Prime Minister ScottMorrisonMP has a moral responsibility to tell two of his MPs to stop airing dangerous misinformation about coronavirus | EDITORIAL auspol

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.Mr Christensen, also a hydroxychloroquine spruiker, has attacked COVID-19 control measures recently by claiming there is no evidence that people without symptoms can transmit the disease. If only that were true.Mr Kelly or Mr Christensen publicly or put pressure on them to shut up.

The federal government's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, a public servant constrained by his position, said it was up to MPs to decide what they said. He did not name Craig Kelly so as not to give prominence to opinions that were not scientifically based. There may be some good public health reasons for the Chief Medical Officer to ignore the two MPs. It is pointless to get into an argument with people who do not care about facts since it creates the false impression that there are two valid sides to the question. After all, Craig Kelly’s Facebook timeline is almost as full of climate denialism as it is of unfounded medical theories.

Mr Morrison and Mr McCormack have plenty of levers to encourage MPs to follow an official line. They distribute talking points to keep them on script in other areas of much less importance. They should make it clear to Mr Kelly and Mr Christensen that their views are a threat to the health of Australians. And they should take action if those views continue to be repeated.

It's not a matter of censorship. It's the basic expectation that even our less sensible backbenchers exercise a modicum of common sense on matters of national wellbeing.editor, Gay Alcorn, writes an exclusive newsletter for subscribers on the week's most important stories and issues.

GLComputing ScottMorrisonMP Hydrocychloroquine and Invermectin work better than any of the vaccines

ScottMorrisonMP And what is your responsibility? It is to put a balanced informed factually accurate report based on facts not biased opinions

ScottMorrisonMP , c’mon, ScottMorrisonMP wouldn’t recognise a moral even if it was attached to a firie’s hose!

drkerrynphelps ScottMorrisonMP Unless it is hurting him politically, I don’t think morality is part of Mr Morrison’s decision making for doing anything. With a few exceptions, the idea that politicians make decisions based on morality is a thing of the past unfortunately. We are seeing this in the USA.

drkerrynphelps ScottMorrisonMP Isn’t part of the problem there are people out their stupid enough to believe him?

drkerrynphelps ScottMorrisonMP Im not sure that Morrison or his deputy care much about it. There is no accountability with this government at all.

ScottMorrisonMP Finally!

ScottMorrisonMP Why are we letting these idiots express their opinions of something they know nothing about Sack them and let the experts get on with their work!

ScottMorrisonMP If ScoMo had brains , he would be dangerous .

ScottMorrisonMP 😅😅😅😅 that's a good one moral responsibility !!

ScottMorrisonMP And AustralianLabor has a moral responsibility to tell DanielAndrewsMP to let Victorians return hone from interstate. He has abandoned those he is elected and paid to serve. Not a leader, but a heartless dictator

ScottMorrisonMP cancelfairfax

ScottMorrisonMP Freeeeeeedommmmmmmmm!!!!! Goiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggggggg!!!!!Freeeeeeeeeee.......Speeeeeeccccchhhhhhhh.....going!!!!! Why

ScottMorrisonMP He has to have a moral compass to find his moral responsibility. It was last seen before his government sent an innocent family into a detention centre on Christmas Island. When interviewed about this God replied: ‘I knew him when he was a kid but I haven’t heard from him since.’

ScottMorrisonMP Great MPs who have the guts to say how it is.

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP Covid was downgraded to nothing more than a common Flu on the WHO website last March. Australian Government are evil corrupt politicians and unconstitutional they will be jailed. Release the parliamentary pedofile susspression order

ScottMorrisonMP 'Mr Christensen, also a hydroxychloroquine spruiker'. Well a lot of major Australian hospitals have used it to treat patients and treated it. Like the Alfred hospital in Melbourne. Guess they are 'spruikers' .

ScottMorrisonMP I think Morrison has a moral obligation-to bring Australians back from overseas

ScottMorrisonMP But he won't. Moral responsibility and scott morrison are 2 paths that never cross.

ScottMorrisonMP Love them as they tell the truth

ScottMorrisonMP Yea he should. So should the Nationals leader and the QLD LNP leader.

ScottMorrisonMP But what if the PM is amoral to begin with🤔

ScottMorrisonMP Morrison needs to get read of his Brian dead ministers and back benchers. They are out of control. and more of a danger to our Sovereignty than China ever was.

ScottMorrisonMP Same can be said of most media .

Better4Hughes ScottMorrisonMP When was the last time that Morrison showed any evidence that he has any idea of what is right and wrong.

ScottMorrisonMP Hydroxychloroquine has been used safely for 70 + years. Its main handicap is that its patent has expired and its very cheap and is manufactured everywhere. Big drug companies and their captive medical associations therefore see it as an economic threat and tell porkies about it.

ScottMorrisonMP We don’t pay any attention to Scotty, so why should they?

ScottMorrisonMP ➡️➡️➡️ ,,, what 🙄

MSMWatchdog2013 ScottMorrisonMP iE Craig Kelly

ScottMorrisonMP Shove you morals up your arse. Your morals are the tge motivation for sin.

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP It’s a free country!!!

MSMWatchdog2013 ScottMorrisonMP Scott Morrison DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORALS!

ScottMorrisonMP However, this well-researched view this is well worth reading .....

ScottMorrisonMP 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

ScottMorrisonMP Those 2 boneheads need to go. They are trump wannabes

Better4Hughes ScottMorrisonMP Asking Scotty to do anything moral is but much

ScottMorrisonMP Walks like Trump... Talks like Trump. So must at least be a affiliated Republican. Nonsense and bullshit. Ask him to wear a mask.

ScottMorrisonMP By looking at Kelly and Christensen, I don’t think anyone should follow their advices in regards to HEALTH! 🍔🍕🍟 vs 🥗🍤🍏🥬🥦🍋🍊🍓🍇🍉🍅🌶🥑🍍🧄🥕

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP Kelly shouldn't receive any vaccine. Make him.take the “cures” he believes in. Depart of Health says hydroxychloroquine has serious risks to patients i.e. cardiac toxicity ( leading to heart attacks), irreversible eye damage + severe depletion of blood sugar (leading to coma).

slsandpet ScottMorrisonMP ScottMorrisonMP doesn't know the meaning of moral responsibility.

slsandpet ScottMorrisonMP Better4Hughes And what of his moral responsibility to ensure that one of HIS MPs provides decent, fair and effective representation for his electorate? What about us?

slsandpet ScottMorrisonMP He also has a responsibility to place half of Cabinet on a diet!

ScottMorrisonMP Meanwhile:

ScottMorrisonMP He agrees with them, he's even worse than them but knows he can't say it.

ScottMorrisonMP When did published, peer reviewed science based studies become 'conspiracy theories' and misinformation?

ScottMorrisonMP I agree the idiots from the backbench (and possibly others closer to the front) need to be admonished, and likewise AlboMP & Bowenchris could stop airing dangerous and misinformation about vaccines

ScottMorrisonMP Prime Minister ScottMorrisonMP has a moral responsibility to tell people just listen to the FAKE NEWS

ScottMorrisonMP We need the SCIENCE to back up living under stupid restrictions. Anyone can say what they want!

ScottMorrisonMP Alleging Morrison has morals.. That is a tall allegation!!

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP He has a professional responsibility, as do the two MPs.

ScottMorrisonMP Unless the mcdonalds client thinks that too? Cant make them say its misinformation if he thinks its just information voteforsciencenotreligion
