As this pandemic has rolled through the world and, indeed, our nation over the last 18 months, state and federal governments have had to adjust their responses accordingly. We've used science, we've used data, we've used evidence. We've used the advice of our medical officials, which is exactly what we should be doing. We should be taking the politics out of our COVID response, and that's why I look forward to those opposite supporting Australians to get vaccinated as fast as possible. That's how we can get out of being locked down, actually stopping these lockdowns by ensuring that Australians aren't just getting Pfizer, aren't just getting Moderna, but are lining up to get AstraZeneca. I look forward to Labor Party senators tweeting, putting in their newsletters and making sure at their local branch meeting that they're encouraging Australians of all ages to adopt the medical advice: get vaccinated and access AstraZeneca.
