Our low numbers of COVID-19 are due only to our island nationâs ability to isolate, which comes with the economic and social cost of locked borders (âAustralia needs to set out its COVID-19 endgameâ, April 17-18). This must end at some stage but only when our healthcare system can handle the influx of COVID-19 cases, including unknown new variants, with the best vaccination program available at that time. As we can already see, this will vary with updated scientific data and improved vaccines, and should be managed by medical regulatory bodies based on that information, not by politics and emotive overreaction. There is no zero-risk option with this disease or with its management, but letâs go with the best scientific evidence to protect our society.
A woman breaching bail conditions has assaulted a police officer on the Far North Coast.
Officers were called to Byron Street in Bangalow just after 8:30 last night, where they located the 45-year-old woman after she allegedly stole property in Talofa.
While attempting to arrest the woman, she became aggressive and kicked a female officer.
The 45-year-old fronted Lismore Local Court today.
