Indonesia, a developing country of 300 million has fully vaccinated the same percentage of people as Australia has. That's not a good look for us.

If the vaccine rollout doesn’t finish off the Morrison government, nothing will.

Barnaby really starting strongly as a Deputy PM who unites rather than divides

You know what though. Many farmers I know and people that live in regional Victoria feel the similar to these views. It gets said for example not operating a ring of steel in lockdowns shows that our state government only cares Melbourne.

This is the front page of CNN.com;


We are becoming a laughing stock on the global stage because of Morrison’s rollout. This is his legacy.
Scooper, this simply is, the worst PM in our country’s history. He is a failure in crisis. An outright failure.

So now that NSW has lost control of the virus the super dooper scary Delta variant is an issue? Ahem Victoria ran it to ground with a fast lockdown. Any credit for their management? Morrison just padding his nest as usual. Finally getting on the TV now that it's in his jurisdiction.
The media narrative is a joke & so is our PM.

And thanks to Berko the nation is on a knifes edge. And why the *** we haven’t totally shut the border to NSW is completely beyond me.

I never liked him but is it true (sad) to say that Howard was our last 'tough' PM? Now 15 years ago.

Here’s the rub, even with Abbott who I diametrically opposed on most of his positions stood for something, you knew what he valued, who he was. Same for Howard, Keating, Hawke and even Rudd first time around. Not Morrison, he answers questions, says nothing, takes us nowhere, stands for nothing. Crisis after crisis goes missing. Shrinks.Shrivels.

And here’s the saddest part, a certainty for a second term.

#BREAKING PM Scott Morrison just confirmed Australians of ANY age can immediately go to their GP and request the AstraZeneca jab under new indemnity arrangements agreed at National Cabinet tonight. Basically if you want the jab and your GP says you’re okay, then go get it!!

What's the bet that if NSW had a big outbreak 8 months ago, 70% of Australia would be vaccinated by now

Oh, but apparently there is only about ~300k doses available

SloMo still feels like an interim to me. Albanese could be better than most think but we're at least 12 months away from an election. I thought Kennett was and spoke like a clown when he was oppo, but I was totally wrong when he became Premier.

So let me get this right. Slo-mo backed AZ as the primary vaccine solution (even if he’s ineptly failed to deliver it with any degree of coordination or expediency). Then, he decided it should only be available to 60 year olds and over. Phasing it out.

But now, in a complete about face, he’s indemifying GP’s to give it to anyone 18 and over ?

WTF ????

You missed one of our better PMs right in the middle of that bunch.

Just had a quick view of Murdoch's Sydney rag the Daily Tele..
You wouldn't even know Glady's was the Premier of NSW. Zero criticism anywhere despite her spreading the virus across Australia.
Hypocritical garbage. Now I need a bath.

So 24 out of the 30 at the West Hoxton birthday party super spreader event contracted the virus.

The other 6 didn’t. You guessed it….


Another interesting little bit from that article, and I will quote:

NSW Health administered 10,652 COVID-19 vaccines in the 24 hours to 8:00pm last night, including 5,540 at the mass vaccination centre at Sydney Olympic Park.

Now, let's assume that GPs did he same amount and be very generous and round it all up to 25,000 in a 24 hour period.

So 25,000 a day, that's 175,000 in a week, so that should have the 5 million people in Sydney vaccinated by about this time next year given each person needs 2 doses. Yeah, well done, going real good.

F***wits couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery.

Even the Murdoch press are beginning to turn on Slo-Mo and this pathetic federal government.

Back in January I knew this would be a f up. Despite having one of only about 7 or 8 mass producing AZ facilities in the world, we couldn’t roll out on time - being months behind compared to the UK and some Euro countries.

And it’s been a continuance of utter incompetency since.

Worst PM and government in our country’s history. Just a complete phoney and fraud. “Not my problem” ….
