A top doctor in Melbourne has made an impassioned plea for more personal protective equipment for coronavirus frontline medics, describing the supply as 'patchy'. 9News

"We don't want 25 to 30 per cent of our teams to go down. We want to be able to be providing care for our people not just for COVID but for the general health they have to maintain.Dr Haikerwal believes that as his respiratory clinic is funded on a federal level, it is overlooked by the state government, which is leading to supply shortages."They have to work with the doctors.

"Number one look after your staff. Number two make sure they have proper equipment. Make sure it's across the whole state, every aspect of this. And make sure that you actually have good registering system, a good database to make sure you can get all the results so when you need them you got them.

"People are getting contact traced 23, 24 days after they have been cleared which is day 14," he said."Yesterday was the worst single day for deaths in this state in this country. Not acceptable. "If we let our guard down now and don't look after health of people, Australians, Victorians, if we don't look after the health of the healthcare workers, then we are on a highway to nowhere."

Th ATAR score should not be 'assigned as much value as it is' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Labor candidate Sam Crosby says the ATAR system is harmful because it “encourages universities to make a false assumption' that a kid who gets 99 is smarter than a kid who gets 98.\n\nIn any given year, between 150,000 and 190,000 students sit the HSC.\n\nMany of these are assigned an ATAR – a universities admissions rank that sorts them into their minute bands of 0.05. \n\nThese marks then determine the courses that they can study.\n\nMr Crosby proposed capping the ATAR scores so universities are more inclined to consider the soft skills of students: sport, drama, music, debate, volunteering, and leadership. \n\n“I'm proposing that we start to think about capping the marks given out – so that the maximum mark is capped at 95.” Mr Crosby said. \n\n“With automation and artificial intelligence on the rise, the jobs of the future will depend on human qualities that are not easily reduced to a single number,” he said. \n\n“We should stop assigning so much value to it.”\n
