Dear @Dom_Perrottet,
Please know that staged photo-ops of men drinking beer and pressers with zero women present are offensive. And they send a deeply disturbing message. btw, I'm a middle-aged man. #COVID19nsw #nswpol

It’s NOT just harmful to older people.

Book your vaccination.

Today.

Exactly eight years ago I was on a leaky boat in the middle of the ocean, desperately wishing to reach the land. But when I finally reached the land, I was detained instead of being given the protection I needed.

Today, I am still in detention. Today, I take my wish back.

Lots of priorities and can’t believe we are in this situation. I’m just worried about year 12s having to go into school for exams.

[cathyoc @cathyoc]

With lockdown continuing for a while and HSC looming, shouldn’t year 12s be a priority for vaccination?

Had a COVID test this week. Three things worth mentioning: only one car before me in the drive thru queue; negative result came back in 14 hours; AND the wand is smaller and doesn’t hurt your brain any more. Please get tested if you have any symptoms.

BEST ADVERTISEMENT FOR VACCINATION

Noone who has received two doses of a vaccine is hospitalised with #COVID19Aus

[Emily Mulligan @emilycmulligan]

So 30 people went to a party, 24 now have covid. The 6 that didn’t get it were vaccinated health workers.

I’m losing my mind that we aren’t all vaccinated already.

As the UK's health minister gets stood down for cheating on his wife, Australian politicians express confusion why they didn't just promote him to deputy PM

🦌🍆🍑 TFW you and your mate sunbake naked on a beach, get startled by a deer, run into a national park and get lost, require SES and police assistance, and then get fined $1000 each because you breached Sydney's COVID public health orders

Just published an article with @ben_hr⁩ showing CALD communities have easier access to cancer information from overseas health and local ethnic organisations than Australian sources. Even with fatalistic beliefs on cancer, people often accept treatment. https://t.co/iDyBiXMSgj
