COVID-19 - politics, blame and point scoring goes here

even on a smaller scale we could start by finding journos from outside the pool of the nation’s stupidest people

But then what will dark passenger watch?

Well that’s one way to get off corruption charges…
Gotta hand it to this guy, he must signed first editions of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu in his bookcase.
This is going to get ugly.

Poor messaging by the PM.
Condemns the nature of the protests, does not reflect Australian society, but then goes on to say the Feds do not support mandatory vax

  • except for high risk such as health and if business decides.

What a disgrace.

Has anyone asked McGowan about hiring youtubers to get their counter-terrorism units to do their job?

Isn’t it interesting that these nutters are largely active only in Labor states. Even though Covid (vaccination and mask) policy is pretty similar Australia wide.

Debate on the Pandemic Bill adjourned by vote 20-17.
Adem a no show.
Guy seems to think that 60 QCs views should be the decisive factor .

  • because they wear wigs?

We have protests almost weekly here and threats made against the government daily. Some of the comments on SM are pretty disgusting. It doesn’t get reported much because we are such a small market for the media.

The WA Premier has slammed the behaviour of some anti-vaccination protestors as deranged and verging on urban terrorism.

Protestors have been targeting schools that offer on-site COVID-19 vaccinations for their students.

It’s alleged a protestor confronted a student in Perth yesterday, telling them “I might as well shoot you now”.

The Premier Mark McGowan says it has to stop.

Serious question…
I know we all think they are looney, yada, yada yada…
But does any of this come under the umbrella of mental health?
I’d think the lockdowns (not necessarily WA), stress of the pandemic, work / life stresses have all contributed to a rise in pure RAGE.
Not condoning the behaviour. No aussie politician (as terrible as we think they are) deserve death threats.

It definitely does.
It’s just a different version of the QAnon rabbit hole/syndrome.
Except instead of being fed by geocities websites, they’re being fed by facebook, youtube, Sky, HS/DT, 3AW…

Armoured vehicle with a machine gun on the top??? Is there photos or video? Sounds like the kind of thing that would lead to a massive military type response not just a footnote in this story.

Run of the mill everywhere, small groups of peaceful protesters , often with a social conscience such as refugee detention, deaths in custody, that the MSM has zero interest in, occasional death threats by a nutter, which the police quietly chase up without publicity.

I think it was a fake vehicle setup, not a real armoured vehicle.

They had one here last week where a mock funeral was organised by hoteliers and they carried a casket down the streets before loading it into a hearse.
It did get rowdy at the end and police had to intervene.

Was it supposed to be a funeral for the industry, or the end of Steve?

Started as a funeral for the industry but deteriorated a bit near the end. He has been copping a heap of vitriol on SM and threats to others
