The hearing, which began on Wednesday, is presided over by three panellists; lawyer Helen Atkins, planner David McMahon, and engineering consultant Ray O’Callaghan. Clark also faced questions from the panellists about the airport bus, a transport option sorely missed since the Airport Flyer was suspended in April 2020. Covid-19 restrictions caused a drop in demand, and it was “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Clarke said.

Risky SCG decision puts health advice to the Test

The Premier reassures us that the health advice is that the SCG cricket Test can be held safely with 24,000 people attending at one time ( No open and shut case , January 2-3). This advice presumably comes from the same origin as the advice that the Ruby Princess was low risk , and could safely dock and disgorge its passengers without quarantine. That advice resulted in the infection of over 900 people and the death of at least 28. Many epidemiologists and infectious diseases specialists are now saying that allowing the Test to proceed with this crowd could be a super-spreader event. If the Premier chooses to allow the Test to proceed, any resultant surge in cases will be entirely her responsibility. -
