Indy said, "give me a Catholic Premier any day...Catholics may be hypocrites" a little more than hypocrites. The Catholic Church in France has just admitted there were 3,000 paedophiles among their clergy, more like 10,000!

more like 10,000!
Paul1405,
Are you inferring the new Premier is a Priest ?

Even priests are human flawed beings like the rest
of us. However, the Church needs to deal much
better with the child sexual abuse within its ranks.
Denial and hiding things is no
answer. As for the NSW Premier? His religious beliefs
are his own business. He said that he intends to
govern for ALL the people in his state. We should give him
a chance to do so.

The new premier got off on the right foot when he lined up his ministers to advise the public of his Covid actions. When asked by a media scribbler where the Chief Health Officer was, he made it clear that he and his ministers make the decisions, not unelected public servants.

Excellent!

Political leaders in the past stupidly conferred sweeping powers on public health officials, thinking that the powers would never be used. Now, cowards that they are, they seem glad to have someone else to hide behind, even though it is they, not the unaccountable pen pushers who will be dumped if the public eventually wakes up to what an authoritarian country Australia really is.

I agree with David Leyonhjelm when he says, "The covid experience tells us that Australia is, below the surface, quite an authoritarian country".
