This is the case. I wish the website could have made it clear rather than my wasting time checking availability at each site separately. I eventually packed it in and called the hotline seeking an appointment anywhere in metropolitan Melbourne with capacity. Hilarious - the guy on the phone took 25 minutes doing exactly what I have been obliged to do which is check each vaccine site separately. Anyways there are no appointments, eligible or not. I wrote some emails to my local and federal MPs respectively to cheer myself up. Got a nice email back from my local Member blaming the feds for supply, being understanding of my frustrations and all and then (lol) directing my to the same website where no appointments are available.

I tried the NDIS and disability settings as suggested by one of the posters here to no avail so we wait until more pfizer arrives I suppose

To be fair, about 1 out of every 10 tweets BJ posts end up being accurate so just hold your horses on that

To be honest this seems pretty stupid if they're allowing entry for people who have had Johnson & Johnson, as its efficacy is very similar to AstraZeneca's. It's pretty obviously not as good as Pfizer or Moderna but it's not as if AstraZeneca is a bad vaccine.

Wow, Simon Birmingham defends pork-barrelling.
They don't even pretend to care anymore and why would they when the Murdoch press barely mention it.
This country is a joke.
Same goes for climate, Barrier Reef, Murray-Darling, Parliament sex-pests ect
What a joke of a right wing country we have become.

The arrogance of answering with “the Australian people made their decision at the election” is beyond disgusting.

These guys truely believe that they are not answerable to anyone or anything.

They know it is not being reported ,or it's buried on page 8, in the Murdoch press so they don't give a toss.

And as usual, Morrison doesn’t even bother to deliver the promises.

Just a politician

Said it before and I'll say it again..we're going nowhere in this country. We're going to need a **** ton of vaccine to open this dump.

France and other countries are vaccinating their citizens that are overseas, why can't we?

How are they doing that - buying vaccine off local gov?

First ten letters in the SMH this morning.

Not a single letter in support.

Ordinary people are waking up to the criminal ineptitude of this crap government and its professional bullschitter of a leader.

There is still hope.


So, after 18 months, we finally have a plan to have a four-stage plan (“Four-stage path out of lockdown cycle”, July 3-4). Though not with any targets or times, which are key elements of any plan. We just have “phases” that are unmeasurable and “horizons” that are unreachable. Whatever happens, ScoMo can claim victory, which, of course, is the whole aim of this succession of brainfarts. The ineptitude, callousness and lack of urgency is breathtaking. John Burman, Port Macquarie

I’ve looked in vain at the press releases about the four-stage plan and cannot find any key-performance indicators, timelines or threshold numbers. This appears to be another marketing exercise by the marketing manager. Paul Pearce, Bronte

Eighteen months on – a plan! It doesn’t have target dates. Consultants still need to propose the immunisation levels for each step. The first stage is to do what we are sort of doing now. Doesn’t look like much of a plan to me. Michael Berg, Randwick

Great to see the marketing guru Scott Morrison with his new COVID-19 plan. Dressed like the Prime Minister but always the salesman, selling the sizzle and not the sausage, albeit 18 months late. Doug Walker, North Curl Curl

The plan featuring milestone phases without dates is not a plan; it’s a marketing announcement. Bill Plastiras, Vaucluse

Our ad-man Morrison is trying to sell us a dodgy plan again. Don’t be fooled. Paul Lau, Dolls Point

How bloody good does stage three look, but where the bloody hell is the stage one vaccine? Luke Connery, Manly Vale

Well, we now have a plan, but we don’t know exactly what we have to do or when we have to do it by. One hardly likes to say it, but a bit of “detailed programmatic specificity” wouldn’t go astray. John Croker, Woonona

Morrison’s latest brainwave is more wishful thinking than plan. I doubt the four-stage plan brought much joy to the states. I suspect the premiers just feign agreement with the PM these days, and then go back to doing their own thing. Morrison’s credibility has suffered badly due to the quarantine failures and the mismanaged vaccine rollout. If it hasn’t improved come election time, he will find it hard to maintain the self-satisfied grin. If the other vaccines don’t arrive on time, he will need another miracle. Graham Lum, North Rocks

So the PM has finally come up with a plan (sorry, a road map). What took him so long? The steps here are so obvious that they could have been set out 18 months ago at the start of the pandemic.
Yet we still have no details, no targets, no commitments: in fact nothing at all beyond a vague wish list of desirable milestones. This vision of the Promised Land is no more than a mirage. If the PM were to peer over the barricades of his Fortress Australia, he would see that the rest of the world is actually getting on with post-pandemic life. Chris Danckwerts, South Turramurra

Looking at the locations of the authors I'm still not sure the Libs would be that worried. Bill from Vaucluse can vote for the right leaning independent, that'll learn em.

Are they ordinary people or (like the LNP does) party hacks writing letters based on themes from head office. They are far from wrong but possibly not an indicator of widespread anger

Impossible to say absolutely, but I have been following the SMH letters page for years (first thing I turn to; even before the sports section!) and all I can say is it feels genuine.

(Of course a true measure of exasperation with this do-nothing government would be if a Sydney newspaper starts running letters from people in marginal Qld mining electorates!)

Mate, that's only because you spent half the night reading online about the swans win.

I only read the sports section after Essendon wins, so not often.

Hoepfully the minor parties and independents can take advantage of the anger that should be growing.

Why the **** people continually vote ALP and LNP, then expect change is beyond me.

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Why the fu** people continually vote ALP and LNP, then expect change is beyond me.

Lack of choice I guess. And preferential voting. I've never voted either of the majors at No.1.
