@What'sinaname

No winning happen here, WPT, Tannin and P4S are hardwired to be incapable of giving credit to any liberal for anything yet consider anyone who criticises Labor or Greens is an extreme right winger.

Gladys has done a brilliant job as any unbiased analysis would show. Andrews set the template for how to recover after you've completely fvcked things up but that template should be in the weapon of last resort category, as it was when he used it, not the weapon of first choice.

To give credit where it's due, despite knee jerk reactions in closing the border they've actually put some faith in their contact tracing and haven't locked anything down. Yet.

Maybe Dandrews is following the lead of Gladys.

Absolute cast-iron bullshit and demonstrably so. One of the stupidist things you have ever posted.

I have repeatedly and consistently praised the capable and successful Liberal leaders - Gutwein in Tasmania, Marshal in South Australia - and criticised the gutless or incompetent ones (Morrison in Canberra, Berejiklian in NSW).

In case you have forgotten, Mr Bet Welcher, here it is again: Liberal premier Gutwein and Liberal Premier Marshal have, on the whole, responded to the coronavirus promptly, firmly, and well.

Oh Boo Hoo.

Just to cheer you up, Andrews is now exporting the mutant UK strain to Queensland.

No they’ve exported it to QLD!

Can’t believe they still don’t require negative tests to let people out...

Are you quoting Donald Trump again for truth: the person from Melbourne was discussed with Queensland and was within the existing protocols. Don’t let facts get in the way though.

No need to lock an entire state down for something confined to a small area.

But then this is Victoria where Regional Victoria was locked down with no cases in 99% of the state because Geelong hand an outbreak that was bigger than the entire NSW cluster!
Under 200 is good governance: your application for Mensa has been rejected. The professor does it again

You are however a 100% correct if you accept that exporting the Sydney virus elsewhere is handling things well. By that definition they were fantastic.

However according to the scientists they screwed up. According to professor Eddiesmith, Dr Stui and your self apparently not.

Now who to believe....give me time, it’s just so hard to seek which view one should value.
Your view is horribly skewed. You only look at scientists, immunologists. The ideal isn't to run and hide from the virus. It's to manage living with it. Your ideal world of being locked up when the virus is identified isn't living. It's prison. You should move to China or North Korea if you like this kind of life.

Ask economists, employer groups, employee groups which isn the preferred response.
I do speak with employers and business owners regularly: guess what, they don’t agree with you.

We are dealing with a contagious communicable disease, according you speak to experts, you know those who work in the field.

If I want my car fixed I don’t go to my butcher.

Now had Gladys locked down hard straight away she wouldn’t have exported the Sydney virus across Australia forcing governments of both political persuasions to go into lockdown. This isn’t too complex to understand.

In short DTM yes. Nail hit head. The worst case of this is in the US. Trump definitely did that.
