Who would you vote for in a State Election if held this weekend 28/09

In my view if you want to call Dan something it's Dumbass Dan. Delusional maybe.

My main frustration here is that this criticism involves ZERO convenient hindsight. I was saying for weeks the hotel quarantine was a crazy idea full stop. You only had to see the daily covid cases - sometimes 11 in one day and 10 of them were in hotel quarantine. Why???? Why were we letting those sorts of numbers back in and why bring them on a bus to the most heavily populated part of the state to quarantine - and pay for it?? We should have set up some portables in the middle of paddocks in Puckapunyal and had the ADF patrolling. When devastation of the entire state is at risk that is what should have been happening and I was saying it for weeks - right up until we hit 700 cases per day.

What did Dan do? He had guys who mind a turnstile at Marvel Stadium sharing lifts with returned travellers then going home to large family gatherings/prayer groups. To say it was madness doesn't do it justice. It is unconscionable, it cost lives and livelihoods on a scale beyond any other stuff-up in the history of the country.

Those who question the arsonist analogy are probably right. He's more akin to a guy on a day of total fire ban that decides today's the day I'm going test my homemade fireworks... then shows up to try put the fire out and play the hero.

I think you missed the point of me asking that question.  This isnt about absolving Dan's decision making in hindsight, or stating he didnt know any different.

My main frustration is that people keep talking like they know that things would be better or different had the ADF been involved, but there is a simple reality being missed about this.  Imagine someone being described as a despot basically enforcing martial law for returned travellers.

How do you think he would be viewed?

Let alone take them to remote areas for quarantine.

Amazing stuff.  These people have rights they arent cattle to be put in pastures in the middle of nowhere, and most of them thumbed their noses at the process anyway.
