"The Australian government has abandoned its ambitious targets to have the
adult population vaccinated by the end of October. It has, in fact, abandoned
having any target.
We all sometimes find ourselves in tough positions and just want to call it a
day. But this decision is not what we should expect from the nation’s leaders
when so much is at stake. It also goes against decades of research and evidence
on the importance of goal-setting.
In January Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the plan was to have four million
Australians vaccinated by the end of March, and the entire adult population by
the end of October. At the start of April, however, the actual number was less
than 842,000. (As of April 15 the number was just over 1.4 million doses.)
Then, on April 11, in a video posted to his Facebook page at 11:35pm, Morrison
announced there would be no more targets. “We are just getting on with it,” he
said.
But without any target, what is the “it” we should be “getting on with”?"
