THE way not to handle a national health emergency is for every politician in the nation to all start talking. What Australians have experienced during the past week has been complete confusion – with mixed messaging and either perceived or actual disunity among government leaders.
ON LAST Sunday’s 60 Minutes program, reporter Tara Brown aggressively questioned Prime Minister Scott Morrison on why Victoria was closing down schools, whilst the PM advocated that they be kept open.
To start with, it was a dumb question: the head of the Federal government of Australia cannot, nor should he be asked to, answer for the motives of the State of Victoria.
AUSTRALIAN Prime Minister Scott Morrison has laid down the law in the nation’s response to the Coronavirus health scare.
LIKE many people I know, I wasn’t overly concerned when news of Coronavirus broke.
It was probably just another scare campaign by the skittish Left, I thought. A continuation of Y2K, global warming, climate change and all the other end-of-world calamities they fall hard for.
