100k doesn’t in any way, shape or form represent the sum of all “key workers” minus those than can work from home. However they are clearly trying to prioritise what would be the highest class of key worker for testing to ensure they (and their organisations) can continue to supply key services.
The vast majority of key workers would only have an impact at very localised levels and not be worthy of being deemed a national priority given substantial limitations on supply.
Removing the confirmatory PCR for positive LFTs is a plus also. While there’s a tiny false positive rate when a hundreds of thousands of people are testing positive every day the marginal benefit of this is close to the vaccine efficacy of a least one, if not all, major vaccines.
However I’ll also agree, well done Australia for kicking Djokovic out. Whatever the merits of vaccine passports or not, the rules apply to all.
