Artikel van de Herald Sun, die laat zien hoe belachelijk draconisch de Australische Corona-maatregelen zijn. Een moeder mag haar doodzieke dochter niet opzoeken, dat terwijl de moeder volledig gevaccineerd is en bereid is zelf te betalen voor 2 weken quarantaine.
Waarom blijven de autoriteiten daar doen alsof Corona een airborne super-aids is? Misschien is het omdat Dan Andrews, premier van de staat Victoria, een enorme deal van honderden miljarden heeft gesloten met China?
Desperate NSW mum denied entry to see cancer stricken daughter in MelbourneThe Victorian health bureaucracy and the Dan Andrews government should be ashamed of the cruelty being inflicted on vulnerable people in the name of Covid safety.
We have already seen the inhumane bastardry that kept a mother from seeing her 16-year-old son for more than three weeks after he woke from a coma. Then there was the denial of an exemption for the funeral of an eight-year-old boy in Warrnambool, despite there not being a single case of Covid-19 in the country town.
Now comes another low, with a fully vaccinated Sydney mum being denied permission to enter the state to see her cancer-stricken daughter.
Katarina Anderson has not only received both Covid-19 jabs but is willing to pay for two weeks of hotel quarantine to enter Victoria from NSW. However, her application for a compassionate travel exemption, which she applied for three weeks ago, was refused on Friday.
Ms Anderson wants to come to Melbourne to care for her daughter, Georgie, who is undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment for an aggressive breast cancer that has spread.
The family has been left devastated by Victorian health authorities rejection of Ms Anderson’s application.
Georgie’s husband, Kael Hudson, has also spoken about the difficulty of caring for his wife while working full-time and attending to two children, aged two and four.
“We’re from Sydney, we have no family down here, so it’s very hard trying to take on a full-time carer’s role for my wife and look after the kids,” he told Sky News Australia.
If health authorities across the country can grant exemptions for Hollywood stars and AFL players, then surely bureaucrats can find a way to accommodate a desperate family coping with what is already a deeply distressing situation.
Telling a mother she can’t be there to provide comfort and care for her daughter is borderline barbaric.
In a civilised society such cruelty would be universally abhorred.
But throughout this pandemic we have seen too many people lose all sense of perspective and rationality and allow fear to overwhelm their decency.
Premier Andrews said on Sunday he would “double check” the case and make sure “nothing has been missed”.
“It may well be where we’re at, there are a number of people who’ve got very good reasons to come here, but the answer just has to be no”, he said.
One can only hope that media attention will see a different outcome for this family but you can be sure there are plenty of other similar cases of good people needlessly suffering so that politicians and health officials can appear tough.
