π€ I wonder what happened in the middle of July to switch vaccine distribution policy from strongly anti-partisan (send most doses to Victoria) to strongly partisan (send most doses to NSW)? It's a mystery!
Could it be that the way Qld and WA have drifted from the average since March is something to do with the fact that they have more eliminated Covid so don't need as many urgent doses as some other states? π€
Could it be that Tasmania and South Australia outperform because they have markedly higher proportions of retirees than the other states, so have more at-risk population? π€
The Northern Territory also has a higher at-risk population, but I can see another reason why its placement doesn't work: It's *not a Liberal state*!
I am fully on board for serious reporting of pork-barrelling favouritism of government seats, of which there is plenty.
There is quite enough genuine scandal around without having to cook up misleading nonsense like this.

Oh one last thing. I don't know when this chart was first posted, but it stops at Sept. 1.
So far this month, Victoria has delivered 1.89m doses vs. 2.67m doses in NSW β in other words, about 45% of its over-16 population vs. 41% in NSW.

So its allocation rushes ahead the minute it's actually dealing with an out-of-control outbreak, the same way that NSW's allocation rushed ahead in July.
I wonder if these facts could be connected?
