@wabalabadubdaa Hi there, I’m a reporter from the Herald Sun. Could you please give a call on 0438 000098?

Covid is again sweeping through Victorian nursing homes, with hundreds more residents and workers hit than in other states. It comes as hospitalisations soar 30 per cent in a week. See the list of outbreaks. > https://t.co/j3laxeMSjy

Allan government’s ‘official silence’ on Vic’s deadly Covid wave ‘must end’ https://t.co/ynEKjRWOpC

A long read on Victoria’s worsening Covid situation from me, in light of recent deaths, hospitalisations & nursing home outbreaks. Vic Department of Health’s response (included) is interesting. Is ‘living with Covid’ now killing too many Victorians? https://t.co/fjLMq9ZRH5

Big and important job for racing integrity commissioner Sean Carroll in getting this review into a dark side of the industry right. Spotlight on sex assaults, harassment, hazing in Vic’s racing industry - across all codes - has been a long time coming. https://t.co/qmpFFpvu5W

@Hwtippet Addy’s loss is ABC’s gain Harrison. Going to miss your special specials 😉 Nobody did panthers like you. Don’t need to wish you well because you’ll be amazing in your new role.

Now, that’s real commitment to getting the population vaxxed! #Fiji #COVID19 #VAX

Fiji demanding more than talk from ScoMo on climate change.

[Frank Bainimarama @JVBainimaramafj]

Australia's pledge is a start. I've now urged @ScottMorrisonMP to show us a concrete plan to halve emissions by 2030.

I've given him a copy of Fiji's Climate Change Act as a guide –– it is our uniquely Fijian way of following the science to keep faith with future generations.

Job going in a very cute bookshop in a very cute seaside town (and no I’m not biased at all).

@AidoneDavid @LillSaleh @shoba_rao @SBSNews Best of luck David - but you don’t need it - you’ll be terrific!

No crowds at Geelong Cup for second year running.

[Mandy Squires @mandy_squires]

Today I watched a maskless anti-vaxxer with ‘freedom fighter’ on her shirt and Aussie flag taped to her hat walk into a full Ocean Grove Direct Chemist Outlet and not check in - and be served without a single staff member/pharmacist questioning her on lack of either mask or QR.

This eagle tracking really is something

[Dr James Pay @JamesMPay]

Wyatt the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle reached a new personal best altitude of 1950 m the other day. Using the thermal updraft he gained up to 4.5 m/sec in height. #wedgetailedeagle 🦅

@cameron_adams How many people tuned in? Will be interested to see the ratings.

[Mandy Squires @mandy_squires]

Little Queenscliff, showing the country how it’s done. 👏 #Vaxxed
