@gerardrennick70: Josh Frydenberg has just released a book on his time in politics and I quote: “At one point Morrison and I met senators Alex Antic and Gerard Rennick, who wanted the commonwealth to override state vaccination mandates, arguing they infringed civil liberties. They were insisting that they wouldn't vote on government bills as a result, making the already difficult task of getting bills through the Senate even more so. I shared Morrison's dismay. He offered various accommodations but they went nowhere. Eventually he snapped. "You're not giving me a way out here," he said. "You've got a hundred colleagues who think differently. If you think this way, you might as well resign." Afterwards he sounded disconsolate. "I feel like I'm walking on the top of a razor blade," ••••••••• And there you have it. The demise of the Liberal Party summed up in a few sentences. Millions of Australians had their civil liberties destroyed through the Covid era and only two Liberal politicians tried to stop it. Of course most of the cowards along with the media have backpedaled and tried to pretend they stood up to the madness at the time but as we well know they didn’t. I should also note none of our accommodations were met, although the threshold for claiming medical expenses was lowered to $1000 from $5000. Of course this had little impact given very few vaccine injured actually had their claims recognised. For what it’s worth I think Morrison also signing up to net zero with the cooperation of Barnaby Joyce (another gutless backpedaler) a few weeks before this meeting also contributed to the party demise. Morrison’s request that Alex or I have resigned from politics was not granted albeit I’m fighting on from the outside. Some things are worth fighting against, none more so than Government overreach.
