I’m bloody sick & tired of Government Ministers lying when they get asked difficult questions especially on #RubyPrincess
It’s Trumpian and wrong.
For example, this morning @D_LittleproudMP flat out lied to @hamishNews ... see next tweet 👇
. @D_LittleproudMP said “the Federal Agricultural agency only looks after plants and animals; they don’t look after human health.... state governments that they hold the responsibility of human health and make decisions predicated on human health.”

Not true. Just. Not. True. 👇
Just tell the truth @D_LittleproudMP - Fed Agricultural biosecurity officials were onboard the #RubyPrincess they were supposed to administer Traveller with Illness Checklists and didn’t, they gave formal permission for the passengers to leave the ship.
. @ScottMorrisonMP refused a legal summons for these federal Agriculture officials to appear at the NSW #RubyPrincess Inquiry. Ducking, weaving, lying. Not leadership. Cowardice.

Australians got sick, and died, because the Morrison Govt did not stop the one boat that mattered.
More Trumpian dishonesty, denial of reality on #RubyPrincess - this time from @ScottMorrisonMP - here he is responding to @CroweDM at a media conference today

Fact: @AusBorderForce has a Surgeon General, who did over 920,000 medical checks from 9 million visitors last year.
And this. More straight out dishonesty @ScottMorrisonMP #TrumpianPM

Fact: @AusBorderForce officers on board #RubyPrincess on 19 March asked the ship for medical records, misread flu tests as COVID tests, emailed them to superiors, & gave permission for passengers disembark.
