Here's how AstraZeneca uptake varies from a per capita share in each state and territory. NSW has the strongest AZ uptake in the country, the ACT is just behind, and Victoria is also using more than its population share. Remember there's no major supply issue with AZ.

Why Australian politics has gone bad By @1RossGittins (with a little bit of help from @JohnDaley_ of @GrattanInst) smh.com.au/business/the-econ… #auspol #policy #reform #Gridlock
Why politics has gone bad: bureaucrats down, party advisers up

Why politics has gone bad: bureaucrats down, party advisers up

Ministers are relying less on advice from public servants and relying more on the political advisers in their own offices.

Conventions are the flexible glue that holds government together. But once governments start ignoring them, the next best world is to legislate and enforce them. My oped @TheMandarinAU: grattan.edu.au/news/why-aust…

Conventions no longer guide political behaviour. They need to be replaced by black-letter law. Such laws will only work if they are enforced.

What's the link between car porks and lifting the retirement age? Weakening governance makes it harder to do important but unpopular reforms. My new report for @GrattanInst: grattan.edu.au/report/gridlo…

Gridlock: removing barriers to policy reform - Grattan Institute

Australia’s governance is going backwards. Without change, there is little prospect for many substantial policy reforms that would increase Australian prosperity.
