students in the 8 LGAs will not have F2F education for the foreseeable future. There will be a “flexible model” for students outside the western and south western Sydney LGAs. Incredible how her HSC call just happened to turn out.
call to arms. Drink.
up to 200 of the 291 reported cases were infectious in the community.
the health minister is addressing fully locked down HSC students in the western and south western LGAs directly, telling them to get Pfizer. Sounds like an aural personification of the fellow kids meme. He does not address wealthy LGA HSC students with “flexible arrangements”.
she fomented rage against kids in low income areas by re-allocating Pfizer doses, despite the overwhelming evidence they would be able to sit their exams F2F and then tells them nope no chance but students *outside* the 8 LGAs will have flexible arrangements.
Berejiklian says she knows how hard it is for those families where students are sitting the HSC, a lie.
her messy muddled HSC flip flopping has caused maximum uncertainty to students in low income areas who ALSO do essential frontline retail work. Don’t kid ya selves those Pfizer doses are for their education. They can not go back to school anyway, and were never going to.
this rolling HSC decision-making was always and is only for wealthy Liberal and National Party voting parents ROI on their [very highly publicly subsidised] elitist school fees. There is no other criteria, but she will not say so, which is why it is such a fucking mess.

I block snitch-taggers, which is a word you can google.

opening spiel: most Australians now [again] locked down. The worsening of the Sydney outbreak, its spread to the regions, Vic and Qld: the reality has set in” says discovery doctrine David. #Insiders

Morrison is giving a stump speech.
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.

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.

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

maxines. He knows not what he says.
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.
