From Nine To Noon, 9:07 am on 4 March 2021

Cabinet ministers have been sitting on advice regarding a nationwide vaccination schedule for weeks, but have yet to finalise or publish a complete plan. That's despite Australia unveiling an extensive framework almost two months ago, identifying various groups of the population and their order of priority.
