, while leaving other states in an "egg-and-spoon race".
"As we've had outbreaks, we've prioritised those areas to save lives," Mr Hunt said. "In particular, we started by prioritising Victoria when there was the Victorian outbreak.""I hope no-one would begrudge that focus." "I signed up to a national plan to vaccinate our nation, not a national plan to vaccinate Sydney," he said.
"NSW received a million extra doses against their population share, while we've received significantly less than WA's share," Mr McGowan wrote in a social media post.
Hunt your first name should be “usilick”
GregHuntMP such a narrow minded view, any vaccine saves a life. NSW lives are not more important than the lives of the rest of australia
There’s no question that vaccines saves lives. The question is why vaccines are not shared fairly? Does health minister means lives of NSW people matters more than the rest of the nation?
Restrictions and lock downs can potentially kill lives too.
Cos they wouldn’t have saved lives in Labor states?
No doubt but do not bag the states you took the vaccines off for their vaccination rates
All the gullible fell for this, and propagated the myth of “vaccinate your way out”! It was clear from the outset this was a scam the LNP were running. Why didn’t Premiers across ALL other states make a fuss on behalf of their own constituents?
Mr Hunt that is fine that states gave up doses for NSW we are all Australians. What I dont get is why the government in general keep criticising the other states enough is enough.
Not Victorian or Queensland lives.
The very definition of spin. “Saving lives” is the new maxim to justify the unjustifiable. Sounding more and more like Animal Farm here in Australia. Hunt is Squealer, Scomo is Napolean. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
Are lives in NSW more important than lives in Victoria and the other States.
Correct me if I am wrong NSWHEALTH Minister wears favemask incorrectly!!
They would save lives wherever they were used. Next headline - The sun shines.
'I commend Gladys Berejiklian resisting going into hard lockdown.' Scott Morrison - 7 Sunrise tv 24 June 2021. So exactly who saved lives, GregHuntMP ?
I thought as Scott Morrison said was the extra doses came from a stock pile and not from the other states. Appears that he was wrong
So would ordering enough vaccines for the country GregHuntMP but you failed to do that didn’t you?
Hard & fast lockdown in NSW would have saved more. The issue is Fed gov lying to States and withholding their fare share of vaccines.
More lives would have been saved by a snap lockdown of all of Sydney after the first few cases. But we won’t mention that will we.
Your delay took lives.
If its an 'all above board' national plan, why the secrets for one state?
How the he’ll did we end up with you at health minister ? Seriously
Oh that’s alright then, I hadn’t realised that those same vaccines wouldn’t have saved lives in the other states.
Why hide it ?
Or saved votes
What about other states no lives, fair well enough
Hunt says rorting the vaccine rollout saved lives in NSW as if lives don't exist in other states, or if they do they don't need saving anyway.
ritapanahi
only NSW lives matter, but Gladys doesn't care.
And do you know what would have saved even more lives? The NSW government behaving responsibly and doing a hard and fast lockdown as soon as we had 2 or 3 cases of community transmission -- no retail open, no 'recreational' outdoor gatherings, etc.
I thought it was for year 12s as Glady needed a win, 40,000 vacs re directed from regional areas, and vulnerable communities like prisons missed out. For what, face to face learning for Yr 12s is all but abandoned. Outbreaks now in prisons and First Nations communities.
Nsw lives
Hey, Flinders voters - remember this.
Pork barrelling vaccines
What about in Victoria and the rest of Australia We are also human beings living in the rest of Australia
Saved NSW lives, but what about the rest of the nations lives? Are they less worthy?
Saved NSW lives.
Hunt abused Victoria and Victorians last year, especially during the lockdown. This year says Victorian lives less valuable than NSW lives and so denies Victorian their quota of Pfizer vaccines. VoteHuntOut FlindersVotes VoicesOfFlinders NotAVictorianJustALiberal
This has always been a case of Prime Minister Slo Mo, and Deputy Prime Minister Our Glad Bag. It’s a case of “What are you telling me that rest of the country need vaccinations, can’t be”
Unbelievable only NSW lives matter, the constant criticism of Victoria when fed libs are doing sneaky deals. C'mon Victorians let's vote them out asap
. On that measure, if Morrison had established secure quarantine facilities to isolate the virus in 2020 then many more lives could have been saved. And don't start me on Morrison being late to secure vaccines in the first place. Hopeless, just hopeless!
🤬😡
Pork barrelling vaccines. Liberal
What a supercilious response from a failed health minister. There’s a 17 year old Victorian on a ventilator. That’s why it is important to try to save all lives.
Any vaccine in someone’s arm saves lives. Just don’t get why you prefer NSW all the time.
Just remind that to your constituents. Resign now... Still don't get why you have a job.
Is Hunt now the health minister for NSW? What happened to Brad Hazzard?
They have AZ also so stop with the BS is is becoming sickening It was underhanded of him and lies Victoria is expected to us AZ I would say it is Discrimination VIC needs to remember there lives are worth less than NSW
Your own General has confirmed its the case. Which one of you is telling the truth Minister? And which state are you a representative of again? 🧐
Right so turn up on ABC in the morning and retract your attacks on QLD. Accusing our State Govt of not doing their job. Attacking our numbers. GregHuntMP
Hmm, saved NSW lives hey GregHuntMP VIC lives not worth saving? Geeezus when you think you’ve seen and heard it all…another new low. auspol
Except for those ppl that died. But don't let inconvenient truths get in the way of an excuse. lnpdisgrace COVID19Aus auspol DanAndrewsROCKS
Is anyone in Flinders besides Andrew Bolt voting for him at the next election?
