The Herald's View: Senior government leaders, including Prime Minister Scott Morrison, have a moral responsibility to tell Craig Kelly and George Christensen to stop airing dangerous misinformation

of “having blood on their hands” for thwarting distribution of the drugs. He has also described the wearing of masks as “child abuse” inciting people to breach the law on mask wearing in NSW.

Tolerating the spread of misinformation from within your own party is terrible for a government that has so far done a good job containing the virus and desperately wants to be trusted on public health. If the efficacy of a vaccine is seen as simply a matter of opinion, for instance, some people might decide against being immunised and put their trust in Mr Christensen’s quack remedies instead.

Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly, a public servant constrained by his position, said it was up to MPs to decide what they said. He did not name Mr Kelly, so as not to give prominence to opinions which were not scientifically based.

ScuMo won't pull anyone into line. He's threatened. He's a medical & climate science denier. In a global dominionist cult. Worship money & hate the poor. Albo's a decent human. Vote for the best first, but make sure you vote and put Liberal last.

They are both serial liars so nobody expects anything different

Craig, you’re in my electorate. I’ve always voted for you. I’m a Liberal voter. Not now mate. Labor’s getting mine now. Traitor

Given they say size matters, does each of these chaps get two votes?

Is there a reason both of these men appear extremely overweight? I hope for health reasons they are listening more to health professionals than to extremists.

He does have this responsibility. As a leader, he's actinglike a bad parent and refusing to discipline his children ScottMorrisonMP

Moral, now there's a quaint concept for the LNP.

Good article. Jelly and Christensen are spreading dangerous bullshit, Trump style. Morrison looks very weak when he lets them get away with it.

Does Christensen promise Filipino brides for all fat ugly aggro ignorant stupid men in order to get elected.. I mean how thick is Dawson Areas like this cannot claim isolation as the excuse for ignorance and the aggression Big Boy George portrays. auspol He is UnfitForOffice

ellisoconnor Something about neckless politicians...

Was it my imagination or did we get an article recently about how 2020 was the year that Australia regained trust in their politicians? AuspolSoCorrupt

That the Morrison Government has no issue with Kelly misinforming the public tells us a lot about their commitment to the truth. Now the deputy PM says facts are contentious. Hard then to trust a word they say.

neric16 Moral responsibility? Really

ItsBouquet These two look terribly unhealthy and unlikely to survive the virus. They need to be better informed in case they get it.

Good, they are useless as politicians yet they can say what ever they want.

ItsBouquet About time, but will he

It’s funny, the rona would probably finish both of them, looking at their fine figures.

Nice one SMH - how about not support them in preselection next time around, announce it now. Hughes Can Do Better.

Why are they so morbidly obese

ScottMorrisonMP has no morals.

The words - moral responsibility - is the problem. They have neither

These two need to be stopped, but Scumo won’t do anything about it. However, if you take health guidance spruiked from an overweight past furniture salesman & an overweight failed publisher then there’s no helping you.

The facts are clear. Morrison clearly also believes the same conspiracy theories and quasi-medical fallacies as these two members of his government. By making a comment on their behaviour he would be objecting to his own beliefs.

You should know this Govt TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything, so why would you expect them to accept it for these 2 morons.?

You tell ‘em SMH. They are really going to listen. You better stick to LNP fundraising. Or if you are going to write about this, do some journalism and investigate why the government is pushing lies. What ever happened to Fairfax?

Since when senior government leaders - including Morrison - do anything even resembling 'moral responsibility'?

Dumb and Dumber

Sydney maybe you should focus on thee weather forecast.

Looking at these politicians I’m wondering why Australia can’t produce good quality leaders who would represent Australia better. None of any of the leaders have such qualification - well educated, compassionate, humble, intelligent & smart with charisma. What a shame.

3wombats I take the opinion that whilst ever the LNPCrimeFamily is made up of folks like Craig, labor will have a supreme chance of getting back to running the country. Don’t do a thing Scotty. Not a damned thing.

No it doesn't! It comes from your stupid latte journos with your scare tactics!...stop changing the story!

Won't happen

“ senior government leaders including Prime Minister Scott Morrison should go much further in distancing themselves from Mr Kelly and Mr Christensen. They have a moral responsibility to tell Mr Kelly and Mr Christensen to stop airing dangerous misinformation”. LNPfail

Two wastes of space

Your view is terrible on such issue. At least Craig and George did some research in their spare time.

More people should be reporting their posts as spreading dangerous lies.

You mean dangerous minimalist information like the rot published and spewed on Murdoch Media and SKY NEWS LIVE HERES THE POT CALLING THEVKETTLE BLACK! See the pics below!

Don’t let obesity stop you from lecturing others 🤷🏼‍♂️

If you did your job as journalists you'd see it isn't misinformation. Go and look into hcq and ivermectin and why it is being suppressed. auspol

MSMWatchdog2013 Does Scotty actually have any morals 🤔

Everything those morons say should be accompanied by a health warning.

You got the Govt you told everyone to vote for.

Looks like Craig Kelly Managed to switch on his iPad. Here comes trouble! covidiot

You’re a newspaper why are you telling people to do anything FO!

BuT fReEdOm Of SpEeCh!!!!!!!!

LOL...Moral responsibility...hahahaha

ScottMorrisonMP M_McCormackMP PaulFletcherMP and GregHuntMP have all failed to denounce CraigKellyMP and GeorgeChristensen. The Coalition is controlled by the extreme right wing. No leadership from the leaders. What has happened to Australia?

Thank you. It is also just plain evil to frame our health care experts as enemy of the people, dispicable.

I could see Kelly inciting insurgents to destroy parliament house if he actually had his own cult. He's a fringe operator though so all he can do is behave like a suicide bomber to his party.

Slap them with a wet lettuce 🥬

Senior government? Scott Morrison? Morals? Responsibilities ? Craig Kelly? George Christensen?

And yet you published a childish puff piece by DaveSharma decrying Twitter’s ‘silencing’ of Trump?

Why is it that these opinionated right wing conservative white males always seem to be so obese....

$200 million federal government plan for chemists to deliver free COVID jabsThe Morrison government will enlist thousands of chemists across the country to roll out coronavirus vaccines.

Scott Morrison's missteps fuel frustration in his own ranksNot long ago, a once-in-a-century flood might have been enough to drown out whatever scandal was oozing out of Parliament House. But this moment is different, writes political reporter James Glenday. He is a lost FATHER. Missteps? Like he chose the wrong colour for curtains in his cubby house? Was not long thinking, this morning, who wars going to begin the ArgieBargie.
