It’s “appalling” to quarantine people who may have contracted the coronavirus on Christmas Island according to ShoebridgeMLC

It’s “appalling” to quarantine people who may have contracted the coronavirus on Christmas Island according to NSW Greens politician David Shoebridge. Australians who are trapped in China in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak have the option of taking a chartered flight out of the country as long as they spend two weeks in quarantine on Christmas Island to ensure they do not have the potentially deadly disease.

Around 600 Australians are thought to be stuck in the Hubei province, which is the epicentre of the virus that has so far claimed the lives of 213 people and infected nearly 9,100 individuals in China alone. The government has defended its decision, with Home Affairs minister telling reporters earlier this week Christmas Island is the only facility that can accommodate “many hundreds” of cases.

ShoebridgeMLC What’s appalling about it? What’s his alternative?

ShoebridgeMLC SHY says nothing, this goose opens its stupid mouth.

ShoebridgeMLC The greens have no credibility. Shoebridge is useless, he an oxygen thief.

ShoebridgeMLC If these people like shoebridge had a brain,they'd be dangerous,ffs,absolutely not a single molecule of common sense.

ShoebridgeMLC Quarantine them at his house

ShoebridgeMLC Why are people voting for these idiots? Next election you know what to do. Show them the exit door .

ShoebridgeMLC Trust the greens to take this view.

ShoebridgeMLC The Greens. One disaster after another. They should be deregistered.

ShoebridgeMLC Cos the greens have been oh so right in the past

ShoebridgeMLC No it's not it's being safe

ShoebridgeMLC its only for 14 days ffs

ShoebridgeMLC Nonsense. Let the medical people decide. If Xmas Island is best then why not?

ShoebridgeMLC Better to be kind and dead than coldly logical and alive.

ShoebridgeMLC We vote Governments into office too make decisions. It's made, get over it.

ShoebridgeMLC What’s a actually appalling is the fact that the Greens are willing to risk the health of all Australians . But we shoibe surprised really, it’s typical.

ShoebridgeMLC It would be appalling not to quarantine them.

ShoebridgeMLC Such overwhelming support....you are the minority so if you are so concerned go volunteer to treat people on Christmas Island !! CommonSense prevails....🤨 Your group of misfits haven't got a clue about real life seriously 🥱

ShoebridgeMLC Would be more appalling if they didn't and the number of infected people increased. Prevention is always better than a cure.

ShoebridgeMLC Bring them to Sydney or Melbourne makes a lot more sense

ShoebridgeMLC The reason he has this point of view is quite hard to argue with. It’s because he’s an absolute lunatic!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

ShoebridgeMLC CoronaVirusBeatUp forget australiaisburning forget senbmckenzie and her sportsrorts

ShoebridgeMLC Message to the Greens ... sit down, calm down, shut up and go play in the local trees.

ShoebridgeMLC Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

ShoebridgeMLC Yeah bring em all here to share the love! Get a grip. Its not the bloody gulag

ShoebridgeMLC Why It is a perfectly normal action. Why does the media allow this opinion when the other 90% of people agreeing with this decision are given no say?

ShoebridgeMLC You are a DH ShoebridgeMLC

ShoebridgeMLC Put them in the green politicians houses for the 14 days

ShoebridgeMLC Again, It could be a 5-star resort with the only cure for the virus on Earth and The Greens would still prefer the government loaded their spit into crop-dusters and spray the Melbourne CBD. CollegeMarxists

ShoebridgeMLC Leftards will destroy this world

ShoebridgeMLC No its not. It is how you survive an epidemic and not kill everyone else. ScottyFromMarketting and the LNPfail are not doing there jobs in the first place by BANNING ALL FLIGHTS TO/FROM CHINA. PERMANENTLY!!

ShoebridgeMLC Nah it makes sense. Why rising infecting a mass population

ShoebridgeMLC Quarantine is quarantine be appalled all you like, the more self contained and remote the better.

KaushalyaFem ShoebridgeMLC What's even more appalling is landing a plague plane at Darwin, and endangering first nation communities up here with another highly infectious disease. Land it at RAAF Tindal Katherine where it's more safe.

ShoebridgeMLC Well the politician can then house them and have them then if he thinks it’s unfair. We really dint want an outbreak here in Aus.

