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 thereā€™s no Fed Govt Quarantine agency to protect us - huh?

2. We had an Australian Quarantine Service which looked after us in the Spanish Flu pandemic. It was abolished in 2012.

3. Quarantine duties for plant, animal & human health were ā€œabsorbed into divisions in the Dept of Agriculture & Water Resourcesā€, yet as this @KKeneally thread shows, Minister Littleproud DENIED any responsibility for human health.

1. Folks, Iā€™m at my new home, Elands on the Bulga Plateau north east of Taree in NSW. Today I joined other locals in the fight to save native forest adjacent to the national park devastated by Novemberā€™s fires and used by koalas and other fire survivors.
2. Locals in NSW are trying to preserve remnant habitat where they live for flora and fauna after Australia burned, because the NSW Govt wonā€™t.

Ours is Compartment 51 half an hour up the road from my new home. NSW wants to log Tallowwood, Brushbox & Blue Gum for floorboards.
3. Locals in Elands and Wingham (near the coast) gathered this morning at the bridge dividing the national park from State forest to locate scats and scratches so we know what native animals live there now the national park has burned.

3. #ScottyfromMarketing shut down the peopleā€™s voice - OUR Parliament - to take undemocratic advantage of #coronavirusworld.

New Zealand, yet again, shows us how a well-led Government in a democracy handles an existential threat.
