Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Labor leader Anthony Albanese: the election campaign has offered voters a choice between two flawed small targets.By any objective measure, the government responded appropriately. Australia’s COVID deaths per million people are a quarter of comparable Canada.calculates 900,000 of the one million American dead would still be alive had the US handled the health crisis as well as Australia.
Yes, the prime minister and his government ought to have better anticipated the global rush for vaccines and testing kits, though it achieved one of the world’s fastest rates of jabbing when it got them. But “could have done better” hardly equates to the blackening of Scott Morrison as a careless and buck-dodging leader who should be turfed out.
