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.

Are we taking this into account: arstechnica.com/science/2021…? Also: When everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated, are we really going to wait for the laggards? No. So everyone is going to get covid: mildly or otherwise depending on vaccination. People need to know this.

Or not. No where else has lockdowns for 3 cases or on the matter of Alice Springs zero cases (🤦🏻). We can open with less- other countries have. Easy for you to say Mary-Louise on your six figure salary that hasn’t been cut during covid.

Mary-Louise not sure if u heard the great news, @Senator_Patrick was fighting in the Crts that National Cabinet isnt a real Cabinet, & he WON – A Judge ruled its NOT. Meaning Morrison & co cant use the excuse of “Cabinet in Confidence” when it comes to releasing any Health Advice

I’m afraid we will have to continue to rely on our Premiers to keep us safe.

Hi Mary, Can you confirm? 1. Modelling was specifically for Delta and Lambda variants, not Alpha, and not based on a vaccine like polio. 2. What is the R0 of alpha, delta and Lambda in the vaccinated? 3. Confirm HI 80% and not 90-95%. Vaccinated can catch and infect others.

National cabinet doesn’t actually act on anything. Meanwhile NSW seems to be preparing for “Freedom Day” on August 29, if 50% of adults “vaccinated” (maybe only 1 jab). smh.com.au/politics/nsw/bere…

Thank you Prof McLaws for your outspoken advocacy that makes our community safer. Is there anything that you can do about the abysmal actions of the Liberal Club at your institution? [Unfortunately I suspect the answer, for you, is "no"] smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Federal Liberal MP linked to student campaign to end the lockdown

The Sydney University Liberal Club, with a senior member who works for Liberal MP Jason Falinski, is running an anti-lockdown website, contradicting state and federal branches of the party.

I’m waiting for @DanielAndrewsMP version of what was “agreed in principal” before these greedy nut bags try to repeat their lies so many time they think it’s the truth.

What is wrong with you? Totally ignoring the fact that Phases 2 and 3 are not 'opening up' anyway, they are very conservative settings that just slightly move us forward. Attitudes like this mean we will be a permanent hermit state (that will have health impacts too).
