Qld ends lockdown after one new local case – as it happened

I wrote to the prime minister yesterday and I am looking forward to the response. The letter said what I said publicly in that we are offering.

As you know, the NSW government has been asked to administer 300,000 doses of the vaccine. We have done about a third of that. When we complete the 300,000, we are offering to do tens of thousands a week more to support their efforts and I am looking forward to getting the response …

We haven’t been given the green light. No …

The commonwealth has responsibility for the entire vaccine rollout, except for the 300,000 the New South Wales government has been asked to do.

We have 6 million citizens that need to get the rollout. We haven’t yet had the green light to do anything beyond the 300,000 that we have been asked to do. What I am saying to the commonwealth is the GP network is fantastic. Pharmacies – if they come online – will be fantastic. But you still will need our support to meet the October deadline.
