Author and retired journalist John Stapleton has spoken of his disbelief in how state governments reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting Australians have lost trust in them.
Retired news reporter John Stapleton has released an explosive new book, Australia Breaks Apart, slamming the country’s"deranged" pandemic response and his fears of history repeating itself.
The author said “it was one of those things, you couldn’t make this up” that the rules and restrictions imposed on Australians during the pandemic were established with no “medical evidence”. He said the rules brought in across the country were “mind-blowingly complex” and “induced a kind of societal anxiety and fear”, claiming many Australians may have completely lost trust in the government.
Chris Kenny agreed the snap decisions made by state and federal government were done on “so little evidence, so little cost-benefit analysis, so little public debate”.
