2/3 I calculated we need 68%min & preferably 80% of total pop to be vaccinated. Grattan Institute recommends "fully vaccinating 80% of all Australians, & 95% of the over-70s", to "give us the best chance of gradually returning to normal life – with open borders & no lockdowns".

3/3 NZ is targeting 78% of total population and Singapore is targeting 75% of total population. National Cabinet modelling must to be published for public review & for Australians to understand why Government targets are so low compared to estimated local and overseas targets.

Ridiculously low. All opening up at that stage other than ensuring more dead Australians is shutting back down again.

Step B, which is 70%, is a tiny tiny step forward. Why should vaccinated people be totally held hostage while waiting for stragglers? If you want to promote wide adoption of vaccines you need to show people they work. By having slightly different rules for vaxxed you do that.

And these thresholds have FAILED in every country that has achieved them. (Israel, UAE, Malta..). Do they read the news??

No worries Mary-Louise, the plan for a plan depends on access to vaccines. In other words, the future does not look positive.

Because NSW is striking out on it’s own, attempting to Break the Federation. Refusing to go with accepted policy of elimination but Is going for “Living With The Virus “. Following the failed Boris Johnson model. Because Victoria Wrote the rule book???

Thank you Professor. Have been listening to your advise the last 18 months. The federal government needs to be transparent with the vaccine supply , distribution n all matters with the vaccine.

Agree. The announced targets are low and not adequate. Children should not be excluded from the equation.

There’ll be a big uptake when Pfizer/Moderna is offered to under 40s.
