see how the fatally catastrophic failures of the Berejiklian government, borne by people in low income areas, are reported as facts about “the health system”; while her promises of privileges for privileged people are framed as her [future] achievements. It is quite something.

and the Berejiklian policy of privileges for privileged people are contingent on the Morrison government, having royally screwed up vaccination procurement, prioritising vaccine dose distribution in NSW. Sydney Liberals mate. I am telling you. They are the most disgusting people.

her ideological fellow travellers in the press are terrified that consequences of her nasty partisan decisions might actually reach their suburbs, their families. So we get these normalising narratives, like triage is happening in some other country.

you and I subsidise stratospheric school fees for wealthy parents while she weaponises frontline teen workers in heavily policed LGAs as cover for her elitist political priorities of delivering vaccines and dining out and overseas holidays to the Liberal Party base.

every day she promises to infect every state and territory; she hoards vaccine doses for her constituents; blames the people who keep this city running for what she has caused, which is the NSW health system to be overwhelmed; and wraps it all up in Liberal Party “freedom” comms.

it is grotesque. How anyone can choose to polish this catastrophic shitshow into phoney factual framing is beyond my comprehension.

ps politicians are responsible for their decisions and media outlets are responsible for their decisions. Only Coalition politicians and their corporate media backers can execute abuses of power on this scale. Not individual voters. The political class.

listen. And Berejiklian government ministers are all over media today, promoting their desire for massive public spending on state surveillance infrastructure to bring on privileges for the privileged and boost private profits for their client donors.

the absolute moral bankruptcy of this vicious and corrupt regime.
