Scotty let them walk into the sunset with out any care given to the people of Australia he is an amateur
Curb your language SNA.
If any main stream media outfit is going to victim blame, it's Sky News: the trusted name in xenophobia. I am surprised you're not calling it the China Virus like Trump is.
Now PeterDutton_MP not only has a dozen asylum seeker deaths on his hands but an elderly lady's, as well.
That's irresponsible and reckless clickbait journalism. Shameful.
Liberal party fails again just like the bushfires
Fk off PrincessCruises. This is the second major COVID19 incident to go with a long history of gastro outbreaks. You deserve to collapse.
This is completely on federal govt. Border control is 100% a federal govt issue. Everything that happens as a result of persons disembarking or entering Australia without testing or at least having temperature taken is federal govt fault Everything
Yes unfortunately it won't stop there! RIP.🙏😱😱😱
No wonder people are panic buying 🧻, it’s to deal with ScottyFromMarketing & GladysB shit show 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks NSWHealth BradHazzard GladysB PeterDutton_MP AusBorderForce auspol
Fuhrer Dutton asleep at the wheel.
Can’t blame the passenger She might not have known she had it The cruise ship shouldn’t have docked , those who allowed it are to blame
SkyNews the gift that keeps giving misleading headlines - no one 'snuck' in - they were allowed to disembark! Go blame someone else
can someone please explain how there are so many ships still wanting to dock? How were they allowed to leave in the first place? How long have they been at sea? Why weren’t they stopped weeks ago when they are a known risk? unbelievable
Very poor choice of words using snuck in. The government allowed them to come in without testing them. Poor lady. May she rest in peace
I wonder what would have happened if they had been immediately hospitalized?
Ban cruise ships.
i don't want to be that guy but.... f$ that guy and or girl, putting everyones lives at risk
‘Snuck in’? How about ‘Federal Government fuckup’?
Poor choice of words.
A fucking big ship to have “snuck” into Australia. didntstopthebigboats
Snuck? Poor and distasteful use of words
How could the Ruby princess sneak n to Aus it is rather large to be able to sneak in it was the failure of the gov
Can you please stop saying 'snuck into' like the poor bastards completed some great escape...the incompetent government ALLOWED them to disembark and then ALLOWED them to disperse. Stop trying to demonise them when this is 100% ScottMorrisonMP's fault!
nsw health does have sth to answer for. hope there is no china style cover up.
“Snuck” in ? FFS, an elderly woman is dead and this is your click bait bullshit response. Bunch of hacks masquerading as “journalists”
Oh well shit happens.
WTF!! Why are cruise ships permitted to put the general population at greater risk of COVID-19 transmission by letting passengers disembark at all? Of course people want to 'get off' and 'go home' This shit is REAL and they should be allowed to go home AFTER medical clearance.
Snuck in? You mean let in by an incompetent government?
I find the use of the word ‘snuck’ judgemental and directs the blame to the individual who may not have known they were ill or if they were was not isolated by authorities when they should have been detected when leaving the ship.
Karma baby.
