@Peter_Fitz He sniped at Victoria whenever he could. He has given extra vaccines to NSW. His Government refused to give us support during lockdown and despite eventually caving, he increased the support when NSW went into lockdown. 1/2
@Peter_Fitz He lied about the ADF, which resulted in a partisan media campaign and last year's 2nd wave was a result of his refusal to set up purpose-built quarantine. His Government had no plan for aged care which led to 600+ deaths. 2/3
@Peter_Fitz As PM he said nothing when the media embarked on a security guard witch hunt, despite knowing that other states had used private security also, including the same company that Vic used. 3/4
Frydenberg on Morrison's orders constantly attacked Victoria last year and undermined our health restrictions.
He has failed to take any responsibility for what went wrong in Victoria's 2nd wave despite most of it actually being his fault. 4/5
@Peter_Fitz Morrison has been anti-lockdown and pro-let it rip, purely for the purpose of economics and politics.
This forced and allowed @GladysB to take a soft approach on lockdowns, as a result, Victoria is now in lockdown again and Morrison's role in that cannot be understated. 5/5
@Peter_Fitz@GladysB "Gladys Berejiklian is the gold standard"
"NSW contact tracing is the gold standard"
We had that shoved down our throats by Morrison, Frydenberg and the media all of last year and part of this year. It was a lie the whole time and no apology or acknowledgment.

The Age never praised the outcome. It's disingenuous and plain rude to write this paragraph now and admit that the lockdown last year paid off when The Age was critical of Daniel Andrews the entire time and made last year all that more difficult for all of us.
This was always the path to freedom. Not mentioning the botched vaccine rollout in this article proves @theage's bias. For The Age, the reason that we are still fighting COVID (botched vaccine rollout) doesn't matter because it gives them a chance to attack Dan Andrews.
If you're actually interested in educating yourself on this particular aspect of the Coate Report Senator Henderson, you can read section 9.5 Causation at law. #auspol#CoateReport
The Coate Report was primarily focused on Hotel Quarantine and didn't particularly go into matters of Aged Care.
The term 'Aged Care' is only mentioned 9 times in the report.
The Aged Care Royal Commission revealed that the Federal Government did not have a plan for Aged Care.
The Aged Care Deaths were all in federally regulated and funded private aged care facilities NOT in state-run facilities, I think that makes the blame obvious @SenSHenderson.
This article from @jamesmassola is absolute nonsense.
Apparently, Morrison is cool because he plays Pool with his Junior ministers and Albo isn't cool... because... well... Murdoch and Costello said he isn't.
Almost the entire first half of this article (about @AlboMP) is actually about Scott Morrison and how great he is.
The bar for greatness is low though - all you have to do is play Pool, have the media on your side and refuse to act on rape allegations, vaccines and quarantine.
So what you're saying @jamesmassola is that The Liberal Party have had leadership issues? Massive ones. 3 different Prime Ministers via spills - yet the media has not criticised them for it, despite hounding Labor for this before Abbott was elected.
In this article, @rachelbaxendale uses photos obtained via unauthorised access to a fenced-off area so she can write a negative story on Hotel Quarantine.
I've spoken with a source from HQ to get the truth!
Technically this is true. However, the full truth is that the bins are stored in a fenced-off area of the car park that is owned by the hotel. They are not in a section of the car park that is shared with residents, the material is stored in a separated, fenced-off section.
The article looks at the strictness of lockdown measures across all countries via the Oxford COVID19 Government response tracker. Lockdown is measured via 9 ordinal scales with flags on those scales also. This is then calculated into a score out of 100.
The article correctly states that Australia reached a max total of 78 (78.24 to be precise) in February this year.
With 30 countries scoring higher than 95, clearly, Australia (and Vic) did not have the toughest lockdown, making this article rather pointless but whatever...
