The chief executive of Australia’s largest airport has backed calls for the government to fast-track mass vaccination centres, arguing it would help restore the tourism industry at a time when many people have lost confidence in interstate travel | ...

by ensuring state borders can stay open and allow the international border to open properly.

At the Commonwealth level there had been 387,605 vaccinations which included 111,870 vaccinations across the aged care facilities where the rollout has been slower than planned. About 925 facilities have had their first doses and 345 facilities their second. The government had planned to vaccinate aged care workers at nursing homes but some staff have been told to attend GP clinics.

The pace of the roll-out fractured relations between the federal and state governments last week with NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard saying on Wednesday that reports “emanating from the federal government” that suggested his state had administered only 50 per cent of the vaccines in its possession were misleading, offensive and undermined the healthcare.

ClubsNSW said it was willing to offer its venues as vaccine hubs. “Many of our venues are big enough to accommodate large groups of people and if the government would like to utilise our clubs as inoculation hubs, the industry stands ready to assist,” it said in a statement.

Why are people asking scomo for anything? Scomo isn't capable of the slow track. He's incapable of doing anything but press conferences

Descent Australians will wait their turn

As winter approaches, people tend to stay indoors,the risk of just 1 case spreading like wild fire is real. Look at France , Italy,back to lockdowns. Vaccine should had covered at least 60% of pop by May, isn't happening.Aus is same situation as France back in their last Autumn

What if, instead, we shifted the nation’s capital resources away from stupid tourism to, say, investing in medical research and pharmaceuticals? Or to other value-added, high productivity activities? That way our kids will have something better than selling beads to Chinese.

Obviously hoping to cash in by charging big fees for the car parking.

The Morrison Government just another failure

Caution required. Anyone who thinks a 'passport' means a person is Covid clean is fooling themselves. Vaccinated people can still catch and transmit Covid. There is no such thing as a clean group. Look at the Argentine President. Got vaccinated. Two doses. Now has Covid...

Does he not know about the new waves of covid all over the world? Vaccines have done sweet FA in those countries. The longer we keep our international border closed, the further ahead we will be.
