@AmboRudd @MrKRudd @SecretaryBurgum Why do you want our superannuation funds supercharging economic growth in US? I would prefer they are used more effectively in Australia.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

I am so angry at Crisafulli’s LNP govt in Qld. The govt owns Ergon which is the only electricity provider I can use in Central Qld. Without warning they have reduced the solar rebate from 12.377 cents to 8.66. A 30% reduction!

I report these as spam but got a third one this morning saying foreign student fees will double & Aust students free. 😝

[Antony Green - elections @AntonyGreenElec]

Just got my second unsolicited text from H Fong of Trumpet Of Patriots. This one promising an 80% cut in immigration and 20 minute fast trains to the CBD. Not sure where from or which CBD.

@drvyom Ditto with mother-in-law at Dr. Similar reaction when she is assessed by ACAT etc. Eg, have you had any falls? No. But what about when you fell coming out of optometrist? That wasn’t a fall it was a slip! What about the bruises on leg from falling on stairs? That was a trip. 🤯

I am moving over to the Bluesky app. Though there are a lot of people I enjoy following on X I am finding X algorithms are increasingly filling my feed with posts that I am NOT interested in reading. Hoping Bluesky will be more kind. https://t.co/v4FLrEttDM

[Solo Monk @JJKALE2]

I don't know about you all but If I saw more of Laura Tingle on my @abcnews and less of Greg Jennette, Patricia Karvelas and David Speers, I'd switch back to old aunty again.

Who else?

But NOT with access to a choice of up to date COVID Vaccines. @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP you need to protect Australians from COVID.

[Australian Government @ausgov]

The Australian Government is supporting you with tax cuts, energy bill relief, and changes to student loans.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

@Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP Why don’t Australians have access to other vaccines? Why can we only access an outdated Pfizer vaccine? You need to do better.

🇯🇵Japan: "COVID-19 routine vaccinations, mainly for people aged 65 or older, began in Japan on Tuesday in a program running until March 31 next year."

"Available in the program are 5 vaccines that can combat the JN.1 omicron variant"

@Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP we need access to Novavax ASAP.

[Sue J @SMpwrgr]

Dear @Mark_Butler_MP

Pls pick up the 📞 call Novavax & say “what can I do to urgently expedite access to yr updated cvd JN.1 vaccine 4 Australians?”

& do it

We KNOW you can give emergency authorisation - & make no mistake, this IS an emergency

Prof Halton would be appalled

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

@Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP we need Novovax in Australia ASAP.

[Sue J @SMpwrgr]

#Novavax research 🧵

Jrnl of Infectious Diseases finds Novavax has lower reactogenicity than mRNA

🙏 Jo 4 sharing this review of multiple studies of mRNA vs Novavax Cvd vaccines

TLDR: vaccine type impacts degree of adverse events & mRNA more reactogenic than protein vaccine

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

@Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP When will Australia have access to Novovax? You promised to do better than the last Govt.

[Denis - The COVID info guy - @BigBadDenis]

🇨🇦Canada: Health Canada approves Novavax's updated COVID-19 vaccine for fall.

The product, called Nuvaxovid, is a protein-based vaccine to target the JN.1 variant.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

Very good question. @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP we need action on vaccines now. If the only mitigation is vaccines we need better access. Plus better PH messaging.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

@DrEricDing @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP When is Australia going to get access to Novavax? It is a superior vaccine.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

BREAKING—the FDA has just authorized the new Novavax vaccine, tailored to JN1 related variants. Anyone age 12 and over are eligible. You may receive it 2 months after a prior version of COVID-19 shot (and prior infection, though FDA memo didn’t specify).

Well done. I agree. The ABC used to set a high standard for news & current affairs. With the exception of 4 Corners & @latingle not much is worth watching or reading on the ABC these days…very disappointing.

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

After taking a break, I've written some words

Words about the how the ABC & the Albanese govt are practicing the same sad routine, deliberately keeping themselves a small & camouflaged via OSS (Organisational Survivalist Syndrome)

Feedback always welcome https://t.co/o5bMjRBknl

He won’t be able to vote but he could become President. 🤦🏻‍♀️
The American voting system is crazy. Thankfully we have the AEC.

[marquelawyers @marquelawyers]

Call us old-fashioned, but we do think that 34 felony convictions should disqualify one from public office.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

Also cowering to the LNP.

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

All Justin Stevens should have said is "We stand by Laura Tingle."

Instead.... FMD. What a way to cower to news.corp.

[Jo Luck @JoLuck]

@DavidPocock I agree that we need a CDC. But you need to understand we are still in the COVID pandemic. WHO declared the emergency phase was over. People are dying & being disabled by long COVID every day. Mitigation measures needed to slow transmission.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

One of the biggest lessons out of the pandemic was that we need to be better prepared for the next one.

Now entering their 3rd year in office, it’s time for the govt to get on with establishing a permanent 🇦🇺 Centre for Disease Control in Canberra.

@AlboMP please replace @Mark_Butler_MP with a capable and competent Health Minister. The health of the Australian people are at risk.
