Sky News host James Morrow says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is listening to the “extremists” on COVID following Health Minister Mark Butler’s decision to impose mandatory COVID-19 testing on travellers from China.
The move from the government was made in contrast to the advice from Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly.
The announcement came one day after Professor Kelly declared mandating testing was “inconsistent” with the national COVID-19 approach and “disproportionate to the risk”. “The left has long treated science as a substitute religion, sometimes under the other name of ‘reason’ … but always they did this with the implication that this is the real truth, and you can leave those old superstitious fights about religion, God, and faith at the door,” Mr Morrow said.
“By elevating science from a methodology – a way to ascertain facts and maybe make life better for people along the way – to something more akin to a faith, the progressive left has opened the door to fanatics.”
