I’m not sure if ScottMorrisonMP has set foot in a school recently, but there’s not a lot of education happening when over 50% of the schools pupils are away! Not to mention the anxiety that is being caused by the inconsistent messages amongst staff and students!
ScottMorrisonMP & GladysB will rue the day from not closing schools & consistently not valuing the lives of school students & staff. You will not be forgiven!
There’s no need to repeat something that we already know. Unfortunately, that should not be the case but it’s understandable. Either way, at or not at school, everyone should take the right measures and precautions to fight this virus
“Can parents bloody cool it about schools? If you don't want to send your kids don't, support teachers but don't stop nurses going to work or disadvantaged kids from staying safe when they live in abusive homes. So much judgement and hysteria.” Brilliant from samanthamaiden 👏

Flattening the ‘coronavirus curve’ can be done without ‘sending Australia broke’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says unlike the Labor Party, the Morrison government “is cognisant of not totally destroying our economy (and) our way of life” and won’t impose Italy-style restrictions “unless they absolutely have to”. \n\nMr Gleeson said, “during this terrible virus crisis, it’s been refreshing to see the bipartisanship from both sides of politics”. \n\nHowever, on Wednesday, Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese had provided his harshest criticism, to date, of the Morrison government’s approach towards the coronavirus. \n\nMr Albanese told reporters he believed Scott Morrison was keeping “politics in mind” throughout his coronavirus plans. \n\nMr Gleeson said the Labor leader, along with his “sidekick Chris Bowen” had taken “pot shots” at the Morrison government on the issue. \n\n“Flattening the curve can be done without sending the country broke,” Mr Gleeson said. \n\nImage: Getty \n Yeah but how many dead. Coz not too many people are listening to him at the moment. Does ScottyFromMarketing at least call you in the morning after you put out? 5 days away from “absolutely” have to. Why wait. You just make the task of mopping up more than twice as big lock us down
