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.
“it is vaccination” and “delta is different and we need to treat it differently”. She will not put in place strategies that are not going to work.
So it is all new and there is no rule book but she knows what will not work. She sure does.

yep, police. Also army. She is really putting out there that compliance is the problem and armed agents of the state are the solution.
people who are not mobile, people who are not vaccinated. She would never ever risk the health of her citizens. People who disagree unforchunately are not looking at the facts.
Far out. She has lost it. If she ever had it, she has lost all reason.

asked about real estate inspections, Berejiklian flicks to Hazzard, who pretends the issue is second homes. It isn’t. He then indulges his favourite compliance routine, telling voters who breach the patchwork NSW health orders - which he signs - are “stupid”.
the forces of the law are coming after you, says Hazzard. He tells the strictest orders lie again. There are not even the same level of restrictions by SUBURB in western Sydney, so it is logically impossible for the whole state to be subject to the “strictest orders”.
the orders are there, just comply with them, says Hazzard. He then leans on Dr Chant. Again, it is health minister Hazzard who signs the piecemeal LGA-by2LGA and suburb-by-suburb differential restrictions under various health orders.
he has picked up the phone and spoken to “the unions”. Goodness. Busy busy. Like Hunt, he is boasting about a conversation because this is what passes for “working” to Liberal Party politicians.
she has “complete faith in the police and ADF taking all those necessary actions”. She thanks them. The journos are getting the shits. “People at home don’t like it when you do that” says Berejiklian with a nervous huff. Lmao done some focus groups have we.
this person at home does not like it when you brush off questions about corrupt spending of public money with an imperious shoo fly gesture, Premier.
Berejiklian flicks back to Chant. The journos persist. Treat our health advisor with respect in three, two,
the evidence about curfews is not strong, says Chant. She has asked police to particularly focus on density conditions in small shops.
asking Chant about increased fines? Seriously? Why are they not putting the heat back on Berejiklian?
Chant is holding herself together much better than the politicians tho. She humanises people in the locked down LGAs, drawing attention to “the disease burden in those communities”. Finally, a line other than M0aR CoPs.
that Tamworth and Armidale do not have extra cases is great, but can not be compared to western and south western Sydney. How dare she.
she, Berejiklian, would not feel comfortable about going somewhere that people are not vaccinated. From the woman who was not comfortable walking past homeless people in Martin Place on way to her ginormous salaried “job” of being a Liberal Party politician.
Warboys adds to the compliance comms. They are all deeply focused on blaming and heavily policing specific electorates sorry LGAs.
Q: is there a fine for not providing crucial health information?
Hazzard is speechless for several seconds as even his brain clocks the irony in this question😈

he recovers himself - no of course the question does not apply to government politicians lol - and says there are fines for failing to co-operate with a police investigation. This is less innocuous than it sounds. Police “open an investigation” once they start questioning you.
come forward and get vaccinated. We have had supply issues obviously. Berejiklian is back on her bullshit. Time to wrap.
no corruption questions today, or if there were I missed it. Thanks, ausmedia!
