Morrison Reminds Australian Olympic Athletes That It’s Not A Race

 

 An absolute disgrace Morrison is leading like he's Trump simply saying "others are to blame".  Believing saying it often enough that Australian's are dumb enough to believe him. However we aren't and he's sliding in the polls.

Morrison’s outsourcing generals to blame moving forward while currently blaming everyone he can for Australia being last among the wealthiest of the world's nations and not even among top 100 in vaccinating its citizens. He’s certainly proved he’s never “held the hose” on fires, the pandemic, or anything when leadership has been required, only spin. He has however been  Australia’s No 1 tourist as PM rather than its manager. Proof; he has been sacked from even that role in more than one country.

In an interview with 2GB Radio on Wednesday, the prime minister said “very cautious” decisions by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisations (Atagi) had slowed the rollout “considerably” and “put us behind”.

Reality Check:

The Bulletin

" Atagi’s co-chair, professor Allen Cheng, pushed back by noting in comments to Guardian Australia that its role is to provide advice, but the federal government remains responsible for making decisions and the vaccination rollout."

"In April Atagi advised people under 50 to get Pfizer vaccines, as the risk of complications from blood clots from AstraZeneca was greater than the risk of Covid-19 for that group.

In June, Atagi broadened the warning, advising people under 59 that AstraZeneca was not recommended."

 In Morrison’s own presser on the 28th June 2021, "

Prime Minister: Well, if they wish to go and speak to their doctor and have access to the AstraZeneca vaccine, they can do so.

Journalist: Any age group?

Prime Minister: So, the answer is yes, they can go and do that.”

 ATAGI themselves had NOT given this advice to him either. Morrison as he so often does, just created his own fantasy !

 

And for one final lie, Morrison claimed the following:

“Morrison said Sydney was going through a “tough time” with its Delta strain lockdown, but boasted that Australia’s Covid response had “saved over 30,000 lives” and the rollout is now administering 1m doses per week.”

Where did that number of lives come from and who really saved them? It was NOT you Morrison – it was the States and frontline workers ! And for the record, 1M doses per week has yet to be reached! Here are the last few weeks’ real doses:

Money for nothing, debts for free: the RBA, the banks and a negative interest rates warning

As NSW plunges back into lockdown, the banks have been warned to prepare for negative interest rates. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank has quietly conceded the banks have not lent the $188 billion pandemic stimulus, parking it in their $314b war-chest at the central bank earning no interest.

The Billionaire Space Race Is the Ultimate Symbol of Capitalist Decadence

Billionaires like Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk are parasites, worse than socially useless. But they’ve got to justify their existence somehow, so, like five-year-olds, they’re now pretending to be astronauts.
