National cabinet goes backward to go forward
Friday’s national cabinet was a stark illustration of the problems in our vaccination rollout. There are no magic numbers, and no plan to ‘get to the next level’. Only spectacular lack of transparency on vaccine supply.

Heart sinks when read Mr Morrison's 'fixer' Mr Gaetjens in charge of the task force to, well, 'fix', the new phased vaccine rollout. As an aside Mr Gaetjens hasn't yet got to bottom of who knew what/when/how Mr Morrison's staff Brittany Higgins matter! smh.com.au/politics/feder…
