Because he’s too gutless to actually do anything about it?

Chris Bowen (Fed Labor) - "Many people suffering cancer have had to reduce their hours of work, or give up work entirely"

It is stating the obvious. But not an unreasonable thing to say. I worked with people who had cancer. It was only when things got bad that they had to reduce their hour, or quit to get more intense treatment.

Yes that was a bit of a boo boo, maybe the person was meaning to say "It's a good thing we have it once a year" ... or ... "We should certainly retain it as a once a year celebration"

Troy Papworth

(Vic Acting Police Superintendent)

"It was frankly disgraceful"

(Re: Violence in different locations in Melbourne by groups of black African youths resulting in a person stabbed to death, another person stabbed multiple times and hospitalized, other persons punched and kicked)

Was it just disgraceful, or was it more serious than that?

Let's help Police person Papworth out here

A more appropriate description that came to my mind was: "brutal" ... just off the top of my head, but it seems fitting

So I consulted the dictionary and the meaning is thus ...

brutal | ˈbruːtl |
adjective
savagely violent: a brutal murder.

Perhaps Police person Papworth might have consoled the Public better if he'd said

"We don't need savage violence in Melbourne such as just occurred, we will keep a closer eye on black African youths from now on"

"
