Not to get political but when the 6 cases of COVID delta were reported in Bondi in mid June why didn’t she shut the whole of Sydney down into full lockdown
McGowan would of done that
Idiot
I agree and thought the same at the time, because lockdown doesn't bother me (I'm selfish I guess)
Not an idiot given the nsw govt has been able to control ALL previous outbreaks.
I don't think anyone really factored the hostility of the delta strain. That was idiotic...and the Health advisors make those calls, not the politicians.
Believe me, McGowan is no hero, so drop the hero worship.
During these times its easy to ride on the coat tails of hysteria.
Leaders in history prey on their population under these types of circumstances.
Iron ore exports are pumping out in record quantities and record prices.
If the country blocked China from our Iron Ore, like the Chinese are blockading Australianproducts (they can get elsewhere), whilst Brazil Iron Ore has huge issues that wont be solved for another 2 years, then McGowan wouldn't be a big hero.
In 2 years when China focuses on Brazil for unlimited supply of Iron Ore, WA will be putting its hand out just as it did for over 100 years for the eastern states to bail them out. Fact.
We are one country though. WA getting a little ahead of itself and a bit cocky. Theres an economic war going on our there, and WA can't fight that one on its own. I can already see the WA Independence flag on the bottom on the mast ready to be lifted. Be careful what you wish for.
Back to footy. Politics and hysteria go hand and hand. Hence the hysterical commentary.
