As vocal as anyone in the first months of 2020, yet unseen in the middle part when someone else resulted in 800 deaths



You're  right, Morrison has a lot to answer for.

His pandemic response still ranks better than Italian, Belgium , UK, Sweden and a few more  though you wouldn’t know it. 


You are joking. Right?

I don’t joke during Australia Day celebrations.

If you delved deeper you would draw the same conclusion. I have some hope you still have it in you.

I’m not one of those drama queens who bought into the whole “we (Australia) could have ended up like NYC”  The don’s COVID response has been admirable to say the least .

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/nov/16/aged-care-residents-found-to-be-at-greater-risk-in-for-profit-homes-than-government-run-ones


The study comes after coronavirus killed almost 700 residents of aged care homes, which the royal commission has already found had not been sufficiently prepared for the pandemic by the federal government, which is responsible for regulating the sector.


In Victoria, which was hardest hit by the outbreak, more than 40% of deaths occurred in 10 homes, none of which were run by the state government.

So why no mass deaths in any of the other states? Is the Federal Government only responsible for the sector in Victoria? :shh

I still think Trump will end up living in Russia.


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book


Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian.

Possibly because victoria took people from other states into quarantine when their own states wouldn't.

Outbreak happened in Vic!

Trump has been acquitted at his 2nd impeachment trial

57 - 43

Under the constitution vote need to be 67 - 33 to impeach

So 7 Republicans did vote to impeach but not the remainder didn't

This means Trump can run for President again in 2024

Was always going to go that way.

Terrible president but the impeachment was ridiculous.
