Nice set of explainers from CSIRO.
Science explainer: Are COVID-19 vaccines effective against the Delta variant? – CSIROscope

Is Delta more deadly?
The WHO says this variant of concern has an increased risk of hospitalisation. This is unsurprising because increased transmissibility could go hand-in-hand with case severity until most of the world’s population is vaccinated.
A study from February to June in Canada, yet to be peer-reviewed, compared non-variants of concern with Delta. It found people infected with the Delta variant were:
105% more likely to be hospitalised
241% more likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit
121% more likely to die from the disease.
For the other three variants of concern, these values were 52%, 89% and 51% respectively.
This shows the Delta is the most problematic variant of concern to date.

Pretty succinctly explains why the goal posts are shifting!

I'd stay away from those protests, apparently some of the participants have been seen with logos from the Indonesian BMI which is the youth section of the PDI.

In Indonesia the BMI is associated with the young radicals BMI loosely translates to Young Bulls of Indonesia, the logo is below.

Maybe it's someone who has hijacked the logo, but you'd want to be sure because the BMI have a strong affinity to the Bali terrorist group.

The Age is reporting that vaccinations will be mandatory for all staff at schools and early childhood centres.

1st doses must be had or booked by 18 October & the 2nd dose must be administered by November 29 unless exempted.

Good to see the Govt isn't allowing a small group of numbskulls to veto action.

The only football supporter I saw arrested at the Shrine protest just had to be wearing a Carlton scarf. :
Prompting of course the old.... "not going well on or off the field!" comment.

Most likely an unhappy supporter who had thrown it in the bin,

Looks like Point lonsdale has received an exemption from lock down for "economic reasons".  Hey Lisa,  our town is 7 km away and we're struggling too,  can we be exempted too?

In a month's time,  when cricket season starts,  I predict that the first ball in Port Vs. Queenscliffe C grade...well the batsman wont be stepping forwards.

As Orwell said... "all animals are equal,  but some are more equal than others"

I just caught some footage of the rioters at the Shrine.  One brainiac exclaimed, "Let them shoot us on hollowed ground.  On hollowed ground!"

The Borough of Queenscliffe wasn't in lockdown.  It only applies to CoGG and Surf Coast.

More than 80% of the Borough's residents are fully vaccinated too so they fully deserve to escape lockdown.

What distraction are you gonna use today Andrews?  Crying out for some decent management and politicians are totally incapable of providing it.
