They promised us they would be responsible regarding C19 hospitalisations & deaths.
W/out public reporting this can’t be assessed and is an affront to democracy, as was the initial decision to open up Australia without a public referendum on the introduction of disease. #auspol
There wasn’t even a debate on it…
No costs calculated and presented to the public.

No plan to maintain accessibility for those at increased risk.
Undemocratic and unsafe.
Hold them to account.
