80% opening date for churches brought forward a week in NSW - with Michael Stead

Churches will be free to open for vaccinated and unvaccinated people a week earlier than had been expected in New South Wales. 

With 80% of NSW adult population fully vaccinated, a new Public Health Order comes into force from Monday 18 October 2021.

We talk with South Sydney Anglican Bishop Michael Stead about the implications of the new PHO, contradictions between it and the COVID safe plan, and what to do about ventilation.
