yeah, that's a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario.

if they get done early and publicly, some people will criticise them for queue jumping.

if they don't, the Anti vaxxers and everyone else who's nervous about the vaccine will point to the politicians and ask why aren't they getting done/ What do they know, what are they hiding? Why should I get it if they won't etc.

^ I actually think it's very important that the PM be seen to be having it first. That said, covering it live didn't make for great radio on the ABC. The descriptions weren't as evocative as the cricket commentary, that's for sure.

That was way over the Top. Just get a Photo or put a Video up on Social Media about it.

Though he getting the Good One so not many of us will get that one but Hunt and Murphy is getting the Main one that Aussies are Getting so Respect those 2 more then Scommo and Kelly

The PM and other pillows need to be in the first few getting it. A significant part of dealing with the CoronaVirus is related to the messaging.

I personally would like to administer it to Craig Kelly.

Agreed, but they still get criticised for it.

Adam Banned from the Greens and Tony Elbow-Knees have also been offered to get it early, wonder if Dandrews will do the same and get in early?

The pollies should and in Vic the opposition and cross benchers too. I would stagger it with the leaders first.

I’m more than happy to give it Bernie Finn.

If we sold raffle tickets with the winner to be able to vaccinate Dan we could clear the state debt. :wink: :P

Interesting reaction at the tennis last night. I couldn't tell if they were booing the mention of the vaccine or booing the guy who yelled out something when the vaccine was mentioned.

I heard that replayed on the Radio. There was also booing when someone doing a speech thanked the state government.

Dandrews demonstrating his usual lack of leadership and playing politics instead by declining to "jump the queue" and saying he'll get it when it's his turn. :roll:

Bandt demonstrating his utter lack of common sense by rocking up to his injection wearing a skivy, meaning the nurse had to roll the sleeve up 3cm at a time to get to his shoulder. Ever heard of a T shirt dickhead?
