Marshall has been asked if he has considered giving NSW some of SA’s share of Pfizer doses and his answer was a polite “heck no”.
Well, my understanding is that the federal government has been able to find 50,000 doses and, of course, the ATAGI changed protocols or advice is going to allow more people of the AstraZeneca jab up there in New South Wales.
I do think we need to stick to the national framework in terms of vaccination. We don’t know where the Delta variant is going to hit next. We do have a national approach. We’re very keen to stick to it here in South Australia...
The SA premier Steven Marshall is beaming on ABC News Breakfast this morning after a seven-day lockdown appears to have effectively fought back a Delta outbreak in the state.
Look, I am very happy today, a week ago we were very concerned about what was happening here in South Australia with this Delta variant, but the people of South Australia went into a hard lockdown, they didn’t move around very much at all and we got on top of it with massive, massive testing results over the last week. Absolutely huge.
And we’re very grateful today to be out of lockdown. There is still some restrictions in place, and they’re going to be in place for some time, but the good news is students are back at school, we have got hospitality workers back, we got retail open again and we’re now gradually coming out of this very tough situation here in our state.
