You are still evading the point and shifting the blame, and now you appear to be upset because I obviously didn't explain the purpose of my rhetorical questions well enough.
The point is that our governments clearly have research and modelling that is guiding their policy making and they are not sharing it.
Since you are confident in the actions of our medical officers, and you were upset at the notion that ScoMo flipped a coin to make his decisions, you seem to agree that they have some scientific reason for their actions.
I agree with you that it won't be perfect, but no matter how often you repeat or capitalise "unknown" and "unprecedented", you are defending the governments actions because you think they have a solid, rational, scientific reason for the things they are doing. Which is great, I agree with you.
In fact, I've heard that they have now decided to share some of their modelling, so it looks like we were both right, they do have some! (and I was additionally correct, that they are not up to now sharing it).
And you are upset by my meme comment. You go on to say you didn't get your information from a meme, you got it from "every medical expert" and from the ABC. That was the point of those questions, to show where you are not getting your information. I don't care if it was a meme, the ABC, the internet. Where you are not getting your information is the government.
So you are agreeing with me, albeit tacitly.
The rest of your post is trying to justify why they aren't sharing it. You can't actually point me to any instances where they have done those things, so instead you are shifting the burden of proof to me. It is not my job to find models that work, or explain why governments are doing what they are doing, or to be a medical expert, or to write to Labor to complain.
Finally, you see my "hatred of Morrison" shining through. I guess the many journalists and scientists calling for more transparency from the governments on this must also have a shining hatred of Morrison.
I included all governments in Australia in that accusation that they weren't sharing their information, and that includes the state Labor governments.
I need to speak to individual state Labor premiers?
If I want to bag someone bag someone bag Qld Labor for the local elections? (that was a terrible decision from the Labor government in Queensland)
Perhaps I can exhaust my energy writing to my local Labor MP or indeed Albo?
It does seem that one of us is making it about Labor vs Coalition, but it sure as heck isn't me.
Your idea of evasion is different to mine.The modelling you comment on is of course being discussed regularly by the medicos and the Govt, and the assistant chief medico Paul Kelly has stated it will be eventually announced.Day to day calculations are on the website. according to KellyThus it is not a Govt only decision that it hasn't been publicised yet.Morrison is neither a fireman or medico.
I didn't say you were incorrect with them not sharing it, my point was and is what will the modelling tell the average Joe when he knows there will be a peak.
Anzac day thereabout is D Day apparently, but guess what ,we have 8 or so cruise ships off Australia and untold numbers of crew with symptoms, which could have a dramatic effect on numbers and peaks.
Governments make decisions (they consider)in the best interest of the populace at times, without going into full details as to how they arrived at it, to avoid wholesale panic.
I think you are patting yourself on the back ,when you suggest I agree with you tacitly.
The Government mate, is working with the medical experts, three of them (the top ones )appearing at various times with Ministers at media announcements.They are advising the Govt and not as you wish to make out it is the Govt doing it off its own bat.
If the medicos had stated we recommend now to show the modelling to the public, you think the Govt would say "hell no." we'll do it our way.Else why have medicos involved?
OK where are you getting your information that is different to mine, other than the media?
With a situation like we have with corona virus and the fragility and natural fear of people with this terrible
virus, setting a panic is the last thing one wants.
And I've included all Govts in this country, as they as part of the National Cabinet ,as to the decisions they have made, thus I've been inclusive of Liberal and Labor on the matter.Not all the decisions have been brilliant.eg Ruby Princess
When I hear the likes of Keneally etc and some of the Labor shadow ministers taking pot shots at the decisions made, expect the Labor v Lib argument to come to the fore.I don't have an issue with questioning,I do with nit picking.
An MP is there to represent the interests of his electorate,If you are unhappy with decisions being made by Govt,(even though it not be his party in power). I've done so, that's why I mentioned doing so.
And guess what there are numbers of journos, medicos and scientists who have backed the Govts /medicos decision making as a whole.That's not to say, at times the decisions has been a confusing one or out of kilter and had to be rectified .I've seen them all, pro and anti the Govt decisions.
Even that journo Peter Van Olselen(spelling) has changed his views on Morrison.
TBH Morrison looks as if he's aged a few years and looks well and truly stuffed.
We were just about the first country to stop non resident Chinese coming here (circa Feb) due to the threat of spreading the virus.Hence thousands of Uni students were prevented from entering the country. Calling it a pandemic, before that hopeless WHO mob decided it was.
Were there things that could have been done better? No doubt.
