I know for as fact that so many Western Australians discussed #walabor & @MarkMcGowan`s response to #Covid19WA with their neighbours, workplace colleagues
I also know as fact that most of the speak was about how the @LiberalsWA tried to undermine McGowans #covid19 response

What came up with the far greater majority of people of all political persuasion was how federal @LiberalAus had demeaned all States {except NSW} handling of #covid19Australia

was the final nail in the LNP/PHON coffin

The names Morrison/Porter & Palmer had reached pariah level in WA long before the election #WAVotes2021
The Qld election #QldVotes2020 also showed a similar disdain for the LNP &PHON that @QLDLabor gained 4 seats increasing their

IDK how many feel as I do that the Morrison lead government will not bring out #Budget2021
For all thinking people it appears the we are now in an undeclared Federal election campaign
The impact of the Opposition`s attack on all of Morrison`s failures

has finally cut through
Media cannot find positives to promote this LNP government any further
A further eroding of the Democratic process in shutting down debate in #HoR question time cannot be defended by the #MSM, nor can it be glossed over

Also, the impact of the new US Biden admin with it`s #NetZeroBy2050 & return to the #ParisAgreement will see Morrison not only further sidelined by global powers it will see him totally isolated in #ClimateChangeDenialism

Hey @David_Speers

I hear you've come down with an bad case of selective amnesia, for some reason you seem to think @ScottMorrisonMP has had a 'good' year?

I've created a brief reminder of Morrison's 2020 Fuck-Ups in an Advent Calendar just for you

Day 1: January

Morrison sparks protests calling for his sacking around Australia. Angry Australians are not happy with him going to Hawaii while Australia burned.

Remember you called it a 'misstep' Dave?

Morrison visits Cobargo

Day 2: February

Bridget McKenzie resigns after weeks of Morrison defending her, the #Sportsrorts scandal is traced all the way back to the Prime Minister's office.

Another day, another @DanielAndrewsMP attack article. With the attacks on Hotel Quarantine only growing Dan's popularity, it seems #MSM is trying a new approach. A thread ⬇️⬇️#auspol #springst #ThisIsNotJournalism

theage.com.au/national/victo…
Before I get started on the above article, I'd like to point out two things. One, @Melbchief has written a bunch of articles attacking Dan Andrews during COVID. Two, he wrote this article that suggests the ADF was on offer. We know different now. #auspol

theage.com.au/national/victo…
So, @Melbchief will you correct this article and point that that.
1) Other states used Security Guards.
2) The ADF was NEVER on offer to run / provide security?

Listening to @abcnews I am amazed at the lengths they go to ‘describe’ the supposed adverse impacts of the lockdown in Victoria; from individual business to the how tough it’s been for kids unable to go to ‘childcare’ without reference to the number of lives saved; long term
Impact on lifelong health of contracting and surviving #CoVid19 Some may be surprised to learn that many kids never get to go to childcare, or access to early childhood education; get home schooled or distance education for all sorts of reasons. Some kids miss years of school
Have escaped war inflicted on them by so called ‘civilised’ nations and on escaping and arriving by boat in those so called civilised western countries are locked up in gulags; meanwhile in an alternative universe the appalling adverse impact of cutting Jobseeker and the hounding

What was that to do with, the Ruby Princess debacle?

No. This happened in Victoria and affected an entire state, creating thousands of cases and killing more people.

The Ruby Princess affected only a smaller number of people and was kept under control by comparison. Image
Victoria - Quarantine hotel fiasco vs Ruby Princess.

One seeded 17,027 confirmed cases in Victoria vs NSW #RubyPrincess which had 342 cases.

There is no comparison. Image
👇👇leftards clearly cant draw conclusions from case data - 17k vs 342 cases.

