Goodness, who would want to be a pollie at the moment. They are falling all over the place. Falling down, falling ill, you name it. Defence Minister Linda Reynolds - heart problems. A-G Christian Porter - indefinite leave. Vic Premier Dan Andrews - falling down the stairs. In hospital. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt - falling ill. In hospital.
Indicative of other workplaces that have been under pressure during the pandemic. Eventually ppl start having trouble - doesn't explain the historical stuff (that is just pollies being pollies), but i am not surprised some are getting crook and falling down. Stats show that stress and pressure up ATM as well as property prices
The first two would be due to failing the Australian people in their attitudes and responses The last two would be due to stress and overwork (don't think Dan or Gladys had a day off in 12 months)
And fractured his spine. Serious stuff ... but also, speaking from experience, we do get careless and sloppy when tired
The first two was a calculated hit on the government perfectly orchestrated to cause maximum hurt on all individuals involved. They even wheeled out the Australian of the year to the press club perfectly ok time.
