#FactCheck #AusVotes2022

Scott Morrison & Josh Frydenberg have consistently lied during the campaign saying #ElectrictyPrices are going down. A blatant LIE.

#auspol #KooyongVotes #CostsOfLiving #abc730 #FactCheck These are the OUTDATED sources which Scott Morrison & Josh Frydenberg might be using to falsely claim prices are reducing. Both incorrectly show wholesale prices decreasing. Clearly WRONG. #ausvotes #auspol @ABCFactCheck

@ArthurRorris @edhusic @KKeneally @AdamBandt @WilkieMP @zalisteggall @adamkams @Sydney_Uni @jason_om @abc730 23 Apr: #RubyPrincess leaves AUS today - with captain and few hundred crew.

NSW Special Inquiry continues. No show by ship captain - sends hotel manager.

‘we do planning exercises all the time’ & ‘those [drills a decade ago] were 'very massive exercises'

@ArthurRorris @edhusic @KKeneally @AdamBandt @WilkieMP @zalisteggall #RubyPrincess crew (~1000) wait for approval to *fly* home.

Interesting who’s in charge of what:
‘NSW Health..advising Australian Border Force and NSW Police on..the crew, but..to disembark.."they need the approval of the NSW Police Commissioner"
t.ly/l7B1 @ArthurRorris @edhusic @KKeneally @AdamBandt @WilkieMP @zalisteggall BREAKING: Last AUS pandemic drill was in 2008.

Since then WHO declared 5 global health public emergencies:
Swine flu, 2009
Polio, 2014 
Zika, 2016
Ebola, 2014 & 2019

“some of these errors [eg. #RubyPrincess] may not have occurred." @adamkams @Sydney_Uni t.ly/9857

'The example of the Ruby Princess — where a decision to let 2,700 people disembark from the ship in Sydney two weeks ago, despite cases of COVID-19 on board, led to almost 200 cases *across the country* — is considered a textbook example of how not to handle this situation.’ 15 Mar: AUS orders all arrivals to self-isolate

19 Mar: #RubyPrincess docks in Sydney - 2700 passengers disembark

20 Mar: AUS PM advises: “the risk of being on a plane is very low, it is very low.”

27 Mar: AUS orders 'mandatory self-isolation before...return to their home.'