The #rubyprincess is their only piece of information they keep magnifying (like they do trying to spin something from nothing usually) as if it's a bit of paper they'll wave in your face. #slapback Image

@MargaretSimons @theage Margaret you make very good points and your reporting on the tower lockdowns was truthful and unbiased.
But why many of are mad as hell is because we have seen the destruction and bullying of pollies and former PM Gillard who faced years of relentless smear campaigns etc
@MargaretSimons @theage Yet when Abbott got in he was allowed to get away with numerous scandals, rorts and incompetence without scrutiny. Credlin the mastermind behind the Great Big Tax admitted later that it was propaganda. This is why mining/oil vested interests are wrecking our farms and environment
@MargaretSimons @theage Turnbull wrecked Australia’s NBN leaving us a third world country with slow speeds and hobbled our IT and tech sector. They wrecked Labor’s good NBN policy because of partisan politics. Almost no media scrutiny, no hard questions of LNP. A huge opportunity for Aus squandered

1. OK, Govts have known for a long time that a pandemic was inevitable and Bill Gates warned hard in 2015. Yet it seems as though there’s no Fed Govt Quarantine agency to protect us - huh?
cnbc.com/2020/04/16/bil…
2. We had an Australian Quarantine Service which looked after us in the Spanish Flu pandemic. It was abolished in 2012.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia… Image
3. Quarantine duties for plant, animal & human health were “absorbed into divisions in the Dept of Agriculture & Water Resources”, yet as this @KKeneally thread shows, Minister Littleproud DENIED any responsibility for human health.

#abc730 reveals a new twist in the tale of the #RubyPrincess. A senior @AusBorderForce officer misinterpreted a key document, thinking isolated passengers had been cleared of #COVID19 when in fact they had only been cleared of the common flu. @andrewprobyn #auspol
In its submission to the Special Inquiry, the federal government concedes “pratique” - the formal approval to disembark - was never formally granted. But it was in practice because officers let passengers off the ship. #abc730 #RubyPrincess @AusBorderForce #auspol
"3,000 people got off that ship into the public and just passed it around everywhere. No, we should not have been allowed off," says #RubyPrincess passenger Bill Beerens, who contracted #COVID19 on the ship. #abc730 @AusBorderForce #auspol

The disastrous impact of the Ruby Princess cruise ship fiasco is well known. Almost two dozen passengers have died and hundreds more have been infected. More than 200 crew also contracted the virus. Tonight two former crew members speak out about their ordeal. #abc730 @jason_om
The so-called “sail away party” is normally reserved for passengers, but on this day it was the Ruby Princess crew’s chance to celebrate. #abc730 #coronavirus
“When we left on the 19th of March as far as we were aware we were a healthy ship.” – Ruby Princess crew member Chris Harris. #abc730 #coronavirus

@ArthurRorris @edhusic @KKeneally @AdamBandt @WilkieMP @zalisteggall #RubyPrincess crew (~1000) wait for approval to *fly* home.

Interesting who’s in charge of what:
‘NSW Health..advising Australian Border Force and NSW Police on..the crew, but..to disembark.."they need the approval of the NSW Police Commissioner"

@ArthurRorris @edhusic @KKeneally @AdamBandt @WilkieMP @zalisteggall BREAKING: Last AUS pandemic drill was in 2008.

Since then WHO declared 5 global health public emergencies:
Swine flu, 2009
Polio, 2014 
Zika, 2016
Ebola, 2014 & 2019

When the history of Australia's experience during the #coronavirus pandemic is written, one thing will stand out in the early period - the #RubyPrincess and the major role it played in spreading the infection here. #abc730 @jason_om @aljmcdonald
Graeme Lake’s wife Karla died of #coronavirus after being a passenger on the #RubyPrincess. “This cruise has ruined us. Ruined us completely. It broke me. She went on her cruise for her birthday, so it’s really really devastating. I'm even now still struggling.” #abc730 #COVID19
NSW Health carried out tests before the #RubyPrincess left Sydney on 8 March. “I really would like to know, did we go on to a dirty ship?” Mary Beerens, who has #COVID19 and was a passenger on the cruise ship. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia

215 passengers from the #RubyPrincess #cruiseship have now tested positive for #coronavirus, with two deaths. @FarrellPF and @aljmcdonald look at how far the virus has spread from the ship and talk to some of the passengers. #abc730 #COVID19Aus abc.net.au/news/2020-03-3…
“I felt nauseous a few times on and off and had a few temperatures. I am an asthmatic and I have a lung problem … And then the next day got the results to say I was positive.” - June Hardimon, #RubyPrincess passenger. #abc730 #coronavirus #COVID19Aus
The day before the #RubyPrincess docked, June Hardimon’s daughter received an email from the ship saying: “Ship full of healthy guests and crew. There are no #coronavirus cases onboard.” #abc730 #COVID19Aus
