Let’s see what we can find. As always, this polling was done Wed–Sun and the margin of error for top line figures is about ±3 percentage points. Here we go...
“Younger people are more likely than older people to have experienced the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on their health... Younger people are most likely to have noticed a decline in both their mental wellbeing and physical health (53% and 37% respectively).”
And that’s the end of this fortnight’s Essential polling. As always, the numbers are at essentialvision.com.au and you can sign up for email notifications. I am not connected with Essential in any way.

I’ll be tweeting from the APNIC 52 conference this afternoon, starting shortly at 1300 AEST. Program at conference.apnic.net/52/program/sch…. Follow or mute #APNIC52 as you prefer.
First up for me is the APNIC - FIRST Security session number one, on the Lazarus Bear Armada (LBA) DDoS campaign, a CSIR case study from Vanuatu, and recent supply chain attacks targeting Mongolia. conference.apnic.net/52/program/sch…#APNIC52
@abcadelaide I’ve been pushed back half an hour because the current conversation about gambling adverts on TV and social media, and its effect on kids. It’ll now be at 1720 ACST / 1750 AEST. Unless a better story pops up, because this is live radio.

Gaurab Raj Upadhaya is saying that in the last 18 months, i.e. the pandemic times, APNIC has seen more internet traffic than ever before. As you might imagine. I hope we get to see some graphs later. #APNIC52
The keynote by Kathleen Moriarty, CTO for the Center for Internet Security, is a curious topic. “Role of Service Providers in Transforming Security”. Curious ’cos as service providers try to make the whole thing encrypted all the way down, governments don’t want that. #APNIC52
Starting shortly at 1200 AEST, the ASPI event “The road from 9/11: The evolution of counterterrorism and extremism”.
I’m interested to hear what Karen Andrews has to say, though I suspect it’ll just be boilerplate. The Morrison government isn’t notable for its intellectual heft.
What is it with institutional event MCs that they have to read everyone’s entire CV when introducing them? Karen Andrews can simply be introduced as Minister for Home Affairs. Anyway here she is.
The first part of Andrews’ speech is just 9/11 boilerplate. Terrorism is bad, first responders brave, roll call of terrorist attacks, etc. We’re in pandemic lockdown now, but after the pandemic we’ll gather in large groups again and the spectre of terrorism will return.
I know it’s 1pm but before I do anything else I need to tell you about the dream I had, before it fades from memory.
I dreamed I had a friend who was a duck, just an ordinary-looking Pacific Black Duck, whose hobby was recreating scenes from famous movies.
For example, he recreated Jennifer Beals’ performance from “Flashdance” using a series of water-filled enamelled trays lined up on the lawn, and he’d splash from one to the next in his joyful dance.
