2. Our politically correct state government refuses to call a spade a spade.

This has been the major issue from the get go; the government has been so hung up on "Not Offending" anyone that they have ducked and weaved on providing real information to the public. Remember back a couple of months now they started to mention the LGA's which were causing concern but refused to name the suburbs. The City of Hume comes to mind; pretty big place and there was an uproar.

So then they back-peddle and start to name the suburbs; they then attempt large scale door to door testing in some of these trouble-spots and are swiftly told to f@#4-off by people in the thousands. Then it comes out that 30% of people hotel quarantine had also given that same response in relation to testing.

Just in the last couple of weeks we are now getting information on the DHHS website of hotspot locations with dates; the list is minuscule in comparison to NSW Health site. The NSW government releases information on a daily basis (in detail); the Vic government issues a number so as not to "offend".

I'm OFFENDED with this whole debacle; until the government fixes the minority (which they can't short of strategic bombing); "we're all in this (Sh@t hole) together"!
