森林浴 shinrinyoku or forest bathing is not a mysterious ancient uniquely Japanese concept. It is a word that was coined in 1982 by a Japanese public servant with the aim of encouraging more domestic tourists to visit forests.
Japanese is an incredible language. I also like:
Shinrin-yoku = "forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”. A form of a physical & psych'l exercise
Tsundoku = the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.

One of the very few things that has been interesting about being alive during a global epidemic is observing that it can never be assumed that people of any given degree of educational achievement are intelligent

There are many people who cannot afford to see a GP without bulk billing. Perhaps when people request bulk billing it is because they are poor but have been unable to find a practice that is accepting new customers and bulk bills.

The degree of power which Alan Jones has held and to some degree still holds tells us a great deal about Sydney, NSW and Australia.

So a crap government ad to scare the public into saving themselves from a situation caused by government incompetence and deliberately confused messaging

If an unemployed person has the skills and qualifications to work building homes then they should be hired to do the work and paid a proper wage

If Berejiklian genuinely only wanted to reduce the amount of time consumed by press conferences she should have set a new schedule e.g. Monday - Wednesday - Friday. Simple. Instead she left us all in the lurch

Gough wouldn’t have imposed Workforce Australia on the unemployed and left them to the tender mercies of Job Services Providers under threat of homelessness and hunger. You are no Gough.

It should have been at least 12 months. Or 24 months. Why would anyone think that a 6 month model is definitive when we are 18+ months into an epidemic

💯. It would be like firefighters saying “Yes he did start a fire last week and the week before and the week before that etc etc but we had no reason to suspect that he would start a fire”

With this as a precedent presumably we will soon be locking up any Australian citizens who come home during wartime or fleeing any dangerous situation overseas

So if I think that I might have COVID I should go see my GP and talk to the receptionists and sit around in the waiting room with a bunch of other people possibly including the elderly and the immune compromised? Fantastic. Great move. Well done

Not surprising. Morrison will do nothing. As Ms Higgins said this was an opportunity for him to improve Australia. But he is not not a leader. He cares only for himself and his corporate masters

In what universe does Barilaro live? Is it one where selling a few windows qualifies you to represent NSW in a $500,000 trade & investment role in New York?

And in every company or organization it is not immediately apparent exactly who the people are who actually know how things work. It has to be investigated or coaxed out of people.
An extra 1 million Pfizer vaccine doses will soon land in Australia after we secured a deal with Poland.
These extra doses are on top of the 40 million Pfizer doses we have already secured for 2021. It will provide a big shot in the arm to our vaccine roll-out.
