Labor promises to establish a centre for disease control if it wins the next election

Anthony Albanese has declared Labor is switching strategy as he vowed to establish a centre for disease control if he wins the next federal election.

Mr Albanese said lives and the economy depended on Australia getting its response to future pandemics right. "This week we will start to change tack. We will continue to hold the government to account but start to provide the beginnings of our plan for Australia," he told a caucus meeting on Monday. The centre would have responsibility for preventing both infectious and chronic illness, along with addressing the social and economic drivers of disease.

Well all we need to do to work out how to do it well is look at America and don’t do it that way. Dont create a system by which the very organisations the DC centre is meant to protect the people from is in bed with big pharma, owning patents n making $ from those very drugs

CatPurry9 Will that also include a Fedl ICAC?

AKA an ICAC?

Labor will create it, LNP will privatize it.

We use to have an Infectious disease hospital in Melbourne until Jeff Kennett got rid of it as well as quite a few of our schools.

He has no chance to commit the promise.

But that's the whole point. Labor is incapable of winning Federal elections. It should immediately install KKeneally as Federal Labor leader.

Opposition leader promises to establish . . . . more and more and more officials and bureaucrats Perhaps he can persuade an unelectable Daniel Andrews to run it

It's a good idea, and it shouldn't be tied to politics. Both sides need to do this; if the Liberals stay in power, they can simply rename it Disease Force for example and wear military-style uniforms. As long as the job gets done.

Good idea as we can expect the CCP to use biological weapons again.

Yeah that will win it for ya

No centre for disease control for the foreseeable future then😏

Albanese and Labor are bankrupt in the ideas department.

Is there a better choice than Albanese in Labor?

Opinion: Feeble attempt by Labor to be noticed.

Vacuous promise. Albo couldn’t win even if he was running against Abbott. Albo’s got nothing. Labor need to find a competitor

The best disease control AlboMP must have is to kick out all the commies that have Australian citizenship.

Is there something wrong with the NHMRC?

What a statement 🤔🤭 is that the biggest announcement he can make?

Queensland's LNP and Labor Party 'preoccupied with polling and popularity' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Daisy Cousens says Queensland LNP has provided no point of difference on their views regarding the state's border closure compared to Queensland Labor, and seem just as “preoccupied with polling and popularity”.\n\nMs Cousens said Queensland Labor’s handling of the Queensland – New South Wales border had “exposed an unattractive preoccupation with popularity and polling”. \n\nPremier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced this week that the earliest the border will open is November 1st, conditional on NSW recording zero unlinked cases for 28 days.\n\n“Queensland Labor seems content to terrify the public into believing that opening the borders to those southern leper states is an existential threat to human life,” she said. \n\n“And let's not forget; Queensland CHO Jeanette Young admitted during the AFL-Tom Hanks fiasco that she makes decisions regarding the border based on economics, not public health. \n\n“Also, how wonderfully coincidental that the date flagged for border reopening is one day after the Queensland election. \n\n“That timing doesn't do much to dispel the accusation that the border closure is merely political.”\n\nMs Cousens added the Queensland LNP and opposition leader Deb Frecklington had provided no major point of difference to the Queensland Labor government on border policy. \n\n“Deb Frecklington has backed the starry-eyed health advice of 28 days with zero unlinked cases, despite the obvious impracticalities, and differing health advice in other statesm” Ms Cousens said. \n\n“It's my instinct the Queensland LNP is just as preoccupied with polling and popularity. \n\n“As a new resident of Queensland, consider me overall unimpressed.”\n ClarabelleCousens
