NSW and Victoria each started with 2 Covid-Delta cases. Victoria went into hard lockdown, NSW didn't. Victoria is opening up tomorrow. All other argument is obfuscation, politics and bullshit. Vaccines didn't reopen Victoria. Locking down did. #Covid19NSW #CovidNSW #Covid19Vic

@abc730 @latingle @Mark_Butler_MP Kudos for asking and for the answers: "Yes" 5th doses are being considered but on ATAGI's head for any delay. "Yes" Paxlovid needs broader eligibility. Now it's for our experts to lobby ATAGI, AHPPC & govt to make it happen fast. Human & business health are at stake. #Covid19Aus

On the day NSW broke Australia's Covid-19 daily case record again with 1,431 cases almost doubling Victoria's she just told the families of the 12 people who died and the 1000s suffering, "You have nothing to fear from getting this disease." She's unhinged. #Covid19NSW #CovidNSW

Despite the ramp up by federal health minister @Mark_Butler_MP , ATAGI again refuses the Australian "general population" access to a 3rd Covid-19 booster or "5th dose". This despite most Australians not receiving a bivalent dose and many whose 4th has waned. #Covid19Aus #Auspol

Distance was the only strategic advantage Australia had against Chinese aggression. Putting China in the Solomon Islands chokes our US supply line while multiplying China’s reach. Among his many defence and foreign affairs failures this is Scott Morrison’s epic defeat. #Auspol

@sentdefender The US has learned the lesson of Gaza 2019 well when Hamas broke all 4 (technically 5) ceasefires. Didn’t one only last a few hours? Now the tactic will be “take hostages to allow digging in and resupply when under siege”.

Today's election outcome couldn’t matter less to Victorians. Both Andrews & Guy sit amid alleged corruption—both pledge irresponsible billions on pork funded by culling Covid mitigations while health workers resign and suicide. Vics need new leadership more than new govt. #Vicpol

Heard about the controversy of Waleed Aly on @theprojecttv . Look, thing is The Project has done some great work over the years but it has never been a robust panel show. Whether PVO, Hamish or Waleed—opinion ALWAYS consists of 1 MAN's rant; other panelists sit mortified. #Auspol

@normanswan A Melbourne GP told a 78 year-old AstraZeneca recipient that she must wait 6 months for her booster per ATAGI requirements, and that they'll only be able to administer her 3rd dose at 6.5 weeks to suit their convenience. @RACGP and AMA need to step up their comms on this.

This gaslighting by Frydenberg and Morrison is breathtaking. Australia has a lower death rate than the USA—by locking down. Australia didn't open the door to Omicron "like every other country in the world", ScoMo did. His crisis. His policy. His fault. #Auspol #Covid19Aus

There it is: “Demand airborne safe work, retail & social venues.” That’s where your revenue’s at, businesses. That’s where your foot traffic is, CBDs. That’s where your money hides. So go get it. #Auspol #Covid19Aus

Cases & death tail is persistent & high. There's a lot of COVID around, preventable deaths vastly more than bad flu season. Individuals, pls mask up, get tested & demand airborne safe work, retail & social venues. Govts, pls make those things easy. #COVID19Aus #breakthechain

I gave up 1/3 through so I may be wrong but in @9NewsMelb 's Xmas coverage tonight they gave a nod to celebs serving the poor and Hillsong—but not hospital or emergency workers. So with millions of others who don't value the news for this reason I'll say it. Thank you. #Covid19Aus

@PeterCronau As a writer the issue is the absence of an agreed media definition of genocide and apartheid. For in the context of Palestine they're tainted with dogma—bluntly—antisemitism. Hence the issue of war crimes: here it's "proportionality in war" that needs to be reported and debated.

@UN_News_Centre The world is shocked that the @UN hasn't investigated Hamas for its "extrajudicial killing of Palestinians" since 2006 nor that your special rapporteur for Palestine hasn't informed the #UN of any by Hamas since October 7 2023.

These mask mandates will be national. They will be uniform. There will be no electoral tit-for-tat. And those who don't like it will be placated by one clear goal: To bring the number of deaths, hospitalisations and cases down. Wars need clear goals. Goals empower people.

@KosSamaras Or let’s just start with why the govt believes the pandemic is over “now” while letting NatCab hide case numbers as Covid-19 spreads at record levels. Let’s just start with the “now” of the post-Morrison Australian Covid-19 death toll and see Albanese explain that. He won’t.

@luckytran @melswal We’re finally seeing what $44B buys. It’s not the Twitter platform Musk wanted but its demise as a functioning public communications tool—one that’s brought down dictators. A former Twitter engineer predicted Twitter wouldn’t last till yesterday. Well he was close. Stay safe all.

“"The reason we're having another wave is because of this natural waning of immunity." SA’s CHO admits that hybrid immunity is a myth but the response of ⁦ @AlboMP ⁩’s govt, AHPPC and ATAGI is to leave Australia without any Covid-19 protection. #Auspol

New COVID wave hitting SA and increasing cases — but Pirola variant not to blame

South Australia's public health chief Nicola Spurrier warns the state is "clearly" at the beginning of a "new wave" of COVID-19, but says the rise is not being driven by the Pirola variant.
