An update on attempts for under-40s to get AZhttps://twitter.com/joshgnosis/status/1409783138700591105 …

The pursuit that ended with the death of Raymond Noel was over in 21 seconds. There was no pursuit controller allocated - the police officer in the passenger seat had just picked up the radio to have that conversation when they saw the crash.

The officer driving the car in this case is a gold class driver, very experienced, and trains others in the pursuit policy. He agreed with the counsel assisting that putting those two questions in the training guide, to trigger an assessment, would be helpful.

Olle says most pursuits that he sees — so those that end in a fatality — don't go on long enough for people to get to the point of a considered risk assessment with a pursuit controller on the radio. "They go from nothing to 150km/h to all over, often in under a minute."

The assistant commissioner says that's already covered under the risk assessment in the current policy. Olle says it may be — but he questions whether that policy practically translates to help officers making split second decisions.

Olle is suggesting there be two questions — kind of like a pilot checklist — to trigger a risk assessment. They are 'what am I conducting this pursuit for?' (i.e. is it actually worth the risk) and is 'are my actions adversely affecting the behaviour of the driver'.

Combative conversation between coroner John Olle and Victoria Police assistant commissioner for road policing Libby Murphy, in the inquest into the death in custody of Aboriginal man Raymond Noel. They're debating the pursuit policy — something Olle has heavily investigated.

Have had "she got the AZ!" in my head on a loop since last night.https://twitter.com/callapilla/status/1399629091083460608 …

I've booked in to chat with my doctor about it. Very excited at the possibility of getting vaccinated this year.https://twitter.com/joshgnosis/status/1409666225299333125 …

On under 60s getting the AZ shot, Andrews said if you want to go to a hub, call the hotline. But: "I think in the first instance, what is clear is that having a chat with your GP would be the best thing to do. Now that advice may change and it may change quite quickly."

"Anyone who has done a kitchen reno knows —" "Oh you can't use that comparison, premier!" "Yes you can." "No you can't, not with precious public funding." "The alternative is to do what every other government has done and say it's too hard.." "No, it's about costing it properly."

This exchange on metro tunnel cost blowout is an example...
