  The increase in Covid and the tidal wave of Omicron has Morrison (Medicare) cut tele-health and force the sick, elderly and others into face to face consultations with their doctors and medical staff in surgeries. Now, that's a sensible policy isn't it.  Another reason it's time for a change.

 The LNP sponsors are being allowed to sell this medication. I wonder how Harvey Norman would feel if pharmacies started selling fridges. #justanotherdayattheoffice for the LNP.

Separation of Powers yet the LNP enables Church organizations to discriminate whenever and wherever they want according to their beliefs it would seem. Morrison appears to tolerate forms of Christian Science no matter how irrational. In this case the right not to get severe Covid.

It's time for a change.

Lainie Chait is seeking damages for unfair dismissal after she was allegedly sacked by the Newcastle-based Church of Ubuntu for getting a COVID-19 vaccination.
