And yet we are supposed to be patriotic of the Olympics, One Nation - yeah right. Embarrassing.
The biggest embarrassment is Scotty from Marketing.
He controls the import and distribution of vaccines (yeah Mick: I know about local production too).
A State Premier declaring a 'national' emergency. If only we had a national government to make those kinds of decisions and implement an appropriate national response.
Scotty acts on the advice of the medical experts, until it becomes politically damaging.
Scotty uses a sentence with "sorry" in it about what "we" regret, so that it can be spun into an apology.
At least he's not blabbing as much as he used to. Scared of becoming white noise...
