I mean, i'm glad we have done so.
Thing is, in the last week or two the PM has started trying to curry the favor of the crazy republican types, as we have an election coming up soon.
Add that to news articles today about something we already all knew... which is that Gladys Koala-killer Berejiklian herself (NSW Premier) ignored the public health advise, which was to apply the general lockdown rules to the entire Sydney region as opposed to a couple of poor suburbs.
It's fucking disgusting how transparently self serving the liberal party is in this country.

What in the hot fuck is this misleading headline. It's 85% of the eligible* population. It is incredibly confusing when headlines don't bother to specify whether it's total or eligible population, and this is worse since full could be interpreted as fully vaccinated of the full population.
It's a great target to hit, but come on, it's not that hard to include 'over 16' in the headline.
*In this case it's not even the eligible population. It's of the 16+ population, who were the only ones eligible to be vaccinated when Australia set its targets, but now all over 12s can be vaccinated.
