finally, a NSW government policy that will bend the curve downwards. Give it a week. This will work.

I mean my perspective is wholly western Sydney-centric - for the obvious reason lol - sending love to regional NSW - but ever since she unleashed it across high-density low-income insecurely-employed south west and western Sydney, this is where the thing HAS to be contained.

it hits me at odd moments, this lockdown. Joined my first union in 1985. Been a casual worker almost ten years. Saw a tweet about test and isolate payments and burst into tears.

join your union.

“give it a week” means “do not expect the curve to start flattening overnight” but big ups to everyone in the replies who assumed I am dim enough to suggest one week of test and isolate payments can end a pandemic👍🏼

Berejiklian is up. She starts with testing numbers and 415 new cases of community transmission. The lowest possible infectious in community figure is given, as usual. Stay home, get tested and isolate, she says.

the main suburbs of concern. She is acting completely business as usual. Food and to get vaccinated and that’s it, are reasons to leave home in Blacktown, Mt Druitt, Merrylands, Doonside.

a passing reference to “the deputy premier” and “regional NSW” and “our Indigenous communities” and she barrels onto thanking the prime minister for his extra dose announcement, 5 million doses, and bumper vax days for tradies.

the prime minister is up. He wants to thank Australians. He does this for a bit and then thanks *those Australians* who are complying with the NSW health orders.

not five minutes ago Anastasia Palasczuzk confirmed her governments response to the state-wide NSW lockdown. Now Scott Morrison has confirmed his support for the NSW state wide lockdown. The NSW Premier has not yet spoken on the NSW statewide lockdown.

a million doses of hope blah blah blah

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn and 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewett. The interview is with shadow industrial relations minister Tony Burke. I block snitch taggers.

the “NSW delta outbreak” has put the whole state into lockdown. #Insiders

Sydney rules tightened, says Speers. Delta in the regions, reaching “Indigenous communities with very low rates of vaccination”. #Insiders

not even 460+ new cases have distracted Berejiklian from her misleading announcements on wild cases. She tacked on a “likely to increase given some are still under investigation”, but still uses the lowest possible figure.

she says we have reached her 50% vaccinated target. No clarity on first or second dose. So misleading. Really dangerously dishonest.

and of course the official response is police, for compliance, because there are people doing the wrong thing and cause a “major major setback”. They are sending riot squad into Mt Druitt.
