#COVID19au Yesterday Federation sought a response to a series of contradictory statements including: 👇🏻
• the need to observe social distancing protocols which are impossible to implement in classrooms, corridors and most school playgrounds;
• statements that children are low-risk agents for the virus at school but suddenly become high-risk agents in shopping centres and public playgrounds, while also ignoring the fact that tens of thousands are travelling on trains and buses each morning and afternoon;
• statements expressing concern about kids infecting grandparents but not teachers, many of whom are also grandparents,
The response from the Commonwealth Deputy Chief Medical Officer was “Sorry. I can’t reconcile the contradictions.” His response to concerns regarding Schools for Specific Purposes was totally unsatisfactory.
Prime Minister:"events as extended families and
gatherings... even around the large family table in the family home...these are not things we can do"
Meanwhile in schools???

Meanwhile in schools???
