i think what gets lost in a lot of the East Coast media's discussion of WA's COVID approach is how bad/fragile WA's medical infrastructure is after the Barnett Government bungled it via a series of very public rorts ambulance ramping is so bad in WA rn, our hospitals are incredibly short on beds, and the constant brain drain has left a lot of facilities short staffed--never mind the sectors dependance on foreign workers to make the hospitals run, so to speak

ok, I found most the reporting on the 'post a pet plant a tree' story incredibly shallow/lazy, so I went on a bit of a deep dive, and boy is the truth as dumb, wacky, a pathetic as you'd expect. Follow a long if you want! this is happening live on my insta stories rn. same handle as here. will transfer the posts here once I'm done!
