https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/le ... c7f2f3b938In a speech in London overnight, Mr Abbott has blasted the “extraordinary ineptitude” of the Victorian government in handling the coronavirus outbreak, blaming Premier Daniel Andrews for effectively running a “health dictatorship.”
Speaking at the Policy Exchange in London – a Conservative leaning think tank chaired by former High Commissioner to the Alexander Downer – Mr Abbott spoke about his view on lockdowns that have swept the world in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
He indicated elderly COVID-19 patients should be allowed to die to reduce the economic costs.
I agree but, of course, AnAl has had to say a few words.
Let everybody go back to work. Open all shops and businesses. People (like myself) who have health issues, stay at home in "isolation". Everyone else, wear a mask, keep your distance (no hugging, kissing or sex) and wash your bloody hands! This is NOT going to disappear and we cannot stay locked down forever, our country is going broke and will take eons to recover. If you are gonna die, you are gonna die. That's the facts!Labor leader Anthony Albanese has slammed former PM Tony Abbott’s heartless call to allow some elderly COVID-19 patients to die “naturally”.
“Tony Abbott was never known for his compassion, but this is a new low even for him,’’ Mr Albanese said.
“This will offer no comfort to the hundreds of families who are grieving the death of a loved one because of coronavirus. It’ll do the opposite.”
