Apparently still looking to sue the Government for releasing that they had a number of interactions and attempted interactions.
Information that she considered private, that she did not reveal in the very public lambasting of the Government lack of response.
Because ? 

Were just a target to throw darts at with no right of reply.
I'm sure that there is much more that will never be revealed. 

"I did it my way" 

I do expect bureaucrats should have been more responsive, but its a two way street and if you come off as a bit difficult.

I would be interested to know the truth on the she was offered the help of the embassy twice but refused it where she is saying they never offered anything.

36 million more supply of rapid tests secured over two months. Brings total to 58 million. Demand for tests at peak could reach 9 million a week.

 

What benefit will this tests bring? Aside from not being very accurate, but say they were very accurate.

What if it was me and I was pregnant? Slight biological problem there :-) but lets be diverse...  If I was not a journo is that ok?

Australian experience on people being able to buy their own RATS seems to have its fish hooks.

Price gouging seems to be a thing.

America has seen this as well with limited quality RATS that work well with omicron ?

I can hear her all the way from Afghanistan saying to her partner 'There, I told you my plan would work. Now I can have my baby for free".

KrazyKid: Rapid testing on a regular basis provide reliable results.
They at the very least be able to reduce time isolating and reduce the number of exposure events in a workplace.
Very useful for supermarket distribution centre who will be struggling with 20+% staff away at times

I'll take your word for it but from what Ive read the results dont seem to be that accurate. False Positives and false negatives. Then add the context, that Ive not been to those LOI's got a positive, ignore it. Been to a couple of LOI's got a negative, sweet.

IMHO that will occur, and many will forego tests, and "be careful" so it will spread easily. Daily cases will become irrelevant, daily tests will be irrelevant. Most of us will protect ourselves, and not watch the news. Be oblivious and ignorant. 

High School has Started Back, Complaints that Students can't hear clearly the teachers, through the mask. Especially over the background hum in some classes. I seen that one comming a mile away.

So My Work around, Wireless Headset paired to Boombox speaker placed middle of class😎

Do students have ears in their nose? Background hum should be lower. My mate is a pom (I have his permission to state that) he says Kiwis whine more, he's right. 

Or forget any restrictions but no whining

Depends on the class, It can get quite noisy, if students are working on Task in a Group while teaching another group.

And to clarify,Most bluetooth mics generally cant directly connect to a bluetooth speaker, I middleman device is needed eg,a phone

I thought poms were the whingers.

We have to do temperature checks at work, also if someone is not feeling well employer can do test.

You can’t forego a test if it’s your employer doing it.

I’ll reread article I posted, but believe it said some test kits can be 80% reliable, so even though some will get through it’s better then nothing.

Yes it may be everywhere, but at least employer can reduce some staff in work place with it, less sources of other workers catching it while working.

Edit: Different article.
