The New South Wales health department says “an error” resulted in 163 year 12 students at one of Sydney’s most expensive private schools being given the Pfizer vaccine.

St Joseph’s College in Sydney’s lower north shore confirmed on Tuesday that more than 160 students received their first dose of the vaccine after the state’s health department approved the school’s request.

The school said it was given the go-ahead for the vaccines in May because its boarding school population included Indigenous students and students from remote and regional communities.

To 8pm last night we had 112 additional cases and I want to stress the vast majority of these cases are family members or very, very close contacts. Family or close friends, unfortunately, bear the brunt of those 112 numbers we have seen overnight...

In terms of the number of people that were exposed in the community whilst they were infectious, there are at least 34.

As a society we need to have a good long talk about calling repeated events 2.0. When you're saying "lockdown five point oh" with no irony it's time to let it go.

Lets add some fuel to the fire of the guy complaining about how certain places have slashed the numbers of people arriving in Aus.

Two people that have been allowed in, that have been deemed to be more worthy of being allowed into Australia than Australian citizens stranded overseas and actively trying to make it back to see their families are:

Katie Hopkins and Caitlyn Jenner.

And the Californian Governatorial candidate/vehicular murderer has been allowed both a visa and an entry permit to do such important work as appear on Big Brother.

Dunno why the Hopkins oval office is in Aus. Don't care, so long as she fucks off soon and takes her racism with her.

They're badly down in the Newspoll:

When Shorten lost what seemed like an unloseable election I thought that was it, for sure, we were stuck with another Howard era. And I thought that even more when their approval shot up after the pandemic started. But the way things have been going lately, and the fact they've probably lost a lot of support in Victoria after all the sniping and Sydney favouritism, they could actually be hosed by the next election.

Labor will win the next federal election. The newspoll breakdowns state by state show that the biggest swing towards Labor is in Queensland.

That's not a statistical anomaly.

Brisbane is literally the crown to win in the country because the amount of knife's edge Greater Brisbane seats held by the LNP is ridiculous.

Since 2019 Newspoll has gradually been showing evidence of a 5 point swing to Labor in Queensland and a 9 point swing to Labor in WA (whom we don't care about because there's not many seats there to win)

Even the slightest, slightest clue that Queensland swings kinda red next election, the Morrison government is gone.

Just start a campaign encouraging everyone in the area to get an AZ shot, and Pfizer can remain the preferred option for young people in other states.

I am a big fan of Dan Andrews proposal to build a ring of steel around Sydney to prevent the outbreak spreading further. I'm assuming he means a literal ring of steel, or perhaps a ring of tanks.

Watching the Tokyo Olympics opening, and hoping Australia has some good things in the next decade to show off.

Opening ceremonies usually celebrate a host country, and when they have previously hosted look at how they have grown since the last time.

We're 2/3 of the way from Sydney 2000 to Brisbane 2032, and I can't think up to now of anything you'd point to since then.

Escaping the surveillance net is a challenge. Don’t use a phone, or a registered opal card. Use cash for any purchases.

Then try and get home or to personal transport without being tracked on CCTV.

Maybe take a different coloured jacket/jumper/hat or something.

And yeah, wear a mask.
