Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 105 .....

Not sure how @billbowtell got himself into the partisan nastiness but the pandemic has been a test case on why the 'experts' predictions need to be treated with great caution. (via @evmulholland)

Watching our own Brad "Chad" Hazzard - the most local Northern Beaches guy, ever - describe Redfern as the 'crossroads of Australia' is why we are living in not just a Pandemic but a golden age for content. The greatest Health minister since Augustus.

A very good pro vaccination message from Chad here.

Some pretty sharp digs at QLD and WA for their lax vaccination efforts.

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
Delayed statistics for New South Wales in the past 24hrs:
- 71.5% fully vaccinated
- 89.8% first dose
- 580 new local cases
- 79,000+ tests

NSW will commence reopening on Monday, Oct 11.

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
Dr Chant is right here - the whole point of vaccinations is not that we will not have cases *but* that we will not have as many serious cases & hospitalisations. To govern is to choose & we have to risk manage reopening like adults.

The salient fact of all New South Wales politics is that the Labor party never split. Labor kept its Right & that is why NSW Labor has been so dominant historically. A lot of wet liberals who could not get into Labor went into the Liberals (where they proved electoral death).
The upshot of all elections in NSW is the winner is whoever wins socially conservative / "not rich" voters, esp migrant voters, in the suburbs that surround Sydney from north to west. In short, You win the Telegraph demo, not the ABC/Herald. Winning the ABC=you are losing.
Chris Minns is the best recent Labor leader in NSW in recent times - very normal guy from the suburbs & ALP's Right who could win a lot of the voters that Gladys & Morrison won in 2019. Labor often goes to Right of Coalition on law & order cf if Speakman goes soft on crime.

- 67.1% fully vaccinated
- 88.4% first dose
- 623 new local cases
- 76,000+ tests

NB: Gladys remains NSW Premier until there is a new Liberal leader (X). Gladys then goes to the Governor to resign and advises the Governor to send for new leader X to form a new ministry.

Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 97 ….

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
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.👇

Gladystan statistics for New South Wales in the past 24hrs:
- 62.9% fully vaccinated
- 86.7% first dose
- 941 new local cases
- 120,000+ tests

Mass vaccinations getting NSW to reopening on Oct 11

Amazing that in the era of the 'Great British Bake Off' that Keir Starmer could not see the importance of keeping the Bakers (defined broadly) in the 'big tent', or, in the 'big kitchen', as it were.
"BFAWU emphasised that far from leaving the political scene, it intends to become more political and battle for £15 per hour for all workers, the abolition of zero hours contracts and an end to a lower minimum wage for young people."

Going to be busy diving into Keir Starmer alienating the Bakers union in the UK … what a time to be alive. Man does not live on bread alone etc but very hard to win a general election when the bakers union wants to mill you and slice you up, toast style

Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 95 ….

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
It is the Delta strain and whether you think Daniel Andrews is the best or worst Premier - or just an overpromoted political hack - no government of an open society can do much to prevent the Delta spread except make vaccines available & jabs accessible

This by @apatrickafr is right: @GladysB really has been the hope of the side in 2021. Everyone in New South Wales has carried Australia - esp the reception of returning Australians with Plague - on our broad, blue-jerseyed back.
