Doorstop interview about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and recent COVID cases
Read the transcript of the doorstop interview with Minister Hunt in Mount Martha on 29 June with an update on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and recent COVID cases.
Thank you very much for joining us today, and I'm pleased to be able to give our COVID update, as well as a follow-up to the National Cabinet for yesterday evening and afterwards, I'll take calls on the telephone.
There are three items I'd like to deal with. One is in relation to cases, two is in relation to the rollout, and three is the National Cabinet.
And I want to start by thanking Australians for coming forward to be tested and all of those Australians who are coming forward to be vaccinated. Both numbers today extraordinarily are 126,000 Australians came forward to be tested yesterday, and 126,000 Australians came forward to be vaccinated yesterday, and that's a very, very strong response.
Difficult challenging times but Australians stepping forward to do what they've done, to protect themselves, and to protect each other.
In terms of the cases, we've now had 25 cases nationwide in the period to midnight last night, 19 in New South Wales, and two each in Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.
We are obviously on high alert and high watch. What we are seeing, particularly in New South Wales, is those case numbers stabilising, particularly those cases in the community with obviously cases being diagnosed within isolation, either of close contacts or people who were already isolating directly.
So that's I think a very, very important development and I want to thank and congratulate New South Wales for the strong action that they have taken.
More broadly, we know that, as I mentioned, 126,000 people have come forward for testing. One of the highest numbers we've had since COVID-19 began in Australia, and we are able to do that because we have strong supplies of testing materials.
With regards to around the world, at the same time, we have seen over 6,400 lives lost in the last 24 hours and 2,125,000 lives lost officially over the course of this year alone. We are approaching four million lives lost officially since COVID-19 began.
And thankfully, we remain of the position in Australia, that no person has caught COVID in Australia this year and passed away. Obviously, the most significant lead to that is the number of people in ICU. I'm pleased that that number has reduced. We have reduced from two people in ICU in Australia to one. We always focus on the health and the needs of anybody in ICU in Australia.
Within that context, I'm also going to set out where we are with regards to the vaccine rollout. Over the course of the last 24 hours, as I've said, 126,000 plus vaccinations in Australia, and importantly, we've now passed 7.5 million vaccinations nationwide.
That includes over 5.95 million first dose vaccinations, or 28.9 per cent of the population, and over 1.47 million second dose vaccinations or 7.1 per cent of the population. That will go, climb to well over 7.2 per cent during the course of today.
Significantly, what we have now seen is that we have over 4.4 million Australians over the age of 50 or 51.3 per cent of the over 50s population that have been vaccinated, 60 per cent of over 60s, and 68.5 per cent of over 70s, our most vulnerable group.
And I want to thank all of those older Australians for coming forward to be vaccinated, but to continue to urge you, please do not wait. Vaccination can save your life, or it can save the life of somebody you know. And so this is a critical step forward. And so, these are important developments, but we continue to urge Australians to be vaccinated.
Now, just in terms of the National Cabinet, firstly with regards to the aged care workforce and the mandating of vaccinations, the steps that we've taken include, firstly, the aged care sector has had a full briefing with Minister Colbeck, Minister for Aged Care Services, today, as well as Departmental officials, in preparation for the next 2.5 months.
Obviously, the mid-September deadline is the outside, and we want to encourage and support all aged care workers to have that vaccination beforehand. Secondly, there will be a briefing for unions, so which is currently being established and set. We've worked very constructively with them and I have found them, if I may say so personally, to have been a very positive and constructive partner in protecting our aged care residents and protecting our workers.
And then, thirdly, we are also providing notice and information to all aged care homes. All of them currently have to provide mandatory data on the workers that have been vaccinated. And so, AHPPC has now provided its advice.
It is true. It had previously not recommended this and so we had asked the question and asked a number of times, but now I think given the nature of the Delta strain, they have formed that opinion and we have accepted that advice and we are moving immediately to implement that advice.
With regards to vaccine access, I just note that having spoken with the Prime Minister today and he and I have been in contact, in his case with the head of the AMA, in my case with the head of the RACGP, Dr Karen Price.
And the Prime Minister has confirmed that we will be extending our Medicare item for over 50s to have vaccine consultation to the under 50s. And I think this will be important and that will be developed over the coming days and will be in place before the end of the week.
Significantly as well, we'll update the Eligibility Checker and provide additional advice to all GPs during the course of the next 24 hours. And all the other elements with regards to quarantine, the states are moving to put in place those changes; in particular, the change to ensure that what had been reported as wide uptake amongst quarantine staff is now mandatory uptake, and I thank the states and territories on behalf of all Australians for that.
