Whatever this correspondent thinks, it's a good bet that I'll think the opposite.

On this occasion, despite repeated readings, I have no idea what he's on about.

Con men and tantrum throwers failed to convince the public re the gw hoax. People are smart enough to see the numerous failed predictions and watch China build hundreds of coal fired power stations with cheap Aussie coal. The plandemic however has shown how quickly Aussies cave in to fear and are prepared to allow their States to become Police States even though the 'experts' have got it pathetically wrong and make it up as they go along. Cowardly Politicians aided by the lying liberal media have hidden behind white coats and stuffed the country for generations to come. No doubt China wonder how the West became so stupid.

Put simply the virus has been a political winner for some, and a dead loss for others, politicians that is. In Oz, most incumbents have benefited through a perceived leadership quality. Morrison lacked that leadership during the bushfires and consequently suffered in the polls. Now Morrison is perceived as a stoic leader in the face of adversity, something poor old Albo can only wish for, and the polls reflect that.

Looking elsewhere in New Zealand, Ardern although given some benefit of the doubt, and a very poor incumbent government, just scraped in at the election. She was perceived as somewhat weak on the leadership front and would probably be lucky to last one term, possibly it was the perceived "girlie" thing . Then along came Christchurch, and her leadership qualities came to the fore, and up goes her stocks. The virus hits and the Ardern government is lorded as having real leadership qualities in dealing with the pandemic as measured by the health impact on the populace. In the up coming election Ardern looks like winning in a canter. two things will account for that Christchurch and the virus.

Donald Trump was sailing along comfortably, and looked set for a second term. He was perceived as an wacky but strong leader, and was mostly pushing the right buttons with the American voters. Along comes the virus, and Trumps haphazard indecisive divided leadership, and presto the blokes in danger of being a one term president, who will be best remembered for his claims for the medical qualities of disinfectant and a few hundred thousand dead.
