National Cabinet does not reach consensus on an Australia-wide agreement on how to manage internal borders, despite calls from Qantas and some within the Government's own ranks.

Mr Morrison announced the continuation of funding for several aged care initiatives, to the tune of $171 million.

Dr Lowe, who last week said states should not fret about their credit ratings while spending to stimulate their economies, urged more big spending on infrastructure measures.Mr Morrison said the advice to leaders had been for states and territories to take advantage of record-low interest rates and invest an additional $40 billion in capital works and infrastructure.

"The Governor is saying there needs to be an additional $40 billion on top of that by the states and territories over the next two years. But Mr Morrison said "on the balance of risk", the number of people allowed to return from overseas should remain at 4,000 per week."Right now, it is not the wise decision to lift those caps," he said.

Tough gig defending a proven idiot

The whole lot of government should resign! What a fucking debacle this government has been from day dot !! Morrison is the second worse PM AUSTRALIA HAS HAD !! Abbott being the worst ! The most incompetent lying corrupt load of idiots there has never been !! You all should resign

FatherBob How can you defend the indefencable

Hydroxychloroquine Should Be Available Over The Counter

Now Morrison is using the SA premier to start screaming for open borders. It's just pathetic. Let's wait and see what the hundreds of students being imported bring to SA.

ScottMorrisonMP you’ve been exposed so many times

He just said 'there needs to be a clear medical and SCIENTIFIC definition' But for years his been cutting funds to Science, Research, CSIRO!!! BUT NOW! He wants more science? Does he now believe and value science ? Talk about mixed messages!

Couldn’t believe that littleproud was saying today it will cause animal welfare issues. This from the bloke responsible for the live export attrocities just exposed in Indonesia and Jordan ... again.

I'm not a constitutional lawyer but doesn't the constitution say people cannot be stopped from crossing state borders and isn't the constitution the highest law in the land. So how can any state legislation/determination override the constitution and our right to cross border?

No plan.

Withdraw the ADF personnel ScottMorrisonMP. There aren't enough state police to enforce the border closures.

Murdoch's bum boy Scott Morrison should be shoved in a chaff bag and dumped out at sea. His parents must be deeply ashamed of him. Irony anyone?

No Border Plan.... No Aged Care Plan..... 😬 Such a divided, confused country 😳

'No border plan from National Cabinet' means premiers told him to fuck off. and he is still supporting clive palmer's attack on WA border.

Was never a chance. 😪

Governments have gone rogue and acting more like authoritarian corporate giants than actual democratically elected government. No signs of leadership and politicians are behaving like traitors. Government and media are people's current number one enemy!

They kept saying they had a plan to react. Didn't hear anything about plans to prevent issues in Aged Care. Higher staff to people ratios should have been mandated as a minimum. One person then can directly infect less people.

The federal government has lost control of the situation. That means they've lost control of the economy. Scott Morrison's woeful ineffectiveness is going to become more apparent as the months drag on.

Seriously ScottMorrisonMP how can you defend him? Unfortunately there is a history of incompetence within your government, a history of covering up the truth or you putting your “spin” on f*ckups. Show some leadership...for once

Look after the Aged Care Minister but fuck the aged.... good one...go the Sharkies ScottMorrisonMP

So why are you holding age pensioners accountable for the pandemic deficits! We are the people that can least afford it..........we need answers Scotty!

Come on!!!! Sort it out. Think about Australians and not just your political selfishness!!!!!

Our government is absolutely disgusting. Our big banks every department from healthcare to financial assistance during a crisis. They are a failure, a disappointment. I am so sick of them getting away with all the people’s lives they take, endanger and make harder. So over the BS

All pedofiles will get the death penalty

Sack them all. Where is my Westminster Democracy. Looks like the LNP has forgotten why they are there.

m8 I want to live to atleast 180 years of age, I don’t care if you partially freeze me or whatever machine I’m hooked upto, that’s just my time and that’s your responsibility

Colbek completely exposed the fact that they had not consulted at any meaningful level with aged care even after earlier aged care disasters. LNP are almost completely negligent.

Leaving aside the virusyoudontknowyouvegottillwetestyou, surely this is the end v of federation in Australia.

No border plans? Just winging it all the way with no plans whatever ..

when will he stick up for workers like he does his own incompetent ministers. His job is to serve the people not to protect incompetence in his ranks. The Australian people are who he works for not the LNP. Once PM he gave up the right to be partisan.

There are major issues with the states handling of covid in Aged Care. Our family has been exposed to how slow the state’s health department responds to a positive COVID case in an aged care facility. Shocking . Grill the head of Victoria’s DHHS now

ScottMorrisonMP you wouldn't be so forgiving if it was your family member. Thousands still suffering, potentially hundreds may pass away. Do something, accept accountability and act. auspol newscomauHQ abchobart hobart themercurycomau SkyNewsAust smh 7NewsCanberra

ArrestScottMorrison

Would be nicer to just remove the state governments, and state govt lines.

Border Plan needs to go into the same cabinet the Aged Care Plan

Another federal stooge/prop minister under smoke and mirrors who cannot answer basic questions about his portfolio!

As usual, all hot air, deflection from AGED CARE....

Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck unsure of nursing home COVID-19 death toll as extra funding announcedAged Care Minister Richard Colbeck, who has apologised for mistakes made in the aged care response to COVID-19, was unable to tell an inquiry how many nursing home residents have died. Republican Senators demand corrupt FDA chief SteveFDA explain why he removed the emergency use authorization for HCQ and a reason for why he denied a Henry Ford Health request for use despite their studies showing HCQ reduced COVID mortality rate by 79%. 'Play the issue & not the man'... The man is responsible! What a joke! Richard Colbeck at today's Senate Select Committee on COVID19 shows that criteria for getting LNP pre-selection doesn't include ability.
