We’re told to buy painkillers so if we test positive to the virus we can treat it at home with Panadol.
At home. With Panadol.
So, the McGowan govt has banned compassionate re-entry to WA over something they’re recommending we treat with Panadol.
Sheesh.

Finally, politicians not delegating their responsibility to unelected niche bureaucrats.
About time.

BREAKING: I have confirmed Dr Chant did not endorse this new roadmap. The Chief Health Officer warned the new Premier these changes come with risk, but the decision was ultimately a matter for the government. A shift from Perrottet away from “the health advice.”

Australia gave these wonderful humans the most valuable gift: the opportunity to build a better life.
They arrived between 1954 and 1959 and chose to wholeheartedly embrace Australia and its culture and values.
And they never looked back.
Be proud.
Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺

No one opposes recognition.
The opposition is to a constitutionally enshrined Voice.
The bulk of the opposition would subside with a legislated Voice.
But you’re not interested in middle ground.
You made it all or nothing.

How much longer do Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to wait for recognition?
If not now, when?
We are so close.

We’ve all had our bad takes in this pandemic, but this takes the biscuit for me. There are actions that simply save lives; simple measures that are about protecting ourselves and others. Masks, ventilation, boosters, testing.

2600 contact tracers.
5m+ people in lockdown.
10 cases a day.
If a state govt can’t handle 10 per day, it’s an indictment on that govt and it’s processes.
Victorians have been screwed, their economy has been nuked, and Dan has no plan for recovery.

Daniel Andrews says a faster easing of Melbourne’s lockdown measures is ‘unlikely’, as US presidential debate is cancelled.

So
@DanielAndrewsMP
wants victorians to dob in people having visitors at home so the police can take action.
Is that the same action police took on protestors? Or do they save their heavy-handedness for families/friends getting together?
Socialist hell.
