Yesterday in #qt Morrison was accusing Labor of playing politics during a pandemic… well if this situation isn’t political I’ll eat my hat. Gladys and Morrison are digging in on economics over public health.

Brad Hazzard on ABC radio saying that there wasn’t going to be a lockdown😷. This was followed on the news that one of NSW ministers had a positive covid test. What does it take?
