The Victorian COVID crisis is just the latest disaster presided over by Labor governments, with 50,000 illegal arrivals on our borders, Rudd’s GFC response and the ‘unlawful’ live-cattle export ban all part of a shocking record that stretches back to Whitlam. Why do Liberal governments run things better than Labor, asks Peta Credlin.
The federal government has sunk a staggering $289 billion on COVID-19 measures, but the states have held all the power in dealing with the pandemic. However, as Victoria has demonstrated, state government incompetence can be just as deadly as any pathogen itself, writes Peta Credlin.
If the Ruby Princess was a ship of fools, what on earth do you call a state run by one that puts every Australian’s long-term livelihood at risk, asks Peta Credlin.
The Prime Minister may never have wanted the states to go as hard as they did in managing coronavirus, but like it or lump it Scott Morrison now has the hard task of getting us out of this mess, writes Peta Credlin.
While the rest of us worry about job security and the economy, the Labor Party is busy self-immolating on the national stage. To some, power is still more important than a nation’s people, writes Peta Credlin.
Not only are we losing our grasp of history, but the ignorance and the misunderstanding of religion is also getting worse. Now more than ever, we need the Prime Minister to lead, writes Peta Credlin.
You want to talk about dividing Australians? Allowing the laws to apply to some, and not to others taking part in the mass protests during a pandemic, well, that’s about as divisive as it gets, writes Peta Credlin.
Some things are more important than money – like national security and self-respect. And the Prime Minister’s latest changes to foreign investment prove just that, writes Peta Credlin.
While the Prime Minister is trying to steer us out of the havoc wreaked by the coronavirus, Victorian premier Dan Andrews is busy getting into bed with China, writes Peta Credlin.
With so many lessons coming out of this crisis, the behaviour of our state and territory leaders should be serious cause for concern for all of us, writes Peta Credlin.
