the Premier every day. #nswpol #auspol

Just as deaths, hospitalisations and infections peak? How dystopian

If the PM backs the NSW govts decision to walk away from accountability via daily pressers it will be very disturbing. #auspol #Covidnsw

@smh @CroweDM Not if everyone wears their mask like Peter Dutton!

@CaseyBriggs Casey why has NSW dropped info about “infectious in the community “ figures -is it because the contact tracers are so overwhelmed that the Gov doesn’t want that “red”zone to show on your graphs ??

Not that it's been particularly useful in a long time, but here's the breakdown of linked/unlinked cases as of 11am

1290 cases in NSW, and four deaths

@CNN Disgusting!

The White House said the US will not participate in an international effort to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine because the initiative is tied to the World Health Organization. cnn.it/3gQa2iz

@mrtonymartin @antfarmer Exactly -anything to get a headline !!
