Episode description

As vaccination rates across Australia continue to surge, the country is preparing for life after lockdown.


But focusing on the headline, national vaccination rate masks the fact that many vulnerable groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, have been left behind in the race to get vaccinated.

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on how governments let down some of those most at risk from Covid-19, and what that means as we open back up.
