The Daily Breakdown

Australia's escape from COVID prison was written by the Village People, why China is whacking Australian barley producers and the scandalous case against Lt Gen Mike Flynn - the greatest scandal in history lands on Obama's desk.

The evidence is in: we don't know nuthin about Kung Flu and our 'leaders' are scared to set us free. Today we investigate the cost of COVID-19, the conflicting evidence and the failures of Health officials in Victoria.

When KK decided to suck up to the union movement by saying we need to protect Australian jobs by cutting migration, she must have thought she was on a safe wicket. Big mistake. in the modern ALP, workers don't matter. You must worship at the altar of multiculturalism. It's a rude awakening for Australia's most cynical politician.

Every single analysis of Sweden's response to COVID-19 has been pushing an ideological barrow. Today on The Breakdown, the truth about Sweden's response to COVID-19. What we know and what it's costing. And what we can learn from Tanzania.

Andrew Forrest is a spineless, gutless apologist for the Chinese Communist Party. But he has a mate. Today we introduce you to Kerry Stokes, the latest Perth billionaire to come to the defence of China (including Chinese wet markets, seriously!) in direct contradiction of Australia's national interest and commonsense.

Andrew Forrest's company FMG was saved by Chinese state-owned enterprises in the ashes of the Global Financial Crisis and he has been repaying the Chinese Communist Party ever since. Yesterday he was praised for bringing 10 million COVID-19 testing kits to Australia at a cost of $320 million. This was a propaganda coup for China and Forrest. For a start, it's not a gift from Forrest. Taxpayers are fitting the bill.

We always knew that increasing JobSeeker wouldn't be temporary, and now the social engineers are making the case for why it should be permanent, completely ignoring its perverse incentives. And we explore the positive of COVID-19 - how it's exposed the true face of China.

Make no mistake, Australians are being blackmailed. We are being asked to trade out freedoms for our liberty with COVID-SAFE. This is not a bargain between a people and their government but between a prisoner and their parole board. We also investigate the lunacy of Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr and why Donald Trump might have been right when he saw the light (and the shocking insight it provides int big tech and big media).

The more we test for COVID-19 the more cases we find and the less lethal it becomes. It also becomes clearer every day that we massively overreacted to a threat most of us will never face but will be paying for for decades to come.

The evidence is in and the data is clear: Australia botched its response to COVID-19. We should have locked up the oldies and delivered them food, bog roll and Murder, She Wrote DVDs. Instead, the government locked us down and sent us to our room because they treat us like children and we always look to government to save us.