This obviously follows one particular case and also, a very important change that was recommended by AHPPC after there was one particular case in one state, which has obviously led to the mine worker infection, and that is that there must be a clear separation between any domestic quarantining and the international quarantining.
This, I think, was something of an outlier in terms of the particular case in Queensland. We have thankfully had the full support of National Cabinet for immediate action. And I thank all of those who've helped assist, in particular in the aged care sector, the general practice sector, the RACGP and the AMA.
And I'd be happy to take any questions going forward. I'll start with Tom Minear please. Tom.
Thanks for taking our questions, Minister. Just in relation to the PM's announcements last night, can you please clarify, so if adults of any age now allowed to go and get the AstraZeneca vaccine, what does this mean for the rollout, given we actually haven't shifted to the phase for the under-40s?
Sure. So the advice is very clear on two fronts. One is the medical advice; two is the access. And again, AstraZeneca remains the preferred vaccine for people 60 years and over. That has not changed, the advice of ATAGI, and Pfizer is the preferred for people under 60. And the clinical advice of ATAGI, again, has not changed.
However, as has always been the case and I think it's very important to emphasise this, that on the basis of informed consent, individual patients and their doctors have been able to make a decision to take up the AstraZeneca on the basis of their individual circumstances and their own judgement.
That consultation is something which has had continuous capacity to have been implemented. The difference is that the access for those who are of all ages, for the AstraZeneca vaccine, will be available through general practices.
It would be a matter for states and territories if they wish to implement that, but the access has changed. And hence the update to the eligibility checker and hence the update to the GPs which is going out during the course of today, and also the change to the Medicare item, which will now allow over the coming days for everybody under 50 also to seek a vaccine consultation if they so desire.
Josh.
Yes. Thank you, Minister. Just following on from Tom's question. Could you please go through exactly the indemnity changes that have being announced, a number of times before when we've asked about Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, for instance. The Government already offers indemnity for vaccines, so is this a new extra indemnity, is this a reaffirmation of what was previous advice?
And just on a related one, on the opening of AstraZeneca to people under 40, some state Premiers are saying what (IINAUDIBLE) through National Cabinet, they are looking for more info. I know that GPs are also saying they might not be ready for it this morning. How did you arrive at this decision? Was the shift (INAUDIBLE)?
Well, firstly, as the Prime Minister said last night, National Cabinet noted that the Commonwealth will establish a COVID-19 professional indemnity scheme. And so the professional indemnity scheme was what was noted last night.
There's no change to the medical advice. There's simply the opening of that access to those that are under it. And so that was printed last night and that was also said by the Prime Minister. The approach on indemnity had always been a matter for the Commonwealth, and so the National Security Committee adopted that yesterday, and the National Cabinet noted it last night as the Prime Minister said, and as was incorporated into the National Cabinet release.
So, I apologise, there was a second element you raised?
Yes. Sorry, I know it's a long question. I apologise. Just on the opening up of AstraZeneca to those under 40, some state Premiers were saying that it wasn't a decision of National Cabinet, GPs saying they weren't already for it.
So that's what I have addressed in terms of the National Cabinet noted the Commonwealth established a COVID-19 professional indemnity scheme. There is no change in the medical advice.
The access is something which is now available through the GPs. And that's what was raised and noted through the medical indemnity process last night.
Okay, Clare.
JOUNRALIST:
Thanks, Minister. Just picking up on a story today about a young woman who's had issues trying to transfer her quarantine from Sydney to Melbourne on compassionate grounds to be able to see her dying father.
Do you think that these cases only get resolved when there's a lot of media focus on individual circumstances? The Prime Minister has said in a letter to this woman that he hopes that there will be a solution for everyone.
Will you ask the AHPPC if they would consider solutions to more consistently dealing with these compassionate cases, particularly as more people who are returning from overseas, like this woman, are fully vaccinated?
What more can be done so that it doesn't take being on the front page every time for someone to have their case resolved?
So, two things. Look, we are and we will ensure that the AHPPC considers the exemptions process. These compassionate cases are immensely important. They, in many ways, define our humanity. What we see is the people who perhaps the end of life may be denied access to a returning family member.
And the commencement and the end of life are the most fundamental of life events. And if compassion can be shown, I would urge you in this case the Victorian Government, to provide that.
