Australia Got Covid Wrong, Alright! By Brian Simpson
It is good that PM Albo is to have a Royal Commission into Australia’s Covid response, given its extreme measures in some states such as Victoria. As noted by one of the few doctors taking a stand on this issue, Dr Nick Coatsworth, people were robbed of fundamental human rights. Would this all be put before the Royal Commission? If it is open to the public, it seems inevitable that all will come out in the dirty wash. It has been an eternal shame upon the Australian technocrats for what they have done, the damage to business, jobs and life.
“Dr Nick Coatsworth has taken a dig at politicians for robbing Australians of rights during the pandemic as Anthony Albanese announces a Royal Commission into the nation's Covid response.
Mr Albanese on Sunday said an inquiry examining the role of state governments in managing the pandemic and that of the federal coalition under former prime minister Scott Morrison would be held 'as soon as is practical'.
It comes amid growing calls for a commission to be launched after it was revealed Mr Morrison was sworn into five additional ministerial portfolios without telling the public or Cabinet.
Discussing the matter on the Today show, the former deputy chief medical officer defended Mr Morrison, arguing some state leaders made worse decisions.
'Yes, he erred with not telling the community and cabinet about his five portfolio authority, but Scott Morrison didn't shutdown playgrounds,' Dr Coatsworth said on Monday.
'Scott Morrison didn't issue fines to children for crimes against disease control, and Scott Morrison didn't shutdown two towers full of refugee and migrant Australians.
'There were very real democratic rights that were trammelled in the course of this pandemic.'’
That is a vast understatement as people in states such as Victoria were put into home solitary confinement, well along the road of the CCP lockdowns. There needs to be justice.
