People understand that our climate change policy is purely about keeping the Coalition from breaking. If they take that same perspective to NSW for Covid now, they’ll see the same thing. NSW’s Covid strategy is designed to appease the warring factions in the NSW LNP. Like today’s statement - the first half (‘zero transmissions’) is the complete opposite of the 2nd (‘can’t eliminate’). She’s speaking to the different factions of her own party, throwing a bit of meat to both. Exactly what Boris is doing in the UK too. Gladys: Our goal is zero transmissions. Anyone who thinks we're going to eliminate this disease unfortunately does not understand what the pandemic represents.
