2020 outbreak in Vic was a confusing, chaotic and scary time for us. All other states looked on with mixed responses. Seeing what is playing out now makes me realise what a monumental load the Vic Govt carried, for the benefit of the rest of Aus...without vaccines.
Anthony Albanese is 'vanilla' one of the voters says at the end of
#4corners
...welp...Vanilla sounds pretty great after the festering clotted rainbow of clusterfucks we have had to endure I think.
Like this tweet, if you disagree with Sam Maiden when she says "Even if people don't like Scott, they like Jenny"
Wtf even is that statement
@samanthamaiden

Dan Andrews got fucking rolled in 2020 for aged care deaths that were the Feds responsibility....without vaccines, yet here we are 31 of the 52 deaths in NSW today alone and Chant says 'yeah it's challenging'. Just fuck.
Reporter at a playground in Vic on ABC saying this is a 'confronting sight'. Wait till you go sit outside a Sydney hospital near the ambulance bay and see staff bringing x-ray machines out to the car park due to the overwhelmed system then. Cmon ABC, be better than this.
I just want to give a shout out to all of our foreign threats for only being scary at the exact same time as our Federal elections over the past 8 years or so. 😘
I hate when I accidentally wink on camera whilst being questioned about secrets and then have to deny that I'm winking after everyone has seen that I did in fact fucking wink.
I keep hearing people say McGowan has had two years to prepare his hospitals. Well, so has every other state and territory and look how that's going. To deliberately put your state into this mess would be madness when you have geography helping protect you from it.
Dan - The sky is blue
Gladys - Can I just say, no other state or country on this planet has recognised the colour of the sky as much as NSW. In fact, nobody has dealt with this level of blue sky before and I just want to thank everyone for the blue sky here in NSW.

I had the pleasure of following French politics and Macron last year due to my daughter living in France. Macron is not someone you wanna fuck with. Make sure the popcorn is hot, this will not go well for Morrison.
Morrison has now twisted himself into a political knot. Cant possibly defend his own anti-vax govt members now. If only we had a credible journalistic body to put that fire to his feet.
As Stan Grant always does, he took an audience member's question and ignored it, asked his own of Chris Bowen. Chis - yeah, thanks, Stan Ill answer Will's question. Had to do this twice.
About time someone called this out.
#qanda
Morrison mentioned free speech approximately 10 times this morning in his campaign spin. Not one so-called journalist asked him about nooses/hate speech/threats at the Melb protest...not one...over 10 opportunities, not one.
People have trolled me at times for pointing out Leigh Sales bias.. often saying she would have no control over the content. Welp, I invite any of those people to try to convince me of that after this week with Laura Tingle at the helm.
Laura Tingle allowed space for Julia Banks to tell her story. She barely said a word, because authentic journalists know when to stop speaking and let the story be told. That's merit, that's respect. Can the rest of the hacks barking every day please learn this.

My kiddo, when I dropped her at school today - puts her mask on, I look at her and tell her I love her, and she says, "I love you too, Mumma, I don't trust any of these fuckers"
lol, big love. ♥️
Can someone explain to me the obsession with no curfew? Genuinely. I don't understand. what would I be doing after 9pm and before 5am out of my home that makes this such an issue in lockdown? If you answer with anything to do with dictators and Kabul, you'll be blocked.
It's 1am and I'm laying here thinking...Hey
@ScottMorrisonMP
...you know who would like some personal responsibility in their lives and less Govt? Priya, Nades and their two beautiful girls. Talk about people having a gutful.
Journalist asked a seemingly genuine question to Gladys saying it must be tough to wake up to the news of 6 deaths overnight. She did not skip a beat to talk about vaccines and optimism. Doesn't answer because This. Is. Who. She. Is.
Lisa Millar, show me the page in the Doherty report where it says 80% - borders open? Guess if people repeat it enough it must be true 🙄

Joyce - 'do you just go up to families and say there's no more jobs?' Apparently, that's what you do...but only to those 40,000 working in Universities.

Perrottet quoting Voltaire, poorly I might add is peak shitfuckery. 36 people have died and he shrugs his shoulders giving statements about perfection being the enemy of the good. Gtfo.
Dutton is gonna have Boofhead shouted at him from cars, across the street and everywhere he goes from now until forever. Sue us all Boofhead, and sit down.
I emailed Julian Hill today, not only did he get back to me once, but twice, all on the same day. This matters. Feeling heard and feeling like we are worth investing in matters. Thanks,
@JulianHillMP
I cannot wait until we can vote out the LNP.
@ScottMorrisonMP
So how come you asked the Vic Govt yesterday to support his application? How come he had a Visa in the first place to be revoked?
Don't try to make yourself out to be a hero....again, it's embarrassing.
Pay attention to every politician, media personality and public figure who is justifying what is happening in Melbourne. The behaviour walked past isn't only behaviour accepted at this point, its behaviour encouraged.
Any criticism of Morrison tomorrow after Jenny goes on the Today show to talk about her issues with endometriosis (which Morrison is announcing funding for) will be met with gaslit outpours from crumb maidens and journos about attacking poor Jenny. Hold on to your hats.
Jeroen speaking about the humanity behind every case and number. It is not luck that we have the incredible team that we have in Vic. Absolutely nothing to do with luck. This team cares about everyone, even the people working hard against them, which says everything to me.
Sam Maiden says Anthony had no ambition because he chose to stay in one portfolio.
This is the problem. If people aren't seen to be climbing ladders, stepping on others and trying to outshine, they lack ambition.
Anthony has always understood it takes a team.
I'm really late to the party, but Anthony Albanese at NPC today was brilliant. Smart, open, solution focussed, humorous, empathetic and confident. No Govt is ever going to be perfect, but goodness it feels good to see someone like Anthony want to be a leader.
I don't follow PRGuy and don't have an opinion either way on the account, but let's think for a minute, what if Jeremy is a person who was anonymous for a reason? It's actually not a joke that wife bashers can force someone on Twitter to out themselves.
Dan Andrews is an incredible leader. Unfollow the fuck out of me if you disagree. I'm not interested in the politics of any bullshit agenda. Leadership is leadership. Rules of great leadership do not change because you don't like the consequences of it.
Sam - "Morrison isn't a misogynist, he just doesn't get women."
Ummm, people who don't 'get' women, don't get them because they're not interested enough, not engaged enough, don't prioritise them enough.
All aspects of misogyny....

