The ScoMo Government

Jump to new
Morrison's incompetence around covid matters is gold standard.
Australia's covid safe framework is 3rd world, and was last updated in June last year. Its 3-Step graphic does not mention the infamous app which was supposed to be integral to re-opening our economy.
We still have no agreement on what constitutes a covid hotspot, or grounds for closing borders. And we have no national QR code framework that would assist all businesses in tracking clientele in case an infected person needed to be contact traced.
Our vaccine program is an unmitigated disaster - too little too late: we missed our end-march target by well in excess of 3 million. Not only that, we were told an abundance of caution would be applied, so that vaccine candidates with suspect safety records would not be used, as Brendan Murphy said:
"But we've got to do it safe - this is not a race - what is most important is the health and safety of Australians in the vaccination program and that's what we've principally focused on." ​
Well, that was just a bald-faced lie!
Furthermore, as economists have been pointing out, it IS a race.
And that's the real issue on covid incompetence. While other countries were greenlighting production in advance of possible emergency use approval, Morrison had put most of his eggs in the basket containing the UQ vaccine. So when it was pulled in December, little to none of the AstraZeneca vaccine had been produced despite a heads of agreement being in place for CSL to manufacture it locally way back on 7 September.
It's not rocket science working out that the sooner herd immunity is achieved, the sooner our economy is back to normal.
Moreover, with herd immunity, and vaccine passports in place, international travel/tourism could resume.
Why didn't Morrison do the risk reward calculation on funding early production of vaccines given the tens of billion dollars that a successful result would achieve?
Had CSL simultaneously ramped up both vaccines last year, then by now most Australian adults would have received their first dose. Instead, our rollout rate sees us as one of the worst performing industrialised nations.
 
Lets see how The Shovel viewed the ScoMo governments efforts .

Morrison Government Revealed As Elaborate April Fool’s Day Prank



Australia’s Federal government is a joke, it has been revealed.

In what has been described as the longest set up ever for a joke, the Government today admitted that it was just an elaborate prank.
“I can’t believe you guys fell for it actually,” Josh Frydenberg said on behalf of the government. “I mean really – a government that covers up a rape, backgrounds against the victim’s partner, calls the victim a lying cow, sends the minister in question on paid leave and then claims to be listening to women. I mean it’s simply not plausible that a government would do that,” he said.

“And that’s just that start of it. We totally xucked up the vaccination roll-out during the biggest pandemic in 100 years, when that was literally the only task we had.

“And then just yesterday, when we were 3.5 million doses off target, we sent out Greg Hunt to say – and I quote – ‘The national vaccination program is accelerating exactly as intended in the manner that was intended at the time it was intended.’ I mean, that’s clearly not serious guys. That’s satire (or farce ed) . And yet some of you lot still thought we were a serious government. Forty eight percent of you even said you’d vote us back in again! Good lord!”

Another 30 plus reasons why Andrew Leming should be immediately sacked from the Liberal Party and the Government face the consequences.
Turns out he has been constructing and running a multitude of Facebook pages attacking his opponents and promoting himself - without identification of his political standing. That is a no no.

Liberal MP Andrew Laming created dozens of Facebook pages to promote LNP and attack opponents

Exclusive: federal member for Bowman operates more than 30 pages and profiles under the guise of community groups, which he uses to promote political material

The besieged Liberal National MP Andrew Laming operates more than 30 Facebook pages and profiles under the guise of community groups, including at least three masquerading as news pages, and another posing as an educational institute.

...According to the Australian Electoral Commission, political authorisation is required for “information that is a matter communicated, or intended to be communicated, for the dominant purpose of influencing the way electors vote in a federal election”.

“This includes, but is not limited to, a communication that expressly promotes or opposes a candidate, political party, member or senator.”

The disclosure laws, which were updated following the 2016 election, also explicitly include social media posts, requiring authorisation details either in the message or through the page’s biography details.
 

Yes , there is no point in him hanging around any more.

He should immediately resign from Parliament.
 
Another couple of terms of Labor coming up IMO.
Economy is picking up nicely, so it is time to get Labor in with some great ideas, that will be implemented badly and ultimately ends up with them thrown out yet again.
Wash, rinse, repeat. ?
It really would be funny, if it wasn't so repetitious.

Libs are bogged, yet again, in their own dung. ?

Why not trot out the bad financial managers line.....oh thats right your lot have taken that one over!
So the new angle will be poor implementation at the very least they have some ideas
What has this mob done?
Prior to covid the economy was stagnant
 
More b/s from b/s HQ ....how can you even listen to these idiots?


EU denies blocking millions of vaccines

The European Union has denied claims made by the Morrison government that it blocked the export of 3.1 million Covid-19 vaccine doses to Australia. While defending missed vaccine targets on Tuesday, Morrison claimed that the major AstraZeneca shipment had been blocked, while Agriculture Minister...

Bwaahaaha

We have had one of the best covid responses, support of businesses/workers, cooperation between states and fed of any country.

Europe literally had to nick our doses of vaccine that we had ordered well in advance. We are one of the few places that took initiative and made the vaccine.

If you want to diss on the government there are literally a hundred other things.
Covid ain't one of them though.
EU filled their orders first, so they didn't "approve" the batches coming to Australia until astra filled commitments to them first. Semantics, it's still a block.

We have had a very poor response, except for the largesse of Jobkeeper - a program that made some rich businesses richer.
Morrison remains inept in getting State cooperation - the vaccine fiasco being his latest misstep - so the flipflopping of border closures cost tens of thousands of Australians many thousands of dollars in travel cost losses, unexpected quarantine costs, and weeks unpaid off work.
We still have about 35000 citizens stuck overseas despite promises to bring them home by Christmas.
And prior to that the blame game was rife with the federal government not wanting to accept responsibility for its age care facility failures, and the many hundreds of deaths.
 
And then blamed the states
 
Yeah compared to the rest of the world we are a real basketcase....

The truth is that the sexist attitudes in Canberra wasn't registering with the voter demographic they wanted so there was a change in tact.

Now it's pushing the lie that our covid response was flawed. Despite the fact we have had one of the best responses in the world. Hilarious stuff. Let's turn a positive into a negative and spin some lies US style.
 
The rest of the world are not isolated islands like Australia.
We rate worse than Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Madagascar, Mauritius, Singapore, Fiji, Taiwan and New Zealand.
We fare a fraction better than 3rd world Cuba!
The truth of the matter is it has been the States who have done the better work.
NSW and Victoria's covid death tolls were largely a failure of the federal government in administering aged care. What they needed to have in place is spelled out in the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Please name something, anything, world class that Morrison put in place to fight covid. For that matter, what shingle apart from good luck, can he claim?
 

Probably the best thing he did was establish a National Cabinet with the State Premiers to bring together a united front to the issue.
The Government also respected the medical advice that said go quick and go hard on closures to minimise the spread and get on top quickly. That took some courage given the pressure from businesses and the behaviour of places like US and UK.

There were some big preventable mistakes (cruise ship fiasco and aged care) but overall I thought the States and the Fed did a good job. One could argue that some big businesses made out like bandits on the Job Keeper program. It had to be done quickly. There could be some retrospective efforts to ensure there wasn't too much taken off the top. And I think there should be a focus on catching and punishing outright fraud - purely on principle.
