Comment on Live: PM to address nation tonight on response to Middle East war
Ilandar@lemmy.today 2 days agoIt’s definitely sounding like we’re ending up there sooner rather than later. They are likely very hesitant to announce any kind of restrictions because many Australians are still sensitive over COVID and it creates another wedge issue for the Coalition and One Nation. I have zero faith in either of those political groups, particularly with the Liberals now being led by Angus Taylor, to actually do the right thing by the nation and support the government in its efforts managing the crisis.

One of the most depressing things about COVID was learning how selfish most Australians are. Forget everything we like to pretend about community spirit and mateship and all that. People were acting like having a bit of fabric over their mouth was oppression, and taking a month off going to the pub was apparently unbearable.

Seems like those times are coming back. I was just hearing today about how people have already lost it over in Korea; they’re stockpiling rubbish bags because they anticipate a shortage. It’s the toilet paper thing all over again.
