That way I won't have to waste my time having to correct people.

Armchair's major source for what he laughingly calls his research is 'Global Research'.

Here's all you need to know about globalresearch.... http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Globalresearch

There are dills and morons and fools...and then there's AC.

Dear individual,

What on earth are you talking about. David Speer did not serially interrupt the guests at all. He pulled Greg Hunt up a few times mainly because Hunt is well known for stretching out his answers to lessen exposure to having to deal with difficult questions.

The CMO was obviously talking around the sticky political questions which was fine but Speer rightly asked him on specifics such as going to the movies which I have no problem with. Why do you?

When Hunt took his answers over 30 seconds, especially when he was prattling on about how good a job his government was doing, Speers was right to call him to order.

Why on earth do you get your knickers in a knot when any member of the government is challenged even in the slightest? You use to deride all politicians, now it's hands off your mob. How do you think this serves Australia?

Steeleredux,
That git was asking questions like a little school girl. The two chaps were concise but the git kept asking questions for answers that go without saying.

Dear individual,

Concise? Hardly. How many times did they both dodge the question about whether an over 70 year old should go to a crowded movie theater?

The CMO was saying inane things like this will get worse and when it does we will elevate the protocols then. Well how about instituting them now to try and prevent things getting worse.

I ask again, why do you feel the need to be an apologist for this government minister who for all his posturing has not stepped up to the degree he should have.

We seem to be constantly playing catch up with the likes of New Zealand. Canada is considering closing its border with the US. We should have done it at least a week ago.

Only the most sycophantic could be happy with the way this government has deealt with this so far. Scomo saying we should be avoiding lrge gatherings but insisting he would be going to the footy. The cabinet refusing to be tested or self isolating after contact with Dutton. Perhaps it wouldn't have made one iota of difference but it certainly would have sent the right message.

Tossers the lot of them.

SteeleRedux,
Why even ask ? That's the stupidity of it ! I'm 70 & I know that if I go into a crowded room I risk contracting this & other viruses. The two answered the git with the same phrase "the situation changes from day to day" yet the git kept asking for precise predictions whilst the two kept saying "we need to wait & see".
Only over educated people are so stupid that need to be told precisely how to behave. The average village idiot knows that it goes without saying that you're safer staying away from mass gatherings full stop. The over educated pseudo intellectuals need to ask if & when they should do something that is not even necessary yet exposes them to the virus ??
The idiotic notion of 'so, it's ok to go tonight but not tomorrow" because the Govt said as of tomorrow we close this & that venue it is safe tonight but not tomorrow ?
The Govt has the responsibility of giving notice to businesses to adjust. A business is not like the Public Service where funding comes in no matter if you perform or not.
Everyone knows about the virus by know yet some still need to be told how to behave minute by minute. That shows how stupid some are including Speers !
