The real stories of COVID-19 are found in the suburb

The response among journalists to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s cancelling of the daily 11am COVID-19 briefing last week exposed an uncomfortable truth about the modern media landscape. More often than not, our reaction to the news of the day is to argue rather than debate.I think you can now see how the ‘no daily press conference’ thing is being received. A very bad decision,” Guardian Australia editor Lenore Taylor posted on Twitter in reference to the response from people on Twitter.

The reality is, the daily duty of these briefings has bred a collective anxiety in Sydney. A late morning pang of panic, as we prepare for bad and worse news. “If we are to debate a loss of accountability, the fact the NSW Government has effectively suspended parliament is what needs to be addressed”.

Even Victorian Premier Dan Andrews, overseeing a state where there are hundreds of new cases a day, has been sending his Ministerial lieutenants out to answer questions. There is also, of course, a political consideration to decision. As the lockdown wears on people, so too does Berejiklian as a leader. Polling suggests her popularity with the electorate has dropped significantly. Even for some Liberals the Premier’s school captain-like nagging is getting old. The Premier knows this because the polling on her desk is telling her the same thing.

cokeefe9 ‘Deflect’. Strategy option 2. ICAC would have nothing to do with this.. nothing….

cokeefe9 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ URGENT - PLEASE DO IT IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY DONE SO ⚠️⚠️⚠️ If about 25% of the population remove access to the government on our immunization register it will make the vaccines passport unworkable. 🔥

cokeefe9 I agree that parliament should reopen and that the move from daily pressers is not catastrophic. Most people didn’t watch them anyway and they rarely produced any great insights once they numbers were read. Most people just want to know when they can get their lives back.

cokeefe9 GladysB Is not a leader People are dying because of her incompetence EnoughIsEnough COVID19 Australia

cokeefe9 I didn’t see the balance on condemnation on here that you did. Only from journalists and drips. No one else seemed bothered at all Otherwise, yes, agree

cokeefe9 Double Standards Gladys
