Yeah there were a lot of screwups in the Morrison Government's response, and further reviews are needed, but I honestly don't think a royal commission in to it is the right approach to take. To me that feels way too weaponised & bad faith, like the ceiling batts enquiry. #AusPol #Covid19Aus

Covid is mild, they say.
Just like the flu, they say.
We have rich hybrid immunity, they say.
The pandemic is over, they say.

They lied. They're still lying. Knowingly so.

And they watch, in silence, as Australians die.

This is #SocialMurder

Australia has a dose of ‘long Morrison’, and it’s nothing to sneeze at

COVID-19 may be receding in the memory but Australia can’t seem to shake off “long Morrison”, the lingering effects of a prime ministership widely deemed to have had a pestilential effect on the country’s body politic. Since his departure from office 14 months ago, we have witnessed the emergence of a number of variants.

Photo of newspaper clipping I've nabbed from a friend's post on a different social media platform appears to have come from a reader's comment in the paper version of this article, which was printed in response a day after the main article: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/a-message-for-the-premier-honour-the-deal-you-made-with-teachers-20230803-p5dtqc.html
