Every decision will be made with the election in mind.

Can’t call it now because they stuffed up the vaccine rollout.

Can’t leave it to the last minute because that gives the impression that they’re just hanging on hoping things will get better.

Greg Hunt has come out and said that even if we all get the vaccine, that doesn’t mean the borders will open. He is making the case for the poor vaccine rollout: “you still wouldn’t be going anywhere even if we hadn’t stuffed it up, so really our delay is of no consequence.”

Managing expectations - isn’t that what Scotty from Marketing is good at? It will be very interesting to see if the LNP use the “keeping us all safe” line that McGowan used to get back into power.
