Also, I'm pretty sure it's the individual States and not Scott Morrison (or Anthony Albanese if he's PM after Saturday) who decide whether or not to have Covid lockdowns.

I assume he'll make a Federal law to override tyrants like Dirty Dan?

He can't.

Federal law overrides the States.

Read your copy of the Constitution, Booby.

The National Cabinet does not derogate from the sovereign authority and powers of the Commonwealth or any State or Territory government. The Commonwealth and the States and Territories, as appropriate, remain responsible for the implementation of responses to the Coronavirus.

The prime minister also recognised this in a press conference on May 5 2020. He said:

We’re a federation and, at the end of the day, states have sovereignty over decisions that fall specifically within their domain […] At the end of the day, every Premier, every Chief Minister has to stand in front of their state and justify the decisions that they’re taking in terms of the extent of the restrictions that are in place […] I respect the fact that they’ve each got to make their own call, just like I do, and they’ve got to explain it to the people who live in their state and they’ve got to justify it. And I think that’s the appropriate transparency and accountability.

Changed his mind, has he?

Greggy,

I am indeed.

ScoMo is a liar.

Let's see what happens.
The mechanism by which he would fulfill his promise
has not be outlined.
If he loses we'll never know.

Victoria has the world record for lockdowns and Australian record for covid deaths.

If lockdowns worked how can this be possible? Roll Eyes

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Only a fool or a liar would make this promise. In this case both could be the correct answer.
