Our glorious leader has no foresight, or ability to plan for future problems.

How do I know this? Because he infamously brought a lump of coal to parliament to show people how it's not dirty at all and nobody needs to be scared of it. (He had it lacquered to stop his hands getting dirty.)

The selfsame genius of a man was quoted earlier in the year saying that "vaccination was not a race".

He also cancelled out original Pfizer order, so then we got put at the back of the queue after dozens of other countries.

It's kind of shocking isn't it. Covid has made Australians super aware of the delineation between State and Federal Government.

My suspicion is that as a general rule, the Federal Government seems truly terrible at Project Execution.

My hypothesis is that State Governments have to actually build things and operate schools/hospitals/police/transport etc. While the Federal Government is more of a financial institution... and consequently doesn't have the actual experience of getting things done. And so when it comes time to rise to the occasion, they simply don't have the skill set to get it done.
