Murdoch's protection racket on lockdowns: While Victorians are 'kicked in the guts', Sydneysiders are reminded that lights will go out with a curfew. Victoria is 'under siege', while Gladys helps kids with their HSC. Victoria is a 'farce' but in NSW it's the courts under attack.

NSW case numbers are 1286% higher than Victoria. If you’re wondering why Berejiklian is getting away with murder, first question to Daniel Andrews today was “how are you going to get numbers down”. First question to Gladys Berejiklian was “do you have to wear a mask to a picnic”.

Victoria sacrificed everything last year to protect the rest of Australia from covid. NSW gave up at the first hurdle and made the decision to infect every other state. It’s hard not to feel bitter about it #auspol #qanda

11am - last daily presser. A few reasons it should continue - 1. We're not 70% vaxxed yet; message needs to be hammered 2 Elderly rely on it - many don't do digital 3 Ethnic cohort same (SBS run it daily in 10 languages) 4 Explain constantly changing health rules 5 Accountability

Interesting how media coverage of "debt and deficit" has been muted for 8 years #auspol Alan Austin michaelwest.com.au/eight-years-in…
