      There comes a point you cannot just tweet this without context and fact. Journalists don't just spew out whatever ministers say. They provide the background and context. Urgh. I'm disgusted. This is not what holding government to account looks like. This damaging and appalling.https://twitter.com/RNBreakfast/status/1424488121303855106 …

      Former Cabinet Minister Matt Canavan says every life saved during the Sydney lockdown has cost taxpayers $330 million. "I admitted my figures, my calculations are only rough estimates because there's no data out there," says @mattjcan, QLD LNP senator.

      What does that figure even mean? How many deaths does he think the lockdown has prevented? What would be the economic cost of *not* locking down?

          I pointed out his gross error last week and he acknowledged it, but he just blurts out the original wrong number today. He also doesn’t factor in stuff like chronic illness and associated costs.https://twitter.com/MJIBrown/status/1423145554041729024 …

          Replying to @FinancialReview
          A big problem with @mattjcan's back of the envelope number is he uses 4000 cases averted "to date" (late July) from @BurnetInstitute, whereas for August 1000+ new cases per day are being averted. Probably changes his numbers by a factor of 10 or so. https://insightplus.mja.com.au/2021/28/sydney-avoids-4000-cases-but-lockdown-must-be-broadened/ …

          They just make it up as they go along. This junk shouldn’t be given a platform. It’s outrageous .
