The decisions the NSW \u2018Gov\u2019t\u2019 are making are business driven, almost as much as they are health driven. There&#8217;s only one reason we went with a soft lockdown, pressure from business to stay open. Gladys slipped up and gave that away in a presser last week, that\u2019s she\u2019s taking advice from \u2018business\u2019 as well as health. Here we see proof of the Gov\u2019t \u2018trying\u2019 to put pressure on health officials to deliver what the Gov\u2019t and business want, not what is best for the health of the people of NSW. That . . is . . insane.<\/p>\n<p>Addendum: Tho I may critique Gladys, a mantra I learned long ago, and it has always held me in good stead . .<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Be careful what you wish for\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Remember when we all detested Turnbull and wished him gone?<\/p>\n<p>Having a buff of my crystal ball, and giving it a lingering gaze . . just suppose behind the scenes the right faction in the NSW Gov\u2019t are working to white ant and roll Gladys. If you think she\u2019s bad, imagine the NSW treasurer and his band of \u2018Let her rip\u2019 merry men being in power. I\u2019d say a perfect time would be in about two weeks. The general public are now SO disengaged and non thinking, they will fall in behind who ever yells and tells them what they should think. <\/p>\n<p>In two weeks people will be sick of lockdown, and, being the imbeciles the majority of the general public now are, if the treasurer makes a move, the public will approve, because hey, let\u2019s lash out and kick someone, anyone, because, that\u2019s what we do these days. Morrison detests Gladys, and, the boys club aren\u2019t happy there are too many women running the show.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a feeling, I could quite possibly be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe careful what you wish for\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not to be whiney or tiresomely political, but this needs to be plainly understood.
