8 October

Australia lies with its vaccine data, only reporting over-16s. This is the real NSW data. 0+ is the whole State, not just those aged 16 and over. At our re-opening day next Monday, only just over half of the State will be vaccinated. About 3.5 million people still won’t be, through no fault of their own. The virus will mow them down like a truck doing 80 at a 40 school zone crossing. Nothing like declaring victory with a job only half-done.