We'd worked very closely with them. We've assisted then and they assisted us, and I am very hopeful it can be resolved. The exemptions process, we are referring to AHPPC. But ultimately, individual judgements have to be made and we have always lent towards that compassionate position wherever we can on arrivals back into Australia, but then the transfer between states is obviously a matter for those individual states or territories.
But as I say, these cases, in part, define our humanity. And in the most difficult of times, where we can offer points of light, I think that that's a critical thing to do. Natasha.
Thanks, Minister. Just in relation to the opening up of the AstraZeneca vaccine to those of all ages. May I ask if the Government didn't consult ATAGI for ad advice on this?
And in relation to the indemnity, what's the extent of the indemnity? Will it be a blanket indemnity, and when will it kick into place?
Sure. So firstly in relation to the medical advice, the medical advice hasn't changed. Let me re-affirm the medical advice. The medical advice remains that AstraZeneca is the preferred vaccine for the over 60s, and Pfizer is the preferred vaccine and recommended vaccine for the under 60s.
And so that position has not changed, and we have stood by that medical advice. The different here is that there has always been the capacity for informed consent. That has existed throughout the process, and that remains the case.
The difference here is that the access, given the fact that there is a large supply, that some GPs have reported that they have excess supply and excess spaces. And so if there are people who wish to access it, via informed consent, via the existing ATAGI rules, then that's simply being enabled, because we know there's been demand. We know there's supply. We know that there are existing rules. So no change on that particular front.
And then I think there was one other, Natasha?
Yeah, just in relation to the indemnity.
Oh yeah.
I'm just wondering when will it kick into place? And will it be a blanket indemnity? What's the extent of the indemnity?
Sure. So the indemnity process is for all vaccines, for all healthcare providers, for all recipients, from the commencement of the program. So that's now going to be finalised and the advice that I have is that we'll be able to do it through existing arrangements, but through extension of our current situation.
So all vaccines, all providers under the Commonwealth program. Obviously, the states have their own arrangements. And all recipients would be covered by that. Trudy.
Thanks Minister. The Queensland Premier today demanded a reduction to international arrival caps. Are you comfortable with the current weekly arrival number? Premier Palaszczuk says hotel quarantine is not the answer. What's your answer to her?
Look, I have a headline here, Premier Palaszczuk absolutely furious unvaccinated hospital worker tests positive for COVID-19 in Queensland. And so we thank them for being concerned about obviously the situation their own hospitals, and we're appreciative of the fact that they are taking steps to obviously pick up that case. I think an unvaccinated hospital worker within the Queensland system.
More broadly in terms bringing people home. One of the things is how is it that Australia has, thankfully, to this point in time had no lives lost to COVID caught in Australia this year. It's because we have multiple rings of containment starting with the quarantine system.
And so this is a disease, which on a breath, a touch, a surface, can be transmitted in one way, shape or form. And so it's a global pandemic. And so whilst we are not immune, we have arguably the strongest or one of the strongest systems in the world.
So against that background, bringing people home, I'm advised by the ABF, over 80 per cent of people that have come into Australia during the course of this pandemic, and in particular at the moment, are Australians or permanent residents, or their family. Just to correct that record, there was I think an incorrect statement made, and the ABF have provided authoritative advice on that.
But bringing people home or bringing in critical workers, doctors or nurses, people involved in engineering, people who are critical to the operation of different roles, functions, services, and facilities in Australia, they are absolutely critical to keeping Australians going.
Now we've been fortunate to lift our employment and to decrease our unemployment to 5.1 per cent, but there are certain roles and functions where we need people from overseas. And so that is why we do what we do.
We've had as an example, a hundred per cent protection because of the clinical governance of the Howard Springs facility. And then last night, there were three further steps taken by the National Cabinet, in particular, with regards to quarantine.
Firstly, there was the separation of the domestic and international that arises out of the breach in Queensland which has led to the mine worker case, and so moving on that is part of continuous improvement.
Secondly, to ensure that we are testing travellers after they have left hotel quarantine. And again, this is about continuous evolution with regards to the Delta strain, and with regards to international evidence about the potential longevity of some cases.
And then thirdly, there is the action being taken by states to ensure that all of their quarantine related workers are vaccinated. So continuous improvement, it's difficult and it's challenging. We happen to be doing it better than almost anybody else in the world, but every day we learn and evolve in a world with 2.125 million cases this year of lives lost, and none in Australia.
There's many things we're getting right. Perhaps almost more than anybody in the world, but every day we have to improve. But we also have to bring people home as so many want to do, and rightly so, and also make sure that we have the critical medical or engineering or other workers that are uniquely qualified for some circumstances.
