Also, have a look at how many men, women, children and dogs have to walk on the road before a motorist dodging the potholes hits one or the other.

These potholes have been filled after every shower of rain, eight to 10 times.

Mark McGowan suggested on Sunday, August 15 that Daniel Andrews controlled the coronavirus by hard lockdown and that this was the template to follow.

This very template saw the deaths of more than 800 people in Victoria.

Daniel Andrews has tried short, sharp lockdowns, snap lockdowns, long lockdowns, circuit breaker lockdowns, totalling six in all. This template just ensures lockdowns in perpetuity.

Every Australian who is highly at risk, not from catching the virus, but from dying from it, has been prioritised and they have had the opportunity to be vaccinated.

Therefore, we are now in a position to lift all restrictions and open borders.

We should not be putting more armed police and ADF personnel on the streets or increasing their powers.

The arresting of pregnant housewives for posting a tweet about a rally must stop. The fining of mothers with strollers for talking in a Sydney park is over-policing. The compulsory locking up of our Olympians for 28 days must stop. The banning of parents from seeing their newborn baby, children from seeing their dying parents and other inhumane restrictions must cease.

How can we have the temerity and audacity to accuse China of an appalling track record on human rights issues? Looks like a severe case of the pot calling the kettle black.

We must stop the bankruptcies. Let our people earn a living, let our children go to school and let us learn to live with this virus, lest we fall not just into a recession but a depression such as Australia endured 100 years ago.

I would like to extend my deepest thanks to Coles customers and team members in Wagga as we acknowledge the most extraordinary fundraising milestone.

A massive $40 million has been raised for Redkite by Coles across Australia in the past eight years - funds that go directly to support families facing childhood cancer.

Last financial year, Wagga customers helped raise more than $2000 for Redkite. Coles' fundraising has enabled 81 per cent more Australian families to have their urgent support needs met during their child's health crisis. Helping thousands of families and children affected by cancer, this has totalled 131,225 hours of counselling in hospital and in the community; 55,570 essential household bills paid; 18,626 hours of music therapy in seven hospitals across five states, and 3110 scholarships and grants for young cancer patients and survivors.

Coles Group has been a passionate supporter of families affected by childhood cancer since partnering with Redkite in 2013, transforming the way they are cared for throughout their cancer experience.
