Indirectly responsible for people gathering during lockdown

You can spin this any way you like but the federal government’s vulgar and superfluous verbal attacks on Daniel Andrews is for some people a top level encouragement to take lightly or even break lockdown rules and gather, thus producing a high risk of spreading the virus. The sabotaging nature of the Morrison government’s ongoing attacks on Daniel Andrews will not be forgotten.

Apart from the above, one also has to see that here is a federal government playing political games when the state of Victoria under the fine leadership of Daniel Andrews is dealing with a dangerously infectious threat for the health of the people of Victoria. Morrisson & Co have for many Australians lost their credibility or what is left of it.

1969 – Across the Universe, by John Lennon/Beatles – Jai Guru Deva

Across the Universe

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Tough – but necessary

Sure, this was not easy for many Victorians. The absence of distraction was probably more difficult for younger people.

The lockdown also reveals how much some of us depend on movement, company of others and so on. It is an interruption with a purpose and most of us probably agree with the Victorian government’s decisions during what is an extremely difficult time period.
