Gladys Berejiklian repeatedly boasting today that NSW has the best COVID-19 processes in the nation. Why does she always feel compelled to troll the other states?
Probably because she can (on this matter).
Edit - 1 in ICU - first for while.
Sure, Victoria had a bad 2nd wave. But you're not seriously saying that NSW has done better than QLD or WA are you? Both economically and in terms of health outcomes. That's not even up for debate.
No, and don't think she is either.
But she can - and does - point to:
- dealing with the majority of overseas travellers into Australia and doing a good job of it
- not knee jerk closing borders without considering risk etc
And she's probably ScoMos pet at National Cabinet - so she gets to shit on them a little.
Plus being the premier of the most populous and economically strong state mean's she got a bit more power than the other states.
And she's politically very strong ... her biggest political pain is her own coalition partner (Jonny B) and herself. And the media on both sides love her.
(Clearly there is a bunch of negatives - Ruby P on her watch etc, sleeping with a criminal... but she's played it all well).
