Day 12 cont 💰🧧🇨🇳

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:

“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.

A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”

…

“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”

The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

Anyone who has visited Sydney's CBD in the past 10 days has been told to monitor for symptoms of the potentially deadly Legionnaires' disease after six people were hospitalised.

Those who have been in the CBD over the past week and a half are urged to remain alert for any symptoms of the disease including fever, chills, a cough and shortness of breath.

Legionnaires' disease takes between two to 10 days to develop following exposure, according to Dr Sheppeard.

People who have been in the CBD who develop symptoms during this period are urged to visit their GP to get tested and receive treatment

The #LNP have a candidate problem continued…

“Speaking at a #RenewableEnergy conference in #Sydney on Wednesday, #SurangelWhipps Jr described seeing two-thirds of an island in his archipelago country disappear under water in his lifetime. “For those of us in the #Pacific who have lived through storm surges, #rising #ocean levels and increasingly high tides, the phrase ‘water lapping at our door’ is not a metaphor or a punchline. It’s our fear and reality,” he said.

The comment was an apparent reference to a 2015 incident in which #PeterDutton, while #ImmigrationMinister, was overheard on a hot mic joking with then-prime minister #TonyAbbott (#dickhead) about delays during a visit to Papua New Guinea (#PNG) , saying “time doesn’t mean anything when you’re about to have water lapping at your door”.

Rules are applied only when needed.
