ok - that's a fine list -- but, lets look at it closely
1. yep - and we tried to bring in what should be the best - but, many resisted - and, now, Vic has dispatched a group to have a look at what NSW is doing - could they have done that earlier? yes, maybe - maybe not - there's an entire process that has to happen before you find issues and a potential solution elsewhere - problem solving doesn't just happen instantly
2. hmmmm - well depends on what you mean by vulnerable - if you are talking about aged care - it IS a federal responsibilty - so, yes there should be cooperation - but, any issues should be directed to the federal government - not the state
3. yes - that's clear - lets see what the inquiry brings out about that
4. yes - that's clear
5. hmmmm - depends on what area you are looking at - if you are thinking of using military troops for crowd and people control - well, many of us think that that's a last resort thing - ok to have military out fighting fires, floods and cleaning up messes ------ but, a totally different thing to have them controlling people - that's the philosophical argument - the practical argument is that private security people actually should be better trained and qualified for it really -- soldiers are soldiers - crowd control is not what they are trained for and if they have to do it they are in foreign lands in warlike conditions - not in the middle of an Ozzie city in a hotel - different animal - ditto manning roadblocks etc
6. hmmm - maybe ---------- that would be opinion - IMO - governments are elected to govern - IMO - in a crisis - oppositions should get out of the way and watch - if they can assist - ok, offer - but, the government should be allowed to work - it's why they were elected
7. in general yes ------ Andrews has taken full responsibility because it's his watch - lets see what mistakes were actually made when the reports come out on the inquiry --------- some of the bullshit stories of the breakdown have already fizzed - and, I don't see the point of leaders taking time to defend rumours and gossip - Andrews has dispatched a group to look at NSW contact tracing because it might be better - that's fine - the thing is - is it better? - we don't know - would it have held up with more cases to actually trace? - doubtful - we wait
8. oh yes - but, it's not just Victoria is it ------- who woulda thought that Peter Duttons border control didn't look after ships entering - not their role - but, their role is to sieze alligator handbags?????? go figure -------- Oz appears to have a lot of demarcation issues there
