A key (and unreported) finding of the review into Victorian quarantine? ScoMo had prepared no pandemic plan, with no quarantine arrangements. All commonwealth responsibilities. Premiers were stunned, and were left with no choice but to offer to do it themselves. 12 months on, there’s still no pandemic plan, and no commonwealth quarantine arrangements. He’s spent the past 12 months doing nothing but rush through key toxic policies for party donors, like tax cuts for the wealthy, big taxpayer subsidies for gas companies, and union busting. This man’s popularity is growing in complete separation from the facts of his contribution. Populism, he knows how to play the game.
