Another silver lining of this should put an end to Green/watermelon politics and their delusional support base.
If predictions for a post lockdown financial downturn eventuates, people are going to have more things to worry about than cycle lanes, increasing the refugee quota, making more gender neutral bathrooms available or increasing the amount of women in managerial positions.
The Greens unrealistic ideologically driven policies that don't deliver in the real world are going to be at the bottom of peoples priorities when businesses are folding and they're been laid off.

Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson’s East Coast getaway has angered locals


A TASMANIAN politician staying at his East Coast shack has sparked anger among locals who say it “sends the wrong message”.

Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson said he been given the all clear from police on Saturday after self presenting to verify that staying at his Bicheno holiday home wasn't a breach of government-enforced protocols.

But Federal MP Lyons Brian Mitchell said by visiting his coastal residence, Mr Whish-Wilson had “disregarded pleas to stay home” by healthcare workers nationwide.

Mr Whish-Wilson said that apart from a parliamentary trip to Canberra last week, he had spent the past four weeks staying in the seaside town – arriving before Premier Peter Gutwein introduced a ban on Tasmanians visiting rural shacks.

A Bicheno local on Saturday told The Mercury Mr Whish-Wilson was seen near shops and beaches and not in self-quarantine.

Under federal legislation, senators and federal MPs are exempt from the recently-enforced 14-day isolation period for new arrivals to Tasmania.

“The police assessed my circumstances and have made it clear I am not currently in breach of the legislation and guidelines,” Mr Whish-Wilson said.

“I have fully complied with the stay at home directions and have been in my home in Bicheno for almost four weeks now with the exception of a brief visit to Canberra for parliament.

“I understand the fear and uncertainty in many Tasmanian communities at the moment – it’s important that we stay together as communities, support each other, follow the guidelines on staying home and staying safe during this time.”

Classic example of do as I say not as I do, everyone has to abide by these restrictions - except senators
