Ironically, I worry about Bob.
He’s in quite a flutter over several events at the moment.

Hope he’s ok.

Refugees who are granted permanent residency are funded for a 512 hour TAFE course, Certificate IV in Spoken and Written English, as part of their settlement package. This has not changed for decades.
I used to train refugee students in that course, although not at TAFE, so I can tell you it is a comprehensive and practical course aimed at giving people skills to function effectively at work. Happy to say most of my former students are working successfully. Just found out one of my blokes has just been accepted into the police, while 2 of my girls have started nursing.

Back on Covid and I see the first case in the ACT has resulted in 3000 close contacts - 3000! He got around.

Just used my $100 Qld Holiday Voucher to book a whale watching trip out of Redcliffe. Doing my bit to keep tourism going.

I know Covid restrictions are confusing so the link below might be a helpful explanation- and give a much-needed laugh in these difficult times.

390 new cases and 2 deaths in NSW to 8pm last night.
The source of 250 cases is under investigation. 22 cases in Western NSW. 41 people charged with breaching public health orders.
The Homebush vaccination centre for year 12 students is now an exposure site.
Seems a long time ago when there was 1 case at Bondi. Those were the days.

Today it has no vaccination appointments available, the closest is Moree, over 200km away, where there is one appointment available in 21 days time.

I just don't understand this John. WA Health went through the Kimberley communities many months ago, got the leaders/elders on board, and did blitz vaccination visits. Why hasn't the same happened there!

I think the 25 new cases in Dubbo is my biggest concern....

Ms Berejiklian said the high number of daily cases, particularly the cases who were infectious while in the community, didn't look like it would decline.

She says this and yet she persists with the wishy washy lockdown rules that obviously are NOT working.
Isn't doing the same thing and expecting a differant outcome the very definition of Stupidity??

NSW rural health is chronically under funded. Also NSW doesn’t have many purely Indigenous communities so a plan to target them is logistically more difficult, not that that is an excuse. NSW has had people dying in rural hospitals due to a lack of staff so outreach programs are non existent
