BREAKING: I have confirmed Dr Chant did not endorse this new roadmap. The Chief Health Officer warned the new Premier these changes come with risk, but the decision was ultimately a matter for the government. A shift from Perrottet away from “the health advice.”

Barnaby Joyce has been issued a $200 fine by NSW Police for not wearing a mask while paying for petrol in Armidale. He was inside for less than a minute, spotted by a member of the public who called Crime Stoppers. Police went and checked CCTV and issued the fine.

This is Djokovic at Melbourne Airport last night. I have spoken to the man who took this photo. He says Novak showed a bundle of papers to Border Force with Tennis Australia logos on it. It feels to me Djokovic legitimately felt like he had an exemption thanks to TA.

Unsure if the new NSW Premier realises he does not have the authority to open the international border. Nor can he issue visas to allow “tourism”. This announcement has likely put the opening of Australia’s state borders back significantly.

I asked Dominic Perrottet why it would have been unsafe to run Sydney’s rail network. I could not get a clear answer. I asked whether it was crowding, inadequate staffing- again he could not answer. He’s committed to sitting down with RTBU if that’s what it takes.

Acknowledgement of Country is losing its value by extreme overuse. Opening a zoom meeting? A budget meeting in the office? Parent teacher meeting? Pre school?
The over-saturation is ridiculous and we need to have a chat about when it’s appropriate to preserve its impact.
Should the Welcome to Country be preserved for significant events only?

In Queensland you have a major issue with vaccine hesitancy, thanks to that CHO. There are people who caught Covid around Australia, thanks to the AZ advice from that CHO.
In Queensland we listen to & act on health advice from our Chief Health Officer and allow her to answer questions regularly.
That’s a key reason why our state under

Early this year I spoke to senior health officials, ministers both in state and federal governments who did not think 90% was possible. After all the BS of 2021, if Australia can reach 90% vax (no reason we won’t), then that’s one hell of an achievement.

Three briefings a week is more than enough. The daily briefing just feeds into a collective anxiety, and many people have tuned out weeks ago for this reason.
Sorry, Chris. Totally disagree. When the govt has forced people to not work, get vaccinated, get tested, stay at home etc. The least they can do is provide a live daily update. Especially with cases still so high.

False.
@ChrisMinnsMP
argued for lifting curfews for impacted LGA’s well before your cabinet even consisted it. Don’t rewrite history.
So NSW Labor’s approach to COVID-19 was to have…
❌ Harsher Lockdowns
❌ Longer curfews
❌ Slower vaccination rates
❌ More lost jobs and income
…sounds a lot like Victorian Labor.
No Thanks!!!

We saw similar reactions to P1 (Gamma) out of Brazil, and Beta out of South Africa. Both failed to cause worldwide havoc. And while Delta showed us up, we are now one of the most vaccinated places on earth. We are well prepared and there is zero cause for breathless panic.
Some of the sensationalist reporting does seem a little premature this morning.
We still have to live *with* covid - that reality has not gone away.
