Fair enough baggers but to MBB's point, why did the Gov let the BLM protest go ahead when clearly it was not in the best interests of the community from a H&S point of view given the circumstances. Everyone has a right to protest, however there are circumstances where it should be stopped and postponed during states of emergency.

Then the prick had the gall to blame all of us.

Nobody let the BLM go ahead. That went head anyway,  and from memory the three organisers copped hefty fines. What was he supposed to do,  go in batons flailing?   Great optics there.

NSW went to court to make it illegal didnt they?

Only if you broke the rules.

Is that post a bit of a tell about your position on political activism?

btw., I'm not condemning you one way or the other, but I worry that many so called activists want to hide behind claims of social responsibility when they see fit. Ironically, through doing so, they are actually acting subversively in much the way that they accuse the authorities of being!

Social activism succeeds by being overt not covert, Gandhi would have been a dud if he had lied about his political position.

I haven't broke the rules, I actually don't know of anyone who has despite dictator Dan saying we all know someone who has.

I'm sick of all the political talk and grandstanding that runs along as a sideshow with COVID, specifically with Dan Andrews.

People form an opinion based on which way they vote and what their party says.....and ignore the other side of things. A lot of the anti-Dan is simply anti-labour (not all mind you) dressed up in different clothing.

I think it was GI2C who said its not about labour/liberal, its about doing the job from the position we are in and ultimately how that shapes up to people in power around the world.

That is why i give him a B+. OK, he was 2 weeks to slow to jump on the second wave. 2 weeks. Donald Trump (an extreme example i admit) is what, 7 months too slow to do anything about it so far. China, Italy, England....how slow were they by comparison?

If you mapped out how each leader handled it, he'd be near the pointy end (Hence B+) based on infections, actions and communication.
Again, Perfect? No. But point to someone who has been perfect. Even if there is, there is still a Donald Trump on the other end of the spectrum.

It may be me becoming an old curmudgeon but I am sick of political expediency overruling principle these days. OK it's probably always been an issue but it seems to have become much worse in recent times. Too much lying, deception and excuse making.

Absolutely shouldnt be a political issue K, this is a crisis which requires every man woman and child to do their bit and be unified for the safety of all. It lasted for a little while here in Vic, but as soon as the Libs smelt blood, it was on like donkey kong and quite frankly it makes me sick (pardon the pun). Perhaps I'm naive to think it not about politics, I just like to think that during times like these, community spirit can rise to the top. Obviously not.
