Scott Morrison saying that "we were too optimistic about Omicron" is a euphemism for saying "we didn't listen to the epidemiologists, nor take into consideration what is happening around the world."

Australia’s #PrimeMinimal failed to order enough rapid antigen tests - just like he failed to order enough vaccines last year.
Limited supplied mean larger profits
#ScottyDoesNothing for us. Everything for his business mates.
Just caught up for coffee with a friend at Warren and Holt in Marrickville- checked in and showed Vax proof complying with NSW health rules - no problem - PM seems unaware that NSW and Qld govt have same procedures 🧐
And how have you helped?
Did you order enough vaccine soon enough?
Did you urge NSW to lock down to protect us all?
Did you run a big TV campaign encouraging vaccination?
Or take responsibility for Vax mandates?
Did you support Victoria like you did NSW?
No. You didn’t
You can make your own choice about vaccination, but you don’t get to put your workplace and your workmates at risk. We’re standing in solidarity with the thousands of frontline workers who have been at greatest risk over the past 18 months. #VaxSolidarity

BREAKING: the Senate has just voted to support our amendment demanding that companies making huge profits (like Harvey Norman) are ineligible for payments like JobKeeper - and that they pay it back.
Support is meant for workers, not cashed-up corporations & billionaires.
This means people will die & the economy will tank. How much evidence do we need from worldwide experience? Look after health and it is better for jobs and the economy
The Murdoch press: It’s Annastacia’s fault an unvaccinated nurse was working in a Qld hospital but not Gladys’ fault an unvaccinated nurse was working in a NSW hospital.
Scott Morrison said that the rollout was "not a race".
Let's be very clear: we’re only in this situation because the Liberals & Nationals have bungled the rollout and failed on quarantine.
Turns out, it was a race. Don't let them forget it. #auspol#nswpol#GoldStandard
Why does @GladysB keep saying NSW“doesn’t burden its citizens unnecessarily” ? the implication is that other states do. That is so mean, uncollegial & very cheap politics. it really annoys me & I’m sure also others #COVID19nsw#COVID19#nswpol
