“convenience purposes, casual purposes, peace of mind purposes” - Morrison is still accusing us of wanting to test for the hell of it.
omicron is pushing that curve up, says Morrison, hunching his shoulders and using both arms to weirdly simulate an exponential curve.

Old enough to remember when delta was blamed for his government making really shit spending decisions.
he keeps saying 10 million RATs supplied to “point of care” testing clinics. That is fewer than one for every two people, at places which have largely been closed, shut down, or do not exist.
no roadmap - he said that about delta. Omicron changes everything - they all said that about delta too. Epidermatologist. Drink.

unions “can put in place” the protections “we need”. Casual workers can not.
PRIORITISE CASUAL WORKERS.
omg fuck me I can not describe how bad casual conditions are and how much worse it has got. Being casual is eleventy times more fucked up now than it was five, ten, twenty years ago.

we pay Scott Morrison $550K a year to watch him learn the limits of “because I said so”, which has never worked, as a way to manage human beings.
how many parents learn this the hard way. How many bosses. But we still are forced to stand by while Scott fucking Morrison works out the most basic lesson known to man - yes, man - in real time.
just speaking for myself here… I learnt that “because I said so” does not work when my oldest child was oh idk around four years old? He turns 30 this year.

the Japanese prime minister has cancelled a trip to Australia? Morrison says it is because they are dealing with the “exact same challenges” we are, a lie.
They do not have a terminally lazy leader who has chosen to prioritise pandemic politics for two years.
btw ABC News24 billed this presser as an announcement about a tennis player and his invalid visa.
his children have access to the best vaccine program in the world so getting kids back to school.

ya fave Samantha Maiden, who knows he announced publicly funded RATs at “point of care” - the old “testing clinics” - for the ranks of non-unemployed yesterday. Image
presumably she also understands the publicly funded RATs handed out to Morrison, his ministers, and their staffers are not limited to fewer than one per week.
and the idea that lazy slob earns his massive salary is obnoxious. He is paid $550K every year. He does not “earn” a single dollar.

the political economy of Morrison’s decision to enable price gouging and deny RATs to everyone who cannot afford $10 or $20 or $50 per test.

thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2022/0…
it is the usual combination. Liberal Party political decisions enrich client donors and the shareholder base, people who want for nothing plus breathtakingly wasteful use of public cash, costing far more than every other option, making poor people sick and rich people richer.
as well as the eyewateringly wasteful spending of public money, there is of course the bone idle laziness, hopeless incompetence, and stubborn refusal to lift a finger for anyone outside the Coalition class.

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.
