Agree absolutely, Capcom. A fear you’ll have a shortage of workers if you require vaccinations is the tail wagging the dog. Safety protocols protecting 3rd parties shouldn’t be relaxed just to increase productivity. We’ve seen in the trucking industry that pressuring drivers to stay on the road 24/7 might make them more productive but the costs to the community are substantial.
If drivers are a bottle neck in handling flights, either incentivise drivers to vaccinate or recruit by raising conditions, or reduce flights so the bottleneck disappears.

News Ltd has no face, they've spent many months making spurious suggestions AZ will kill you, now it's being suggested as the ultimate miracle cure which you you get without hesitation.
[member=61]Baggers[/member] It's exactly as your link suggests, and all about politics! Well, it seems The Age took notice of The Conversation and published a good article on the same premise... the blatant and crass favouratism afforded the LNP states from News Ltd.
If News Ltd was an individual they'd be in a psych ward under treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder.

Noticed the same thing. Does their hypocrisy know no bounds?

No they know no bounds, they are complicit in creating an unmanageable hysteria.
You could argue the News Ltd lefthand doesn't know what the righthand is doing, if you choose to be so gullible as to think it is just innocent commentary.

I wonder when we can expect Peta Credlin and her group of sycophantic reporters from News Ltd to attend a news conference held by the saviour of Australia, Queen Gladys, and her health minister, and grill them on the obvious failure of the NSW Health Dept to follow regulations or to have regulations in place to avoid covid spread.
It goes without saying that each question will be asked in as scornful a manner as possible and, irrespective of the answer, will be asked several times again by the gutter press reporters.
Flushed with success they could then put meaningful questions to the Prime Minister of NSW concerning the vaccine rollout shambles and the failure to build dedicated quarantine facilities, and why they will be built not in place of but it in conjunction with continued hotel quarantine facilities.

In all the excitement of building new quarantine facilities around the country, don’t lose track of the fact that the NT’s facility was constructed by private industry and handed back to the NT gov as early as possible because of its maintenance costs, I’m 98% sure the figure was $250,000 per month to maintain the place empty and have security in place, Covid couldn’t come quick enough because there was serious talk of running a bulldozer through the place because of its drain on our already overloaded coffers.
Be careful what you wish for…

No doubt, but it’s a bit like how much insurance do you want to pay for ?
We all know the first cash strapped gov will start “trimming” the maintenance costs of such facilities, and that’s the problem, they are empty facilities that need to be ready to go in a weeks notice, pandemic, bushfire, cyclone relocation points.
The cost is why we didn’t have them…
