Checking back in here briefly to share a work thing (boring, sorry). Today we re-launched the ABC's daily news pod. It's taken a lot of hard work from a great team to shape a show that will, I hope, become a valuable part of a lot of morning routines. abc.net.au/radio/programs/ab…

This case has been commended for their behaviour. As soon as she found out she was a close contact she drove back from Gippsland to Melbourne, stopped briefly to get fuel and even sanitised her credit card before paying for it @abcmelbourne #springst

1/2 of people out while infectious had just one exposure site. 2/2 the other, linked to Aami Park, was infectious one day and was at Prahran Market. It’s a tier 1 site. 900 people checked in at the market and Market Lane Coffee. PEOPLE THERE ON SATURDAY Am MUST ISOLATE 14 days

What I'm saying, ICYMI, is not that Annastacia Palaszczuk needs protecting from this bloke; it's that he is not good at his job! If your job is essentially sporting diplomacy then this is an epic fail by any standard. It is, dare I say it, a question of merit.

This is a diamond-perfect instance of a man who believes his own job and priorities and worldview are universal and another person's failure to adopt them unquestioningly is evidence of stupidity or incomprehension on her part. Amazing to see it performed so publicly.

Difficult to understand how apologising and solving problems are mutually exclusive.

The @VictorianCHO says “22 is a large number and may look concerning, but the 16 of 22 fully isolating for their entire infectious period is a really good sign… It may even be within a couple of days we don’t see anyone infectious in the community.” @abcmelbourne #springst
