Mr. 'I-will-do-and-say-anything-to-keep-the-job' is hiding behind, and listening to, what one commentator described as 'rent a quote "medical experts"', and 'social media fear-dwellers'.

ttbn,

What would you have the PM and the government do?
Who should they listen to if not medical experts?

Our Federation is shot. State premiers are running the show, and the PM is hiding behind the national, so-called, ‘cabinet’. The media is squeezing every bit of scaremongering it can out of the virus, with sessions and ‘spots’ dedicated to the China virus; someone comes in from overseas, tests positive (allegedly) and the first 10 minutes of the TV news is given over to it, along with anything they can find about cases and or deaths in Timbuktu.

Politicians either don’t know what they are doing or, they do know, and they are preparing us for the loss of more freedoms in the future. And, all the while, they are convincing poor, dumb fools that the are protecting them.

The sad part is that the fear mongering is working for them, with tinpot dictators like McGowan and Palaszcuk returned to power. Now the PM is aping them - he really wants to “help” us with vaccine ‘passports’.

‘Show us your papers’ will be heard in the streets - if we are still speaking English, that is.

Foxy,

A second opinion is always handy. There are eminent scientists, with actual qualifications and experience, who have very different views from Morrison's public servant "experts" whom, I understand are not virologists but are ... well, box wallahs, not good enough for private practice or research.

I don't understand why you ask questions of me when you know my answers will make no difference to what you think. And, I am not criticising your opinions: I'm criticising our appalling PM. I really don't see why you or anyone else needs to defend a politician.
