It took some face book amateurs about 5 minutes to find out about Hawke / Morrison and the Hillsong connection police should be ashamed of themselves

What a load of bollocks

Politicians want the only guilty party to be on that Cruise ship or working for that line

WTF ARE YOU SHOUTING FOR....? FFS!

Just arrest Dutton already. He isn't a cop anymore so forget the blue brotherhood bullsht.

You can refuse a ship bc it has sick passengers. What is wrong with people. Just let them die. If your family was in there, then what? You’d want them off. Most selfish people in the world. Be prepared for them. Help them. AWFUL PEOPLE

The passenger took the virus on board.why are crew becoming sick NOW weeks after Hillsong infected passengers took the virus on board.. just like PeterDutton_MP brought it in by plane from USA.

wHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY, SICK PPLE ARE NOT CRIMINALS, THE FAILURE IS ON DUTTON

Making it look like an investigation. Don't ask the Handsome Cabin Boy...it's onshore you should be looking.

Can think of a couple of other entities they might like to raid.

No surprise with the raid really..... Magically find 'some' evidence to absolve the minister.

April 9 Nearly half of all deaths in Australia resulting from the corona­virus pandemic can be traced back to cruise ships. The Australian WB: Heads should roll today Gladys Peta Credlin: Hazzard “Mate, time to go.” Graham Richardson: staggering to me Hazzard still has a job

There must be an email/call from the head office of princess cruises telling the captain to just dock and let everyone off regardless?

NAPIER CITY COUNCIL LET THIS DESEASE RIDDEN SHIP ENTER OUR PORT TO SATISFY ITS BALANCE SHEET. IT CAME IN AFTER THE LOCKDOWN. NAPIER PEOPLE NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS OF KIRSTEN WISE. THIS HAPPENS TOO OFTEN WHERE THE BALANCE SHEET OVER RULES COMMON SENSE AND PROTECTION OF OUR PEOPLE

Oh, NOW you do something.

Pell brings Twitterworld to reflect on the nature of powerful institutions, how they protect each other. So does the Ruby Princess. There have been deaths & all signs point to ABF. Will a subordinate be promoted for taking all the blame (as Angus Taylor did)? Yes.

The question that should be asked why didn't New Zealand authorities warn Australia border authorities that the Ruby Princess cruise ship at first was prohibited from docking Napier due to fears of the spread of Covid-19.

Chief Fuller: where are the passengers?

Ruby Princess fiasco ‘starts and stops’ with the NSW Health Minister | Sky News AustraliaNSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay says responsibility for the Ruby Princess cruise ship debacle “starts and stops with” NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard.\n\nMr Hazzard has refused to take responsibility for allowing the cruise ship to dock and for passengers to be released onto the streets of Sydney and allowed to travel more widely, across the country.\n\n“When you have 14 people who have died, more than 600 cases of COVID-19 and decisions that were made largely conducted in secrecy' an apology and explanation is necessary, Ms McKay said. \n\n“It just comes back to ministerial responsibility,” she told Sky News host Peter Credlin. \n\nWhile the police commissioner said Mr Hazzard had no operational responsibility the state's system of government dictates “that he is responsible,” she said. \n\nMs Credlin said “a criminal investigation could find that Brad Hazzard did not break the law,” however his handling of the situation “wouldn’t pass the pub test”. \n\nImage: Getty\n Labor trying to deflect from the real culprits like usual, Liberal & Labor on the same team. This RubyPrincess shenanigans proves Brad Hazzard is out if his depth(no pun intended). Actually should be Federal and State leaders

PM tight-lipped on Ruby Princess | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to be drawn on the Ruby Princess debacle when asked during Question Time on Wednesday. \n\nDeputy Labor leader Richard Marles asked if, due to the government’s then-regulations on cruise ships, he took “any responsibility for the Ruby Princess fiasco”. \n\nMr Morrison refused to be drawn and referred the House to a previous statement the ABF. \n\n'The member would be very well aware of the statement that was made by the ABF commissioner, Michael Outram, on this matter on 25 March 2020, which set out very clearly that the actions and responsibility of the Australian Border Force in relation to that matter ... and I thank that addresses his question specifically and completely,” he said. \n\nImage: Getty ScottMorrisonMP And this is why Parliament should continue to sit. ScottMorrisonMP and this gov need to be held accountable and must be available to answer questions. We dont live in a CommunistCountry ....yet! auspol accountability ScottMorrisonMP Yep just like the Sports Rorts enquiry wouldn't answer questions what does that tell you. ScottMorrisonMP

Infected Ruby Princess passengers transmit virus to 19 people ashoreThe impact of the decision to allow the cruise ship to dock is revealed in the number of people subsequently infected by its passengers. This is an important article. If the NSW Health officials had their time around again they would have still likely got people off the boat, even with test results, but in a more orderly fashion so social distancing was better adhered to on their way home to isolation. People forget that the number of secondary cases on the boat would have exploded if all the uninfected passengers were to have remained on the boat for an extended period of time. This would have had a multiplier effect for their contacts. People forget the Diamond Princess That boat should be scuttled
