CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Why can't you just admit the other states have handled this better than us or do you think they're hiding the bodies? I'm a proud Victorian too but seriously.

I'm not claiming they are better or worse.

I'm very cynical of The National Standard 95% figure because it is a target number not what has been achieved. The National Standard is to achieve 95% Contact Tracing, whatever that means, think about this in relation to how and when states report.

The best I can find in official reports is 85% tracing for a very limited number of cases over a short period of time, and that was for Canberra. So given 85% contact tracing is the best ever reported in Australia so far how does the country average 95%? Well it doesn't, because 95% is the target for performance not what has been achieved. In fairness, these figures lag about a month behind, but even so it's not going to be close to 95%, that number is an air swing.

Because you have reported the target value as an average, I suspect the source you got that from has also understated the achieved percentage as well, for political purposes. Otherwise why misquote the target as the average?
