It's pleasing to see you agree with me.
And you would also agree, no doubt in my mind, that you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

people arent happy with the federal governments effort to support vaccinations in Indigenous communities, you appear to be?
I do agree that people cant be forced to be vaccinated, but if supply isnt there, if staff arent there and if the information is not accessible it will contribute to the low rates we see.
There must be a bit of truth to the story, the Murdoch press is going with it.
How long can Morrison's bullying and threatening keep the truth from being told.
"When Prime Minister Scott Morrison raged at rapid antigen test suppliers to “tell the truth” and stop claiming the government was stealing their stock on Friday, at least one furious retailer realised vital evidence that could explode those denials was on his mobile phone.
Leaked WhatsApp correspondence between the retailer and a major importer of rapid antigen tests in Australia reveals one importer confessed in early January that he was “sorry” but capacity was now being redirected to the government."
"And that same week the RATs went missing in action, the Morrison government negotiated new tenders for millions of rapid antigen tests, including one contract for a stunning $26 million."
"But when the retailers went public telling customers what they were told – that their tests were going to the government – the Prime Minister and the Health Minister threatened the companies with huge penalties."

I don't like how the Chinese Gov using Tencent as a puppet to land a cheap shot on our political system, but I can't help but find this situation a bit amusing too. The guy just wanted an account with lots of followers and he bought one! Not sure we can really believe he's completely ignorant of what was going in behind the scenes, but it is funny.

Is unsure, cautious Albanese wily enough to outwit Morrison? - Pearls and Irritations
Voters like the Labor leader, but there are no signs of a passionate embrace. This is the first of two articles. The second will appear tomorrow. Anthony Albanese might be further down the road to power were he not dragging the weight of the doubts among Labor-oriented voters about whether he...

That might be the official story, but I doubt that a transaction involving the Aus PM's Wechat account didn't have any Chinese Gov involvement, even if it was just laughingly signing off on the transaction.
The Morrison government is as arrogant as the Boris Johnson government, enough is enough.

Australians like to think of ourselves as rebels but culturally we love rules, and aren’t always kind to rule-breakers
Albo gives a great speech at the National Press Club outlining what kind of PM he'd be and what his government would prioritise, and corporate media (including the ABC) barely covers it. Fearless defenders of the status quo, our meeja.
There's bigger political news to cover at the moment. Apparently Grace Tame didn't curtsey the PM.
