Especially when Parliament isn't currently sitting. It's a ploy to ensure communication is one way and that only the information they want to release is made public each day.

Health is still going to be releasing the numbers each day, but abolishing the press conference means awkward questions can't be asked. We're not going to know by the end of the weekend how the "no jab, no play" rules are going to be enforced, how spread to regional areas is going to be avoided over the next 5 weeks (a period which includes school holidays), or how well/badly Health is actually coping. If those questions get answered at all, it will be when NSW Gov deigns to answer them.

Ironically, this is the type of political behaviour most likely to lead to legitimate protests.

If you're in NSW and are claiming the COVID JobSaver assistance you or your employer now needs to log in and confirm that you still have a 30%+ downturn to continue receiving the assistance. This came in to effect today.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The thing is, it was through the daily press conferences that DAndrews maintained his popularity. At the very least it put out the image that he was 'on our side', and was trying to help.

Gladys's daily pressers have led to her becoming more unpopular. And with this, it just looks like she, (and the entire LNP) , are running away.

She is turbo hosed. Lets not forget that she still has to deal with the ICAC rulings about her and her developer boyfriend.

She'll be spilled by the time of the next state election. Libs will still win though, coz NSW is a garbage place.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

It's this. She's promised everyone that NSW can reopen soon and it will all be over. Having to acknowledge that things are getting worse before they get better is all too hard.

we didn't include a provision to force repayment of unnecessary jobkeeper because we thought that would mean less companies would apply.

Eh not really. Andrews doesn't do every single one, but they still hold the conference and send out Weimar, CHO, etc with another politician.

Is she cancelling the presser or just not attending herself?

I'm sort of sympathetic to ending the daily pressers - it was a precedent set by Dan for when numbers start to alarmingly skyrocket, but which no longer really serves a purpose once numbers either start to decline or when you've thrown your hands up and said "yeah we're just gonna vaccinate our way to a European-level new normal." But now, right before NSW starts to grant more freedoms and right before its hospital system truly gets hammered... now is the worst possible time to make that decision!

CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT FRED NILE DISENDORSES LYLE SHELTON


Fred Nile, the leader of the Christian Democrat Party and an NSW upper house MP has dis-endorsed Lyle Shelton as his successor.

Lyle Shelton, the former National Director of the Australian Christian Lobby had been anointed as successor to Nile by Nile himself and appointed to a campaign position within the party.

Eternity has been told that Shelton is “devastated” by the news. Shelton is not the only person whom Nile has promised that he would step down and allow them to take his place.

This is the latest turmoil to hit the Christian Democrat Party, still the subject of court cases brought by dissidents, and a receiver with the task of electing a new board.
