Greg Hunt, the man who steered Australia through its health response to the coronavirus pandemic, says his children must now take priority after two decades in federal politics

.

“I’m so proud of this government, this parliament, and this nation and all the things that have been done to save lives and protect lives,” he said.“There will be challenges, but we are well prepared for the future.” Ms Miller had described the conversation, where she said he swore and pointed his finger in her face, as the most unprofessional interaction she had ever had with a person at his level.

And there are countless parents across the country who retell stories of his generosity and support towards their efforts to raise awareness or to gain access to rare treatments for their ill children. He is strongly advocating for Zoe McKenzie, an NBN director, councillor of the French Australian Chamber of Commerce and former chief of staff to trade minister Andrew Robb as his replacement.

Good. Rack off.

A job well done.

Man, that’s some puff piece.

What a load of bullshit 💩

Why does the media continually champion mediocrity?

He was conspicuous by his absence

'Greg Hunt, the man who rebuked Pfizer and under ordered vaccines.' There, I fixed it for you.

Ghunt: part of the government that rorted and lied their way in. robodebt sportsrorts carparkrorts vaccinestrollout LNPCorruptionParty

You’ve got to be Fucking joking !

'Greg Hunt, the man who steered Australia through its health response to the coronavirus pandemic' this once great newspaper.....what a joke....

Who steered?

What I'm sorry? He didn't steer us through anything. Who makes up the stupid headlines.

The Health Minister whose maiden speech in Parliament was calling for Australia to have a U.S. style health system. No thank you!

Lets not mention the fu*kup Vaccine roll out . 6 months too late . Slagging off of Vic .Car Park funding etc etc Good riddance , glad to see the arse end of you

Hunt did not steer us through the pandemic, he put up road blocks and gave us the wrong directions and we got horribly lost. People died and businesses suffered through a preventable third wave of Covid. That’s why he is quitting.

I'm so glad he prioritised vaccine procurement and building dedicated quarentine facilities.. 🤔

Given how badly he handled the vaccine rollout maybe we should call DOCS.

What a load of fawning BS. Costello showing his leadership demands, I guess. The Federal government got in the way of the states and badmouthed them at every turn.

He’ll find out the hard way that “health advice” isn’t an excuse for anything and everything in real life!!!

Sounds like he is doing overtime job 😂😂😂

The only thing Greg Hunt did was steer Australia towards a disaster. Luckily, the states and territories manager to contain his incompetence.

Steered Australia through the pandemic like TimSmithMP drove his car. auspol

'The man who steered ...' Oh FFS. This is why journalism is at it's nadir in Australia and the SMH has been one of the worst. Seagulls waiting for chips to be thrown at them. Scavengers who are too lazy to hunt.

A true gentleman thank you Greg Hunt for all your hard work during the Pandemic you will be missed. Thank you ….

My god, the old “time with children/family” line. If he truely cared about that he would never have been in federal politics in the first place. I guess that sounds a lot better than saying “I’m leaving to get a high paying job with less work”.

Good. Don't come back. By steering you mean trying to drive off a cliff right?

Sounds like there might be a federal ICAC in the wind after the next election so he is cutting his losses. But like Baird he will be at some high paying corporate job within six months of leaving office.

All the best to his family and his children sound wise.

Steered? Yes steered our ship into every rock and stranded us on a reef.

sounds like he's at last got his priorities right - Morrison will sell all their souls if he needs to

You can read the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison like a book. The election is coming up & he's getting rid of any liabilities. Tudge, Hunt & Porter are the first to go. Let's see who's next!!. auspol

Fixed the pic for you…

'Steered?'

I'm so glad I killed my subscription to ths formerly great paper.

Also worth noting that he was a complete failure as environment Minister too. Just truly abysmal.

Puff piece

Steered us away from an effective purpose made quarantine system

More like rudderless

So he has been neglecting his children for his career and we're supposed to applaud him

Shame the kids haven’t previously taken priority.

