Frankly,  idgaf which spelling,  it's a bit like gaol/jail to me  -  we all know what it means.
I thought the posters here were above semantics....

Covid 0 was the evil that had to be ended, pronto. No doubt the theory was that this would hasten re-opening. But it doesn't seem to have worked out that way, has it?

The irony is that we had a lot more freedom when he had Covid 0. And a well-vaccinated population would have made it a lot easier for contact tracers to maintain that long-term but inherently unstable solution.

Now, due to the behaviour of absolute ass-hats, we're facing lockdowns and restrictions stretching on ad nauseum. Because no Australian government will allow exponential growth of Covid, if only because the health system would collapse. 

Well, it's your pox party so you can cry if you want to, as the song says.

The man you blindly seem to support no matter what is the very same man with the blood of 700 plus lives lost last year due to his stubbornness on quarantine or maybe again it was the 1% of the population who broke the rules.

And maybe Dan simply did not recall any of his decisions when questioned.  :o  :-X

You know he is given advice to follow in accordance with public health orders, right?

Why are you so personally against him but don’t seem to have the same level of vitriol to Slowmo and his inept leadership and fellow MPs in Hunt Frydenburg Dutton and co? Is it just dyed in the wool Liberal ideologies across the board? Or has a state ALP directive personally effected you badly along the way? I am really curious.

I don’t follow Dan’s leadership blindly but i trust in the advice he’s been given plus I admire him following thru with what he’s said he’ll do - which is mostly and only needs to change due to the ever changing nature of a worldwide pandemic.

The only reason 95% survival rate has been achieved is there’s an bazillion people with underlying health conditions - which by the way include obesity, asthma, diabetes; Which many people have - that have had no choice but to have hidden themselves away from having a chance of catching it.

Feds were responsible for the 800 aged care deaths - they didn’t bother to take any learnings from the Newmarch deaths in NSW and left those poor people unprotected. In Viv State run homes the number was not many at all.

But hey for some Reason Slowmo seems to walk thru these conversations like a hero snd Dan is a dICtaTOR - it’s such a juvenile and incorrect response.
