Mmmm … First deal with the crisis … and that looks like being ongoing for a year or two … then hold the post mortem.
This whole thing smacks of politics, supporting the despicable Trump (who is casting around for someone, anyone, to blame for his woeful performance from Day 1 of the crisis in the USA, and looking to run a lowest common denominator election in November), and a misplaced short-term political opportunism on the part of the government. On a side note … when the post mortem does get going I do hope the number of COVID19 cases that Australia imported from the USA (during Trump’s ’no problem’ period) comes to light. We nearly lost the Dog Whistler in Charge … sorry, I meant to say Peter Dutton our Home Affairs Minister … to that. Imagine what a tragedy that would have been!
