Despair occurs when you believe the government is there to keep you safe. Keeping us safe is not the highest priority to this government. The economy is. The reference to WA as being a " police state" is NOT a reflection of disrespect because it IS a fact that you could only know if you have been involved in police corruption and a legal system which has nothing to do with justice, and over many decades. And I have NO respect for the police in any state or the judicial system in any state but I do respect my Premiers efforts regarding Covid, in comparison to other state leaders. And to all VICTORIANS and non Victorians; I keep MYSELF safe. The government does NOT keep us safe because they make flawed decisions and consistent avoidable mistakes based on corrupt governing policies which prioritise power, finance and international relations over the well being of the middle and lower class families, individuals and sole traders. They DONT keep me safe from the flu, or covid my personal choices do.
