Regardless if it's an ALP or NLP leader - it seems that 'any' Prime Minister turns on his own Australians, especially in favour of putting the USA first all the while demanding that Australians should be more patriotic. 
Then blames 'us' for all the panic-buying, etc when it was the Chinese who kick started it all (as well as the disease  ).
ScoMo is just a bully.

Ever had that Foreman who goes hard on the good workers because he 'fears' the bludgers who would tell him to F right  Off or give him a hard time back? That's ScoMo, let alone any PM these days.

but when pollies hoard property scumo says absolutely nothing as usual

The Fire Crisis showed how bad ScoMo and the Australian Political Industry was.
Now this Medical Crises is again showing ScoMo and his Politicians as nothing more than cultural and social parasites whose 'Egos' can't cope with other 'experts' being in charge.

It's all very well for the rich and elite in privileged positions to look down upon us to say how to survive.

They live not like the rest of us. Wouldn't have a clue what it was like to be like us.

I do understand it is a little out of hand sometimes, the fighting over the loo paper and people panicking, but this would not have happened if everyone did a little extra shopping earlier week by week, to not have to do this end result.
No one was told. It was pretended that everything is okay, to just go along as always.

I know Nail, Gordon, myself, and perhaps a couple of others on here, that took heed of early advice, did do some extra pre shopping, much, much earlier. We didn't play "follow our leader of our country".

I know Nail was watching the very same guru on this subject as myself for months, and we did share it whenever we could on here.

I had noticed that Chris Martensen was criticized badly, for doing his pre warnings of where this would go to the rest of us and his advice of what to do to slow it down, and not let it spread, and what makes him so cluey, his critics may have wondered? FFS.
So glad he kept on keeping on, I know he felt the effect of critique, but was so happy his followers of subscribers kept his morale up to keep the good info and so forth flowing. We knew though, didn't we Nail?

He was absolutely torn to pieces, saying he is no scientist blah blah 

And everything Chris has said, has been spot on.
You want to know what Chris had said in the last day or so, that Canada and Australia still have a chance and time to do something.
The USA have very little time to do so.
He is so very disappointed in his own country (USA) and had said it from the very beginning that plans of action were not implemented when they had the chance!!

Was there anything our leader of our country said to prepare us?
Nope, I can't recall.
Stop hoarding, stop it ducky! 

No turn around time for people to come in for weddings, that was bs.
Why not give people 24-48 hours, instead of just 10 hours or so?

Booking international flights is no picnic in the park.
Going into airports, checking in.

That was brutal.

A lot of people are upset re: pre booked weddings from last year!

Guests had already booked flights.
Now to face 2 weeks isolation or just cancel the flight.

But stop the hoarding folks!
BTW....there's nothing left to hoard.....did anyone not tell our PM???

But not very early on though?
Yes, continuing our lives as they are I recall.
But that's not really preparing us, except washing our hands.
And social distancing, that's really only recent.

Yes guidelines now put in place.
Who was in a timely calm manner?
The fact we have phone vids going viral of how calm our
supermarkets are 

The fact that flights inbound from OS would have to be in self isolation was not done in a timely manner at all!
Too hasty/sudden, and not much time frame, not creating calm there.
People panicked, many did rebook and the airports were chaos at international airports to get back before midnight!
Calm?

Tell that to the myriads that had flights booked to come into that isolation period, instead of the wedding they were supposed to come to.

Not much time given there, and should have been a little more 'calm and timely' of perhaps another 10 hours to give folks a chance to re-schedule their flights (or cancel and rebook depending on the airline they could get) and get organized to get into the airport, and we all know you have to be at the international airport 3 hours before your flight.

I recall australia being among the first countries to stop planes from China .

I recall the talk on 'social distancing', 'washing hands', 'continuing our lives as they are'.

fair enough Lols, you do not have to agree with every detail of what the govt decided on.

Fact is, they have decided on and done quite a few things.
