Last night I tweeted a bunch of increasingly-ridiculous David Brent quotes instead of live-tweeting the PM’s 60 Minutes interview and barely anybody could tell them apart.

That’s impressive, @ScottMorrisonMP.
For the record, the Prime Minister of Australia didn’t dismiss Dolly Parton as “just a big pair of tits”.

And Jenny Morrison didn’t call her husband a weasel. (At least not on national TV.)
If you couldn’t tell the difference, you weren’t alone.

I know many are steering clear of Scott’s puff piece on #60Mins.

I’ll live tweet a couple of his best quotes.
On increasingly unflattering opinion polls:

“Statistics are like a lamp post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.”
On declining public sentiment:

“You have to accept that some days you’re the pigeon and some days you’re the statue.”

Strap yourself in. Tractor has some questions for @BradHazzard and @NSWHealth.

So, NSW has suddenly stopped reporting how many Covid patients are being treated via Hospital in the Home.
The last reported figure (to Sep 14) was nearly 3912 people - nearly four times the number of people being treated for Covid as hospital inpatients.

Now, that info has vanished from the report. The new report has some important fine print.
Particularly given that one major Sydney hospital “outsourced” about 100 of its inpatients last week. The majority went to private hospitals, and the rest went to rehab facilities.

This, obviously, resulted in a big drop in the total number of Covid patients in its care.

The Vic journos interrogating the police commissioner about why particular tactics were and weren’t used yesterday.

Now Richie is asking the Premier if “there’s any chance you will change your view on mandatory vaccines in construction” in light of the protests.
The exact journos who have undermined the public health response and done their best to create division in Victoria are now screaming at the Premier about what eventuated yesterday.
Another journo has again asked if mandatory vax for construction workers can be abandoned:

Premier says ~350 of the current Covid cases in construction - across 150 different locations.

Richie argues that it is a big industry.

Dan counters that it’s one of the few open. 🙄

“I think it’s time to inject a little more optimism into discussions around Covid-19,” @nick_coatsworth has told the Senate Select Committee into our Covid response.

The hearing is being chaired by @SenKatyG, whose own daughter has been sick with Covid.
Coatsworth has been asked to explain what happens when a patient needs to be ventilated.

“They’re heading to ICU where they get one-to-one nursing,” he says, no doubt aware that those ratios are about to be watered down because hospitals in NSW and Vic are so overwhelmed.
Now @MarylouiseMcla1 is up. She says it’s ill-advised to rely solely on modelling, even though Aus has excellent modellers. We need to consider what the ‘R’ number is doing, hotspots and cultural behaviour etc. We need to look at lived experience of countries around us.

Scotty is in full spin mode. Reckons we told France months ago we had issues with the submarine deal.

“I made it very clear a conventional submarine would no longer be meeting our strategic interests and what we needed those boats to do. That was communicated many months ago.
“To suggest that somehow, this decision … could have been taken without causing this disappointment, I think would be very naive.”
Sounds like Macron doesn’t want a bar of him.

Journo: Biden is meeting with Macron. Will you do so before you meet with European leaders, and with Biden, tomorrow?

Scott: “No, there's not an opportunity for that at this time. I'm sure that opportunity will come in time.”
