"The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis." @healthgovau.bsky.social @markbutlermp.bsky.social
Screenshot of an official email response from the Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC). 

Good morning,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us.

The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis.

The CDC’s latest Australian Respiratory Surveillance Report published earlier this month presents a national overview of acute respiratory infections in Australia, drawing information from several different surveillance systems, including respiratory infections among older people. However, it does not have figures for cases in residential aged care facilities.

Any questions you may have about the decision not to publish data about COVID-19 cases in residential facilities should be directed to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

Kind regards,

CDC Enquiries Team
On behalf of the Australian Centre for Disease Control

Sensible thinking roughly half the world will ignore. If a thing is inconvenient even slightly, there's a huge amount of people who will be against it. If that weren't true, "unplanned pregnancy" levels would be a fraction of what they are. #CovidIsntOver www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

"when Albanese says Australia will make its own decisions, that comes with the big caveat that our decisions are unlikely to be ones that upset Trump, because #AUKUS has given him huge leverage over us" The PM stalls on Palestine, because he's sold our sovereignty. www.crikey.com.au/2025/08/01/a...

As Albanese shuffles towards recognising Palestine, Trump looms
Anthony Albanese's foot-dragging on recognising Palestine won't cost him votes, but AUKUS means he has to make sure that he doesn't do anything to upset Trump.

Vaccines are not a substitute for N95's. They're one imperfect layer of a comprehensive strategy. Our vaccines don't prevent infection, transmission, or Long COVID, and the protection they do provide wanes rapidly with time. They're an airbag at best - not a pass to 2019.

Very disappointing article from @crikey.com.au   regarding #covid - the lack of reflection in their comments that we're post-covid reeks of the denialism that they speak of in relation to the Spanish Flu and the gov's failure to mention it during the election campaign period. #CovidIsNotOver
Screengrab of my comment below the article - 

This article is ironic in that it fails to note that the COVID pandemic isn't over, it's not post-covid, it's *during* covid - the emergency period is over, yes, but people are still getting infected and dying and getting long COVID.

And somehow people are fine with this and just *hope* that they won't get infected, that they won't injure someone else. Yet hopium does nothing to prevent infection quite as well as putting on a decent mask, but that wouldn't be keeping with the social contract that says we must forget about covid. Much like this article.

Frankly, it's irresponsible of Crikey to be running this position, and contributing to the denial that it speaks about in relation to the Spanish Flu etc.
