Finance Minister Mathias Cormann has told Sky News it was "selfish” and “reckless” for protesters to attend Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend when Australia is still trying to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Thousands of Australians attended rallies across the country to protest police brutality and indigenous deaths in custody. Mr Cormann criticised the demonstrations, stating they were inappropriate while the country is still trying to prevent a second wave of COVID-19 infections.
TimSmithMP MathiasCormann Yes✊🏿👏🏿👺✍🏿
MathiasCormann Spot on MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann Then MathiasCormann the fact we have this Australian hating law breaker in our Senate is something that needs condemnation and fixing at the highest level.
TimSmithMP MathiasCormann blm BrainLessMorons protests, they achieved their objective, they made it quite clear that they are all
MathiasCormann Absolutely
MathiasCormann Here's how its racist The Jungle. Though runs much deeper than this. Antifa are involved too.
MathiasCormann You mean ‘Lacking Grey Matter’ protests.
MathiasCormann Go chomp on another cigar Matty.
MathiasCormann 100% spot on Matthias.
You should shut up for some who said you cannot control the virus but can only slow it down shows you ignorance in all matters
MathiasCormann Mathias Cormann’s intelligence and moral compass are troublesome. More right-wing Liberal crap filled narrative. Is this mongrel qualified to opine on important matters he evidently knows nothing about? Last I saw, he’s a finance minister and not a health one.
TimSmithMP MathiasCormann I'm sure they all had the Covid 19 app, so nothing to worry about
MathiasCormann Yeah let’s say they’re bad and then everyone will forget about it and go back to doing what they are instructed to do by us politicians F off 🖕🏻
MathiasCormann Does Tom need a ride to his grandmas house?
MathiasCormann They’re selfish people, expect nothing different.
MathiasCormann But there's a white elephant in the room, BLM ~political manipulation from another country trying to use an agenda creating havoc, please talk to the issue, the issue it's not the reactons, we need action to carve a road forward out of this diabolical mess - esp health & economy
MathiasCormann He is right! We have all hid in our homes for months & now we need to put ourselves at risk because of a black man death in America at he hands of white policeman who did the wrong thing. Enough u people r letting yourselves b used as political pawns.
MathiasCormann MathiasCorman Dr Michael Levitt just said that Australia did not need a lockdown
MathiasCormann Yes but what have any of you done to stop this? Zero!
MathiasCormann Cormann is 100% right. The rest of us have had to abide by the rules and suddenly those brainwashed unwashed idiots can do whatever they damn well want. If there is a second wave of coronavirus the onus is squarely on them.
MathiasCormann He’s right
MathiasCormann Matthias? You were acting prime minister for 1 week, why didn't you think of paying yourself only $750 per week back then to help keep inflation low?
MathiasCormann Immigrant and failed Liberal finance minister Mathias Cormann is arrogant enough to believe he has a right to say what peeps from a 65k year old culture are allowed to do on THEIR LAND.
MathiasCormann You may say that but falls on deaf ears...this is organic and much bigger than what you say...it is a protest that rhymes with what's going on overseas...not copied but there are certainly parallels...
MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann The Colaition senate voted.. 'Its OK to be white' with ON and Mathias didn't stop it. That's the very last person who I wanted to hear from on being reckless and selfish. Cormann and Dutton criticised state border closures. Zero credibility morons.
MathiasCormann Qantas can't fly, bleeding money, staff can't earn an income, pay their mortgages, the Government is crippled by financial handouts, can't farewell loved ones at funerals yet 10,000s can stand side by side to march. This is disrespectful to all who are suffering under COVID-19.
MathiasCormann Why does Sky News always want to divide Australians?
MathiasCormann So...Covid-19 is worth preventing when it's something you are ideologically opposed to, but not when it's a footy game?
MathiasCormann He shouldn’t have to say it ,the media should be saying it
ThisisRaysBlog MathiasCormann And he's right .
MathiasCormann AllLivesMatter
MathiasCormann *opinion, maybe dog whistling
TimSmithMP MathiasCormann But scomo done nothing on Friday when protesters were on parliament house front lawns auspol
MathiasCormann God almighty has anyone here done your research And homework? Can’t believe how people haven’t worked out the Agenda here is not a virus.
MathiasCormann Labor & Green often exploited angers and hatred to achieve their political goals.
