New South Wales Labor leader Jodi McKay says the Berejiklian government should apologise for all the serious mistakes made on their part in the Ruby Princess debacle.
The inquiry into the debacle revealed multiple errors contributing to the disaster saying all 2,700 passengers should have been tested for COVID-19 before being allowed to disembark from the ship. “I think the Premier should indicate that she will accept all the recommendations within the report,” Ms McKay told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “It’s time we got an apology.” Image: News Corp Australia

NSW Premier acted 'too slowly' initiating Ruby Princess inquiry | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Labor leader Jodi McKay has praised Brett Walker SC for his ability to pull together a report on the ill-fated Ruby Princess despite the “rushed” nature of the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Ruby Princess. \n\nThe findings of the inquiry are due to be handed down today to the NSW government following an investigation into why 2,700 passengers were allowed to disembark the cruise ship in Sydney on March 19 without undergoing coronavirus testing. \n\nMs McKay told Sky News Premier Gladys Berejiklian acted too slowly in launching an investigation into the debacle as she launched a police investigation first. \n\n“That wasn’t going to get to the heart of protocols being breached,” she said. \n\nShe said Labor supported the push for an inquiry as it was “one of the most significant public health episodes that we’ve ever had here in NSW”. \n\n“This is not about necessarily blaming different agencies, it’s about understanding who is responsible and ensuring this never ever happens again,” she said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia JodiMcKayMP Yes Jodi, at least Brett Walker SC is getting answers and accountability for the Ruby Princess debacle.

Passenger reveals how Ruby Princess cruise 'ruined our lives' | Sky News AustraliaRuby Princess Passenger Fred Jackson and wife Julie are still suffering serious health complications after testing positive to coronavirus following the ill-fated Ruby Princess cruise. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of breathlessness and we get very tired, we still haven’t got our taste back yet and we’re continually having to seek medical examinations,” Mr Jackson said. \n\nMr Jackson told Sky News he and his wife were subjected to the “trauma” of constant medical checks since disembarking the ship on March 19. \n\n“The doctors have indicated that it will take probably up to 12 months before we get back to where we were before we got on the cruise,” he said. \n\nHe said the medical trauma was worse still for his wife Julie, who had a pre-existing medical condition. \n\nMr Jackson and his wife have joined a class action against the owners of the cruise liner over its handling of the outbreak. \n\n“I’m angry at the cruise line that they went ahead with the cruise… they should have stopped the cruise, but they wanted our money, that’s how I look at it,” he said. \n\n“They’ve ruined our lives.” \n\nImage: Getty Moved on from DanielAndrewsMP have we?
