Mark Butler on the vaccine rollout and democracy in the Labor Party
Michelle Grattan discusses the vaccine rollout, aged sector, and internal Labor politics with shadow minister Mark Butler
The expert medical advice changes, not infrequently, during this pandemic. And that applies even when that “advice” comes in the form of a one-liner, writes Michelle Grattan
If new incentives don’t work, mandatory policies may be the only way forward in ensuring high COVID vaccine coverage of staff.
National cabinet on Friday is expected to consider whether COVID vaccinations should be made mandatory for workers in aged care.
Richard Colbeck on aged care and the Olympics
Michelle Grattan discusses the aged sector, in particular its funding, and the Tokyo Olympics with Senator Richard Colbeck
An extra A$17.7 billion for aged care seems like a lot, but it still falls short of the royal commission’s recommendations.
In a new report, we outline four important steps the government must take to achieve real change in Australia’s aged-care system.

Two residents in a Brisbane aged-care home were given a higher dose of the Pfizer vaccine than recommended. Here’s what might have happened – and how we can reduce the risk it will happen again.
Aged-care residents will be among the first to receive the Pfizer vaccine when the rollout begins next week. For some, the process of consenting to the vaccine could raise ethical questions.
Whether an employer can insist on vaccination as a condition of employment is an ambiguous legal question, as shown by two recent unfair dismissal cases.
Publishing hospitalisation data is a good start. But ultimately we need information about each aged care facility’s performance to be publicly available.
