Shorten says he has ‘no problems’ with children receiving Pfizer jab
By Broede Carmody
Australia’s medical regulator is considering a proposal that would allow people aged between 12 and 15 to receive the Pfizer vaccine.
It comes as Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he wants children to return to in-class learning as soon as possible.
Labor frontbencher Bill Shorten was speaking on the Today show just a moment ago and said he would have no problem with his children getting the jab.
“Sure,” he said. “No problems. There’s been an outbreak related to a school not far from my electorate. What I don’t want to see is infection getting into some of the public housing towers and some of the more tightly, densely packed parts of our communities.”
Melbourne’s COVID-19 exposure sites swell to more than 300
By David Estcourt
The number of official COVID-19 exposure sites in Melbourne has once again jumped above 300.
Health authorities added 18 new tier 2 sites late on Monday, including a petrol station, fast food chains and a pharmacy.
The new additions include a trip on the number 19 tram through the city on Thursday, June 3 and various fast food and convenience store outlets across a wide range of suburbs (mostly in Melbourne’s north and west).
A positive case visited a fuel station on the West Gate Freeway in Port Melbourne late last week. Other areas of concern include a Subway and McDonald’s in Campbellfield, a Red Rooster in Pascoe Vale and a McDonald’s in Flemington.
Two 7-Elevens, one in Maribyrnong and another in Yarraville, have also been added to the list. You can view the full list of public exposure sites below.
NSW Treasurer tables secret $50m bid to keep Qantas in Sydney
By Carrie Fellner
The NSW government secretly offered $50 million in taxpayer funds to Qantas to head off a bidding war with rival states to keep the airline’s global headquarters in Sydney.
Under heavy financial pressure from the effects of the global pandemic, Qantas announced last September it was reconsidering the location of its headquarters in a move heavily criticised by federal Trade Minister Simon Birmingham as a “blatant appeal for corporate welfare”.
