Mr Barilaro will on Monday announce he won’t be running for the seat, leaving Mr Molan or Liberal NSW cabinet minister Andrew Constance as the likely coalition candidate for the election . Mr Molan said it would have been a “big call” for the Nationals to take its vote from seven per cent “up to a winning per cent anyhow”.
He told Sky News host Paul Murray, whether Mr Constance runs or not is “irrelevant” to him and said it “won’t impact on me in anyway shape or form”. “This is going to be extraordinarily hard for the government, for the coalition, to win”. Labor will on Monday announce Kristy McBain, the Mayor of Bega, as its candidate for the seat.
Should stick to Lib or Nat. Not both. Much better chance and united front!
Shame that
Good
I wonder why?
Do you have to live in the electorate to run for the office?

'Breaches of infection control' found in NSW aged care | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Chief Medical Officer Dr Kerry Chant says infectious control experts have found practical breaches among healthcare workers. \n\nSpeaking in Sydney on Saturday, Dr Chant said two senior infection control practitioners visited aged care facilities on Friday and found safety procedures could be improved. \n\n“We know it requires meticulous consistent adherence to processes to ensure against transmission,” she said. \n\n“It’s not just about a mask, but gloves, a gown and taking it all off in a particular order to make sure you don’t contaminate your hands. \n\n“So there are a lot of requirements to do things consistently. \n\n'That's obviously the focus of yesterday's visit to the aged care facility, we had two very senior infection control practitioners to relook at strengthening procedures.' \n\nDr Chant issued a renewed warning to healthcare workers to stay at home and get tested for COVID-19 at the first sign of illness. \n\n“This is not a blame game, but this is a key lesson,” she said. \n\nImage: AP No excuse for those workers!!!!😡😡 A nursing home is not a hospital. What sort of staff-resident ratios do they have? Is there adequate PPE? Have the staff been trained to use it? Nursing home outbreaks are a global issue - what support has been put in place? NSWHealth Coronavirus update: That's all very interesting I'm sure, but what are her views on Captain Cook?

'Incredible outcome': Just five new coronavirus cases in NSW despite near-record testing - ABC NewsHealth authorities in NSW carried out more than 8,800 tests yesterday, and they're delighted that only five came back positive. It really is an incredible outcome given that Brad Hazzard allowed the Ruby Princess to dock in Sydney. Good to see BradHazzard and NSWHealth being so forthright about the NZWarriors flying in to NSW .. Maybe the warriors should have just come in by boat , he and NSW Health seem to be far more relaxed when you turn up that way ..

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian urges weekend virus testing as restrictions easeNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has urged people to come forward for COVID-19 testing over the weekend even if they have the 'mildest symptoms'.

Because information about how to get a COVID__19 tes in Sydney is full of big words but NOT A SINGLE DETAIL. Terrible comms job by GladysB Where is that info? Gotta keep the numbers up.
