Shadow Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally says Scott Morrison cannot be a 'wolf … acting all tough' to Novak Djokovic and then 'be a lamb' when it comes to his own party room.

Federal Labor is calling on the government to take the same hardline stance against their own MPs who have undermined the vaccine rollout that it did in its approach to Novak Djokovic's visa cancellation and deportation.Lawyers for the federal government had argued Djokovic was an "icon" to anti-vaccination groups

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke used his ministerial powers to cancel the 34-year-old's visa on health and good-order grounds. Shadow Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally said if the government and Prime Minister Scott Morrison were concerned about those who opposed COVID-19 vaccination, then they should also pull into line government MPs who had questioned the need for vaccine mandates.

"You can't be a wolf … acting all tough in front of Novak Djokovic and then be a lamb, weak and timid when you're standing in front of your own party room.

How dare you!!! He's the only number in his entire (and extended) family who earned income in pandemic years! They all put their hopes on him to feed them. HE'S THE BREAD WINNER IN HIS FAMILY!!!

I’m not sure I’m on board any more with this vaccination vitriol…when 84% of deaths are fully vaccinated, it doesn’t appear to be working.

KK worst premier ever, worst tv performance, w i sh they would parachute her so m eplace else

Notice they aren't even worried about those who are against the vaccine (which works so effectively as we know), it’s now “against vaccine MANDATES” “If you oppose fascism, you simply cannot be tolerated” AustraliaHasFallen

So unless you toe the party line you are to be silenced. Much like Penny Wong who foughr and voted against same sex marraige while in Government. Total lack of moral and ethical fibre in the ALP

This is what we are all up against KKeneally

Dictatorship.

Yes because the focus is seriously on their hypocrisy now.

'Government told!' By the Yankee loser ex premier. You mean, 'urged'.

It is an experimental gene altering drug that unlike all other vaccines does not work. Fact

I want to know who murrwison is

“Morrison rejects the comparison” ffs

KK is spot on Go get em KK !!!😁🤵🏾‍♂️😁😎

Keneally is a 'the solution is Gulags and torture' type of person.

Look at all the anti Vaxers still pushing rubbish 🤣🤣🤣

More deaths in NSW in 2022 to date due to the LetItRip Domicron approach than all of 2021. The scale of reckless stupidity by the Perrrottet government has to be experienced to be believed.

YvetteDAth Urgh! Please someone at the discover the active voice in headlines. *Who* told them?

Government Ministers need to disclose their financial interests in pharmaceuticals. That means all gifts, shares, donations etc. Seems those that bark vaccine mandate the loudest have financial interests in vaccines.

Propaganda of the Australian Brainwashing Corporation continues. Despite the narrative being increasingly questioned and the current surge in the highly vaccinated population - ABC is in denial. No insight. no context. No analysis. Shameful!

'Shadow Affairs Minister' sounds full of foreboding, unless someone forgot a word.

kristina;ky look after anthony and no worry for morisson he now what he dun.

Oh it’s Krissy telling ‘em is it? Shame. Nobody will take any notice.

tbh KKeneally I'm not surprised at the double standards. I would however like to see AustralianLabor take an actual stand on getting refugees out of indefinite punitive detention.

By KK - one of political life’s great losers. LOL. And she got a nice old smack down. One of our ministers of state if the ALP is elected. Scary thought IMO

Remember what Djokovic says: ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ Believe him. djokovic

Novak Djokovic has more integrity, conviction and courage than every politician in Australia who had to poll their next move. He’s a champion on and off the court.
