@peterbulloch4328 "How can you say that when all politicians in this country abided by and supported their health leaders and officials recommendations?" First, by choosing to go along with what the health officials said, regardless of the consequences of that. What the health official said was concerned only with stopping the disease; why would you trust a health official to take other things like the economy into account? The pollies job is to take all factors into account and make a decision, not just the desires of one group. Second, who says that they did abide by the health officials? In Victoria at least, they refused to tell us what the health officials said, and in a few cases it turned out that they weren't doing what the health officials said. The health officials were the excuse for their totalitarianism. "If Morrison had gone against their advice you would be slamming him for that too, right?" Not necessarily, no. If he ignored it, yes. If he weighed it up against other considerations, no.

@108Marycelestial "Scott Morrison is a man of God so he can do no wrong." Factually false, of course. "He made a mistake of worshipping the wrong God ..." Also factually false.

@wendychan6679 "it was clear to me that Morrison had to be booted out. He has lied to the Australian people on many occasions (especially with COVID) and should be made to answer." That was not clear to me at all. I won't say that he never lied (he did keep secret taking over several ministries, but that's not a lie), and he did things that I strongly believe are wrong, like stopping people leaving the country (something only done by Communist regimes), but he was basically honest about things.
