Owens then questioned why America shouldn’t invade Australia like Afghanistan.thats not quite how she said it, but i guess if you pick random quotes you can peddle whatever agenda suits
suggesting any commentator is dangerous is plain moronic, just some twit on tv,

You are up against a hard right winger thereWhat about her agenda though? She is cherry picking facts to suit her argument too. Voters rewarded the state governments that took a hard line on COVID last year because they unsurprisingly didn't want the virus spreading in the community. Support for the COVID restrictions has understandably declined this year the longer the lockdowns have gone on, which has no doubt been a factor in NSW, Victoria and the ACT ending their lockdowns, but even Newspoll results suggest that many voters don't want to lift restrictions too quickly. The facts just don't support her claim that we have a tyrannical government. This is misinformation.
A tyrannical government wouldn't give us safe and free elections either...What about her agenda though? She is cherry picking facts to suit her argument too.

I love him , but no respect lolI like and respect The King and am happy to debate issues with him. I personally think better communication from the government might have avoided the need for strict lockdowns, or at least kept them shorter. But we can't change that now. Just grateful for our high vaccination rate.
You wouldn't pi55 onher if she was on fire
Different issue , my comments were about her !So that's your response to what she is saying ? You would not piss on her if she was on fire ? There was a news headline today that said it was Freedom Day for the most locked down city in the World. Can you explain why out of all the cities in the World why Melbourne was the most locked down city in the World ? There is a reason we are a ****ing laughing stock World Wide but please tell me what is the reasoning behind it ?
Candace Owens is insane.
Candace Owen's only agenda is to make as much money as possible telling her audience what they want to hear.What about her agenda though?
1. Can we stop calling it "Freedom Day"? Freedom Day would be if we were under a tyrannical government and we disposed of them. If you mean "Freedom from COVID" it wouldn't be when we only have like 58% of people are fully vaccinated and every state is still considered in a State of Emergency.So that's your response to what she is saying ?

In my opinion, collective society hasn't had a major event like a pandemic or war so we have been more focused on ourselves or smaller communities as opposed to wider societal goals. So when something happens and we need to give up certain things we took for granted we treat it as an attackAmazing over the Pandemic how some have changed due to selfish reasons , when we are all in it.
Some don’t believe in having there rights taking awayAmazing over the Pandemic how some have changed due to selfish reasons , when we are all in it.
We have governments for a reason ! like it or not . It's not your rights , it's safety to the rest of the community . I detest it as much as you , but i don't want to be in ICU , or worse. Enjoy Qld.Some don’t believe in having there rights taking away
pro vax or anti is isn’t for others to judge
A rex hunt . If we didn't knock back vaccines last year we wouldn't of had these lockdowns !In other riveting news, a week ago I received an unsolicited text from a rep from Matthew Guy's office. Here's the exchange:
Hi XXXXX, it's Sam from Victorian Liberal Leader Matthew Guy's team here. Last week, Melbourne became the longest locked down city in the world. Our team is announcing a plan to reopen, recover and rebuild Victoria, but we wanted to reach out today to see if you have any issues or ideas to raise with us?
Yes. I have issues with members of the Liberal party undermining health messaging including the opposition health minister putting out false information about breast screening having to put off. I have issues with the opposition education minister making statements about schools reopening earlier when teachers who followed advice to get the AZ injection immediately when eligible would not be fully protected if they wait the 12 weeks as is best practice according to medical research. I have issues with the opposition education minister questioning the use of masks in the classroom which can reduce the likelihood of spread from a COVID positive student to others. I also have issues with unsolicited text messages from political parties referring to me by my first name.
Sorry to hear you feel this way, XXXXX. I will pass your concerns to the team to look into. We definitely understand the importance of vaccinations, masks and lockdowns to limit Covid-19 transmission and keeping cases low. But we do think Victoria needs to reopen safely and quickly to provide some optimism and hope for businesses and Victorians doing it tough in lockdown. I hope our policies and people will be appealing to you as the election approaches.
I later questioned on his twitter why his team were sending unsolicited text messages and was blocked..... I seem to have joined thousands of others. Great way to get your message across to the public. What an absolute toss bag.

Good debate . I'm still not allowed to so called freedom with my bar shutCorrect. Sorry all, I fell for a clickbait article, didn't mean to cause controversy...
1. Can we stop calling it "Freedom Day"? Freedom Day would be if we were under a tyrannical government and we disposed of them. If you mean "Freedom from COVID" it wouldn't be when we only have like 58% of people are fully vaccinated and every state is still considered in a State of Emergency.
2. Melbourne is the most lockdowned down city in the world for a few reasons and I want to try to present this in the most logical and objective way possible:
1. our state government wanted to protect lives and believed in lockdowns as a measure of doing that
2. Melbourne had a lot of significant outbreaks which in turn, trigger point 1.
The cause of said outbreaks can be (and have been) debated to death and assigned blame at whoever you want going all the way back to the first monkey who found out using a rock can break open a coconut.
I won't indulge your laughing stock comment as last time I replied to you, you didn't feel obligated to reply to me and I don't expect a reply to this comment either but just wanted to reference it for future scrollers of the COVID-19 thread where this post will end up being moved to
Fair enough, my mistake. Glad we agree.i didn't call it Freedom Day I was referring to a News headline. It makes me ****ing sick it has been referred to as Freedom day.