MathiasCormann Bit rich coming from a government minister that has closed Parliament for 5months to avoid accountability and scrutiny then has the audacity to call anyone “selfish” is pure hypocrisy!!
MathiasCormann Sky news, how hard is it to see under that white hood? Asking for a friend.
MathiasCormann Relax bro. The pubs and strippers are open. What pandemic are you talking about?
MathiasCormann ... a worthy cause, but very irresponsible action and timing, taking it to the streets at this time of our dealing with the COVID pandemic....it is being selfish as it’s not putting the wider community ahead of themselves.
MathiasCormann These ignorant protesters should focus less on their selfishness & self-indulgence & more on ethical responsibility toward public health & country. They could be used by foreign state sponsor group or organizations.
MathiasCormann Organisers of these Protest Marches should be required to pay the costs of Policing & damage with a large sum in advance. It is oppressive to Taxpayers to have to pay for these indulgences. They can raise money on GoFundMe.
MathiasCormann Just selfish 😂
MathiasCormann Showing his Nazi heritage
MathiasCormann He also thinks it's selfless not to buy new homes and spend 150k on renos.
MathiasCormann and Useless. He forgot Useless. Selfish, Reckless and Useless.
MathiasCormann Thousands of bored selfish wankers gather to spread coronavirus so they can parade their virtue, meanwhile murder and DV rates in indigenous communities are ignored. Not all black lives matter, it seems
MathiasCormann Agreeing to dialogue with community leaders could be a more serious response from government, towards healing. auspol
MathiasCormann I guess Cormann is looking at the real $$$ costs of the C19 & thinking we are all fcuked for 10 years. Maybe, a 'fashion-demo' in the middle of a pandemic by a crowd of mindless Greta Thunbergettes is a bad idea & a waste.
MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann Half of them probably receiving jobseeker or jobkeeper.....
MathiasCormann Back in Black also matters 😂 Recession after 29 years
MathiasCormann If you and your fuckwitt mates in Government actually fixed the problems that have been known for years around this issue, then it would be fair to say they shouldn't march. This Liberal Government is the biggest danger to the community and Australia. Out of touch!!!!!!
MathiasCormann Give people a break for once
MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann Funny, from the man who selfishly insisted the WA government allow the covid ship Artania dock so 800 plus Germans could fly home.
MathiasCormann sue them please, send em to jail.
MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann There is no pamdemic
MathiasCormann As far as the Black Lives Matters group goes they are racist in thier own right. Thier title screams it at you. AllLivesMatter not just blacks.
MathiasCormann Enough of the bs gettin on the back of this PlannedemicNotPandemic Day by day it was smelling bad, then the rot started to be exposed & it stunk worse. These Governments that are still on the back of it smell worst of all.
MathiasCormann Selfish and reckless that you and your mates still aren't sitting in Parliament.
MathiasCormann Nope. They are smart. More outbreak means more time for jobseeker and jobkeeper payment. Also longer work from home.
MathiasCormann Absolutely.
MathiasCormann Speaking of 'selfish” and “reckless” and 'failed' and 'incompetent' and 'not in politics for the right reasons'... What have you or your government done to prevent Aboriginal deaths in custody Mathais? BlackLivesMatter
MathiasCormann And everyone else is criticising the 5g & lockdown protesters who protested 2 weeks ago when the virus was worse... For some reason our LYING RORTING LIBERALS Have a short memory... They should see someone about that, it could be a serious medical condition!
MathiasCormann One of the few occasions I agree with him .
MathiasCormann Opening schools was not reckless Opening the economy is not reckless Opening borders is not reckless .... But a protest on a pressing issue... TOTALLY RECKLESS This sudden concern for health is all fake. If there was an economic aspect to the protest it would be all fine...
MathiasCormann
MathiasCormann Some news reports stating that 2 or more people from Melbourne have gone to hospital from yesterday’s march with Covid - 19. Go figure. You colonials are dumb.
MathiasCormann it was
MathiasCormann Yep, it looks like black lives dont matter to marchers and organisers if they catch Coronavirus rather than get assaulted..Bloody idiots, the lot of them....
MathiasCormann Many would also be concerned re the NSW Court of Appeal's position yesterday and sadly one protester had a different opinion and he was 'gagged' by being removed. Perhaps some don't care about this virus and what could happen yet again. 2GBNews Social distance no meaning some
MathiasCormann He has a point...
MathiasCormann worldwide coronavirus cases top 6.8 million Johns Hopkins University...
