Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson says the Victorian government has clearly “lost control” of the pandemic with the worst public policy failure seen from a state government in history.
“Not just the hotel quarantine disaster but the disaster in contact tracing,” Ms Henderson said. She said the state really lacked the “sophisticated system” of states like New South Wales which are managing hotspots successfully. “Whole approach of shutting down the state is really based on a very poor public health premise and of course so damaging.” Image: Getty

Australia’s 'overreaction' to COVID-19 'damaged our society and economy' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australia should have done more to protect the elderly and less to harm society and hurt the young in responding to COVID-19. \n\nMr Kenny said the fact Australia overreacted to the threat of the virus is becoming increasingly apparent as the country learns more about the virus, treatments improve, and fatality rates around the world drop. \n\nAustralian National University’s Professor Peter Collignon said in a tweet on Tuesday the estimated infection fatality rate was close to zero for children and younger adults, but reached 0.4 per cent at 55 years, 1.3 per cent at 65, 4.5 per cent at 75, and 15 per cent at 85.\n\n“We should have been doing less to harm society, and hurt the young, and more to protect and support the elderly,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nMr Kenny said while the virus itself posed a moderate health risk to Australia, it was the country’s management of it which had damaged the nation’s society and economy incalculably. \n\nHe said the virus, as looked likely in February, “might always have been dealt with better by pulling out all stops to protect the vulnerable, to ring fence aged care homes and support the elderly, rather than crush society.”\n\n“The more we know about this disease, how it behaves, how we can combat it, and the mistakes we've made, the more it's clear we need to open up more, like Europe and North America, and learn to live with the disease,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia A bit hard when the heart and soul ($1.5bn) was ripped out of Aged Care before the crisis hit.

ScottMorrisonMP Yes because this country is run by greedy corrupt cowards who are nothing more than mouth puppets for mega wealthy criminals. There will be no apologies..... it won't be poetic.

Per capita recession in March 2019, heading towards a trillion dollar debt level and his accounting blunder. Nice cover up though Joshy. JoshFrydenberg No - the economic ruin is the result of his catastrophic mismanagement of the economy in the lead up to Covid-19. What the country now has are the consequences of that mismanagement. And his enduring incompetence is not helping the country or the economy.
