Australia news LIVE: Victoria records 334 new local COVID-19 cases, one death; NSW infections continues to grow as state ramps up vaccination measures

I listen to the health advice every day and what we need to do is always weigh up that health advice with public policy.

We are definitely in a transition phase. It is going to be challenging. But a road that all states will have to take, whether you like it or not.The mayor of Hume City Council, Joseph Haweil, has warned that many residents in Melbourne’s northern suburbs where COVID-19 has taken hold have been unable to get an appointment to receive their first vaccine.

“We’re calling on the Victorian government to allow us to play a part in vaccinating residents. We want to make it easier for our community to access the vaccine and we’re in a position to do that,” Cr Haweil said.The Council has experienced nursing staff and bilingual workers, Cr Haweil said, as well as community centres that could be rolled into the program to boost vaccinations.

Of course you would like to see us to push it to 85 per cent [fully vaccinated], but there is risk in everything we do, and were confident at 70 per cent.

I’m so confused. How will only 13 ppl die in six months - with 80% of adults vaccinated and no lockdowns - when 9 ppl died TODAY. ABC today; Looks like the escalating vaccination rate is stabilising the new cases numbers. The hospitalisation rate should stabilise in weeks to come. When restrictions ends Darwin's theory of eliminating the weakest will fire up on all pistons. So please get vaccinated asap. ketaminh Fffuuuuccckkkk.
