NSW Opposition Leader, Chris Minns is live now.
I'll live tweet below

#covid19nsw #nswpol #auspol
Minns: "Dominic Perrottet says this will be 'the last wave' but expert after expert has said there will be more variants..."
#covid19nsw #nswpol #auspol
Ryan Park: "This is a Premier that doesn't seem to be listening and doesn't seem to be learning."

#covid19nsw #nswpol #auspol
Chris Minns tells us Perrottet called the people warning on the risks of #letitrip "alarmists and bedwetters".
#covid19nsw #nswpol #auspol
Over in ten minutes. We just saw the grabs Minns hopes will make it to the 6pm news. Disappointing. I'd like to hear more about what he has to say. He'll want us to trust him and his team in March '23. He needs to make time to talk with the electorate.

Minns said Perrottet claimed Omicron would be "the last wave" "yesterday on breakfast television". I haven't seen the clip, but there's only a few breakfast TV shows in Australia, so I'm sure it will be easy enough to find to confirm exactly what the Premier said.

NSW, Australia & Covid. A🧵
To hold Perrottet/Morrison to account we must:
1) Compare where we are with where wise countries (NZ, Sing, Korea) are today.
2) Compare what #letitrip has done vs where we'd be with sensible public health measures.

 #covid19nsw #nswpol #auspol
Perrottet's spin. He:
-Compares where we are against scenarios published recently by his govt. They're a distraction.
-Compares where we are today with the pain of lockdowns. The alternative to #letitrip was caution, not locking down. Don't buy it.

It's gone from:
"Don't look at the cases - look at the hospitalisations!"
to
"Not hospitalisations, look at the ICU admissions!"
to
"Sure, ICU is high, but look at deaths!"
to
"Yes, deaths are high, but look at the health of some of the dead!"

NSW Covid-19 Update this morning at 10am.
Perrottet's careless #letitrip approach in NSW has just recorded its deadliest day.
I think mismanagement like this needs witnesses, so I'll live tweet some of it. Join me if you like.

Before we begin, some context:
Here's the link to the ABC YouTube live stream of today's update.

NSW Media Conference with Perrottet, Hazzard & Dr Chant 10am today. I'll watch & live tweet below. It's way better with good company, so set an alarm for 9:55am, pop the kettle on & join me, if you like.
#covid19nsw #auspoI
Okay I'm standing by. ABC's YouTube link for the NSW Media Conference is here. I wonder if they'll delay because the PM is speaking?
Here's the context for today's media conference, which is just starting.

When I hear that most of the Covid deaths overnight were elders, it’s like hearing that a library of precious books has caught fire & all the stories are gone. The painful, preventable deaths brought about by Australia’s #letitrip policy failure are tragedies, every one of them.
Our elders are sacred. All of them. Some of them teach us about the beauty of gentleness, tenderness & touch when language & memory has faded. Others because they hold wisdom that comes from years of paying attention. They’re our ancestors: the people that held us as babies.
When a politician tells us that their policy decisions are breaking elders, I want them to break down. I want sobbing. I want sensitivity. Regret. I think I watch the media conferences looking for signs of humanity. But they talk like they broke something that was already broken.
