IT'S LABOUR DAY
Tony Abbott attacks Andrews in call for end to restrictions
The former PM took a swipe over stage four restrictions, saying the Premier was conducting a health dictatorship.
Of course, god will take care of the rest. Individual decisions weren't given to HIV sufferers. We have hospitals isolating people with infectious diseases but Abbott is quite happy to allow super spreaders the freedom to share.
" Abbott said it was not clear that draconian measures were effective in
health terms and were destroying the economy and people's wellbeing
under one-size-fits-all orders from "unaccountable experts".
It's as if China hasn't proved to the world the most effective means of stopping the spread of the virus and turning the economy around at the same time. It's up 3-5%. Sweden certainly hasn't demonstrated that at -7% and 6000 deaths. Which is a greater fall to their economy than either Norway or Denmark with only 600 and 250 deaths.
How is it these people with big mouths freely advocate opinions without a grip on the facts? Was Abbott given voice by Murdoch media? We should drop the bans because "I Tony Abbott don't know and it seems a better political option" is hardly a rational risk for the common good of the wider community. Besides, the polls indicate they don't support Abbott at all who prefers to remain in opposition from a distance.
The reality is that the workforce is more productive than Abbott lets on. That NSW hasn't won anything to date and Victoria's problem was one foisted on it by an LNP government that failed to regulate or fund a but prefered a self-regulated aged-care system. The virus the deaths and the spread didn't occur in state-managed centres. So comparatively Andrews ran a better operation than Abbott's Government did and is still doing so.
Appearing later before the Commons' Foreign Affairs Committee,
Stewart McDonald, an MP with the Scottish National Party questioned Mr
Abbott about his use of the phrase "health dictatorship", a term also
used by the QAnon, far-right online conspiracy group.
Mr
Abbott said he was not aware of QAnon and used the reference to
describe the "very draconian restrictions" imposed in Victoria.
"To
save lives presumably?" McDonald said. "For our own good in the
judgement of Victorian Premier and the Victorian government."World

The US President also launched into a tale of a plane that allegedly flew to Washington loaded with 'thugs'.

FAKE NEWS
MEDIA ATTACK ON TRUMP MEANS THEY KNOW BIDEN IS GOING GA GA
There is only one reason that CNN and the Drudge Report
(which these days looks it's been bought by Trump-deranged MSNBC) are
hyperventilating about a Trump visit to hospital last November. It's
that they are trying to deflect from a story they know is more real:
that Joe Biden looks like he's going senile.
PETER FITZSIMONS IS A LIAR OR GROSSLY IGNORANT
Sydney Morning Herald columnist Peter Fitzsimons writes a
blatant and obvious falsehood: "When the likes of columnist Andrew Bolt,
for example, suggested that the way forward was to move on from
lockdown and simply accept that we will lose some older Australians
along the way, the PM cut loose." Has he no shame?
