whilst leadership is very important

the virus IS ACTUALLY SPREADING AMONG people -------------- so, YES, it's people who have been complacent and it's people who have transmitted from one to the other

governments can only lead --------

I personally don't see that government have done a real lot wrong ---------- ok - there's the hotel security thing - but, the only other realistic option was military - and, that's to be avoided if at all possible in a democracy

there's the meat thing - but, it seems there's problems throughout the entire meat industry ------------ world wide

the protest is very arguable ----------- as I said - I would not have stopped the protest --------- I wouldn't do that just for reason of Covid ------------- I would have handled it differently though - I would have made very loud noises to say - something like

'ok, this is a democracy and although it's bad timing because of Covid - I fully accept that people have a right to peacefully assemble - so - I will permit the protest - but, I ask that all who attend wear masks and observe social distancing -
it is your unalienable right to assemble - but, we all have a responsibilty to each other and, there are many people in the community who will be put at risk from large public gatherings if they are not done so with a high level of respect and discipline - (I would then have showed several pictures of older people - all a mix of aboriginal, white, black, asian etc etc) and said again - these are the people that large gatherings put at risk - all I ask you is to assemble safely, so that we do not put our community at risk'

that sort of thing ------------------- I would have made it very clear that it was their decision to gather and protest and I would have made the political pressure on them so strong that they would have had to comply with strong anti transmission methods - or abandon their protest

you need to engineer it so that people just will NOT do the wrong thing or they just shoot their entire cause in the foot

it can be done, it can be done well and it should be done.

Aside from that - ?????????? what else can you do that's really much better?

Mate that's just a big load of waffle.

If only you could come up with similar excuses for ScoMo and his bunch of clowns!

FFS call a spade a spade. This has nothing to do with left, right, alp or LNP etc.

This idiotic clown in Victoria has f&%ed everything up. It's as simple as that.

Why the need to make up excuses for this f wit? I don't understand.
