THIS. Every time I hear someone say “ah he’s not done too badly” I want to shake them. Literally the only reason he took action on the pandemic was- and I will say this as many times as I have to- because he was dragged kicking and fkn screaming to the point.

He showed ZERO leadership. The state premiers - all of them, regardless of party affiliation - stepped up to fill the void. Dandrews (ALP) and yeah, Gladys B. (LNP) held the line because we were the ones getting hit hardest by covid19.

No surprise: Vic and NSW are our most populous and centralized states. People usually fly into Sydney or Melbourne. We fought tooth and fkn nail to get this thing controlled. We closed state borders around the country. We imposed strict lockdowns.

All we ever heard from Scotty from marketing was “open up!” and “Australia needs to get back to work and that’s why we’re cutting Jobseeker!” because when you have 8 unemployed people for every available position, apparently MOTIVATION is the problem.

Apparently throwing kids into poverty is the best way to make sure that... what, the eight people can SHARE the job? What is the fkn reasoning behind this? “Go back to work that doesn’t exist or starve”?

And meanwhile at every step of the way, while Melbourne was making its slow excruciating way down through daily case numbers from over 700 to double digits and then to single digits-
“Open up!” says federal. “You’re being too strict! You’re incompetent!”

We got it to *zero*. Our Chief Health Officer took maybe three days off. Our public health department staff were clocking 90 hour weeks. What people went through here is something that the rest of the country cannot understand.

Our state premier gave 120 consecutive daily press conferences. He did not take off a single fkn day, and the man’s not undeserving of criticism, but he was there for us and with us every single FUCKING day and we NEEDED that.

The only thing that kept me sane was the knowledge that someone was *holding the fucking line*.
I *needed* that.
Federal were not. They abandoned us. Federal were saying “we don’t care if you fucking die as long as we get more money.”

Our fucking slimeweasel of a prime minister was NOT there for us. We were NOT in this together. He and his cabinet of narcissistic oxygen thieves literally tried to fucking kill us for political gain.

Watching him take credit for our success - our fucking sacrifices - when he blocked and berated and made it all so much harder - makes me sick and FKN FURIOUS
I’ve seen: “ah it’s easy to judge, who knows what pressure they’re under?”
Oh, cry me a FKN river.

You want pressure? Look around the country and you’ll see the state governments and the people on the ground.
Still want pressure? Look at the hospitals. The medical staff. Support staff.
That’s some fucking pressure.

And I say again what I’ve said before:
You signed up to lead a country. How about you FUCKEN LEAD IT. How about you give a shit about the people and the land, about the fires and the racism and the FUCKING PLAGUE.

If that’s too hard, if the responsibilities and sacrifices of RUNNING THE FUCKING COUNTRY are a LITTLE too much for you, maybe this isn’t the job for you.