Tom McIlroy?
Thanks Minister. Wondering how many younger people do you expect to come forward for an AstraZeneca vaccine as a result of the changed decision from National Cabinet. What modelling has been done? What assumptions are you working on?
Sure. So I won't put a figure on that. This is responding to the fact that there have been requests under the informed consent process, under the existing ATAGI rules, under the existing processes. So that's not one where we will put a figure on it.
I will mention that as at this point in time, we have had 4.6 million doses of AstraZeneca and almost 2.8 million Pfizer, to round them off. And that together has provided the base of our program across the country.
Rachael?
Thanks Minister. Just to follow up on Josh's question about the indemnity scheme, so does this scheme cover individuals, or is it just for protecting doctors against indemnity and what can those individuals then do essentially if they do get injured from the AstraZeneca vaccine?
Well this is about claims against doctors, and what that means is if there are claims by individuals against doctors, then those claims will ultimately be settled through this process.
So it's a claim settlement process to protect doctors, but by definition that means that the individuals who are making those claims, if they are of course substantiated, will be addressed. The final details of that will be released within the coming week, and in particular though I would note that it is.
So individuals will still have to sue, essentially sue their doctor if they want some sort of compensation?
Well, what it would be is that they would make a claim against the process if there is a claim against the doctor. The details will be released within the course of the coming week after the completion of the consultation with the RACGP, the AMA and other medical groups.
But as I say, it covers all vaccines, all providers under the Commonwealth program, and all people who are coming forwards in relation to any claim against a medical provider of vaccination in the course of the COVID-19 program for the duration of the biosecurity provisions.
Then I have got Jane Norman, the ABC.
Hi, Minister. Just two questions on AstraZeneca. The first is that we understand CSL is producing about a million doses a week, but the latest figures show about 700,000 doses have been distributed.
I was just wondering if you could please explain what's that sort of shortfall is, where the shortfall is and then with this change overnight, is it fair to summarise that the Government is making AstraZeneca available because there are extra doses available and there's COVID now in the community, is that the kind of rationale?
So just in terms of the rationale, firstly that there's adequate supply. And what we're doing is meeting the supply requests. We are meeting the supply requests that are coming from all of the providers, whether that's GPs, Aboriginal Community Control and Health organisations, whether it's Commonwealth vaccination clinics, or State Governments.
So we're meeting all of those in full. And at this stage, there's no constraints on that supply, so we are providing up to the full amount of the demand. The next thing is that what we've done here is recognise that we have volume, we have GPs that are in a position and that we have the existing rules. We're staying within the existing rules.
And finally, the last thing that's occurring there is that, where that informed consent process has demand, at least that demand will be met.
Fiona?
Minister, I'm hoping to clarify something regarding Trudy's question on international arrivals, then I've got another one on GPs. But what I wanted to clarify, so this some states such as Queensland and Victoria obviously want to dramatically reduce the number of international arrivals they take in. Is that something they'd be able to do, or would the Federal Government refuse that request?
And on the GP thing, we've heard a number of GPs and even the Queensland Chief Health Officer come out and say don't get the AstraZeneca jab if you're under 40. Are you concerned that those comments we're hearing today could create further vaccine hesitancy?
So in terms of vaccine hesitancy, the position's very clear, that we've set out the medical advice, but we recognise that there are individuals who are seeking, through the informed consent process, to have that access.
There is no change to the medical advice. There is a recognition of the needs for access. And then, as a country, our advice is: please do not wait. If you are eligible and you do have access to the vaccine, in terms of the over-60s or the under-60s, come forward for your first dose, come forward for your second dose.
Okay, and then finally Mark Riley.
Sorry, Minister, could I get a clarification on the international arrivals question, please?
Well, on international arrivals, we note that New South Wales, even though it is going through a difficult time, but we are seeing the flattening of the curve in New South Wales. We are seeing that flattening of the curve, and I think that's something that the nation, as a whole, should recognise.
And noting that 11 months ago, Australia was having 700 cases a day on its highest day. Now, we're in a very different situation, and it's important to recognise that difference between a year ago and where we are now.
We have stronger controls at the borders. We have stronger testing, stronger tracing. We have 7.5 million vaccinations that have been delivered.
In terms of international arrivals, we would encourage every state and territory to help bring home as many Australians as possible, to bring families back together, to allow people to come home. We recognise and respect their decisions, ultimately, but New South Wales has done the heavy lifting on behalf of the nation. They're continuing to do that.
