Basil Zempilis was interviewed on Perth radio this morning in regards to ambulance ramping at Perth hospitals.

He was a total dick.

When asked what the solution was, he wouldn't answer.

No matter how many times the interviewer asked him, he refused to answer.

He's such a useless attention whore.

Yeah, ambulance ramping and the general state of the health system is on the front page of today's The West Australian and also on pages 4 and 5.

WA Health director-general Shirley Bowen:

"This year's flu season had been much worse than predicted and the State's low vaccination rate had not helped".

Well, who's fault is that (apart from the antivaxxers)? Maybe the State government's half hearted "Don't Assume You're Immune" vaccination advertising campaign had a lot to do with it? Especially since they used the same ads as last year and, once again, not a word was said about Covid which is still at least 5 times more deadly than the flu.

"WA's ageing population was another factor, resulting in sicker patients needing more intensive care for longer".

"The thing that wasn't predicted is the effect COVID would have on this group of people".

Bullshit. They knew exactly what would happen when Covid was let rip here in early 2022. They were warned about it enough times but chose to ignore it. Same as their BS lie about the elderly and other vulnerable people being protected.

That's why they're too afraid to even say the C(ovid) word anymore. And the M(ask) word too, of course.

I wonder if Dr Bowen can remember back to 2020 and 2021 when Australia was pretty much flu and Covid free and what the reason was for that?

Oh, I can't see any mention of Basil in these newspaper articles. Thank goodness for small mercies. He really is a complete dickhead.

Sounds like pure Lefty style as introduced by the Democrats during the Biden term, adopted by the ALP with Bowen leading Albo & Wong in doing such.
So what's your problem?

Basil the Great
