So refreshing to read your articles! It is so energising to read something which validates one's views, insights, value system. So BIG BIG BIG thank you for looking at things from angles that you do and for going deep enough to that "most common denominator" from which "things" evolve.

Without hesitation I agree.I was thinking thoughts along the same lines you expressed in your article for the last couple of months. The phenomena you described is omnipresent...every main stream media ALWAYS chooses to interview a health "expert" professor or Doctor of some sort that pretty much says the same thing as Queensland Health Minister. Of so many doctors they always find the ones that have the SAME VIEWS as official narative. Coincidence really?

When the media and government use the expression "the experts say", I have been wondering how they determine who is an "expert". I have never found their definition of the term "expert".

I think we know who “the experts” are; they are paid mouthpieces

When you leave something broad enough you can fit everything in it without saying/doing anything. Australian Public Service is ALL about creating perceptions. Look at every policy, every outcome, Senate Estimates its all structured that Matrix of success are either non existant or are broad enough that anything can be scaled to fit it. The point is, every analysis starts with extremes. You analyse opposing constructs to get a sense of "what is going on" Hence, at the bare minimum, in the context of being faced with a " new pandemic" or anything polarising you give voice to "experts" (whoever you decide to consider an expert) with opposing views. Thats how analysis STARTS. It is not a rocket science. BUT government in Australia is below basic human common decency. We need CHANGE from liberal/labour rollercoasters, In my humble opinion.
