Australian Politics thread [merged]

[Rampsation]

My word what a mess this state has became, and it all started with the disgraceful soft messaging allowing those fools to protest, then of course the rorting of tax payer money.

According to some he has done a great job, though the silence tells a difference story

The current surge in COVID19 cases in Victoria is a direct result of the shoddy job the Federal Libs done in communicating to the ethnic and migrant populations. FACT

You need to stop using crack

Victoria has requested help from the Australian Army.

Interesting

The Federal Health Minister, CMO in Canberra disagrees with you but hey never let your bias get in the way of that 

Serious question for you, though your recent track record of answering questions posed to you means you will likely just bash the Premier

Knowing everything you know, everything we've been told about this virus now (although at the very beginning you said something along the lines it wasn't real)

If you tested positive to COVID19 would you go to work, head to the shops and / or go and visit say your parents or grand parents or stay home

I don't want hear about protests, bashing pollies, serious question what you do?

Answer honestly

The current surge in COVID19 cases in Victoria is a direct result of the shoddy job the Federal Libs done in communicating to the ethnic and migrant populations. FACT

Sorry that is a ridiculous statement. Is it a contributing factor perhaps?

But ultimately people (read the moron element) need to take responsibility for the idiotic, selfish behaviour.

People can point fingers at whoever they like because as is the norm these days things are always someone else's fault.

But people blatantly doing the wrong thing and hiding behind pathetic excuses of it's Andrews fault, ScoMo's fault is one almighty cop out.

The people to blame are those doing the wrong thing because they don't give a sh-t about anyone or anything but themselves

Source was a very connected source at one of the major hospitals in Melbourne dealing with this crisis.


Further evidence is how quickly the Liberals come out denying this all using the sme quotes.


Sometimes maybe you are not the font of all knowledge.

We have a big Sudan population. Do you know how many different dialects exist in Sudan?

One hundred and fourteen.

Scotty from Marketing and his team stuffed up again.

Our ethic and migrant population are not not idiotic.


How dare you generalise like that.

[WilliamPowell]

Sometimes maybe you are not the font of all knowledge.

Never said I was and neither are you

Suggest you quote your source if it is a media article

Why are you suddenly making this about race?

As most people know I am not a ScoMo fan. But this is not his or any government's stuff up... this the stuff up of selfish individuals who as I said don't think of anyone else but themselves and are clearly doing the wrong thing

But ultimately people (read the moron element) need to take responsibility for the idiotic, selfish behaviour.

Our ethic and migrant population are not not idiotic.

How dare you generalise like that.

What are you on about? I am never once single out any particular part of the population.

So how dare you insinuate otherwise.

It is you that has bought race and ethnicity into the discussion. Why?

I stand by my view that the people that are clearly doing the wrong thing and know that they are doing the wrong thing and have got us to this position are moronic and selfish. Their actions are indefensible.

And so you understand I am talking about the things we've heard in the last week around the spike in cases.

You know the ones

The Cases where we've been told people who have tested positive have gone to work and not stay home because they don't have sick leave.

Or the people infected who have gone, visited family and spread it.

Or the security guards at the hotels (hired by the hotels) that have not followed protocols. 

If you think these type actions are acceptable and can be excused under any guise just so you can take a swipe at a pollie you despise then that's your choice

But these actions are why we are we find ourselves today and I am for one are bloody angry about it

Words

[WilliamPowell]

Words

Another cop out

So are you now another poster who won't directly answer questions?

Says a lot

[1965]

More insults.

[WilliamPowell]

More insults.

What insults?

The only insult came from you  with your accusation of racism towards me.

Your standard response when someone challenges you is to post "Words" ... that is a cop out

How is making an observation about about your not wanting to answer questions directed at you an insult 

So that action for me does say alot. That's not an insult that's just an opinion

Coronavirus advice in Pacific Islander languages was published only four days ago, raising questions about government efforts to inform non-English speaking communities about the pandemic.


Members of Melbourne's Pacific Islander community, many of whom live in the council hotspot of Brimbank, have felt frustrated by the lack of information in native languages and have been requesting it for months.

Victoria's public health doorknockers arrived on the streets of Melbourne's COVID-19 hotspots on Wednesday, attempting to overcome barriers in communication with some communities.


Carrying basic illustrated guides on managing COVID-19, the pairs of doorknockers were also equipped with QR codes that, when scanned, bring up public health information translated into more than 50 languages – a nod to the Victorian health department's shift to focusing on multicultural and linguistically diverse communities

A couple of points.

1. I didn't make this about race and ethnicity, the government did (see last two posts)

2. I did quote my source (and it wasn't a media article)


3. I find your condescending attitude insulting.

Or the security guards at the hotels (hired by the hotels) that have not followed protocols.

1000 ADF personnel to help out in Victoria. Reports are suggesting that 850 of them will be replacing the security guards at the hotels.

3. I find your condescending attitude insulting.

Coming from the most condescending person on the forum, I found this fairly funny

Surely you weren’t being serious
