PM put making money as a priority over health last night.
Paul1405,
What's the alternative when Health depends so much on it ? Doctors aren't exactly cheap neither are equipment, medical staff ! And, you do want medical help when you need it don't you ?
May I suggest to gather some integrity & refrain from opportunistic political side swiping !

Indy, in this time of crises, there is a danger in simply unquestioned bending to authority. What is critical is to maintain our right to question, to criticise, to disagree. In the particular example it was one group "boot camp" operators being allowed ten in attendance (now reduced to two) and a wedding only allowed the wedding party a group of five, and no one else. When questioned on this, ScumO' simply related that inconsistency to the profit of a business operator, putting profit before lives, which in itself should be unacceptable. How do you see it?

The 'Ruby Princess', questioning shows a cover up by the NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard, a monumental stuff up, he and the LNP government has been trying to deflect criticism for the past week, seven dead and hundreds infected, right at this moment, for which Hazzard is ultimately responsible. Hazzard as the minister in charge should resign his position forthwith! You might not agree.

"Indy, in this time of crises, there is a danger in simply unquestioned bending to authority. What is critical is to maintain our right to question, to criticise, to disagree."

I support Paul1405 100% on this.
We have a right and an obligation to question, criticise and disagree.
It's essential, because if we don't the result is that democracy and government policies fail us, and we all pay more in the long run.

Armchair Critic,
Yes, that's why a always question the mentality of some posters !

in simply unquestioned bending to authority.
Paul1405,
This is a time of severe crisis. To instantly criticise attempts thought up at extremely short notice without benefit of hindsight to remedy the crisis & steering as straight as a Die to political manipulation, makes the criticiser no better than those he criticises.
I put it to you, what is the next step that you think the authorities should take in the COVID-19 crisis without attracting criticism ?

Indy, the 'Ruby Princess' is now subject to a police investigation to establish if charges of criminal negligence should be laid. Seems you would simply sweep it under the carpet in a blind panic and be done with it.

These are extraordinary times, requiring rapid decision making on the part of our political leadership. Decisions that at other times would be unacceptable. That is not to say, because times are extraordinary we should simply give that leadership carte blanche to do as they please without scrutiny and with no possible ramifications. Without questioning we could end up in the Hungarian position.
