That's just silly spin Baggers. Demonising, get real.
The bloke gets paid $441k a year to make the big calls - so he gets the kudos when it goes right and also gets the flak when it goes pear shaped - as it well and truly has done here.
Did you read or hear today (as I understand it):
1. They were aware of potential outbreaks in the Carlton towers many weeks back - and did sfa;
2. they were advised on Day 1 of the quarantine gig that the arrangements in place were questionable;
3. the initial recommendation made to use ADF or others i.e. police was rejected (or ignored).
It appears the ONLY reason there is a lock down now - 6 weeks - is because of the quarantine fiasco.
If I were in his shoes, I would resign. Simple.
I have to agree with this. The quarantine debacle was Andrews being pig headed and keeping his union mates happy. If he listened to the PM and took the offer of ADF and Fed Pol (like all the other states did), there would be no quarantine debacle. Simple. Yes the corkheads in quarantine did the wrong thing, but they wouldnt have tried that on for size if they were starting a soldier or a copper in the face.
