Will Australians ever fight back against the totalitarian thugs that Australian politicians have become, using fear to keep ignorant people down and crying for help from a 'strong man'. Using fear is basic 101 how to become a dictator. They now have a young woman, oxygened up, struggling for breathing, advertising that Covid can happen to anyone. How crude can they be!

In Cuba, poor ignorant citizens have taken to the streets protesting against the Castro Communist thugs. In Australia, the poor ignorant citizens slow-boil like frogs.

Don’t you love this one:

*...Sounding at points comically maternal, Berejiklian has been telling those in Sydney to be honest about where they have been...#

And this coming from the mafia Godmother of property developers herself, Berejiklian.

I give up on this world.

This has been on the cards since the Ruby Princess and the keystone cops/buck-passing debacle that let the first strain in.

Then it was not fit for purpose hotel quarantine. And the daily photo op of the self-congratulating ( I don't handle a hose) P.M.

When it comes to a pandemic! Words are just that, words! When what was needed then and now, was resolute action!

Actions that meant, we'd stop this virus or any of the increasingly virulent and deadly strains before they got in. And that had to and still does, require island quarantine. Not looking after cronies with investments in inner-city hotels?

Then it was a Federal medico who suggested herd immunity by just letting her rip? As occurred in NY! Along with the mass graves etc, that followed!

Then it was the absolute reluctance to invest in the local manufacture of MRd vaccines? Before we privatised anything not nailed down, we could have done it in our C.R.S.O.I.

We didn't have a tertiary hospital on Christmas Island! So when that kid got so very sick! The government flew her to Perth, where she received treatment! And that same medivac paradigm could work for all island quarantine!

I' am for one just so over a government that tells what they won't do! Then when they are forced to do something? Have a ready-made solution in medivac!

And where they've been able, politicised a pandemic shamelessly?

Moreover, they seem to fail to understand, that a fully vaccinated person can still play host to a virus as an Asymptomatic super spreader carrier!

So masks, quarantine and rapid testing will need to continue until there is herd immunity! And for that to be realised, the tin lids will also need to be fully vaccinated! As for the delta variant? The right approach is a sharp and full lockdown, replete with a mandatory curfew! And non-compliance treated with a hefty fine and a period on an island!

Works for me!

A man in WA has been jailed for 7 months for a quarantine breach. People regularly kill people with cars, get charged with causing death by dangerous driving, an never go any where near a jail.

The “Great” fail here is the failure of the collective when putting their total trust in a political system to save them from death.

Eg, reliance for survival on a welfare system, does a pretty good job at reinforcing the misconception.
I notice someone on this site claimed 80% of our population are so secured.

This broken dream is the reality now that politicians are exposed to. So desperate to continue the lie are they, that absurdity is the only outcome.

Anything which reduces reliance on Politicians can only be a good thing on the road to recovering credibility to our administrations, for that is what they are, and definitely not a God or a spiritual substitute.

I put my thoughts in a discussion I started June 27th "Gladys Don't Use The "L" Word". It was obvious then that Berejiklian had become a captive of the money changers and any attempt to quash the delta virus was dependent on their financial interests above all else, public health was a secondary consideration. The incompetent NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard continues to retain his position despite a number of bungles and stuff-ups by his department. The most recent being the "Mr Limo Driver" fiasco which sparked this new outbreak. We had the appalling spectacle the other day of Berejiklian, Hazzard and Chant trying to explain to the public the meaning of the word "essential" as it applied to work and needs. If it wasn't so serious you would have to laugh.

The other absurdity is Morrison and the vaccine, despite being caught with his pants down Morrison is insisting wagon loads of vaccines will be coming over the hill, when...shortly! The fact is Morrison and co left Australia vulnerable to serious infection and yet again like NSW no one in government is taking responsibility.
