CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

100%, go back and check all my posts, I have maintained all along this aint about which team you follow. All I am asking for is accountability and consequences for those who f-ed up.

Yep, and apart from a few of us I think the consensus is that this stuff up was something of a team effort!

C-19 exposed so many cracks, mm, nuh, canyons in our systems and our unpreparedness for a pandemic... despite warnings from medical folks for, literally, decades.

For mine, in a nutshell, this 'self-regulation' concept needs an overhaul and with, ultimately, accountability to govt.

Live animal/wild animal markets + poor regulation (in any country) + poor health management in general in poorer countries/regions + poor intergovernmental communication/lines of accountability (fed and state) + poorly trained private security companies + slow reaction time to 2nd outbreak + pathetic, even embarrassing aged care standards / accountability = disaster waiting to happen.

In the first lockdowns I thought all states and the feds were on the same page and we, along with NZ, led the world... bloody ripper response.

But, holy cr@p, the 2nd wave in Melbourne revealed the squabbles, politicking, blatant incompetence and buck-passing.

The feds have got to overhaul aged care and get fair dinkum about it. These folks deserve quality of life and all that entails, not kept alive on the basics until they kark it.

Dan reckons the buck stops with him, and he has acknowledged and apologized for the monumental c0ckups in Melbourne. One minister fell on her sword... but it cannot ALL be her fault, nah, not buying it. There are some senior public servants who are also accountable but they're hiding behind the scapegoat's resignation (Health Minister).

There needs to be a Royal Commission into the Vic pandemic response failures, with more heads to roll - no more scapegoats to relieve the pressure/hide behind, and some weak as p1ss people are hiding behind her resignation... as you say, GTC, accountability across the board.

As for Dan, well, there are some leaders who would take responsibility -- which he says he does -- but then they would do the honourable thing and resign, as well. BUT... look at the drongos (on both sides) who would step into the State Premiership. Dan might be the best of a pretty p1ss poor bunch... hopefully there's a potential leader here in Victorian politics that we don't know about yet. If so, I hope he/she comes forward... soon!