We are getting a very acute taste of what the media will look like if Labor wins the election. This bullshit will not stop after the campaign.
#insiders
Some journo will be set up to ask Morrison about Grace over the next couple of days so he can paint himself as the humble victim/hero. It will probably be a female journo and he will be sickening in his response, as always.
Every time a woman is murdered by a man, we have to be told by the media what a good bloke he is or what his social/sport/career status is.
Stop it you perpetuating toxic fucks.
Just stop it.
Just had a quick look at a Fb poll by Sunrise...should RATs be free for all? 11,000 yes 715 no....even the Fb crowd are pissed at Morrison, and it's the Fb crowd who watch Sunrise...sooo he won't be happy.
Is Morrison seriously hoping to rip and burn Omicron through the country for the next 3 months before an election? He really doesn't know how science, the economy, grief, frustration, trust, confidence or peoples memories work does he.
So...Dom just said there is no track and trace and he is asking people to check in anyway because it instils confidence. So check in somewhere for no alert about covid, but yay confidence? Cooked.
Any parent of teenagers knows the frustration when you get home and the kitchen is trashed and they sit on the couch and say "but you didn't ask me to clean it". Every state leader is the parent of Scott Morrison.
Morrison acting like people are sitting in hours and hours-long testing lines for shits and giggles, not because they are symptomatic is gaslit shitfuckery of the highest order. This is how stupid he thinks we all are.
Hey, Jenny Morrison...Wanna know who loves manners, smiling politely and not speaking up about grievances or showing disdain? Perpetrators do. So well fucking done to you.
Fancy having to change actual fucking legislation in parliament to tell politicians they have to be transparent when trying to make themselves a dictator. What a legacy Morrison.
I don't believe for a minute that Tudge was not aware of his 'sacking' He's chosen to take the bullet with a cushy deal somewhere else. Morrison thinks this is redeeming, considered strong leadership when he would have known Tudge was cooked anyway. Hero narrative.
My Mum and I should be having exciting conversations about her retiring after 50 years as a nurse. Instead, she is working full time. Any nurse in Vic retired in the last 5 years being asked to come back. My Mum - why the hell would they come back to be spat on?
#MurdochRiots
Can you even imagine the level of bitterness you would have to possess to attempt to freeze the assets of a woman moving countries to create a more peaceful life for herself?
What a fucking disgrace.
George Christensen right now saying 'they aren't forced to go to these schools, there are other schools they can go to'
Yeah, so how is all your 'forced to get jabbed' rhetoric going?? Get in the fucking bin.
I spoke to my 23-year-old son last night about the Yarra Valley Grammar 'list'
This is how it went. 🧵
It was a bumpy ride, BUT this conversation can and possibly should be uncomfortable.
He started off by saying it was just fucking gross and frustrating, but he understood it.
We live in a country where the Fed Govt and 1 state are literally willing covid cases onto covid free states. What sort of fucking country do I live in where this is the plan.
Omg!!! Leigh Sales finally had a story tonight on Gladys, her lying, covering up the fact that she ignored health advice infecting and killing hundreds of Australians!
Just kidding. It's Leigh Sales lol

@maccas
my daughter works for you. Today at work, a colleague comes to work unwell, says he's a close contact, tells the manager. No requirement to wear a mask, not sent home and manager said 'it doesn't matter anymore'. Nice care and support for staff and community you have.
I have covid. 😢
Things I am thankful for though..
My daughter has been staying at her bf's and is negative
I'm triple vaxxed
I have people living close if I need anything
💜
Leigh Sales has found a new bizarre take for the LNP to spin. The Vax rate is faster than the Covid infection rate, therefore Vaccines are winning. lol what the actual fuck.

"There are 100s and 100s of pre-polling booths all over the country and not one of them has a poster of Scott Morrison put there by any Liberal candidate. That should tell us all something"

Dan - 'I'm grateful, I'm proud and I'm impressed'.
Emotional presser today. I love being a Victorian and Im proud of Dan, his family, our health team and our HCW's.
We are compassionate, we are determined. ❤️
So now Morrison thinks McGowan is the Labor benchmark....I thought he was the leader of the hermit kingdom? He really is shitting himself about Anthony, isn't he.
Morrison says Paul Kelly's advice for Intnl tourists is 'two doses is sufficient'...then wonders why many Aussies are hesitating to get their third dose. Gotta get that tourist money right? ffs
