Our home grown Populists seem to be more anti-intellectual than anti-elite per se.
The reasonable question to be addressed re the interview was; 'is it appropriate to label a taxpayers paid vaccine promotion with the Liberal Party symbol?
The Health Minister , apart from labelling Mr Rowland as Left Wing, tried to justify the appearance of the Liberal symbol on the basis that the ad was a Government ad.
This is unacceptable , IMO, on two fronts: -Minister hunt is the Minister for Health making a media appearance to truthfully convey a message to the public re covid 19 and the vaccine rollout -That a public attempt to discredit an appropriate question by attacking the credibility of the interviewer rather than answering the question.
The proper answer to the question ought to have been: "Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will take action to have the Liberal Label replaced with the Commonwealth logo ASAP" .
Instead, he mused about this issue likely to take up more than 50% of the interview; in other words he knew that the appearance of the Libs logo on the ad was controversial if not downright wrong.
But i guess social media has given a voice to those that the education system has failed or, perhaps to be more precise, those who failed the education system...eh?
No wonder that the public trust in politicians is waning ?
