Covid is so powerful that it caused both Trump and Australia PM Morrison to demote themselves, convert their countries to lawless dictatorships, enslaving millions, leaving them voiceless, without a single advocate

“There has never been a more stupid and hysterical miscarriage of policy at a state level, abetted by a ‘Prime Minister’[Scott Morrison] who has demoted himself to being one more idiot among the State and Territory idiots, effectively carrying their water for them.”…”The Chairman [or Premier] has learned of the usefulness of a State of Disaster. He can now rule by fiat, without the pesky inconvenience of requiring Parliament to pass legislation.…Expect the State of Disaster to be in place until November 2022.”…commenters to Australia blog post below…The entire nation of Australia has been overturned for, as of Aug. 8, only 266 Covid related deaths.

August 5, 2020, “Victorian [Australia] quarantine inquiry delayed,” Catallaxy Files, Sinclair Davidson

“Not content with not answering questions in the Parliament, the Victorian government has now delayed the Hotel Quarantine Inquiry that prevents the government from answering journalists’ question on that bungle. 

“Victoria’s anticipated hotel quarantine inquiry has been delayed by more than a month. 

[Victoria Premier] Daniel Andrews has today approved an extension to the inquiry’s reporting deadline, from September 25 to November 6. 

The Premier would not comment when asked about potential delays to the inquiry at a press conference today.” 

Won’t even answer questions as to why it was delayed. Probably a tad embarrassing to admit that November 6 is a week after the October 29 Queensland election. 

To be clear this is a huge stuff up. 

“Genomic testing evidence is expected to reveal almost all, if not all, of Victoria’s second wave can be directly linked to the bungled quarantine scheme.” 

While the deed itself is bad enough, the cover up is always what kills.  [Victoria Premier] Andrews can’t keep us all under house arrest until the next election, so sooner or later he is going to have to sack several of his minions and run a show-trial to punish the guilty.”

“The upper house could refuse to pass any legislation.” 

The Chairman [or Premier] has learned of the usefulness of a State of Disaster. 

He can now rule by fiat, without the pesky inconvenience of requiring Parliament to pass legislation or even showing up to answer questions. 

Expect the State of Disaster to be in place until November 2022.”

After the bungled quarantine of returning travellers (say 30 May to 7 July), there was a further month of bungled ‘domestic quarantine in self-isolation’. This second phase failure has yet to receive sufficient attention. During this time over 10,000 people refused Covid tests, it took up to a week for test results to be notified, and (when defence forces finally started to check) 30% of those allegedly self-isolated at home were out and about. 

As the daily infection numbers took off, Andrew’s response was to replace each set of failed and arbitrary restrictions with the next set of more onerous but equally arbitrary restrictions, always focused on the 99% healthy, rather than the 1% infected and their close contacts, and always unenforceable. 

Welcome to the first pandemic to be confronted by ‘woke’ post-modern policies based on not quarantining the infected, but instead appealing to a sense of community identity that has been dissolved in a toxic soup of government-sponsored identity politics…. 

There has never been a more stupid and hysterical miscarriage of policy at a state level, abetted by a ‘Prime Minister’[Scott Morrison] who has demoted himself to being one more idiot among the State and Territory idiots, effectively carrying their water for them.”
