Well, look, the very least the prime minister, the health minister, the acting prime minister, should call it out for what it is. I mean, you know, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility …
The fact is you got to hold people responsible for what they say, particularly if they’re people of influence, political leaders, media proprietors. What Morrison and McCormack and Hunt and others should be saying – at the very least – is that Craig Kelly is wrong and that it is reckless and irresponsible to be misleading the Australian public on matters of public health …
We’re not talking about, you know, interesting issues of political philosophy or even economics, we’re talking about the public health of Australians. It’s hard to think of anything more important. And if you have got a member of parliament pedalling misleading and dangerous information, then that, at the very least, needs to be called out and condemned and contradicted by the government.
