Crisp is Crisped

2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!

Emergency Management Commissioner admits he misled committee on hotelsVictoria's opposition has demanded that the Emergency Management Commissioner return to a parliamentary committee and be re-examined by the hotel quarantine inquiry after he amended the evidence he gave about the hotels program. ... Such a pity the inquiry has no powers to charge him with perjury for lying about how 800 people were killed due to his incompetence. They better add all of them to that demand. Including and especially Mikakos and Andrews Someone is lying (no surprises there) CrispMustGo

Leaving a ‘conflict of evidence’ in the hotel quarantine inquiry is a ‘mistake’ | Sky News AustraliaThe hotel quarantine Inquiry will not recall Premier Daniel Andrews or Jenny Mikakos after a push from shadow Attorney-General Ed O’Donohue to recall the two due to a “conflict of evidence”.\n\nBoth Ms Mikakos and Mr Andrews fronted the inquiry in its final week of evidence, in which the premier laid part of the blame onto the then-health minister’s feet.\n\nMs Mikakos then resigned the next day, but said she disagreed with parts of the premier’s evidence.\n\nShadow Attorney-General Ed O’Donohue told Sky News host Peta Credlin, after writing to the inquiry insisting it recall the two, he has been informed it will not happen.\n\n“I think it is disappointing given that Jenny Mikakos, in her resignation statement, highlighted the conflict of evidence between the two,” Mr O’Donohue said.\n\n“Given they are the two most important players of the hotel quarantine fiasco, leaving that evidence in conflict is a mistake in my respectful view.”\n DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos DanLiedPeopleDied DanielAndrewsMP JennyMikakos Hardly surprising nothing else will come of it. They know there’s no consequences so they just shrug their shoulders.
