One day I would love to hear our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, begin a speech with “I realise we don’t share the same political views, however, I want to say thanks Premier Daniel Andrews for the truly hard work you and your team have done in keeping Victorians as safe as possible. Thanks for constantly deferring to medical advice and not being swayed by ego or party politics. Thanks for stopping the numbers spiralling into complete catastrophe. “
He may choose to add something like, “Whilst I don’t agree with every decision you have made, I recognise that they have been made with the sincerest intent for our community. And that they have paid off in reducing the number of deaths. Let’s discuss the roadmap together, for best possible outcomes for health and economy.”
And this, “I know that when the time is right and we can return to a new normal, or indeed a ‘better normal’, we will all work together to revive the economy and continue to support those hit hardest. We will together restore and replenish the body, heart and soul of our country, building unity of spirit, a strong and equitable economy and a new solution focused, respectful political pathway moving forward, for a more harmonious society.”
I would love to hear that. ❤️❤️
Cheery blessings,
Marg