And we know that we can bring home Australians, we should bring home Australians, and the critical workers, whether it's in health or medical or engineering are fundamental to helping save lives and protect lives around the country.
Mark, last of all, you've been very patient, so thank you.
On June 17, when you announced that the latest ATAGI advice was that AstraZeneca was now not recommended for people under 60, I remember you saying two things. You said it was so important you announced it within 10 minutes of receiving it.
You also said that not accepting that advice wouldn't happen on your watch, wouldn't happen on the Prime Minister's watch, you always accepted the medical advice.
Why now, two weeks later, are you advising people to talk to their doctors about going against that advice? I think that's the real point I think Jane Norman was trying to get to.
Have these decisions been forced by your inability to get adequate supply of the Pfizer vaccine to cover younger Australians, and you have an effective oversupply of AstraZeneca?
No. With great respect, what we've done is ensure that we have very significant supplies of domestically made vaccine, sovereign vaccine manufacturing here in Australia.
The medical advice has not changed. There's simply a recognition that the access for those who wish to make an informed consent decision can be broadened, consistent with the supply.
And then secondly, in terms of the Pfizer, we're doubling the number of doses that are arriving in Australia on a weekly basis over the course of July. On average, we'll increase from over 300,000 to 600,000. And then after that, there's another 32.6 million doses over the course of the rest of the year.
So the time frames for these arrivals were set out long ago. Pfizer has delivered absolutely in accordance with what we've previously set out, the difference is that we've been able to bring forward another 400,000 doses to take it to 2.8 million over the course of July.
We're always working to bring forward more. In addition to what's coming forward with Pfizer, enough to ensure, with 40 million doses, the whole of the nation has access to that program. Another 10 million doses will come through the Moderna program, which will commence with a million in September and increase to three million during each of October, November and December.
So these are the time frames that were long ago established. The difference is we have been able to bring forward more earlier, but to the maximum amount available. We have a doubling of Pfizer over the course of the next month and then, as we know, we will grow again with a tripling of that over the course of the last three months of the year.
So I want to finish by just saying to the Australian people, I want to thank you for coming forward. 126,000 came forward to be vaccinated yesterday. 126,000 came forward to be tested yesterday.
These are challenging times for the world. But Australians have helped keep each other safe, and they're challenging times in Australia. The difference is that lives have been saved here and lives have been lost in unimaginable numbers overseas.
So we'll get through it. We've done it before. We'll work through it again. Almost, well, 11 months ago, we were seeing almost 30 times more cases on a daily basis than we are in Australia now. And so, with the work of all Australians, we'll manage to keep Australians safe and to ensure that, ultimately, our principal goal of saving lives and protecting lives is carried out to ensure that everyone's family is safe. Take care.

This exhibition emerges from the ideas put forth in texts written by Clara Porset, and published in national and international journals, such as Espacios, Arquitectura México, Decoración, Social (Cuba) and Arts and Architecture, among others. The designer's ideas and concerns provide a space for reflection within the gallery and allow the viewer to encounter the true meaning of her work: a socially conscious design rooted in tradition, but with an identity of its own, anchored on occasion in the national and yet proposing a new way of inhabiting space.
A pioneer in her field, Clara Porset Dumas (Cuba, 1895-1981), challenged the social conventions of her time and stood out as a designer and interior decorator during the heroic period of Mexican modern design. Her critical writings on design were a very important and yet practically overlooked aspect of her career, one that must be considered in conjunction with her vast work as a draftswoman.
Between 1930 and 1970, Clara Porset wrote deeply and prolifically on design, its essence, development, and scope. Her ideas, distributed by national and international outlets, permeated the discussion and reflection on design throughout those years. Clara Porset: Design and Thinking seeks to investigate Porset's thinking and concepts regarding modern design, its scope, and the difficulties that arose in a period that saw the construction of new identities and narratives.
Expanding on her renown as a practitioner and promoter of design, this exhibition reveals a previously unseen side of the designer: her work as a thinker. The show includes plans, photographs, miniatures, objects, and furniture sourced from private collections in Mexico, and documents from the Archivo Clara Porset in the Centro de Investigaciones de Diseño Industrial at the Facultad de Arquitectura de la UNAM, which houses her archives.
The Jumex Museum is the main platform of the Jumex Contemporary Art Foundation. It opened its doors to the public in November 2013 as an institution dedicated to contemporary art with the aim not only of serving a broad and diverse public, but also of becoming a laboratory for experimentation and innovation in the arts.

