My federal member had a curious turn of phrase in a recent email, where she described lockdowns as a plague
Restrictions and lockdowns have plagued our communities, particularly those on our NSW/Vic border, for more than a year. These have been frustrating, socially disruptive, and economically devastating.
I like how it somehow innocently inverts the response for the cause.
Elsewhere in her text it was ensured that every measure of human life and health was qualified with an economic indicator.
By ramping up the vaccine rollout and working together, we are can be confident in getting the current outbreaks under control and continue to grow our economy.
It speaks to how the Coalition can't help but put their economic cart ahead of the horse, but unfortunately they won't see those horses are actually people.
