The testing results here are weirdly low - suggests that there are many (with no doubt legit reasons to be apprehensive about authorities) not coming forward to get tested.👇

Obviously, Victoria should be the priority for doses and for mass vaccinations. Every Australian has an interest in seeing Victoria not be overwhelmed by the Delta strain. Good on Andrews for mentioning Pharmacies - doctors lobby have much to answer for

No one on any side of politics wants to accept that this pandemic has spread because we did not vaccinate all our essential workers quickly enough & they often live in poor, dense, urban housing. Our housing problems are health problems.

Tbf to Jereon Weimar - who I think does a hard job as well as anyone could - the reality is that people congregate for essential work as well as football etc and the virus spreads. We probably as a country did not do the vax group priorities as well as we could have

Daniel Andrews is right here. As with Morrison and Porter. Asking a head of government about criminal investigations is wrong & any answers that a PM or Premier would give would be inappropriate. Let police and crown prosecutors take their course
