All you had to do was turn on the TV to see what was happening there. We could have closed things from our end too. We didn't. I can understand why we didn't, it would have seem like very odd action a month or two ago. But that's what leaders are meant to do.
The virus according to reports actually popped up back in November in China,and the Commie Govt waited til they had an annual conference and holiday, before they decided to tell the rest of the world.
Two whistleblower doctors mentioned it on twitter early,they were sanctioned and one died and the other disappeared.The Commie way.
You do understand closing things down straight away, was not recommended by any financial advisers, which would have been even more catastrophic with businesses having zero chance to recover.
One minute you say we didn't then you can understand why we didn't .Correct,leaders are meant to lead and ScoMo is leading, which you won't accept due to the hate factor.But guess what nothing is being hidden from the Australian public.
ScoMo ws was castigated by the left for non leading with the bushfires ,and he gets bagged when he leads with COVID-19.
In fact a Professor who specialises in mental health has praised the Govt for its initiative to provide a substantial amount to assist people who have lost their jobs and the mental anguish that can cause.He noted no other country to date has done such thing..
