Scomo draws the line

Yepp, that sums it up nicely.

Look, team: we’ve paid 10 times too much for land, bought water from friends for double the cost, done huge favours for fossile fuel donors, ruined lives with bogus debts, bribed electorates with Sports, fabricated documents to smear opponents, fair enough, BUT…..

, … buying EXPENSIVE WATCHES for EMPLOYEES is where I DRAW THE LINE.

Leppington triangle, Angus Taylor water buyback scandal, mining industry, bogus robodebts, sports grants affair, Angus Taylor (the one with more than 9 lives) fabricated documents scandal – nothing to see here. Australia Post Christine Holgate buys watches 2 years ago for employees as a reward for performance – must go. Says it all.

“So little Joshie Frydenberg, the puffed-up bully-boy,
confected outrage specialist and ScoMo’s dinky toy,
has demonstrated yet once more his arrogant disdain
for decency in parliament by going off his brain
with quite the demonstration of ambition gone berserk,
a rant that left him looking like a monumental jerk,
so here’s to all Victorians, you’ve done a mighty job,
and next time vote out Joshua, the biggest southern knob,
for Coalition negligence left nursing homes alone
while private owners raked in cash and tossed the aged a bone.”

The lockdown and the people

People who have chosen to leave no good word for Dan Andrews mostly because they were unable to cope with what was an absolutely necessary lockdown, should have a look at what Wikipedia has about him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Andrews

Dan is one of the best political leaders Australia has at the present time. It needs courage and inner strength to be undeterred and take decisions that inevitable won’t go down well with part of the Victorian population. This is what true leaders do – and what poor leaders don’t do. In a time of crisis, unpopular decisions have to be taken. Full stop. It is just silly and naive to think: Oh, I don’t like this lockdown, it is all too much and therefore it is wrong and our premier is bad! No, it is not wrong and our premier is not bad. Sure, a lockdown is not easy, but it is not wrong. Did we have a choice ? If we don’t want to trust our leaders and their experts, where are we heading then ? Into chaos of course. The inability of individuals who cannot live for a few weeks under safe lockdown conditions cannot be a reason for ending a lockdown before it is safe to do so.
