Just as Andrews has his scandal in hotel quarantine, Morrison has his in aged care, and Berejiklian has her Ruby Princess. Unfortunately when it comes to a medical crises, you can't take the politics out of politicians. The daily ritual of our leaders fronting the cameras, then the wringing of hands begins, followed by the gnashing of teeth. This is followed by some kind of contrived platitude of sorrow such as; "I am sorry to report another dozen bods have cark-it overnight, mostly old farts on their last legs anyway...our thoughts and prayers are with their relos, and they shall be forever in our hearts....but don't forget, vote for me at the next election." maybe I am a bit over the top with that, and politicians, like the rest of us do have feelings for our fellow man.

When it comes to the efforts of our leaders in handling the pandemic its my opinion they have been adequate, but nothing outstanding. The politicians are like the school boy who gets a "D minus" on his term paper, then proceeds to wave it around in the air, like as if its an "A plus" all awhile loudly proclaiming "I am the smartest kid in the class!"

Yes Paul, nailed it and even as he waves his exam D minus, results, the
foreign school bully is out there, giving him what for, then sticking the boot in while he is down.

Or if you will, pretending that it's just a flu! And manipulated to kill the economy! I could say, shite for brains? But that would be too polite!

A nation divided amoung itself, cannot stand. And some folk, in far off (Russian/Chinese) rooms are doing an excellent, [divide and conquer,] job on that front, aren't they? With excellent help from their broadcasting RW stooges? And if the cap fits?