York's tourism leaders reveal surge in visitors as industry brings in £765m and supports 24,000 jobs
Tourism leaders in York have pledged to create a £1bn annual economy within the next five years but conceded they are faced with the dilemma of ensuring the historic city's medieval streets are not swamped by visitors.
Official figures published today (January 16) have revealed that the city, which is one of the North of England's most popular destinations, has witnessed a surge in the number of tourists, who have brought in £765m to an industry that is supporting 24,000 jobs.

The latest statistics for 2018 show there are now 8.4m visits to York each year – a 12 per cent rise – with a 20 per cent increase in tourists' spending which is the equivalent of £126m.
The head of marketing and communications at the tourism organisation, Make It York, Paul Whiting, told The Yorkshire Post that the ambition remains to reach an annual £1bn tourism industry after an initial strategy was launched six years ago.
A revised strategy will be unveiled today at the city's annual tourism conference, which will see 300 delegates attend the event at York Racecourse.
A marketing drive will be undertaken to persuade visitors to stay overnight rather than simply undertake day trips to York, although Mr Whiting admitted he was acutely aware that the city could not be swamped by ever-increasing numbers of tourists.

He said: "We are mindful to ensure that the whole visitor experience is about value, both in terms of the offer that is available in the city as well as the experience that people have here.
"There is so much on offer in York but it remains a living, breathing city which cannot simply be overtaken by tourists.
"We want the residents of the city to feel very much a part of the tourism industry as well, so that they can also enjoy what the city has to offer as well."
Day visitors account for four out of every five tourists in York, with a small growth in overnight visits of 4,000 more visits or 316,000 more bed nights.
There has, however, been a decline in the length of stays to an average of 2.2 nights, which is part of a steady fall over the past decade of about four per cent each year.
Mr Whiting also conceded that the drive to encourage more overnight stays could place additional pressures on York's notoriously expensive property market, with more homes converted to accommodate visitors.
The growth of Airbnb-style short-term lets has escalated to such an extent in Edinburgh, that the Scottish government announced this month it would introduce a licensing system by spring 2021.
The tourism strategy for York will continue to focus on bringing visitors in from London and the South-East, along with the foreign markets of the USA, China, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands.

The last time I was making ice cream, I asked My Beloved what type he would like. He said pumpkin. I was thinking that he would want vanilla. He said the mix before I froze it was a slow tango on his tongue. I do not know if it is really that good but there is no reason to have pumpkin ice cream out anymore!
Put everything in a pot except the cream. Cook a bit of the liquid off over low heat. This can become naplam type stuff so be careful.
I was using roasted pumpkin puree which was a bit runny. You would not have to do this with canned. I also used my immersion blender to make sure there were not lumps.
Take the pumpkin mixture off the heat. Mix in the cream. Cool and freeze by the directions for your machine.
I personally poured everything into a very large pyrex. Mixed well and stuck it in the freezer. That is how hard this is.

McDonald's early goal put us in control but from nowhere Tagliapietra and MacKinnon turned the game midway through the first half. We recovered after the break, scored immediately with Moult's header and seemed to have the game won when Skippy got his second. Desperate defending as the clock ran down ended with a Lasley hand ball and Crawford dispatched the penalty.
Johnson was in inspired form on the left wing and flew beyond red and white shirts at will. Law collected a high ball at the corner flag, jinked into the box and let loose. McDonald needed only a slight touch to open the scoring.
Hamilton were second best and it came as a shock when they equalised. Hall had conceded a foul wide on our right and the 6'4" defender rose to head home. It got worse three minutes later when a speculative effort from MacKinnon, 20 yards out, floated into the postage stamp corner.
A shaken Motherwell were glad of the break to sort out their problems. With 46 minutes on the clock a good run from Moult allowed him to square the ball along the six yard line where McDonald was covered by two defenders. His first effort was block and he was on his back but he got a foot to the ball and rolled it into the net.
With most of the 5,744 fans urging us on we pushed up. Just before the hour Grimshaw made an excellent charge on the right wing and fired a tempting cross to the near post. Moult glanced a header beyond McGovern to level the game.
We had the lead for the second time and kept up the pressure. Johnson stung McGovern's hands with a fierce shot but the fourth goal did not arrive.
Five minutes of added time were signalled and the Accies threw all forward. In the dying seconds Lasley handled and received his second yellow card. Crawford sent the away fans home the happier with the low driven penalty.
Still, our last five games have seen two draws and three wins, not a bad return.


