I'm sure Pepe would consider any politician who engaged in hypocritical behaviour such as this (travelling overseas for "entertainment"\non-essential purposes, whilst cutting down on the number of citizens allowed to return to the state - Of course, perhaps she doesn't intend to return?) to be worth criticising.
Similarly, the hypocracy (shared by leaders in many states\nations) in forcing small businesses to close, whilst large gatherings of people such as protests (but only for cetrtain causes), sporting events, etc. are permitted, and where the politicians receive their full wages, whilst their actions are depriving those they govern of income at the same time would also likely receive similar criticism from him, regardless of party\ideological background of those leaders.
You may also notice that the post consists entirely of material sourced from the article, with no "opinion", "belief", or "prejudice" expressed by Pepe in the way of remarks on the content of it in the post...

Too right!
Also:
Morrison stuffed up the vaccine roll-out because he put all his eggs in the AZ vaccine.
Gladys Berejiklian's government stuffed up TWICE with international aircrews.
The first time, she naively believed the aircrew would do the right thing and not run around town. Bwahahahaha!
And the second time, compulsory vaccination and mask-wearing by the driver of the aircrew was implemented AFTER THE HORSE HAS BOLTED!! !
Will they ever ducking learn?
One super-spreader has cost billions of dollars in economic loss and hard-locked down 5 million people, now.
OMFG!! !
Some people excel in misrepresentation.
Others embrace integrity.
Point Brictoria and Pepe.
If some silly people haven't worked out I am not hyperpartisan by now, nothing will convince them. EEP!
BTW, what is that pink sentence in my signature all about?

Melbourne, Sydney lockdowns costing up to $2 billion a week
16 hours ago
Economist Warren Hogan says the Melbourne and Sydney lockdowns are costing Australia up to $2 billion a week.
Sydney and the whole of Victoria are currently locked down, accounting for nearly half of the country’s total population.
“We are getting up to a weekly cost of $1.5 billion to $2 billion. We’re talking about a 15 to 20 per cent hit to economic activity,” Mr Hogan told Sky News Australia.

The winning bid, expected to be Brisbane, is scheduled to be selected and announced by the International Olympic Committee on 20–21 July 2021
So, 2 days before the bid is to be announced there is a sudden need to rush out to promote Brisbane?
Oh yes:
Quote:
Brisbane was first announced as the preferred bid on 24 February 2021, gaining the formal approval of the IOC Executive Board on 10 July 2021. If selected, Brisbane would become the first host city to win an Olympic Games bid unopposed under the new bidding procedures
Sources for above: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2032_Summer_Olympics
So, we have a state premier rushing overseas, 2 days before the venue is selected, in a bidding war where the state capital's bid is unopposed...
There's a final presentation that has to be made to the IOC committee before the final vote on Wednesday. Even with Brisbane being unopposed as preferred candidate, the bid can still be voted down by the full committee, unlikely though it may seem.
Does the Qld premier (along with Brisbane's Lord Mayor and the Federal sports minister) need to be there in person to ensure the success of the bid? Perhaps a Zoom call would've been enough in their case. But John Coates seems to think that having strong representation in person from all three levels of government would help to shore up support, and perhaps the bid organisers didn't want to take any chances. Personally, I don't mind the premier and the other government officials being in Tokyo for the bid, since this trip is for state business and it's been known about and planned for months.
What did annoy me was Palaszczuk's rhetoric on overseas returnees during the recent lockdowns here. Seriously, did she not anticipate the angry reaction that people would have so close to her own scheduled overseas trip?
That said, Brisbane's Olympic bid is quite popular here in SE Qld, and so any resentment that locals feel might just dissipate if the bid is successful ... which I'm guessing it will be.

Personally speaking, I don't think Australian's need the added financial burden, down the track.
I'd rather the money be spent on a missile industry to protect us from Nazi china, or at least make them question the cost of invading Australia.
Keep in mind that I am a moderate conservative independent, but I will call out fault where I see it on either side of the political divide. am not one of the hyperpartisan denizens that inhabit these parts.
Having said that, I find Palaszczuk a gold plated prized goose with a political tin ear, lack of compassion for the common people, favouritism for celebrities, queen of double standards and the luck of the Irish that the pandemic happened when it did.
I find her to be one of the most disreputable politicians in Australia, and have a major problem she uses public funds to employ *18* media advisers.
And engages in this unnecessary junket/trip to Tokyo while others are forbidden.
But then, we all know that she is better than us "little people", and I don't mean leprechauns. <vitriolic sarcasm>
