When it came to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Scott Morrison adopted Murphy's Law.It was listening and acting on the health advice laid down by Professor Brendan Murphy, who on Monday night was named the ACT's Australian of the Year.It's up to 'mobile, active adults' to keep coronavirus at bay, says CMO Brendan Murphy
Now secretary of the federal health department, Prof Murphy showed calm leadership as federal, state and territory governments wrestled with community transmission. Mr Miller is the founder of Lids4Kids, a national organisation which encourages households, schools, businesses, and organisations to collect plastic lids to be recycled into sustainable products for children.
Pathetic. He said no masks, children couldn’t get it or spread it and he had a hand in (not) preparing Aged Care. The kidney doctor gets ACT Australian of the Year. Must be a shallow pool.
Proposed and voted for by your narcissistic LNP charlatans intent upon re-appropriating the state based leadership, science based modelling, health workers, and the enlightened majority of citizens who actually kept us safe. MorrisonPuppet
Another political decision from scottyfrommarketing
ACT Australian of the Year for what? I can think of many more people who deserve the recognition.
What a joke
JamieTravers 😳
Wasn't he paid to do the job as the CMO? Australians of the Year should be people who go above and beyond what is expected. It is not an award to give to someone for just doing what they are paid to do. He lied about having an Aged Care plan and didn't protect our most vulnerable
There is only one Australian of the Year and we Victorians know who that is. DanForPM
WTF - we have a new definition for “irony”. Does anyone have more than the memory of a goldfish?
Utter BS rubbish. Another lie pushed by Morrison for another sychophant lackey which is all Brendan Murphy is. Give us a break. How about praising the real heroes. The labor STATES CHO's who have genuinely SAVED LIVES not this fraud. Age care - Ruby Princess- masks don't work!
This is one of the more ridiculous things to happen this year. Farcical.
Australian of the Year means nothing and will mean less if Brendan Murphy wins the ACT Australian of the Year. Now if it was Norman Swan who talks a lot of sense or the CHOs in all states (except you NSW) who worked to keep their states safe.
Disgrace More liberal stacking in committees. This man is nothing put a mouthpiece for his political master
Is it April Fools Day? What about ages care deaths..?
Aged care, Ruby Princess, no masks, herd immunity, and who will forget the whispered answers - ScottyFromMarketing spin all the way. So many others deserve: what a joke. This govt gets more corrupt every day.
Morrison's captain's pick
Who decides these political pats on the buttock? auspol
Lap dog gets a treat.
This is like awarding the Khmer Rouge an award for savings lives in Cambodia! HerdImmunity Auspol ScottyFromMarketing ScottsBots
ScottyFromMarketing is on a history re-writing mission after the QldElection2020 slaughter! He’s trying to pretend he saved us, Fcucking dithering idiot! ScottyFromMarketting MurdochRoyalCommission NotALeaderJustALiberal
What a joke
Is that for his advocacy of HerdImmunity The policy DanAndrews defeated & has been politically campaigned against on since by the PM ScottyFromMarketing ScottsBots
He deserves it. Totally set the tone for the entire country.
This has got to be peak joke of 2020
The ex Commonwealth CMO. agedcare Quarantine letsgotothefooty I'd rather like a fact check on the number of lives saved.
The same guy who was whispering answers at the aged care royal commission 😡 what a joke
In what universe?
That would make Tim Smith come runners up then.
This is very upsetting to patients of the chronic illness groups (tick borne infections, mould/CIRS and ME/CFS) who as CMO he wilfully ignored and who continue to suffer
Brendan Murphy ScottMorrisonMP ‘s pet sycophant blatant nepotism
What an absolute load of crap. This puppet was all for herding immunity. Saying anything and everything Scummo wanted him to say. He is one of the reasons the state's went on their own and took control. He would have killed many of us
What rot!!
My favourite was when he fronted up a four page NSW study that said students don't transmit covid.
What a load of BOLLOCKS!!! FMD!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Shame he didn’t interject with the aged care debacle and save a few more then. Enjoy the accolade , we all know where the credit actually rests.
Brett Sutton would be a much better candidate.
Yerrrrrr, ole mate was as useful as an ashtray on a motor bike..... He couldn’t get out of the hot seat fast enough lest the “bungling ole uncle mask” fell off....
Didn't he lie to us about the effectiveness of facemasks among other things?
You have got to be kidding me
That is Scott Morrison giving us the bird. Hell of a joke.
What a farce.
Umm.....1st Nov, not 1st April. Save it.
It's a virus it's in the air ...it's not the black plague...it's the same as your common cold which attacks older people more ..that's it so you protect the old ....real simple
These awards have been appropriated, like so much else, by the federal LNP.
Was he a nurse?
No thanks more properganda from SBS ..remember he had no idea when it arrived and went about the wrong way that's why nursing homes people died ...big cover up from State and Federal Government
WTF
WTFffffff
I thought we were avoiding politicians and/or people just doing the job they are paid to do?
SBS He’s a political bureaucratic, nothing more.
And that has to be the ultimate slap in the collective face of Australia.....
Absolute rubbish a Morrison stooge all the way
SBS Are you kidding me? FFS!!! We'd have thousands more dead of any of the states listened to him.
He deserves it
Give me a break... this is the same guy that said the government was prepared for COVID response in Age Care. How many hundreds of deaths?
Is this a joke?
That s embarrassing....
Saving lives? from a virus with a 99.99% survival rate?
Good luck to him. He has done a fantastic job.
Did he save lives?
Bollocks.
🙄
Wait, wasn't he the guy that kept spouting herd immunity, and the state/territory leaders had to follow their own advice cos his was essentially to let it rip?
Is this a joke?
The coronavirus is making us dumber. Not only did he respond to a false pandemic he even gets rewarded for it. JFC
Advocated for herd immunity, said masks are ineffective, said go to the footy whilst premiers set up quarantine, yeah, he deserves a reward, NOT!
Credited by who? WTAF!
Lol what did he do?
He argued against the state premiers' responses, took Morrison's stance - economy matters more than people. If they'd listened to him a huge number of us would be dead.
Identified a nursing staff party as the cause of the Covid-19 outbreak at the Northwest Tasmania Hospital. Director of Human Bio-Security when the Ruby Princess passengers disembarked in Sydney. But, Daniel Andrews.
K.
Hmmm. Is it ACTian of the year or Australian of the Year? Surely, it can't be both. He is also tainted by ScottyFromMarketing
And, here’s the pay off! Well done Professor. Top of the class in ethics!!!
Why?
😡🤢
Well done Professor! Thoroughly deserved.
Wtf did he do?
Really
He knows where the bodies are buried!!! What a load of 💩
what about all the nursing home deaths
That should read wrongly credited with saving tens of thousands. The state premiers are the ones who did it. The federal government failed in all aspects.
Unfortunately it was blatantly obvious he allowed his position to be politicised by Scotty from marketing.
Did what?
