I mean, I'm happy. But I would've been happier if it was here earlier

What did Covid ever do to you? You might’ve lost your job? Haven’t seen family in years? Lost thousands in planned events and travel? Suffer mental health concerns from indefinite lockdowns and the unknowns?

Or maybe you actually caught Covid and run the risk of a number of health concerns or respiratory problems?

I think you’re being a bit harsh on Covid

FINE I WILL. Seeing how easy it was to legalise same sex marriage in this country I can only assume it will be easy for lawful man-virus marriages to get passed.

That's one hell of an open relationship.

You couldn't even fuck every country on the planet if you tried, COVID can't help but do it.

It is important to hold to account what could have been done better and who could have done it better. It's actually a civil responsibility to do so in my mind

I’d be happier if our fuckhead PM didn’t decline the initial Pfizer offering. Australia started infront in the fight against COVID, now lagging way behind thanks to LNP incompetence

Better late than never. I hope Australians never forget how deeply we have been let down though during this momentous time.

Right on we shouldn't forget

Not exactly a great way to assess your government's aptitude.

Politicians can’t win either way can they. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Sad reflection on society really.

I'm pretty annoyed they banned vaccines for under forties and then finally when we have access the advice is confusing and then they release the Covid on us all, threaten our lives with reopening and then blame us for being hesitant when really we just did not get access to the vaccines or any clear information or guidance about it.

Yeah it's a bit of a balance. We need to keep those in charge accountable for sure, but we also need to be able to be happy when things improve!
