I’m HORRIFIED & GOBSMACKED with @GregHuntMP’s behaviour on @BreakfastNews just now. It’s disgusting. @mjrowland68 asked a very legitimate question about WHY Greg Hunt has put LIBERAL PARTY BRANDING in the announcements for the vaccine, when it is an AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT thing

(2) I was in the public service for YEARS, including working in government advertising. While the rules around advertising during a campaign preclude using political party promotion in government ads, I have never actually seen such blatant political opportunism from a government

(3) it’s is not the Liberal Party rolling out this vaccine, @GregHuntMP. It is the AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT. It is thousands of public service who do all of the hard work to make this happen while you take credit for the hard work of Australian Public Servants.

(4) @GregHuntMP HOW DARE YOU make vaccinations about the LIBERAL PARTY? Your party has fought and bullied state premiers every step of the way as your neoliberal policies tried to put profits over human lives. Your government faffed around getting the vaccine.

(5) @GregHuntMP your governments incompetence saw hundreds of infected passengers get off the Ruby Princess in the biggest super spreader event in Australia. Your government completely neglected the aged care sector and hundreds of our loved ones died.

(6) and @GregHuntMP YOUR government’s incompetence has seen that Australia is one of the LAST countries in the withdrawal to get the vaccine. HOW DARE you politicise this by putting Liberal Party branding on something you have no right to take credit for?

(7) @GregHuntMP the Australian Public Service is NOT the Liberal Party. @mjrowland68 was 100% correct to pull you up on politicising an Australian Government project. I’m absolutely disgusted at your ridiculous tantrum this morning. What you say is “left” politics is the centre.

(8) the Liberal# Party condones and normalises corruption, cruelty, incompetence and bigotry. @GregHuntMP YOU showed us morning that you support this culture. Unfortunately, your party sees human decency and morality as being “left”. The LNP is a disgrace and not fit to govern.
