I agree with Dr D. I also call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.

This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

🔸COVID positivity rate: 3.6% (+0.6%)

🔸Number of laboratories reporting COVID: 2 out of 4

Government). A highlighted statement reads: “Influenza, COVID-19 and RSV are all at a low level of activity.” The summary below repeats that influenza, COVID-19 and RSV remained at a low level of activity, with the NSW Health coronavirus website link shown at the top. Section titled “Notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV.” Text explains that notification data comes from laboratory testing and reflects community infection. An interpretation notes week-on-week increases: COVID-19 up 23.0%, influenza up 5.5%, and RSV up 0.2%. A table for NSW, week ending 7 February 2026, shows totals: COVID-19 621 cases (2,914 year-to-date), influenza 595 cases (4,668 year-to-date), and RSV 457 cases (2,215 year-to-date). Bar chart titled “Figure 5. Weekly notifications of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, by date of test and type of test performed, NSW, 1 August 2024 to 7 February 2026,” showing the COVID-19 panel. The x-axis shows test dates from August 2024 to February 2026 and the y-axis shows weekly notifications (0 to ~8,000). COVID-19 notifications fluctuate through late 2024, rise sharply to a peak around mid-2025 (about 4,000 per week), then steadily decline through late 2025, remaining lower and relatively stable into early 2026. Section with an interpretation and two figures from the NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report. Text states that in the last week COVID-19 test positivity increased to 3.6%, influenza test positivity decreased to 3%, and RSV test positivity decreased to 1.8%. A chart (Figure 12) shows the number of COVID-19 positive tests and percent positivity at NSW sentinel laboratories by week from August 2024 to February 2026, with positivity peaking in early 2025, falling through late 2025, and rising again to 3.6% in early February 2026. Below, Table 2 summarises four weeks of data to 8 February 2026, showing SARS-CoV-2 positivity increasing to 3.6% in the week ending 8 February, and the number of laboratories reporting COVID falling to two.

I surprised myself with how intensely angry I felt seeing snipers on the Opera House at that pro-genocide fundraiser last month.

Violent men causing shit everywhere from police to international guests and the libs are going for a woman who continues to speak up courageously for women and children and CSA’s. Upset about words- not bombs- not violent cops- words from a woman brave enough to challenge the patriarchy 💪

A sky at sunrise washed in gold and orange with about a third of the sun visible above the ocean horizon. Some light branches of a eucalyptus tree in the right foreground and there are clouds above.
