To be fair to Red Dan though, as a socialist, his cup runneth over atm...after all, shutting down businesses and the economy, controlling the populace and restricting their freedom is what they relish and are pretty much born to do.. so he'd well & truly be in his element right now.. :shh

Would love to do a swap. Scotty from Marketing for Jacinda Ardern.

One quality makes Jacinda Ardern particularly effective in a crisis. It’s an ingredient Australia’s coronavirus responses has lacked.

Yeah and that great leader of the left Anthony Albanese is hitting it out of the ballpark atm. Labor is nowhere during this crisis
 Better to have someone like Morrison in charge. At least hes having a go at controlling the crisis
 Labor have exited stage left. No where to be seen when the heats on.

Whoopi he's having a go... please, need more than someone having a go

And clearly you are not watching news services, but anyways

And I know it will pain ,many but Dan Adnrews has been excellent through this crisis.

Actually I've changed my mind he has let himself down and is having a shocker.

He is all bark and no bite much like vicpol. Stands there talking about death then under his watch we saw lines and lines and Centrelink and swarms of people at stkilda. What a hyprocrite and a toothless tiger.

He stood there crapping on about Bondi then under his watch the same thing happened here. He is too reactive. He is now running a close second  in terms of having nfi with the Sydney premier. Both have had shockers this week.
Fancy still having our borders open and having folk get off planes and go play polo in Portsea. The best premiers imo at present is the wa one. Very quick and proactive.

Wage subsidy program pushes by the opposition and Unions

Greg Combat major architect.

What is most pleasing is the govt is working with all stakeholders including unions

Sally McManus has had a lot of input as well

ScoMo is facing a choice between saving lives and saving the economy.

Which one do you think he will choose?

Australia is about to face a cruel choice between protecting health and protecting the economy, with no way to dodge a decision.

National cabinet will consider modelling on Tuesday to guide the country to the endgame in suppressing COVID-19 without wrecking the economy.

With this being a Labor idea and the State Premiers making most of the decisions I wonder what ScoMo has actually done.


Wait maybe ScoMo with his marketing background actually thought of the names JobSeeker and JobKeeper.


Well done ScMo

He sure is. Leading by example. Tiger tragic/65 just cant see it, as he is still caught up in how they lost the last election.
