COVID has caught most of the world off-guard.
No doubt Andrews et al screwed up on the hotel quarantine thing (NSW Gov was damn close with Ruby Princess....), but they're certainly not alone in COVID screw-ups across the globe.
But instead of swanning off with his fat-cat pollie pension like most would do, Andrews has fronted up to the media every single day since and stared the naysayers in the face. Whichever way you look at it, that shows some backbone, which is something sadly lacking in most of our 'leaders'.
If Andrews had gone (like many suggested) when it went pear-shaped, I have no doubt we would be royally f***ed by now.
Let's deal with the problem at hand, and worry about the fallout later.
Do you see the opposition? how about Tim Smith, he seems like a real go getting winner/f*ckwit.
So who else with the Labor party then? or the Greens? Maybe an independent?
The calling of the resignation/sacking/voting out of Andrews to me is a very emotional response at a situation where you want to apportion blame. It could happen anywhere and it has overseas.
Put aside use of security guards - every hotel quarantine has done the same. I would like to know why it took so long to work out how far the spread got without it being detected until it had gone too far. Is it Andrews' fault that a dept/depts in his ministry f*cked up with that? Should he be asking that question x daily 'have you made sure you're contact tracing correctly?' People/positions/depts are definitely accountable for that, but it's simplistic to go to the top to direct the blame; because let's face it, you most likely didn't think much of Dan anyway.
If that's the case, can we expect the resignation of Gladys for the Ruby Princess farce or Scumo for the Aged Care deaths - when the Feds were told in March how to safeguard aged care after the initial outbreak in the NSW aged care centre? to which, they did absolutely zero?
