CV and mad panic behaviour

[flyboy77]

I tend to blame ScoMo more than Andrews, he pushed for a reopening due to the economic effects and Andrews was forced to comply after being the Jacinda Ardern of Australia and enforcing the tightest lockdown of all states.
Speaking of Ardern she nailed it with stage 4 from late March and NZ have had 17 days with no cases, its the only proven way with no vaccine and both Victoria and NSW need to adopt same for a couple of months at least.
We cant be opening, locking down, opening, locking down and repeating the cycle, we need to go hard now and the economy is going to have to get worse and yes we will pay for it later but thats the scenario IMO.

Can't agree EB. Dan had absolute discretion, his call.

He certainly is happy enough to ignore Scottie from Marketing on many other occasions?

Back to the hotel quarantine fiasco - and Dan's culpability.

There are some things a government (the authorities) can control, some things they can't.

For example, despite the road rules, the government can't stop a couple of young kids getting plastered then driving at crazy speeds, crashing and killing themselves and/or others.

But let's say there's a dam in regional Victoria which is showing signs that it might give way...and needs urgent repair/rectification.

The authorities are notified. They send a few crew out to have a look but essentially just dither around and do nothing.

The dam breaks suddenly a few weeks later after a heavy winter fall and hundreds are killed in a town downstream as a result of the 'flood' created by the destroyed dam wall.

Who has culpability?

The company that built the dam? Possibly.

The government? Definitely. Unquestionably.

And the bigger the f... up, the bigger the head or heads that should roll.

this f... up is as big as they get.

Enter Dopey Dan.
