The great state of Victoria is right now the laughing stock and the black sheep in Australia. With rising counts of COVID-19 cases, clearly pointing to large scale community transmission leading to a second peak, and the inability of the government to prioritize resident health over revitalising the economy has clearly shown the lack of strong leadership in the state. And the relative outstanding performance of other states, even neighbouring states, paints a bleak picture for Vic. If these other states can efficiently manage these numbers, why can’t us ?
This is the same
failing leadership which was on display during last year’s bush fires. Yes, that
was just last year. This ‘wait and watch’ approach to emergency situations is something
typically seen in developing nations. It does not sit well in such a developed
country.
The truth is, the people
in power know what the right thing to do is. But can’t. It takes courage, and
commitment, to do the right thing.
The kids in the
government need to grow up.
