All lives matter. Terms and conditions apply.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison are VERY passionate about public health.

So passionate in fact, they’ve both been very outspoken about these Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend which they say posed a serious threat to public health.

No word yet on the much less serious public health issue of the disproportionate prosecution of Indigenous people for minor drug offences in NSW, the 30 Aboriginal prisoners who have died in NSW Police custody in the last five years, and the 437 Aboriginal people who have died in custody nationally since 1991, without even a single perpetrator.

Perhaps that’s one of Scotty’s miracles we’ve heard so much about?
