up to 177 cases in the wild from 134K tests. These are less depressing numbers than we have been getting this last week. Yes I know a day does not a trend make.
cuz in Tamworth told me last Wednesday that everywhere she goes has been full mask and check in compliance for weeks. Anecdata, but I’ll take it.
I think we did need reassurance that the NSW hospital system is coping tbh. Especially after the devastating news from Liverpool.
oh ffs. She wheels out the health professionals to reassure the public that the health system is coping and then barrels in to politicise vax status of ICU patients.
lmao Berejiklian just told someone asking about her endemic corruption to STEP BACK like a question on her handouts of our cash to pet projects in seats they want to win is a *health* risk.
please respect this press conference is the Premier’s response to being asked why she intervened to gift millions of public dollars to a clay pigeon shooting club in the seat then held by her sleazy married boyfriend.
okay we have reached press conference utility saturation point by 11:30am again today. She is just reciting her #CovidComms stump speech in response to every question now. Happens earlier every day.
hahaha Liberals will never get over Paul Keating and Wayne Swan being internationally recognised as actual best treasurers. Berejiklian just made up an award for the shitty fundamentalist NSW treasurer, a man who hates her.
this formulation she leans on so heavily - “opportunities” for her “to consider” easing restrictions FREEDOM FREEDOM - is meaningless trash. Pure politics. Nobody has politicised the pandemic more than Sydney Liberals.
are Cremorne and Mosman going to get [more] social privileges before the rest of Sydney [paraphrased]?
A: some lie that completely contradicts what she did to Penrith LGA yesterday.
not sure why Hazzard was window dressing only today but not a peep from the health minister. Maybe they have some polling on his avuncular racist bumbling.

newspoll presser two. Morrison is in low pitch serious voice mode. Won’t last long.
he says it is a tuff day in NSW and he wants to get strayans to christmas, like anyone in Sydney has our eyes on fucking christmas.
he then starts bitching about the IPCC report. Why should our *economic futures* be on the line? he whines like a spoilt brat.

Berejiklian has re-worked her framing of wild cases again. Today it was “we understand around a third” - the proportion is potentially as high as two thirds, or 254 out of 356 - were infectious in community.
the cop just said “those nine LGAs”. Either they added the rest of Penrith LGA overnight or this is misinformation. How people in Penrith LGA are supposed to know what health orders are in force is anyone’s guess.
asked what she is going to do about escalating case numbers, Berejiklian says part of the problem is community compliance and also delta strain. So police then.

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.

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.
