'Even the pet cockatoo in your local beer garden knows that a new wave of infections is sweeping through the population. That’s where it fell over more hurdles. It was bad social policy and bad health policy' | OPINION from Shaun Carney
There are plenty of things people do to each other that are awful, but in daily life one of the worst is taking someone for a mug. It’s insulting. It’s an attempt to humiliate. Ultimately, it degrades both parties.
All while even the pet cockatoo in your local beer garden knows that a new wave of infections is sweeping through the population. That’s where it fell over more hurdles. It was bad social policy and bad health policy. His judgment that the public would eventually tire of Morrison’s brand of flim-flam was astute. For this, he deserves praise and the gratitude of the Labor faithful. But while the risk-averse approach has put Labor in power, it didn’t train up the frontbench in making and successfully selling difficult calls.There will be some backfilling by the government as it attempts to limit the damage from its first big and very public cock-up.
