up to 176 cases in the wild. Testing numbers are down by about 13,000.

Berejiklian has dropped the pretence that the Homebush blitz was about HSC students in the 8 LGAs - a drum Hazzard banged all week - and says the main focus is to vax frontline food workers.
he doesn’t say so, but Warboys is addressing the beach pics that flooded sm yesterday. Police will patrol beaches, he says, to make sure people are exercising and not gathering.
we have reached the blather-same-messages-over-and-over stage even earlier than usual in this presser.
Q: what is the government doing about the 50% of surveyed workers who say they are not supported by their boss?
A: can I just thank business who tell us they are very supportive and covid safe plans which is good for employees and most importantly is good for biz-

we heard you, Premier.
“getting people back to work”. No, not unemployed people. She means people who have been working all along, gifting our home utilities and infrastructure to our bosses.
Q: you are telling people in Port Stephens to come forward and get tested. There are no testing sites open in the area on Sunday.
A: obviously we will take advice on that.

she politicises the vax status of people who have died, again.
she wants to be very clear about 50% or 60% vaccination, says Berejiklian. Like she was completely unclear about one or two doses. She says she can look for opportunities to start easing restrictions at 6 million jabs *on health advice*.
talks over reporter to deny that she and Morrison are at odds on the vaccine-lockdown-lockdown-vaccine comms, a lie.
she does believe, based on the health advice, that when you get to that 50%, 60% there are opportunities to start easing restrictions. Then she skips forward to the Doherty report 70%, 80% that she was going to delineate from her 50%, 60% a minute ago.
and I do not apologise for that, says Berejiklian on heavy handed policing in areas with a huge number of casual frontline workers.
Q to Warboys: do you need to get tougher on beach areas that do not seem to be taking this as seriously as the rest of Sydney?
A: it correlates to specific areas where there is high transmission (ie casual worker households) and “people do not want to do the right thing”.