If you are lucky enough to have an EA, the success of this working relationship greatly affects your ability to produce results. This article provides sugges tions for the range of roles your EA might play in assisting you with your work and relationships. Please feel free to adapt this to enhance the specific working relationships between you and your EA. With each task, I have suggested a role, a way your EA might consider approaching the task.
Please feel free to personalise this to reflect and enhance the working relationships between you and your EA.
I need 1 hour uninterrupted at the start of each day for a "Strategic Projects Review" meeting. This allows me to process tasks that I have collected from the previous day If someone wants to see me urgently, for 10 mins max, during this time, email me and I will let you know when I can see them.
I need 90 mins on a Friday or Monday to do a weekly review.
Consult verbally with me or by txt or email for all proposed meetings outside of the hours 9am-4pm.
The day following my weekly review, schedule 10 mins with me where you and I discuss my priorities for the week.
I will ask you to prioritise desk tasks – you can use the scheduled Strategic Project Review times for these tasks. Allocate 1, 2 or 3 to each task in order of priority.
12. Process meeting requests (which are filtered into a separate folder) according to the above guidelines. The further down the organisation hierarchy the stakeholder is and the lower the priority, the more you should consider dictating terms that are more convenient to me – do this in a considerate and friendly way – not autocratic. You could consider who else might be best to meet this person where this is an option. My expectation though is that our team managers will meet with those at their level. I will meet with these people only where a manager specifically invites me to do so.
I use evenings to read documents and plan for the day ahead, hence the overnight pack. I often work from home at night as well.
Prepare my overnight pack each day and leave it in my briefcase at the end of each day. If I am leaving directly for home from another location you will need to either prepare it earlier or send it to me.
My non-essential reading folder. This includes magazines and other publications.
My day portfolio for the next day, including diary printout, meeting papers (organised in time and ordered in an easily accessed fashion).
3. I will drop the overnight pack on your desk each morning. Occasionally you might need to arrange to pick it up from another location if I'm going to be out of the office for some time.
e. Add to contacts – add the sender's details to my outlook contacts3.
NOTE: The best way to find all emails with flags for you to action is to use the Categorize Mail search folder which will search and filter the category flags from all folders.
2. This is a guide and you should use your good judgement. For example, if a stakeholder has flown from out of town just to see me, someone on the 'A' list shouldn't automatically trump them.
3. The closeness of the stakeholder should determine the level of care and attention you afford them. Display care and empathy for everyone, but some people you should be proactive in building your relationship with (including their EA's). This means things like calling to discuss convenience of appointments, following up with reminders, using their names etc.
folder of my overnight pack.
Reference material may need a purge every now and again – probably best just to schedule something in my diary: action – purge time.
I would like you to QA any memos that come to me and reject any that are sub-standard – eg. spelling or grammar mistakes, incorrect format, no recommendations or poor recommendations, lack of conciseness etc. I don't expect you to always know the content but I do want you to set a high bar on the other aspects.
I want you to be the group expert on templates and processes to get decisions made, including to the General Managers, CE and Minister.
Nurture collaborative relationships within OUR GROUP, the branch EA's and with my key stakeholders and their EA's.
You should give consideration to any reasonable ad-hoc requests for help from OUR GROUP but if you feel it may compromise your ability to assist me, talk to me first.
Confidentiality – I will share almost everything with you that is work related. You should treat this as confidential at all times.
ting a sense of my priorities so you can make decisions.
… and be firm, when you need to be.
These are the workflows I expect you to manage and own – ie. you need to proactively manage me and others to get the outcome.
I don't like clutter and prefer a clear desk and an uncluttered work environment.
I like professional presentation and really dislike poorly formatted documents. I don't mind if it is an early draft but final documents must have professional polish, without any typos or spelling mistakes.
Disorganisation drives me nuts (but you've probably figured that out by now).
Mistakes are ok … repeating them isn't.
I expect commitments to be held … if a deadline is going to be missed, tell me early. Telling me a deadline will be missed after it has occurred just makes me grumpy.
How might you increase your accessibility and effectiveness with clear and shared expectations with those around you?

NUALS is the fastest growing NLU in India. Considering it is pretty new in the class of law schools of India it has done a tremendous job to grown to the state it is in today. And the fact is it is still growing. They are still improving their college infrastructure (something that they lack now) and is also building up a strong faculty.

