Asked today about the far right thugs storming the shrine - a building dedicated to those who died at war - LNP Sen Amanda Stoker said it reflected lockdowns and heavy handed approaches. Retweet if like me that disgusts you.
Good to see journos giving @GladysB a good grilling at her last official daily press conference. She claims she will decide when she will be accountable yet she winds up the presser early because of uncomfortable ICAC questions she is dodging. Accountable indeed
11am - last daily presser. A few reasons it should continue -
1. We're not 70% vaxxed yet; message needs to be hammered
2 Elderly rely on it - many don't do digital
3 Ethnic cohort same (SBS run it daily in 10 languages)
4 Explain constantly changing health rules
5 Accountability
While the NSW Premier has stepped back from being accountable to the NSW community during the 11 am conferences, our state's nurses and midwives continue to work hard to keep our community safe through COVID-19 @nswnma
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the state’s daily 11:00am COVID-19 press conferences will stop from Monday. I think that’s regrettable for democracy #Covidnsw
Should NSW abandon daily press conferences at some point? Sure.
Do you abandon ship at moment of greatest crisis, when there are more cases than ever before ? No.
There’s a reason why abandoning a ship when you’re the captain used to be a crime
This week's column: I THINK this link will work but apologies if it doesn't...Berejiklian rides roughshod over the Doherty plan https://t.co/fVXXq4GWRd
It is right and proper for these press conferences to eventually come to their natural conclusion. But Ms Berejiklian’s decision, on a day when the state recorded more than 1500 cases landed as a stunning & grossly premature turn of events https://t.co/Kl5oTxUizj
Now more than ever we need to be hearing daily from the Govt.
By the Govts. own admission, NSW is weeks away from:
- cases peaking
- hospitalisations and ICU numbers peaking
- the roadmap out for Western Sydney
We need to be hearing from the Premier every day. #nswpol#auspol
@CaseyBriggs Casey why has NSW dropped info about “infectious in the community “ figures -is it because the contact tracers are so overwhelmed that the Gov doesn’t want that “red”zone to show on your graphs ??
