@JackNorton8064 Don’t want to belabour this, but that explains some not all of the allocation until year end, and it doesn’t necessitate obvious wedging of Vic, WA + Qld on the opening issue now. Damage to federation is non-negligible.

@JDH9892 And you can minimalize the 350k figure as three days if you like, but that's a chunk of vics total allocation. Then add to that balance of Pfizer vs AZ (and which of those Australians preferred) I think the picture is fairly clear.
