Example - This cut and paste from post 2406 on this thread.
There's no doubt that containing the virus in Victoria was always going to be much harder than in South Australia, regardless of who was in charge.
Reasons include, Melbourne airport being an international gateway to Australia, much higher migrant populations in Victoria who may not always be proficient in speaking and reading English ( and may not trust government officials and health advice to the same extent as those born here. ) Melbourne ports are also a major freight gateway and the major transport and manufacturing distribution centres have people coming and going from all areas in the country with inherent poor monitoring of driver health status.
If that's not fair, rational conversation, I don't know what is. If other posters on these forums showed as much balance in their posts, we could have much more intelligent discussions rather than the one eyed partisan at all costs rants we seem to be seeing from a few at the moment. Very relevant to stawks last post too I think..
One post excuses your diatribe?
Your other posts are the complete opposite to that.
You have continually bagged Vic and Dan in post after post so NO the above is just generic as you have put every
Victorian offside due to your comments time and time again.
Mistakes are always going to be made and no one is excempt from that but your rant against Vic and Dan went to
the next level and started to sound like a political platform to stop him getting elected next term.
Hopefully it's brought under control quickly in SA as I have five brothers and two sisters over there but to
continually bag Vic has to stop.
It's bad enough with the footy but over this it's just totally wrong.
How is it any different to the vast majority of posters here who support Labor and continually bag the LNP Federal government ? Are you calling for the " Diary of our stinking government " thread to be shut down ? If not, total hypocrisy on your behalf..
Many would argue the " diary " thread is valid as it is exposing and discussing mistakes made by that administration. ( fair enough ) It is very obvious that Dan Andrews has made just as many mistakes in his handling of the COVID virus in his state and the costs have been immeasurable, including the loss of over 800 lives.
Why is it justified to discuss mistakes the LNP federal government have made ( and yes there are a few worthy of discussion ) but not to question Dan Andrews handling of the virus in Victoria when the results have been so traumatic for so many people ?
I don't care who posts here or what their views are. The more varied the better as far as I,m concerned. But if people feel so challenged and offended by alternate views, they may need to consider whether a public forum is the right place for them. Maybe they should give consideration to joining one of the many echo chamber groups where their own one eyed view of the world will be encouraged and endorsed by every other participant. If they wish to stay on a public forum, they need to accept others may not always agree with them and may challenge mistakes made by their governments...
