How to keep losing elections: Move further to the Right. Wheel out John Howard. Cosy up with Gina Rinehart. Fan the flames of culture wars & promote hate. Keep using words like โ€˜woke agendaโ€™. Keep silent on the vileness of One Nation. Rant on Sky News. #nswelection

It is patently obvious that in NSW at least you CANNOT get tested for covid. Sick people cannot queue for upwards of 5 hrs, then wait for 3-4 days for results. And now the results arenโ€™t always reliable anyway. Plus no #RATs . How can we โ€˜live with covidโ€™ without any govt support?

โ€˜By siding this week with the Coalition & One Nation to delay a vote on the governmentโ€™s Help To Buy legislation, the Greens have joined the RW parties in a populist raceโ€ฆin pursuit of their own electoral fortune. It is a betrayal of voters..โ€™ Agreed.

โ€˜โฆ @Birmo โฉ says the phone call was not "necessary nor appropriate", saying Mr #Assange was undeserving of that kind of treatment.โ€™ I once had some respect for Birmingham. No longer. Struggling for relevance, he employs tired wedge politics.

โ€˜There were six principal reasons why the โ€œNoโ€ campaign triumphed. The first was its shameful, morally bankrupt slogan: โ€œIf you donโ€™t know, vote โ€˜Noโ€™.โ€ The โ€œNoโ€ campaign essentially argued โ€œWhy bother?โ€™ The brilliant Barry Jones.

Tried to get a pulse oximeter at the chemist for my friend who has covid. All sold out. I have to wait until the next delivery comes in. I said to the pharmacist โ€˜this means covid is everywhereโ€™ & she said โ€˜it sure isโ€™. Just business as usual @Dom_Perrottet ? Economy ticketyboo?

I donโ€™t want to get into a spirited defence of @AlboMP - but I have rarely seen a PM cop so much pressure from both the right & left sides of politics. My constant fear is that this only emboldens @PeterDutton_M , rightly named โ€˜Gina Rinehartโ€™s special envoyโ€™ by @MikeCarlton01 .

If another politician says โ€˜we have to live with the virusโ€™, I will scream. Of course we do. Itโ€™s the bleeding obvious. But how about making it easier by prioritising our health? Ppl who received AZ vaccine should be able to get booster at 4 months. And keep masks & QR codes!
