up to 111 cases were infectious in the community. Berejiklian calls this 50, and repeats - as she does every day - that the lower, political comms number is the one she is focused on, because freedom.
correction, up to 129 were infectious in the community. Only 70 of the 199 were isolated for the full infectious period.
it does concern her, says Berejiklian, that 50 people were infectious in the community. She repeats this artificially understated number, and her focus on it. Sounds like the NSW cabinet raked over the decision to broadcast this misleading-at-best figure at length.
remember to not interact with any humans and to shop at big corporate retail outlets. Unforchunately.
fact check: as documented by the PIAC in 2017, entire families have had to relocate - to leave Sydney, forever - as the only solution to escaping targeted harassment, intimidation and criminalisation that police call “welfare checks”.

he fondly lingers long on the 30,000 dead Australians of his imagination.
He repeats his lives and livelihoods slogan that is obviously polling well, presumably because the March 2020 measures polled well.
the actual prime minister thanks an army general for “taking over my job of whole of government” pandemic response. Unusually honest, for Morrison, who is a compulsive liar.
a year ago I published a blog titled “If there is a Morrison doctrine, it is mission creep” covering all this (and more, like militarisation of his acknowledgement of country). Good to see the mainstream starting to catch on.
gonna go out on a limb and guess the SMH oped author writing his analysis of the obvious a full year later is a white male on a secure income. But the bigger issue is how much more evidence there is that ADF personnel should not be anywhere near Arab and Afghan communities.
the ADF are not excellent in the “military art”. Summary executions by ADF elites are so grotesque that the otherwise most violent outfit on earth - US Marines - were disturbed by our blokes.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are ABC Indigenous Affairs editor Bridget Brennan, ABC western Sydney reporter Kathleen Calderwood, 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher and podcaster Mark Kenny.
The interview is with NSW health minister Brad Hazzard.
opening spiel is Sydney struggles, QLD snap lockdowns, and the twelveteenth announcement that political “leaders” have a plan. #Insiders
montage is Premiers plus the PM on various lockdowns and the latest iteration of Morrison’s lockdown-vaccine-vaccine-lockdown blame-shifting rhetoric. Leaders bickering over credit for the federal disaster payment. Soundtrack is the Police (King of Pain) #Insiders
he is making it up as he goes along because he has not got an answer to the question because it is based on an announcement, not an actual public health policy.
ADF are not sworn law enforcement officers in NSW. They are under the command of Mick Fuller. The ADF did many tasks in Vittoria last year. He is “very pleased that the request has finally been made of the NSW government”.
Police, government, army, what’s the difference right.
ABC radio reporting that NSW police have requested ADF onto the streets of Sydney. The police.
it was Morrison mate Fuller of course. The actual claim is that NSW Police Commissioner made a “formal request” for ADF support. On whose authority this formality was created they do not say.
there it is. Fuller, who is not the executive head of NSW - Elliot is his boss and Berejiklian is his boss - called Morrison, who is not the executive head of the ADF - the GG is their boss.
