Morrison gives with a promise and removes it as the same time. He’s grabbed the promised RATs from those he promised Pharmacists while reducing worker protections at the same time. Has he reduced the protections for the Liberal Party itself or made his MPs pay? Why has he spent $3.5Bn on tanks and at the same time increased the potential for spreading multiple infection? Is this PMs only chance of staying in power to try and do a Trump  call off the election and declare a State of Emergency.

National cabinet’s plans to water down COVID-19 isolation rules for essential staff are “not a solution” to supply chain issues, according to unions, with leader Sally McManus blasting Scott Morrison over a “failure” to protect workers. An expanded list of workers in critical industries will be allowed to skip COVID-19 isolation if they test negative after being a close contact, under rules agreed by state and federal leaders on Thursday. But the Australian Council of Trade Unions said the plan would further increase risk to workers, without rapid antigen tests being made more widely available.
