What a debacle we’re experiencing with this government right now – again. After our PM Slowmo was unable to find time to meet a top delegation of fire-fighters in the winter of 2019, where they wanted to inform him about the upcoming, more dangerous than ever outlook for our summer fire season. What a big mistake, which destroyed not only properties, but lives as well.
After we had to watch the death of so many people in aged-care institutions in Victoria, which is managed by the federal government, I hoped that they learned something. Thanks to the 7.30 Report, which showed the timeline about the awareness for the need of the RA tests, that it was August 2021, but as so often, nothing happened.
While our PM doesn’t hold a hose, thank god for that, he seems to be totally out of touch with reality. We need to have big numbers of tests available while you let the virus rip through the communities. The underfunding and cuts to the health system and other areas are getting now is very obvious. How dare this government go mad buying all these weapons while people are dying because of not enough funding for our health system. Let us hope that the voters will remember at election time.