What a bunch of lies I am sure the media will have a field day with this...get your facts straight 'LETS NOT FORGET'
Where are the huge supplies of vaccine that were supposed to be rolling in for everyone in this latter half of the year?
I am sure I am not alone in wanting to know where those extra Pfizer went. Certainly not to the Indigenous in Western NSW, more likely elite private schools, LNP electorates & marginal seats. Transparency in data needed as Gladys and Morriscum need to be held accountable.
Maybe not in other states though, eh?
That’s not the point and we all know it
So then by Hunt's line of thinking, all those Pfizer doses that Hunt and Morrison didnt bother to order last year ( 40 million ) cost lives.
They wont enjoy too long though. They have to get vaccinated every 6 months till possibly dying of potential deadly blood clot, heart attack or stroke.
The lives of Victorians not important to him?
Greg Hunt is looking poorly after having to front up in Lou of the PM.disgracefull
So did that cost lives in Melbourne?
That was not the question. We know vaccines save lives. Why did you give away Victoria’s vaccines to Sydney?
Hunt the bandit robs WA, SA, Vic, Tas,. Qld in order to save Gladys' arse
I mean 50 million doses of vaccine would have saved the whole of Australia from lockdown, death, economic disaster…but hey, what’s not to love about ordering enough vaccine during a pandemic…
Hello ! If we get deaths in Victoria the fact that they didn’t deliver cost lives ..
And with no word to any of the other states? Silence in an emergency saves noone.
So lives in other states are not as worthy of saving?
KHunt makes another appearance
And he is a Victorian 🤬🤬🤬🤬
NSW Liberal lives. We all know they are more important than labour lives in Victoria.
Where was this ethos when Pzifer came calling 14 months ago with gifts for ALL Australians and he couldn't be bothered sitting down with them cause he was bashing his own state?!
Delivered to save NSW lives. Didn’t Scott Morrison repeatedly advise us that we were all in this together⁉️⁉️ Obviously not because we all had to “vacate the lifeboats” so the New South Welsh people could live‼️
And then blame others for slow vaccinations, What a joke
Well that's nice ... Hope it doesn't cost Victorians lives
Us Victorians will remember this. Roll on the next federal election. Those ministers for NSW, especially Hunt and Frydenberg are getting rolled.
Well it’s ok that those who needed it more got theirs first but stop whinging at the rest of us we’re to slow.
And killed some in Victoria
Wouldn’t it save lives of Victorians as well
Just a point of order. It's not NSW who got the extra Pfizer doses, it was Sydney. Out here in regional NSW Pfizer has gone from hard to get to non existent. Clinics no longer taking bookings, none available.
Victoria is on its own exponential growth path! At this stage of cases, NSW was a self-declared 'national disaster' and thousands of extra pfizer doses were being found and heading their way. Where is the same plan for Victoria?
Good to know. Saving lives is what they were designed for. The bit where Sydney lives are more important than anyone’s else’s is where things went pear shaped.
Tell that to the ones now passed unvaccinated but belonged to 1A group that should have been vaxed back in March/April!!
As always…
Typical liberal dog.
Greg Hunt, the Minister of Health from the Victorian seat of Flinders, has made a decision that the lives that will be saved in Sydney are more important than the lives that will be saved in Victoria. Playing politics with a pandemic? You’ve no soul mate
Its not about xtra doses, that we know about. Its about the secret deal you made with Gladys to take even more from the national allocation & secretly move them into NSW. don't you fucking dare utter a word about slow uptake in Qld, when our supply has been stolen. Your a grub
My challenge 2 Hunt is PROVE the 1st doses mostly given in last 2 - 3 months have had any MEASUREABLE IMPACT on fatality rate due 2 Delta Wave caused by Gladys, ScoMo, Hunt & Hazzard's tardy incompetence. Most in NSW only have had 1 dose ( of AZ ). AZ = 70% protn .
Shorter Greg Hunt…Save NewSouthWelch because..Gladys, kill Victorians because Dan 🤬CovidVic vaccinerorts
yeah funny that, they save lives everywhere, including, like maybe VICTORIA
What a great idea from the LibCorp marketing dept, set vax targets then restrict your political opponents the means to achieve those targets, and then REAP THE GLORY!
Wherever they were delivered they would do the same wouldn't they?
That may well be true, but in one location more than another. That’s sort of the point?
If the Feds had built quarantine facilities a year ago more lives would have been saved
Well maybe NSW should wait until the rest of Australia catches up to 70-80% before being opening up, after all you won't be able to get out of NSW until that happens.
Vic & Gld doses going to nsw so Glady can tell us about her ‘gold standard’ vaccine roll out, while the rest of us wait for weeks because of low supply. Nsw’s hubris has wrecked it for all Aussies & now they get priority. 🤬
Just another Liberal, not a Victorian 😡 JustanotherLiberalnotaVictorian
In Victoria we don't have lives - just votes
They would have saved lives in other states too
What so only lives in NSW are worthy of being saved....
Is he saying that it won't save lives if delivered to Victoria?
If it's good enough for Victorians to turn to AstraZeneca in time of need, why was this also not good enough for NSW instead of stealing from other states Using the saving lives card does not gel.
No one is buying it little man.
Saving arses, LNP arses.
Lucky this ukuleles piece of shit has no longer anything to do with vaccines or we would be burning bodies in the streets like India.
100% they have
