It's Monday 19 April, and national cabinet is meeting today to try and resurrect the vaccine rollout. Meanwhile, our readers say Australia's mental health system is the worst it's ever been". This is Imogen Dewey with this morning's main stories.

Tackling growing vaccine hesitancy, supply and speeding up the rollout will be the main focus of the renewed biweekly national cabinet meetings, back on today for the first time leaders have met since Scott Morrison recalled twice-weekly meetings. Yesterday both the prime minister, and health minister Greg Hunt hinted vaccinated Australians may be allowed to travel overseas and quarantine at home, rather than in hotels, in the second half of the year. This comes as the NSW health department investigates how three members of a family acquired Covid-19 while in hotel quarantine in Sydney. But such a switch would need the agreement of the states and territories, who at this stage, remain hesitant to cede any control over what has been a successful public health response. The Morrison government is actively considering assisting Australian manufacturers to produce mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, such as Pfizer, at scale - something Hunt says would require a significant period of scaling up".
