Former Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone says she thinks China’s coronavirus situation “could be worse than we know”. Accusations raised against Chinese local authorities claim the true number of coronavirus fatalities have not been reported.
Ms Vanstone told Sky News host Chris Kenny determining death toll figures would not be a simple procedure because “it is not just that China is an authoritarian state," but "the size of the population,” would make the determination of accurate figures difficult. She said “you can talk about things per capita but when you multiply that by the number of people there are very serious risks".
amandavanstone amandavanstone you think? Why are politicians so slow to figure it out. Add some zeros to both infected and death toll in china from coronavirus and it would be more accurate. China is lying. Do you get it yet? DM me if you want to know who and why behind it.

Govt defends sport rort saga by hitting back at 'hypocritical' Labor | Sky News AustraliaLabor has used Senate Question Time to further prosecute the government over the controversial sports grants programme and the auditor-general’s finding that the Coalition splashed cash in marginal seats. \n\nWhen asked about the controversy, both Senate leader Mathias Cormann and Sports Minister Richard Colbeck used the ‘reverse pork-barrelling’ defence that Bridget McKenzie lifted funding in Labor electorates. \n\nMinister Cormann claimed Labor should be “grateful” for the intervention and be proud of the programme. \n\nBoth Mr Cormann and Minister Colbeck hit back at Labor, and claimed their line of questioning was hypocritical, considering a 2010 auditor-general report which found an aspect of Labor’s fiscal stimulus program favoured Labor-held seats. \n Even when caught these LIARS can’t admit it. RORT after RORT and a slap on the wrist after an investigation by Liberal Staffers clears them FFS ScottyFromMarketting CrimeMinister This Liberal Government is horrible. KICK THIS MOB OUT 🤦🏻♂️
