Also known as until 5th February, WA is inaccessible to almost all other Australians.
A brief side note, but I must say I really do appreciate this community.
I don’t see such level headed, truthful analysis anywhere else online and I find it very refreshing.
Ok but why did they not move the ashes to 7two at 6pm its ridiculous i want to see the news at 6pm
Just to explain the actual video. The main criticism was that Mark McGowan doesn’t need to be there too when most people can perfectly understand what the woman is saying. Apparently the story has made international news.
However, it’s been confirmed that the woman was speaking a recognised language as opposed to an “Aboriginal-English” which was criticised. I think it’s good to have a person of authority like the Premier there to encourage vaccines, but whether he looks like a fool for just repeating what the woman says, who knows.
A tweet from former AFL player Will Schofield:
She was translating what he was saying.
On the back of Yemeni’s out of context, dog whistling tweet. Congratulations for contributing to it.
But the intended audience (which isn’t you, me or chopping boards) can’t “perfectly understannd” what McGowan was saying.
As for what a former footballer says, is he delivering health advice or talking about his game?
Quit while you’re ahead mate, you’re just digging yourself a deeper grave.
Leave it alone now.
Sounds like a lot of white men are insulted. What do indigenous people have to say about it?
Brand new COVID dashboard from NSW Health - now includes rapid antigen test numbers.
https://twitter.com/NSWHealth/status/1481385519510847492
NSW Health notes that:
There were 61,387 positive rapid antigen tests (RATs) reported yesterday (Wednesday), the first day of the new reporting system. These test results are from 1 January, with 50,729 of these positive tests from the last seven days. Please note there may be some cases included in these numbers where people have reported positive RATs on multiple days and/or where people have also had a positive PCR test during the same reporting period.
The Victorian numbers

“ONLY” 92k in NSW? I thought we would hit 100k today with all the historical RATs included.
I think we’ll see another couple of days of people reporting historic RATs and inflating the numbers but I imagine by early next week we will be getting a clearer and more accurate picture of daily RAT positives.
I was wondering about this. People often do multiple tests whilst in isolation and some are probably reporting again. I had my positive test 8 days ago, then did another Rapid test midway through isolation (still positive) and then a test today which was negative. I didn’t report the midway positive test but I’m sure some would.
The media are jumping on board an “explosion” of cases in NSW today as a headline, however we know that half of it (at least) are previous tests. I was actually expecting more and am still thinking that some of the Rapid numbers supposedly for yesterday were still previous days as it seems high. These stats are dependent on what people select in a form.
See after all this time, someone at NSW has had a strange thought bubble to change the terminology from “deaths” to the weaker “lives lost”, VIC have always had that for as long as I remember. As if there isn’t enough text in there.
Well, if you break it down.
Of the new cases, 30,877 were recorded through PCR testing and 61,387 were self-reported from rapid antigen tests.
But it was also reported that over 80,000 rapid antigen test results have been uploaded on the website. So I guess they’ve only reported some of those in the figures today.
Will the others show up tomorrow or are they fudging the figures and only showing the most recent ones?
Edit: Sydney Morning Herald had the PCR and RAT numbers back to front.
How can they accurately maintain the number of “active cases”, although for whatever reason, NSW have never included that in their daily update dashboard. Is each report linked to the specific Service NSW account which could distinguish between duplicate results?
that NSW graphic is a mess, why are there so many different age demographics? 16+ isn’t a thing anymore, that’s from the 2021 national plan, which is over.
Maybe they haven’t reported ones that are no longer active? And/or maybe there were quite a lot of reports of positive results on multiple days by the same people (as they did flag that in the statement, so there could have been a fair volume of these).
I just assume that 7 or 8 days after the date that a positive result is reported, the active cases would drop off.
