Thanks for reading today. A quick round up of the headlines:

-- The Reserve Bank of Australia expects the economy to “bounce back” from virus lockdowns, and it is pressing ahead with plans to dial back its $200 billion bond-buying stimulus.

-- The latest data from the federal government shows there have been 21.2 million vaccine doses administered so far in the national rollout, an increase of 258,946 doses in 24 hours.

-- The federal government has accused the Labor states of stage managing a fight over the vaccine rollout after they claimed NSW was receiving preferential treatment under a “secret deal”, and demanded hundreds of thousands of extra doses as payback. The government acknowledged hundreds of thousands of extra Pfizer doses had been funnelled to NSW in the past two months via the GP and pharmacy vaccination networks, which are Commonwealth controlled, saying they were needed to save lives as the state’s outbreak ran out of control.

-- Victoria claims it has ICU capacity of 4000 beds, enough it says to meet tens of thousands of cases a week, as the state braces for a surge in demand for acute care and local infections continue to rise sharply.

-- Scott Morrison has defended his Father’s Day trip home to Sydney at the weekend, a trip which has angered Australians who can’t see their families due to border bans. “I can understand people’s frustration but I do think there has been a lot of misinformation,” he said.
