There is no ‘leadership’ in South Australia, just a ‘spectacular lack of judgement’

Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “There is no ‘leadership’ in South Australia, just a ‘spectacular lack of judgement'” – below is their description.

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says there is no true leadership in South Australia but only a “hapless trio” who continue to pick up their taxpayer salaries while “trying to convince a gullible electorate that they saved them from the plague”. Mr Bernardi said South Australian Premier Steven Marshall, Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier and Police Commissioner Grant Stevens were three stooges who were “unleashing havoc” wherever they went. “This week they panicked when their quarantine protocols were exposed as flawed and a single family – and some associates -tested positive for coronavirus,” he said. “That’s right a total of 22 people were infected – that’s just 4 more than in NSW on the same date – but an entire state was locked down.” “Instead of admitting failure, we were spun the line that this new, sneakier strain lingered on surfaces and thus was more easily transmitted. “But more important than the desperate spin, it’s the spectacular lack of judgment of these ‘leaders’ that should have us all outraged. Mr Bernardi said the “hapless trio” had cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars, with the hospitality industry alone estimating losses of over $50 million. “But that doesn’t seem to register with Premier Marshall and his flunkies,” he said. “There’s no apology, there’s no accountability. Apparently there’s not even a penalty for the fibbing fall guy they are all trying to blame as cover for their own incompetence. “Instead, these three continue to pick up their taxpayer salaries while trying to convince a gullible electorate that they saved them from the plague.”
