IN THIS country in the last seven days well over a quarter of a million new victims have contracted the virus and well over 7,000 people have died.
Yet this government has made all the wrong choices during the pandemic which has led to one of the worst public-health outcomes in the world, which has further terrible consequences for the economy and society.
This Sunday January 24 we are building the broadest possible coalition to fight for a better policy outcome; to put people’s lives first and to adopt a Zero-Covid policy.
At every stage, unlike this government, we have tried to learn from others and understand how different countries are successfully fighting the virus. These include densely populated countries with larger populations and less well-developed economies than our own who have not recorded these cumulative totals in the whole course of the pandemic.
