Palaszczuk’s NRL WAGs exemption

Post Reply New Topic

She has form in regard to double standards here, and in other areas such as choosing Pfizer, rather than AZ, when the rulz specifically stated she was not eligible.

Hardly a person with heroic conviction who expects others to wear the risk, while her privileged position allows her to pick and choose.

The person is a two-bit politician, with a political tin ear, who caters to the rich and famous over ordinary citizens.

The pandemic has been a godsend for her.

Seems like a strange preoccupation to be attacking the premier of Queensland who has successfully managed COVID while living in a state (NSW) with the worst record for COVID and now in a state of perpetual lockdown with thousands of cases till at least 2022??

Last time I checked the OPs home state premier Berejiklian has left NSW in shambles with numerous deaths and hospitalisations.

Coming across as sour grapes

Looks like even Sky news agrees with me.

So much whattaboutism here...

The subject of the thread was the hypocracy behind certain specific actions by the politician, not a comparison between various states' actions in more general terms.

It's depressing that there are people who see any critism of specific individual action(s) by a politician on "their side" as being "wrong", and so need to introduce some other action by them (or their opponents) to deflect from the action(s) being criticised... I guess that simply indicates either they cannot justify the actions being discussed, but are unable to admit they were wrong, or they are incapable of acknowledging "their side" could ever be "wrong".

But the foolishness irrationality doesn't end there.

I have clearly stated, in a recent thread, that Gladys mishandled flight crew dangers.
The post was directed at him.

The first time was the northern beaches outbreak where she seemingly naively believed the international flight crews would do the right thing.
Gladys, were you born yesterday?

The second outbreak, with the delta strain, was the result of stupidly allowing drivers of flight crews to remain unmasked and unvaccinated.
The rule amendment was inforced *after* the deltahorse had bolted.

As you can see, I have logically destroyed his naive argument that I am displaying "sour grapes", yet he will not acknowledge the fact.
This could be a combination of a fragile ego and a hyperpartisan mindset.
And yes, I *do* know what the word means.

This person simply has no credibility and consistently ignores pertinent facts, presumably because he is incapable of the complex thinking behind our statements.
I don't understand why you persist in engaging with him when it is clear he has no intention of learning from his mistakes.



"Whataboutism" is a term that is new to me.
Based on its definition, it seems to fit in with his mindset.
I am old skool, and would call what he does as engaging in *non-sequiturs* and *red herrings*.
He constantly attempts to ridicule others but seems to be unaware that he is simply embarrassing himself through faulty reasoning.

The problem is, there are some who enable this behaviour through groupthink hyperpartisanship.
And, yes, I do know what that word means.

I find this hyperpartisan mindset childish and anti-intellectual.
And, yes, I do know what both words mean.

Just make sure you leave the warning labels attached in case impressionable children try playing with those "toys"

No one is stopping you or the OP from continuing you berating of the Qld premier.

As I said, she has a "political tin ear".

Strange: no-one mentioned any attempt to "berate" the QLD premier, nor for that matter did anyone suggest there was an attempt to prevent it.

The discussion was about the hypocracy behind having a set of rules that all are supposed to follow, and the person "in charge" then bending them to suit their personal whims.

It's not a good look to be putting forward an "all in this together" approach, then taking actions which show that in fact only some are "in this together" whilst others are not, as it weakens the message being put forward, as well as giving the impression that while all are "equal", some are "more equal" than others.

Hasn't this been an issue across all states (most famously in the OP's state of NSW) where celebrities and the wealthy are given special privileges when it comes to exemptions from COVID edicts?

What is special about Palazszuk that warrants having multiple posts about her on WP news?

To be fair, I have no time for this hypocritical, self-serving pathetic excuse of a premier.
But I say that in the nicest way possible.

Regarding: "some are "more equal" than others."
All I have to say is "Oink, oink."
BTW, Could the premier get her snout out of the public purse?
18 media advisers cost a small fortune to employ!

Which brings me to the saying:
"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