Best college for bonafide scholars

It always has been dream of studying best law college in India and when you make through your dream college. The thing that comes to your mind is now you have to spend your five-year there so how is infrastructure, teaching faculty,location,study environment,library and when you are outside the another thing that comes to your mind is hostel life. I assure you everything is fine but if you are outsider than you have to face some problem with food because they provide you mostly south Indian food and they will accommodate you with three people which is very much problematic for you if you are introvert but on the other hand it is profitable also as you have interaction with more people so your personality the trait is changed which is very helpful to you because as a future lawyer if you are extrovert than you can excel in your career. In last, i will say the college is best for the guys who are especially from south India and it is not at all bad for the people who are outsiders. And one more thing you will not get a vacation on Diwali or tusseh ara you will only get the vacation on onam for 8-10 days so if you live away from your home like somewhere in Madhya Pradesh, orrisa,Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,Himachal , then it will take 2-3 days alone for travelling so if you are financially strong than not at all a problem for you because you can afford flight service until and unless you live in any city which is directly connected to flight through Kochi . So at last, I will say that college is no doubt best but you have to think on several points before taking admission like distance from your home, food etc.

Our college is located both within Kochi and not quite in Kochi. The result is a rather peaceful area still proximate to the advantages of a city, with Lulu, the largest mall in India, only a short distance away. The airport is also a short drive and Alwaye Railway station is even closer. Tackling sports, as of right now we have a football field that is also used for cricket along with a volleyball court (outside, solid ground) we also have a state of the art gym along with table tennis and an area in both Hostels for badminton. With regard to WiFi, the network is being upgraded to optic fibre as you read this and has transfer speeds of above 100 Mbps. We have a large auditorium and a well-equipped seminar Hall, with a Bose sound system. We have an Open Air Amphitheatre that's used for events, performances, the occasional meeting or just hanging out. Our alumni have been recruited by top-tier firms like Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM), Desai & Diwanji, Trilegal, Nishith Desai Associates (NDA), Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys, Khaitan & Co, Wadia Ghandy & Co, etc. Some of them have also been made partners in these firms. Other recruiters like ICICI Bank, Wipro, Vedanta and niche firms like India law, Indus Law, Lexigen among others have been regularly recruiting from NUALS. There are a plethora of activities for one to engage in at College, ranging from an active debating scene to gaming. The Mooting culture in NUALS is deep-seated. Numerous teams have represented the University at top-grade Moot Court Competitions, bringing laurels to the University. NAALAM, NUALS Kochi is our Annual Inter-Collegiate Cultural Fest. It consists of a plethora of events and has been a success over the years. We have featured Sunburn Campus, The Global Music Festival, and Headbanger's Ball as some of the main events. Here are 14 Academic Centers in NUALS sponsored by the Government of Kerala engaged in research and training in their respective fields of study

NUALS, by way of land area, is not particularly large at 10 acres. However, our campus is steadily growing with every passing semester. Our college is located both within Kochi and not quite in Kochi. The result is a rather peaceful area still proximate to the advantages of a city, with Lulu, the largest mall in India, only a short distance away. The airport is also a short drive and Alwaye Railway station is even closer. The immediate area has several shops for food and provisions as well as a small café. The canteen on campus is also available and serves different food depending on the time and day. They also stock provisions and snacks at low prices and will always have the quintessential lime soda. Tackling sports, as of right now we have a football field, that is also used for cricket, along with a volleyball court(outside, solid ground) We also have a state of the art gym along with table tennis and an area in both Hostels for badminton (the girls have a proper cement court; guys have a marked space but the ground is still earth) Two tennis courts and a basketball court are to be built on the recently acquired land expansion. There are also plans to turn the ground. With regard to WiFi, the network is being upgraded to optic fibre as you read this and has transfer speeds of above 100 Mbps. While there is currently an issue with some sites being blocked, YouTube being a notable example, post implementation of optic fibre this is likely to be changed. We have a large auditorium and a well-equipped seminar Hall, with a Bose sound system. Those musically inclined will be happy to know that college has its own music room and some instruments, including a Pearl drumset and Yamaha bass. Finally, we have an Open Air Amphitheatre that's used for events, performances, the occasional meeting or just hanging out

I Would like to know which is better, IFIM or Kochi Nuals, for 5 year BBA Llb course.Im looking to go for Corporate Law
Sk Student Expert 3rd Jul, 2020
Dear Aspirant,
They both don't figure in the top 20 Law schools in India under the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF). Now we need to use other methods of assessment. If you look at the faculty of both we find that NUALS have more experienced teachers.
Our suggestion is that you weigh this aspect and decide as Law is one area where experience counts. Since you want to specialize in Corporate Law, find out the expertise in this domain.