ShoebridgeMLC Only until people start dying like flies over here

ShoebridgeMLC

ShoebridgeMLC It’s a waist of time to comment on Shoebridge’s comments

ShoebridgeMLC Yawn 🥱

ShoebridgeMLC And also to those crazy doctors, the Australian Medical Association. Oh wait, they may be who we should be listening to..?!

ShoebridgeMLC Tell him to go boil his head.

ShoebridgeMLC Perhaps Shoebridge should offer his home, must have a spare bedroom or two!

ShoebridgeMLC Why?

ShoebridgeMLC Cool, how many are going to be stay at ShoebridgeMLC ‘s house?

ShoebridgeMLC The Greens are idiots!!! Okay they don’t want them on Christmas Island so maybe the government should quarantine them all in the homes of the Greens MPs.

ShoebridgeMLC Oh yes, very smart, just bring it to our country to spread to 25 million people, greens party are nothing but enemies to Australia, we have a diabolical infection in our country, the Greens party

ShoebridgeMLC Just shows how irrelevant the Greebs are. What is the govt. supposed to do! Coronavirus is now declared a pandemic by WHO.

ShoebridgeMLC Cue outrage politics

ShoebridgeMLC My uncle was quarantined for months in the 1950's with TB. He would have loved to be with his family and friends but back then people weren't all about their 'rights', they put the community ahead of themselves. The Greens should be encouraging people to do the right thing.

ShoebridgeMLC Yeah, you’re right, spread it! Much better idea

ShoebridgeMLC Ask ShoebridgeMLC if he’d like to house them at his house.

ShoebridgeMLC Then your house perhaps?

ShoebridgeMLC My bio pics are Christmas Island. I lived there 1968-82. It is my spiritual home. Used to be the richest phosphate mine in the world, greatly benefitting Aus/NZ farmers and the public. Happy times. Now it is the byword for a gulag. Tampa, drownings, Biloela, Coronavirus, etc. 😰

ShoebridgeMLC So David, so according to you we allow these people to spread a deadly virus amongst us I’m amazed you have the intellect to be a politician!!

ShoebridgeMLC Why do Sky always roll out the village idiots with no credibility

ShoebridgeMLC Typical greens.

ShoebridgeMLC How many of these pics does the politician want in Australia ?

ShoebridgeMLC this reminds me of the isis people trying to come back…

ShoebridgeMLC I would do it without hesitation

ShoebridgeMLC House them with those retarded politicians. I am sure they will love to take them into their homes.

ShoebridgeMLC Yeah stop them off in the middle of Sydney. That would be much better.

ShoebridgeMLC Because it is completely rational to take 600 people who potentially could be infected with a pandemic virus and disperse them amongst the general population.

ShoebridgeMLC The bloody greens ARE the virus!

ShoebridgeMLC There is always the wannabe dogooder who is not thinking logically. 🙄

ShoebridgeMLC What does he recommend then, AirBnB 🤷‍♂️

ShoebridgeMLC Perhaps this Shoebridge would like to be responsible for infecting everyone us us?

ShoebridgeMLC No it's not. Christmas Island is a quarantine station after all. As long as appropriate medical facilities are there on standby. We must prevent the spread of disease & keep people well & safe from a contagious, still unknown illness. It's 2 weeks only. BeKind

ShoebridgeMLC

ShoebridgeMLC Yes it is, especially when passengers arriving on flights from China will just get to do their touristy sh*t while they potentially infect everyone they come in contact with. They should all be quarantined you twats.

ShoebridgeMLC Yeah because it’s soo much better for them to come straight into the country and potentially infect more people?! 🧐

ShoebridgeMLC Maybe scomo should build a hospital in a week eith his own bare hands, like China did. But even then, they'd find fault with it. Theres nothing wrong with Christmas island They're just salty scomo won the election... We can all see them...

ShoebridgeMLC Where do you propose that they go?

ShoebridgeMLC Splendid idea. Wish we could.

ShoebridgeMLC Surely the good of the many come first. Should we have left them stranded in China?

But now the PM is loading up the place with coronavirus, I reckon there'll be queues for the next plane back. Australia is truly a great and well run country! Well done us!
