Labor urges Morrison to self-isolate after Dutton's positive COVID-19 test | Sky News Australia

Labor is accusing Prime Minister Scott Morrison of double standards saying he must self-isolate after Peter Dutton tested positive to COVID-19. Cabinet was declared safe despite Peter Dutton meeting with the whole cabinet, including Prime Minister Scott Morrison, on Tuesday. Medical professionals advised no one else needs to be isolated or tested because at that stage the minister was yet to show symptoms.

Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen has urged the prime minister to self-isolated because "it is not appropriate that there is any double standards at play". Peter Dutton said he woke up with a temperature and sore throat on Friday morning and immediately contacted Queensland health authorities. Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka was in contact with Minister Dutton when he visited the country this week and she confirmed she will work from home as precaution.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP is a joke!

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP And AustralianLabor is right.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP ALP are trying desperately to find relevance. To be a leader one need many qualities but integrity, courage and optimism is a must. They don’t have any of those. Why would anyone consider following someone who has no agenda, is fearful and negative. Wake up Australia!

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP 10 years should do it

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP They are our medical advisors now

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Labour should self-isolate until they have something positive to say.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP If the govt and I would assume the opposition knew about this virus in January why the hell wasn't action taken against China then. Very very poor actions taken on this by the govt and we suffer financially and with our health and the country pays financially as well.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP The most important procedure of controlling the virus is to test all suspicious cases. We must learn from Wuhan’s mistake. In very early stage, Wuhan didn’t even fully understand the virus. But we do not have enough test kits for screening test.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Well that is what there policy says. Have they actually read it? Doesn’t it apply to them because they are special?

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP They’ve both always been infected with stoopid?

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP I gather no Labor pollies have had any contact with PD recently otherwise they would also need to self-isolate.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP I wish AlboMP would self immolate

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP PD has infected the cabinet, must be an international conspiracy?

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Lock him in a cupboard.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Grubby bastards, is there nothing too low

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP They’re wrong (which is predictable as night following day). The chief medical officer said it was not necessary. They are pathetic

VeritasEver ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Thankfully Scott & Pete had the foresight to open Christmas Island. They can now put the country first and run cabinet from there for two weeks.

rabbit66672 ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP “Coronavirus pandemic: Dutton was not contagious in cabinet: Chief medical officer.” One of our principles has been to follow the medical advice both in policy &action & personally. Chris Bowen is playing a dangerous game in giving phoney medical advice.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Pentecostal Scott Morrison is out there infecting hundreds of people with coronavirus...

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Could Labor be any more obnoxious and short-sighted? Not politicising the virus...bollocks

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Absolutely. And why are they saying they don't think Dutton could have infected them Doesn't make any sense.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Another double standard is the turnaround of Dutton’s test results. It only took a few hours, “normal” people are waiting up to 72 hours.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Correct with out pay like rest Australians have to what’s good goose is good gander

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Labor thinks this, labor says that, your starting to turn into ABC 🙈

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP .... Scott Morrison is a robot , the real one is still in Hawaii !

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP no one listening to Albo

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Labor doing it's best to create chaos at a time when we need to pull together

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP If Labor want the PM to self isolate then maybe the Parliament should completely shut down. All Labor wants to do is cause havoc and take over parliament. If they are so concerned don’t go to the next sitting.

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Incarcerated sounds better..

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP Wouldn't it make more sense, if the PM just had a test ?

ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP They are trying the same sh on Trump

Dutton was not contagious in cabinet: Chief Medical OfficerThe Chief Medical Officer says no members of cabinet were in close contact with Peter Dutton within 24 hours of him becoming infectious. 'I can assure you that Minister Dutton developed his symptoms yesterday morning.' The CMO's assurances don't assure me... 14 day prodrome = BULLSHIT Regardless it’s a virus not a bacteria. It will remain dormant in the body until active in cells that’s when symptoms begin.
