Who better to demand the Chinese be open about wet markets than the man who’s spent years refusing to discuss “on water matters”?
The Prime Minister with an “excessive secrecy” problem according to Leigh Sales, or a pathological lying problem to anyone who doesn’t have Murdoch or the Coalition breathing down their necks, is leading the charge for greater international transparency in responding to future pandemics.
The PM, acting as Australia’s Chief Integrity Ambassador now that Christopher Skase is dead, spoke on the phone yesterday with U.S. integrity czar Donald Trump.
The man ultimately responsible for allowing the largest source of coronavirus cases in Australia to dock in Sydney Harbour talked with the man who cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention budget well into the coronavirus crisis about “working together to improve the transparency and effectiveness of international responses to pandemics”.
It’s hard to think of two leaders better situated to demand public accountability than those completely ruled by fossil fuel companies and the Murdoch Press.
