Victoria is the first state in Australia to officially confirm it is using the app to trace contacts, amid conflicting reports that NSW had been unable to do so due to technical difficulties.

This morning, NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the state had been able to access data from Android phones in the past.

Mr Hunt said the only two Australia states reporting new COVID-19 cases at the moment were NSW and Victoria. Mr Hunt said seven of the new cases were in Victoria, with one patient in hotel quarantine after returning from overseas. The other four cases are four returned travellers in NSW.

Dan’s regime most adept at tracing private, law abiding, citizens . . . why are folks not surprised?

They are not tracing me because I didn't download the stupid app. I don't think I am positive anymore anyway.

If it is downloaded and it DOESN’T work properly to track down people who are infectious with the virus are doing their everyday business and unknowingly infecting people around them. Then it is just as bad as having no app downloaded as it is now a hit or miss affair.

Why? Only 100 deaths with a median age of 79!

Way to give up your freedom for a false sense of security

Latest drought data not used in new water plansThe NSW government will not take into account the latest drought in calculating how much water should be available to irrigators under draft plans condemned by regional councils and a Nationals MP And we all know how well government research and planning works, huh BOM. Why did you adjust historical temperatures if it wasn’t to cook the books for the climate change scam? If country people don't stand up and fight the city's will take all the water for themselves. O they do need more water to go SA just evaporate. Hilarious that the only response to an obviously stupid political move is people whining about stuff that has nothing to do with it.
