Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced her worst day ever, reporting 466 cases. She is insisting that the way out for her is in imposing further restrictions, but it does appear as if her lockdowns are causing the increase in cases.
Meanwhile she continues to insist that even one jab will prevent transmissions, despite Australian epidemiologists warning her that her policy is dangerous, at best "experimental". In the words of the AFR:
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s plan to extend the time between Pfizer shots so jabs can be diverted to the front line of Sydney’s worsening COVID-19 outbreak may help with hospital admission numbers but will not be as effective against transmission as full vaccinations, health experts say.
Ms Berejiklian announced on Friday that NSW residents receiving the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine would now wait six weeks between their first and second jabs in order to stretch supply so more south-west Sydneysiders could receive an initial dose.
UNSW epidemiologist Marylouise McLaws warned against the decision, however, saying it was a “bit experimental” and instead called for under 40s in hotspot areas to get both Pfizer doses as quickly as possible.

A COVID outbreak that seems to have erupted simultaneously along the NSW coast, and then concentrated in the South West by Gladys Berejiklian's lockdowns
by Ganesh Sahathevan
The graphics and story below have been generated by News.com.au.
The story says the the latest outbreak started in Bondi and then spread throughout the stage. The mapping on the other hand shows that while there were higher numbers in East Sydney in the week 16-23 June, there were outbreaks all over the state. In the following weeks the outbreak seems have been concentrated into the South West. That coincided with Gladys Berejiklians lockdowns.
As NSW CMO Kerry Chant said, the contagion was between households.
Map shows how COVID-19 spread and concentrated in Sydney’s west
By Jenny Noyes
Since the Sydney COVID-19 outbreak began in Bondi on June 16, cases with the virus spread to the city’s western suburbs and quickly multiplied in those communities – while case numbers have remained low in the east.
In Fairfield, case numbers are nearing 900, while the next-worst-affected LGA is Canterbury-Bankstown, where numbers are approaching 500. Cumberland and Liverpool have more than 200 cases, and Blacktown has more than 100.
In the CBD and east, LGAs have had less than 100 cases since the outbreak began, despite it starting in those areas.

Could DeltaCOVID in South Western NSW have mutated from WuhanCovid hotspots in Willoughby, Ryde, Hurstville-Gladys Berejiklian's failure to ring fence her own electorate in April 2020 may explain Berejiklian's "national emergency"
by Ganesh Sahathevan
NSW Premeir Gladys Berejiklian
In April 2020 NSW Premier Galdys Berejiklian ignored evidence of WuhanCOVID hotspots in her own electorate of Willoughby, and other areas in which WuhanCOVID cases were reported (see story and map below).
Instead of ring fencing those regions like she has done now to a number of LGAs in South Western Sydney, she locked down the entire state, and declared that she had vanquished WuhanCOVID.
Gladys Berejiklian's own data suggests that there may be more than one "Patient Zero"-Is Bondi limo driver who has been cleared of any wrongdoing being scapegoated for NSW Health failures

Premier Gladys Berejiklian's latest hotspot map seems to have gaps in and around her Willoughby constituency : Have persons in these areas been tested, or is this a case of deliberately ignoring inconvenient evidence
There seems to be a gap in NSW's COVID19/Wuhan Virus mapping. The map below shows hotspots
that NSW Health says should be avoided for fear of community contagion.
The public is entitled to know the extent of testing for COVID 19 in those areas. It does appear as if there has been an attempt to ensure that evidence that inconvenient is never produced.
