State and federal politicians need an urgent plan for Australia to master COVID-19, rather than being held captive in fear of the next wave of infections.
Senator Roberts said, “The ad-hoc opening and closing of our economy and politicians praying for an elusive and unlikely vaccine needs to transition to a longer-term plan of how to master COVID-19.”
The rolling debate of suppression versus elimination strategies are short-term and unsustainable and we cannot continue as we are. At current infection rates it could take until 2040 for Australia to achieve herd immunity.
Taiwan, with a population similar to Australia, has had just seven deaths despite great exposure to COVID-19, yet unlike Australia it did not destroy its economy.
“There is a deafening absence of political leadership that has the courage to look beyond the immediate waves of COVID-19 infections to the horizon of how to live with COVID-19 in our community,” stated Senator Roberts.
Queensland’s state 2019-2020 mid-year Fiscal and Economic Review, pre COVID-19, states “An increased capital program of $51.8 billion over the forward estimates, supporting 41,500 jobs in 2010-20”.
Part of Queensland’s Economy Recovery Strategy Stage 2 for COVID-19 also states “$51.8 billion state infrastructure program over the next four years to give the building and construction industry certainty and confidence.”
“This is duplicitous and untrustworthy leadership that pretends this is new money for recovery, when it is in fact an existing capital works program re-branded as a recovery capital works program.
Senator Roberts said, “Clearly the Queensland government’s exceedingly poor financial management has left Queensland on the back foot with no additional resources to bolster economic recovery.”
“With no vaccine in sight, no money in the bank and no confidence in the Premier’s leadership to look beyond the advice of the Chief Medical Officer, then Queenslanders need to get back to work.”
“The Premier needs an urgent plan, based on data, on how we master COVID-19 so we can return the economy and our community back to prosperity.”
The plan is obvious and available now. When are your useless mates in Canberra going to implement Thomas Borody’s multi drug therapy – another 21 dead in Victoria today, this murder has got to stop! Andrew Bolt showed that your Canberra HCQ taskforce used 9 studies where HCQ was used without zinc! WTF! – that’s the reason our Health Gods have banned its use!.. Its Dumbass Yes minister global warming data adjustment for real with peoples lives on the line all over again.- This crap has to stop. The HCQ therapy works WITH zinc and antibiotics and it stops cov19 in some people. Borody’s therapy makes more sense, seems to be more effective and doctors can use it now with existing drugs. The Queensland virus is ready to test – why don’t they use them all in Victoria – You have a state with many cov19 patients – use them before they all get better and the virus moves.. If someone in Canberra health god alternative government had some common sense and guts all cov19 restrictions would be lifted by now Malcolm. Malcolm they are enjoying keeping us all living in fear beholden to them way too much – unless there are more sinister motives for this snow job on HCQ and deathly silence on Borody’s therapy
There is no Covid19 and no plan is need to master it.
The solution is simple; admitting the failure falling for the big CON.
Open up the borders, open up every single business as before.
End the unemployment and most importantly, arrest all corrupt politicians, who deserved to get jailed!!
Make them all accountable!
Stop vaccinating the elderly, instead let them have access to HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE medication.
