Berejiklian is at Shanes Park to announce a 500 hectare national park. She says second doses are just off 60% which seems to mean over 16s as she then adds 12-15 year old first dose figures.
incredibly rare sighting of Berejiklian mentioning when unvacccinated people will be able to “participate”. She reels off cases and deaths and goes back to the Shanes Park announcement.
btw Shanes Park is a semi-rural spot between Mt Druitt and the Blacktown Road of mostly jerry-built shacks interspersed with land-value wealth McMansions. The minister is bouncing with benevolence for western Sydney and calls the park “your very own Noah’s ark”.
lol the NSW Liberals are doing a western Sydney campaign stop here. These people always talk about western Sydney like it is a foreign country - and charity case.
there will only be a few weeks between 70 and 80% [double dose of over 16s] says Berejiklian. She is promising to foreshadow re-opening details. Announcements of promises of plans - yup, we are campaigning.
our re-opening will be step by step, says the Premier. It will not be overnight. NSW has “provided free services to download our QR code” to businesses. “Compliance regime” for small biz gets a nervous chuckle.
asked about re-opening public pools, Berejiklian says it is part of her “push to make sure” people enjoy the warm weather in a covid safe way.
ABC news switches across to Dan Andrews, for the obvious reason.
FWIW here are the NSW daily stats:
