      What condescending nonsense? What I saw and heard was a lot of empathy and consideration flowing your way.https://twitter.com/theage/status/1408915202771406848 …

      I sincerely hope no one gets sick and no one dies, but gee their two-week lockdown will prick their self-righteous balloon and put an end to the condescending nonsense that has been raining down on Victorians for months, writes Jon Faine | OPINION https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/what-is-good-for-sydney-in-fighting-this-cluster-is-good-for-all-of-us-20210625-p5849p.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1624746104 …

      That's a bad bit of headlining, and the article is a lot more nuanced. And living here I can tell you we have copped a lot of criticism.

      I disagree that the article is more nuanced - if anything, it's worse than the headline. Reads very much as "this is what I want to say but probably shouldn't"pic.twitter.com/3iwB7r5F5v

      NSW is highly political when it comes to Covid. I noted how most of today's cases were not in quarantine, but the focus in the presser was on that fortunately one third were.

      Press conferences always focus on the positive, but I'm not sure the implication that NSW Health is staffed by corrupt, negligent fools who have been doing nothing about the pandemic is true, fair, or even moderately plausible

      Arguing that a lockdown was 'deferred' (by 24 hours) because of "political posturing" is bizarre and incorrect. It's a truly shocking article, the only thing more surprising to me is the fact that this attitude is apparently wholeheartedly supported by so many people

      Presumably if Victoria has another outbreak it will only be fair for some NSW commentators to write articles about how they're truly sorry it happened but also Victoria clearly deserved it and ultimately it might be a good thing

      We already copped all that.

      And so the most reasonable response is to cheer when someone writes the same things but about other people 🤔🤔🤔

          No, just pointing out that we are still copping it.
