When we get a new head of state decided for us, not by us, we should be able to have honest & respectful discussions.
About our past.
About our future.
About doing it together.

A woman has died from Covid-19, in Australia, a country that has repeatedly eliminated it, months after vaccines became available. She was unvaccinated.
There needs to be an inquiry, ideally a royal commission, into the federal government's vaccine procurement and rollout.
Memo to Morrison: This is how the rest of the world now sees us—a land of squandered opportunity—all as a direct consequence of your failure to deliver on the 2 things you were asked to get right: ordering enough vaccines & building quarantine facilities.

Scott Morrison is happy to take credit for every COVID success, but when his own inquiry told him that we needed to fix quarantine, it immediately became someone else’s problem – as always.
Fair weather leadership is no leadership at all.
They really do take Australians for fools. Melbourne is locked down because the Morrison Government has failed on quarantine and failed on vaccination — both federal responsibilities. No amount of lies and spin will change that. Victorians deserve better. https://t.co/XaxhtPlkhA
