By Lyn Bender, published 7/8/2020

A Melburnians diary and ruminations of lockdown under Daniel Andrews, and not under Donald Trump.

How rewarding it is to see Andrews squirming away in the peak southern hillbilly state.

No evidence yet, the Chinese are extending a helping hand towards him: So maybe its true, sucking up and crawling along to the oppressor, is not an assured remedy to more affliction from the bully. Ho ho.

Maybe Andrews could roll out Julia Gillard on a platform of gay rights and BLM podium.
The true meaning of "drone"!
And actually, was it not a BLM protest which totally ignored the pandemic necessity of crowdless streets, which kick started the dramatic decline in health outcomes for the other half of sensible Victorians not supportive of Andrews and his Chinese "lackies" Government?

If you want to rubbish Donald Trump, it's pretty stupid to mention the worst, most incompetent Australian politician ever - Daniel Andrews - in the same piece.

Ttbn,

I believe that Andrews has taken full responsibility for the renewed outbreak in Victoria.

Meanwhile Trumpf plays golf. The death rate there 'is what it is'. Does Nero come to mind for anyone else ?

Andrews is an easy target for the hard right and Trump devotees. But if Trump were in charge in Vic? Can only imagine the mass graves they have to dig, to keep up with the death toll a la NY?

We were too slow, did too little and now Andrews wears the consequences of a (it's just a flu) lassie faire approach initially?

But, now that we know our aging pollies are front and centre in the cross hairs of a killer virus, suddenly the purse strings are ripped apart as far as the idealogical imperitives will allow! TBC.

"Does Nero come to mind for anyone else ?"

Well not immediately, but since you mentioned it....

Nero was falsely accused of fiddling while Rome burned and falsely accused of starting the fire. Of course the accusations were made by people who didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

So yes, the comparison of Trump and Nero is, in this regard, rather apt.

It looks like Lyn's mind must have got a bit muddled with being locked down & all.

Obviously she thought she was doing a bit of a chapter for her book, when she typed this pile of fiction.
