But, I’m guessing you’re among a tiny minority.

Try another quiz. What do these people have in common? Scott Morrison. Gladys Berejiklian. Dominic Perrottet. Greg Hunt. Brad Hazzard. Michel Gunner. Mark McGowan. Stephen Marshall. Peter Gutwein. John Skerritt. Brendan Murphy. Boris Johnson. Jacinda Ardern.

TYRANTS

This one is a little easier, I suspect.  Yes, they are all Covid tyrants who have since – in many cases rather suddenly and without convincing explanation – resigned or have been forced out in other ways.  In at least a couple of cases, they were pushed by colleagues, or were removed from office by their electorate. But mostly, they just upped and left all by themselves.

The latest departure occurred last month. For an assessment of the Western Australian departee, Mark McGowan, Rebekah Barnett suggests: “Saviour or tyrant? The pandemic brought out Premier Mark McGowan’s true colours.”

One might speculate as to the reasons for their departures. Mostly they leave to “spend more time with their families”.

One observer, following Mark McGowan’s departure from the premiership of Western Australia, saw the irony in one who denied so many family members the right to see one another during his maniacal COVID lockdowns – leaving to spend time with his own family.

At least two, McGowan and Ardern, have cited exhaustion. I’m not sure that politicians’ stamina has declined or that the pressures of the job have increased that much to render this explanation believable.

Certainly, there has been a massive increase in political departures mid-term over the past decade.

This effectively denies the electorate a chance to decide who governs us, and is, therefore, inherently anti-democratic. Very few Australian leaders these days are actually given the opportunity, or relish the opportunity, to face the people.

Think Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, Brendan Nelson, Julia Gillard, Barry O’Farrell, Mike Baird, Jodi McKay, Morris Iemma, Bob Carr, Nathan Rees – these are merely the NSW and Australian Commonwealth examples over the past decade or so – as well as the others mentioned above.

I guess that if COVID proved anything, it was that the political class doesn’t give a rat’s about the voters and their rights. They got rid of parliaments, for one.

They created a new form of governance (national cabinet) out of nothing, without anyone agreeing to it. They handed over decision-making to unelected public health tsars.

(The outgoing WA premier recently suggested, bizarrely, that National Cabinet should decamp to China for one of its meetings).

Those remaining in place in Australia include Daniel Andrews and the unspellable Queenslander. They haven’t any shame whatsoever.

I am not the only one to notice this. Craig Kelly has raised it.

Then there is this headline from Politico: “Out of office: The politicians and advisers who have left their posts due to coronavirus. The pandemic has not been good for political job security.”

ACCOUNT

Sadly, though, none of those departing have been properly held to account for their crimes. Rather, they have tip-toed away from the scene, hoping that few will notice.

Arguably, Boris Johnson was forced out over a COVID crime, but not the right COVID crime.

Politico names names, but again, most who lost their (European) jobs did so for breaching lockdown rules or because their death numbers were rising too fast for their colleagues or leaders.

Not for their crimes of imposing unjustified lockdowns and vaccine mandates, nor for causing the deaths of many either through sanctioning end of life drugs or denying patients proper treatments.

For those volunteering to go, one might speculate as to their reasons. Could it be growing unease, even the clenching of buttocks, at the avalanche of revelations about the COVID-era of policy, and the “c” word? Culpability.

The emerging picture of lies, blunders, fatal missteps, cover-ups, subservience to globalist pressures and brutality ain’t pretty.

And you can only hold your fingers in the dyke for so long. Truth will out. Perhaps one or more of the following recent developments might have been weighing them down:

An Israeli study, released following a Freedom of Information request, revealed that literally no one under 50 and in good prior health died from COVID. Not one.
