three months ago, with delta at 1K+/day, Berejiklian constantly bleating about double dose privileges and heavily policing west and south west Sydney… back then. NSW Health did the contact tracing, delivered a thermometer and oxymeter to your door, and called every day.

for the record, I am not even slightly surprised that male Liberal politician-led governments have abandoned basic public health settings. They may be surprised when their callous disregard hits them where it hurts. In their political careers. After the damage is done. As ever.
we didn’t tell people when my son got it. We just isolated and covid safed the home. Masks inside. Gloves for kitchen stuff. Threw out all the toothbrushes and bits of soap. Towels and tea towels etc on high wash rotation. Sanitiser and wipes next to all the door handles.
And. NSW Health rang every day. Took his vitals - thermometer and oxymeter reading - and periodically checked with me (as a householder) that he was eating because he lost all sense of taste and smell (me: lol I am his mum yes I can ensure he eats been doing that for a while).
anyway. I am just sharing this experience from October because we got pinged as close contacts on Boxing Day and spent four days in plagueney trying to get tested and many rellos had a much more stressful time given what an Omnishambolic clusterfuck has unfolded since.
after not catching it as a double vaxxed householder caring for a person with delta - when the NSW government narrative was have a bigger house and smaller household losers - while casual workers like my son got the disease - all this looks a lot different from 3 months ago.
do you know someone who has or had covid? Why yes, yes I do. And now people in Lindfield or wherever also know someone who has covid and suddenly that Liberal Party ideology is looking extremely fucked up amirite.
on his birthday. After completing his HSC in the haze of the longest burning fire (Gospers Mountain) in the worst bushfire season this country has ever seen, he kept working and making music and loving his family and got a delta positive on his actual 20th birthday.
I may have mentioned this before. We need to build a better world for our kids.
the federal Liberals are basically all Gen X white males - Morrison, Dutton, Hunt, Frydenberg, Birmingham, Tehan and the gang - then look at the fact NSW is run by a male Liberal millennial and keep pretending progress is a factor of “time” lmao no it isn’t.
change requires effort. If we do not mobilise the next generation of Liberal Party politicians - the Amanda Stokers and Dominic Perrottets and Barclay McGains - just stroll on in the same way as Abbott and Hockey, Turnbull and Morrison, Dutton and insufferable Alex Hawke.
who are all, to a man and woman, fucking terrible people. Happy new year✌🏼🎶💕
