Lambie to support royal commission into Ruby Princess fiasco | Sky News AustraliaTasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie says she would support a royal commission into the Ruby Princess cruise ship fiasco if preliminary investigations did not “do their job”. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Tuesday, Senator Lambie said she was not interested in “playing the blame game” when it came to the coronavirus outbreak in Tasmania but acknowledged it would have huge ramifications on the state. \n\n“Me playing the blame game isn’t going to help any of us, I’m more worried about the economic impact this is going to have,” she said. \n\n“We’re in a really tough economic situation right now and I’m too busy working out what I can possibly do or provide so when we come out of it we’re not so bad off. \n\n“If you don’t have small businesses running, you’ve got a pretty dead economy.” \n\nSenator Lambie said Tasmanians were coming to terms with lockdown measures and “what this is going to look like in the next six to eight weeks”. \n\n“We can’t have [lockdown measures] easing at the moment,” she said. JacquiLambie Is she going to cover the costs of a R/C? JacquiLambie Absolutely. Just like the “pink bats”. Only this time, the government was directly responsible for decisions. JacquiLambie Minister should resign and Royal Commission into NSW governance. Perennial problem with NSW.

Boris Johnson discharged from hospital after treatment for coronavirusBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson is discharged from a London hospital where he was treated in intensive care for COVID-19. I wonder if it will change his approach to / view of the NHS in any way. It could theoretically, but I guess he could just as easily have the impression that what he saw during his treatment was what every patient sees Can anyone confirm whether this is Boris on the bottom right of the 2002 AFL Grand Final. So God took Tim Brooke Taylor but the Satan left this turd of a human here.

Son of resident lashes Anglicare Sydney after aged care employee worked with COVID-19 symptomsA man fears his 87-year-old father was potentially exposed to COVID-19 in an aged care home where a healthcare worker did six shifts despite having coronavirus symptoms. These aged care homes use the cheapest labour that don't get paid their pittance if they don't turn up for work. So who is to blame? Do not blame a nurse or carer! Sadly these people are so underpaid. They need to work to support their family, and they do an amazing job for a pittance to take care of your parents / relatives! Do not let the govt use a carer to play the blame game!! MoreMoneyForCarers PayMore Let me guess - a casual worker with no sick leave entitlement?

'Please don't go to work if you are unwell': Health Minister's plea to aged care workersNSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has urged healthcare workers in aged care homes to not go to work if they feel unwell amid two more COVID-19 deaths. Just resign you useless minister And who is doing their work then? I mean he is right, but where's the strategy concerning the replacement of sick care workers? Most nations are already short on care workers. Maybe they were casuals? And could not afford to have a day off
