Royal Commissions sound good, but they don't do much good.

"... that might result in exposing a government's mismanagement of the pandemic".

I think that mismanagement has been well and truly exposed without any investigation. The incompetence of "experts", politicians, the brutality of police, and the twisted scaremongering of the media is with us every day.

We don’t need a Royal Commission; we need someone who can do something about it. We simply do not have that someone in Australia.

A royal commission? Would achieve what? A whole lot more debt and money better spent on bringing new locally developed, covid anti-virus therapeutics to market! Of most interest, an injection that destroys 99.99% of the viral load!

And should be coupled to island quarantine as part of a regime of learning to live with covid, that makes the most sense! And as a proven safe, efficacious patent medicine, could be sold by the shipload to our overseas customers! Clinical trials should be offered to poor neighbours and non-violent African municipalities, to establish the foregoing!

The experts generally know what they are doing. The ones that ARE incompetent and haven`t a clue and can see no further than the ends of their noses and/or the next election are the politicians.
Particularly the "inspiring" health minister.
