icac's and inquiries

its not hard to see why govts are loath to start inquiries or build a true ICAC

 

history shows often its those who start them who suffer the most

You just don't get it do you? This is not about my supposed confusion. This is about the repeated one eyed bashing of Labor by you where you play down Liberal mismanagement and attack Labor with all you've got. I don't mind criticisms of any Party as long as the criticisms are objective. But as I wrote, I will make comment on hypocrisy, especially when the bias robs the discussion of intelligent opinions.

And the one eyed Labor supporters ( who make up the vast majority of posters to these boards ) don't involve themselves in regular bashing of the LNP? ...........Cmon....happy to give it out,, but gets very upset when a little is given back.

 

as for robbing the discussion of intelligent opinion,

 

Two seperate issues I think you will find.  The problem with the Ruby Princess was that the passengers where allowed to enter the country without quarantine. Yes a major stuff up and it did lead to an initial outbreak of COVID which was later traced and quelled.

 

The "second wave"  Victorian outbreak occurred due to international arrivals being quarantined in Melbourne hotel. It appears Dan Andrews oversaw the security arrangements in which he rejected an offer of police and army support, instead giving the work to a unionised  private security company.  This company then sub- contracted the job to private individuals through facebook and similar social media posts.( very professional ....Man Very Happy  ) The guards received virtually no training or PPE and it is alleged even had intimate relations with quarantining arrivals. Genomic testing has shown the Victorian outbreak can be traced back to this hotel incident rather than the Ruby Prioncess. It is during the Victorian second wave which Andrews is directly responsible for that the vast majority of Victorian deaths occurred..

 

I think my last post is a lot more factual than the dribble it responded to.

 

Spoiler
you may not believe it but I,m genuinely a swinging voter who DID give a first preference vote to Labor at the last election. I'm happy to explain why if you are interested

Spoiler
My posts are merely poking a bit of stick at the mind numbing, party parochialism expressed by so many here

Spoiler
A counter point of view if you will.........

Spoiler
Or to put it more bluntly.....I,m just taking the p!$$ out of moronic, rusted on Labor support in the face of overwhelming evidence of incompetence...............Man Wink
Spoiler
Someones got to do it....theres already plenty doing the same thing to the LNP so that ones already covered...........Man Very Happy

Major stuff up re hotel security, however a large number of deaths were among the elderly at nursing homes which is the responsibilty of the federal government. Didn't they learn anything after Newmarch?As far as the Ruby Princess debacle goes, it was also a failing of the feds, this time involving Border Force.
