Ryan Hisner discussed the emergence of multiple samples of BA.3.2.* from Western Australia with a unique deletion near the furin cleavage site. This implies successful transmission with those mutations.

BA.3.2.2 nearly 50% of recent Western Australia sequences—perhaps on a path to dominance there?
In this latest batch, there's another furin-cleavage site (FCS)-adjacent ∆QT sequence. It's very closely related to the first one, so there's now no doubt that the deletion is real. 1/3

Recent data for Australia has only been shared from Western Australia and New South Wales.
Data from Victoria (2nd-largest state and self-proclaimed home of "Australia’s world renowned bio-medical research centre") now lags by around 6 weeks.

Within Australia, BA.3.2.* samples continue to be reported from Western Australia, despite the extremely low levels of recent sampling (grey column chart across the bottom).
A batch of 20 samples were collected in WA on 4 Nov, hopefully the start of an increase in volume.
