Shadow, there have been mistakes made in Victoria, particularly the use of private money grabbers as security in quarantine facilities (hotels). For that mistake heads should roll. Why do you fail to recognise the gross incompetence of the NSW Health Minister "The Hazard" along with the state Primer with their handling of the 'Ruby Princess' and 'Newmarch House' fiascoes which resulted in A LARGE NUMBER OF DEATHS! Andrews, by and large, has done a good job in Victoria, not perfect, but satisfactory. Even ScumO' recognises that as he rides along on the coat tails of Andrews and the other Primers on the handling of the pandemic.

BTW; Have you given up the legal silk, and become a medical doctor during the pandemic? Is it another one of your degrees from the back of the 'Corn Flakes' packet?

BBTW; Too bad about the result in Eden-Monaro, ScumO' and his Liberal candidate got "burned" by the voters after their inaction on the bush fires. DID YOU SEE; John Barilaro the NSW Nationals leader declared he gave his preference to LABOR at the election. Even that cow cocky knows how rancid the Federal Coalition is.

Paul,

The ruby princess saga was in a different league. When the ruby princess was docking in Sydney restrictions were just being put in place, add to that a false health declaration by the ship's captain and an executive decision by the harbour master without consulting the health minister and you get that disaster.

Roll forward a few months where the consequences have become clear, and in one fell swoop the previous 3 months of lock down in Victoria are thrown in the crapper. Security guards are generally poorly paid and trained, and any business that employs them usually inducts them and provides some training. Bubonic Dan did neither. He also sat on the Cedar lakes meat works issue and waved through the BLM protests.

Corona Dan has been on the forefront of this issue in Vic and should be dismissed before he causes any more damage.

Contrast Sweden with Kerala - a Marxist state about which the media has remained largely silent.Canada and Kerala have approximately the same size population 37 and 35 million respectively. Canada has a per capita GDP of about $50,000 contrasted to Kerala with a per capita GDP of $2,700. Based on just those figures one would expect that Canada would have more resources to protect its population than Kerala. However, Canada had 97,114 cases resulted in 7,960 deaths whereas Kerala had a total of 2096 cases resulting in 16 deaths. Even now as cases are exploding in the rest of India, Kerala has remained a safe place.

Dear Baygon,

Good point but it is worth noting Kerala is about as far from the initial source as an Indian state can be. Canada is smack up against the world's most infected nation.

Dear Shadow minister,

You write;

“You conveniently forgot to address the 10 000 people at the BLM rally for which Disease Dan made no effort to stop.”

This is the thing that really sticks in your craw isn't it. This is despite the fact that the protests were held out door with a startlingly high face mask compliance among those attending and to date there has only been a single case directly attributed to the event.

Mate, black lives matter. Get over it. We really don't need your covert racism infecting every topic on here do we.

Oh and if Andrews is the worst leader because of Victoria's response where does Trump fit in your metric?

SR,.

In the week or so since this Tower crisis hit, there have been no deaths from the virus in those towers. In the past week, there have been four thousand deaths from this virus in the US.

Around three thousand people are in quarantine on those towers. In the past week, a quarter of a million Americans have tested positive to the virus. God knows how the health system is coping over there: with that many last week and even more this week (and next week, and the next: wow, there's a million in a month), one wonders if there is any tracing going on ?

So give me Andrews' approach any day over Dr Trumpf's. Of course, like Trumpf, we could cover our eyes, our health systems could do no testing and - presto ! - find no new positive cases. Problem solved !

I look forward to Trumpf one day walking through a Rocky Mountain forest with his hands over his eyes - that way, he will see no bears, fall over no cliffs, stub his toe on no rocks. Like any five-year-old would expect :)

Joe

SR,

Thanks for providing a spectacular example of desperate fckwittery. In the event of abject failure play the race card. Coming from anti-semite that is hilarious.

Several points:

1- The latest covid count from Bubonic Dan's BLM rally was 4 a while ago, not counting those infected by Dan's virtue signalling idiots.

2- Mate, Jewish lives matter. Get over it. We really don't need your overt racism infecting every topic on here do we. Seriously, do you ever miss an opportunity to virtue signal??

3- Now you brought it up, Chairman Dan and Trump have a lot in common. Bubonic Dan does have a little catching up to do, but he is trying hard.
