News Corp loves influencing politics, but when they can't get their way they back the winning horse, because when it wins they can try and claim some of the credit and continue to look influential.

It's a transparent attempt to look like they're inside with the majority while adding nothing meaningful to the conversation, just further obfuscating the facts and "technologies". But still Bolt has a whinge about his employer and Morrison. He's committed to the bit.

Looks like hospitalisation rates for 0-9 (and 10-19) year olds is sitting at about 5%. That's going to be messy with school having resumed in NSW. https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Documents/covid-19-surveillance-report-20211005.pdf (page 16)

The country NSW is most looking like being comparable to is Denmark. 500 odd daily cases, one death day average, 100ish total in hospital, 18 ventilated total, 75+% total population vaccinated. They went internal reopen a month ago and have backed off Intl entry requirements. I dont know if we can hope for that much better given Covid isnt going away but maaaaaaybe we can with the vacccination rate looking to go better?

A debate about nuclear power as a climate change response is not completely ridiculous. This very forum has a thread on that topic. (Spoiler alert: half the posts are screaming that nuclear power is the only option and the other half are screaming that renewables are the only option.) The one that makes me really suspicious about anyone's authenticity on climate change is hydrogen. It just looks so suspiciously like an opportunity to keep pumping methane (split into hydrogen) or digging up coal (gasified into hydrogen) while we swap to green hydrogen any day now, honest. It's the carbon capture and storage boondoggle for the 2020s. To be clear, I'm not suggesting for a second that News are genuine in their Road to Damascus. They are not. It's just that we'll know for sure that they're lying when they start pushing "green hydrogen" (with blue/brown hydrogen for just a little while longer).

The problem with nuclear is the ramp up time, where the wait for reactors and skills is going to be long, which doesn't exist for renewables. We can build the renewables right now and transition, we cannot do that with nuclear plants.

This seems to be what a lot of mining/petrochemical companies are doing, and it seems like some of it won't be much better then "carbon capture" stuff. Nuclear should be consider in some circumstances but in Australia it just doesn't seem to make much sense. There are definitely places around the world that aren't rolling in renewable options where it could possibly be the best option. Murdoch press just seems to love it as they have a hate of anything "leftish" and very little of the arguing for it seems to be done in good faith.

We are on track to reach 90%+ vaccination rates and as we've shown before, eradicating Delta is simply not possible under the circumstances. Melbourne will not tolerate another lockdown. We're in the two weeks right now when Burnett modelling indicated we could see as many as 2900 cases a day. So we're not even at our modelled peak yet. Previously Dandrews has said he may delay certain things opening if hospitals are not coping.

I don't think Melbourne will put up with any more restrictions without significant backlash. They've already had to move goalposts with the lockdown failing to bring down cases, and hitting the necessary vaccination rates only to be told 'actually cases got too high so we're pushing back the reopening to December' will further damage people's faith in these restrictions. It's also been disheartening to see only Tier 1 sites getting into the public record. Really does suggest that half of this city is an exposure site, and I don't know why they're not bothering to report it.

We can build the renewables right now and transition, we cannot do that with nuclear plants. I think your argument can be turned on its head. Why not invest in the future of power generation? We might build our first reactor in a generation's time but it will give our country more options for power.

Unless you think reporting huge lists of tier 2 sites would scare people into supporting more restrictions (reasonable in theory, but I doubt it), surely your first paragraph answers the second? There's too many sites to check for this info to be useful for individuals to make decisions about isolating themselves and there's no point reporting them if it's not going to inform decisions on changing restrictions.