'Steered'?! You must be joking!

Steered? Haha, more of a joke than your paper

He's a parent ....his kids should have always taken priority.....oh wait...thats the woman's job...silly me!! No wonder women in politics are treated so appallingly...because they don't know there place!!

‘Steering’…

What a load of SMH shite..

I'm not sure whether 'steered' is a good choice of words. Apart from that, I thought the States and Territories has a bit to do with it.

No, Greg Hunt didn’t steer anything. Medicine and science did in recommendations to political mouthpieces, who sometimes corrupted their advice for political expediency.

Steered us like we were on board the SS Minnow.

Very much like his buddy Tim Smith steered his car into someone’s house recently

is this all the rats leaving a sinking ship with Morrison still trying to steer a rudderless ship ...just my opinion

Never forget

Is he the one that steered tens if not hundreds of thousands to be stranded overseas?

He did not steer the country through the pandemic. Greg Hunt failed to steer us. “He’s not a leader, he’s just a Liberal”.

Isn’t he one of the two guys who forgot to order enough vaccine

Steered? hahaha who the F is this bloke. See who pays the SMH...

'Steered'? He missed the bus completely.

GregHuntMP When will you apologise to the families who have lost loved ones due to your incompetence COVID19

His kids are probably rolling their eyes and saying “You’re a bit too late, Dad.” 🙄

Australia (NSW and Victoria) would look very different today if Hunt/Morrison had ordered Pfizer instead of demanding their IP as part of the deal‼️ SO many sad families this Christmas - down to these men.

If by steered you mean drove around aimlessly while the vaccines were being sorted by less incompetent people elsewhere, then yes, I guess Greg was at the wheel for that.

They are all leaving the sinking ship 🚢 😜

Rob Harris and his so-called journalism is the reason why I cancelled my smh subscription. He simply repeats LNP proganda. Thanks yet again for confirming my decision was correct.

🚩🥵🙅‍♀️🇦🇺

Strange thing to say when his children must now be adults. Mmmm……

Steered?

Steered? Crashed.

Our media is a joke.

Drove like he didnt have a map whilst wearing blinkers

He will forever be known as the guy who ignored Pfizer

Greg Hunt, health Minister in a federal government who did nothing when Covid hit, wanted to open everything up, failed to secure vaccinations, left everything to the states, and then took credit when they did well... Media amnesia. As usual. And Hunt killed the price on carbon.

Weird argument. Why was he happy to not be around his family for two decades but has changed his mind now? Come on GregHuntMP - just admit you’ve seen the polling and you don’t want to be in Opposition.

This is pathetic propaganda . You should be ashamed but you aren’t.

'the man who steered Australia through its health response' Bevan must have taken over already

He was steering, but at night with no headlights on!

And before becoming a spectacularly bad health minister he was an even worse minister for the environment!

Steered Australia’s health response through the pandemic?

Steered. Almost drove us off the cliff not purchasing Pfizer vaccine when offered.

Translation - he’s going to lose his seat and he hasn’t been able to push anyone else out

“Steered Australia through it’s health response”?. Hard not to laugh out loud!. Whatever happened to his ‘green army’, that was to ‘green’ Australia, to fight against ‘climate change’?. Again, hard not laugh out loud!. Wonder what job will drop into his lap, while babysitting.

Greg Hunt has systematically destroyed Medicare and admires American style health care, where getting sick sends you into bankruptcy! getinthebin auspol

*cough* Ruby Princess

'Steered?' Are you for real? He's jumping ship with his massive pension! This journalism is laughable!

he didnt steer australia through anything. he screwed it up then blamed the states

Who wrote this shit ?

Somehow to me it’s still acronym of so my hurt.

“Steered Australia through its health response…” indeed.

Steered? That’s a strange way to spell blundered.

Can anyone leaving politics today really say they’ve left the country in better shape after their political journey? Is there a reason we pay for them after they leave?
